Welcome to Body Love Collective, LLC
Hey friend!
Let's get you started on your journey to self love and empowerment!
Here's what you need to know...
Boudoir is first and foremost for you. My favorite people to work with are folx who are genuinely interested in seeing themselves from an outside perspective - it takes bravery to step in front of the camera, especially sans clothes. At the end of this journey, you're going to be seeing yourself with fresh, empowered eyes. If someone else gets to enjoy the photos afterward - that's just a bonus.
It's 100% normal to be nervous. No one walks into their session day without some level of nervous energy, and that is totally okay! Pretty much every human I’ve worked with has nit-picked themselves to pieces, but I can promise you that I will counter all of your perceived insecurities with kind words. If there's one thing I’ve learned from my work, it's that we spend WAY too much time overthinking shit, when no one else that matters even notices.
You’re in good hands. Jen has been a photographer for nearly 7 years, so she know just how to use lighting and posing to bring out your most beautiful, radiant self. You DON'T have to be a model to do boudoir - every person you see on this website is just "regular" person. You don't need to know how to pose, that's my job and I’ll walk you through everything step-by-step.
Don't wait forever. Screw feeling like you need to change x about your body first! Boudoir is all about celebrating the body that you have RIGHT NOW. Forget societal beauty standards + insecurities - it's your BODY. Your vessel through this journey we call life. OWN it! You deserve to see how sexy you are. Plus, once you see yourself from a more intimate perspective, you'll bring more confidence to everyday situations, especially ones that involve a camera.
What To Expect
From Start To Finish!
Getting Ready For Your Shoot
Once you've booked your session you'll have access to my Prep + Style Guides, which are full of super helpful tools to help you get ready for your session.
The prep guide walks you through what to think about/do from the month, week, and even the day before your session and the style guide goes over types of lingerie/wardrobe options and how to de/emphasize particular features... so there's literally NO guesswork to be done! You can also reach out any time for help.
Styling
I recommend you utilize a professional makeup artist for your shoot.
All shoots also include wardrobe guidance by Jen- we're in this together!
Your Photo Shoot
The day of your shoot, you'll arrive at my residential studio (or our agreed upon locale) to find me waiting for you. You'll come in, we'll chat a bit, and get a plan together!
Then it's time for the shoot.. don't worry about posing- that’s all on me. I will walk you through
posing and expressions, down to the tiniest details. I have tons of tips and tricks that will keep your mind off of your nerves.
The Big Reveal
The BEST part! A couple of weeks after your photo shoot, we’ll get to do a virtual (over live video chat) image reveal and ordering appointment.
This is when you'll get to see your gorgeous photos and choose what goodies you'd like to buy.
