Tips & Tricks To Calm The Nerves Before Your Boudoir Session

Drink Your Water

This is probably one of the BEST things to do, not only to help calm the nerves, but just to feeeeel better! Drinking water can help you feel refreshed and energized! You definitely do not want to feel tired or lethargic; you need to embrace spicy, fun, and good energy! Drink tons of water leading up to your shoot, and start your day with some too! 

Listen To Your Jam

You know that song that just gets you in the BEST mood?! That one song you can ALWAYS count on to get you out of a funk or turn your day around?! Play it LOUD! Music is such a powerful healing tool and can bring instant relief to soooo many in such a different way! Make a playlist or keep that special song on repeat!

Positive Self-Talk

One of the BEST ways to calm your nerves before your boudoir session?! Positive self-talk. Don’t focus on all the negatives, focus on the beautiful things that make you, YOU! Your beautiful curves, your hot body, gorgeous hair…everything! You are stepping out of your comfort zone and finally doing something for yourself! You deserve this girl, OWN IT! Be kind to yourself and remember that you are beautiful, just as you are.

Breathe In, Breathe Out

Breathing exercises can be soooo helpful in reducing anxiety and stress. Take a few deep breaths before your boudoir photoshoot, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. This can help to slow down your heart rate and calm your nerves. We are here for you! We got you!
