If you’ve ever thought about booking a boudoir session but worried it might feel awkward, forced, or too revealing, you’re not alone. At Christie Conyer Studio, our goal is to create editorial style portraits that feel authentic and empowering, not uncomfortable or cliché. Here are five things I’ll never ask you to do (and what I focus on instead).
1. I’ll Never Expect You to Know How to Pose
You don’t need to practice in front of a mirror or study Pinterest, that’s my job, and it’s truly my superpower. With over 14 years of experience photographing women of every size, shape, and comfort level, I know how to guide you into poses that feel natural and look stunning on camera. I’ll direct every detail, from the tilt of your chin to the placement of your hands. All you have to do is relax, trust the process, and feel beautiful while I create flattering, editorial portraits you’ll love.
2. I’ll Never Push You Into Looks You’re Not Comfortable With
Every session is tailored to your style and comfort level, whether that’s fully covered, subtly suggestive, or bold and powerful. Your boundaries are always respected and your images will remain timeless.
3. I’ll Never Ask You to Smile If It Doesn’t Feel Authentic
This isn’t school-picture-day. Editorial boudoir is about emotion, presence, and mood, whether that’s soft and serene, bold and fierce, or quietly confident. No forced smiles here.
4. I’ll Never Let Negative Self-Talk Take Over
Your session is about celebrating the body you have right now. My job is to guide and pose you in ways that feel natural and look beautiful, no matter your size, shape, or season of life. I won’t let self-criticism steal the joy of this experience; instead, I’ll help you see yourself with new eyes.
5. I’ll Never Make the Experience Feel Rushed or Cookie-Cutter
This is about artistry and connection, not churning out generic photos. We slow down, customize, and create something that feels like you…and only you.
