A Boudoir Session and Your Period

A BOUDOIR SESSION AND YOUR PERIOD

You booked a boudoir session, you’re super excited, you’ve waited for the day to come, you’ve followed all my advice on how to prepare for an amazing boudoir experience, and then…oh no…the cramps hit.

Your period has decided to make a special guest appearance when you’ve already scheduled your boudoir session. Now what?

What do you do? Do you go to your session anyway? Do you reschedule? Do you sit and panic?

Step 1: Take a deep breath, you have options!

STARTING YOUR PERIOD BEFORE YOUR BOUDOIR SESSION DOES NOT HAVE TO STOP THE SHOW

In all seriousness, if your period comes before your boudoir session, it’s not the end of the world. I’ve photographed plenty of women who were on their period and they still loved their photos.

In my experience, sometimes when you’re on your period, it can be good to take some pain relievers and then get your body moving a bit – even if it isn’t exactly what you feel like doing at the time. A boudoir session can sometimes be a much needed distraction during your period.

Even if you’re feeling bloated, I promise that my lighting and posing will have you looking great anyway!

That being said…

YOUR COMFORT IS MY PRIORITY

If you deal with painful periods and excessive bloating as so many women do, and you don’t think a boudoir session is a good idea for you when you’re on your period. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask to reschedule.

I want you to feel comfortable and thoroughly enjoy your boudoir experience. If that means rescheduling for next week when your period is all gone, I’m perfectly happy to do that for you!

ALL THAT TO SAY…

It’s pretty much up to you. We can do the session anyway if you’re not feeling too bad, or we can reschedule to a time when you aren’t bleeding profusely.

If you need to reschedule, just reach out and let me know. The more notice you can give me, the better!

Whatever you decide to do, I’m here for you to make sure you have an amazing boudoir photography experience.
