PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS,
Empowerment
Sessions
are the new
Boudoir experience.
Build the ultimate, all-inclusive empowerment experience every modern boudoir client needs.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
You WANT to differentiate your brand from the competition-
but the industry is saturated with boudoir photographers.
You sit down to research ways you can offer your clients a deeper, more impactful, luxury experience- but all that comes up is blog after blog about the gear to get, sets to build, the poses to shoot and don't even get me started with the borrowed lingerie in the “Client Closet".
(Don’t worry I have a solution to that madness.)
Every glimpse of an original idea that you do find feels like something you've seen a million times a few scrolls deep into Instagram or Pinterest. From outdated and expensive albums with long lead times to predictable, kitschy view-finders, finding new and unique ways to offer clients a safe space to re-experience their intimate images, is a real challenge in our industry.
Build an authentic , impactful, wildly unforgettable portrait experience-
that builds community around your brand AND has your clients shouting your name from the rooftops.
REAL TALK
We often think success is about having the most expensive gear or the biggest studio full of constantly revolving styled sets,
Negative Ghost Rider.
Today, the average portrait client is well educated in what makes a good photo. You can produce some of the greatest images but if the human on the other end of the camera isn't engaged and connected with you they aren't going to feel seen.
And THAT is the secret ingredient for a powerful, unforgettable brand.
Your clients will forget the things you said, the poses they did and even the clothes they wore, but will never forget the way you made them feel.
You’re more than “just a photographer,” you’re a Curator of Experience.
