Why Women Trust Me with their Boudoir Photoshoot

The biggest thing between a boudoir photographer and a Muse - trust. For most women I work with, boudoir is extremely vulnerable, something they’ve never done before, and maybe even a little scary. And yet, despite all those uneasy feelings, we still get a gallery full of beautiful photos that make them say “I can’t believe that’s me!”

So what’s the secret? Why is it these women come to me to create art with them, to celebrate all that they are? Let’s chat about it, and maybe I can help ease your mind about booking your own life-changing boudoir experience.

Sharing Myself with You

You can’t trust someone who is a complete stranger, right? You have to get to know someone; see how they talk, and what they’re about. This is why I’m always infusing my personality into everything I say and do online. Social media is of course where I can be the most social, so I’ll shamelessly plug my instagram here! I love sharing behind the scenes of photoshoots, and just my everyday life, because I really bring myself to every photoshoot. I love to laugh and make others laugh, I’m overall just a naturally goofy person. Watch my reels for proof, lol.

Since the chances of you discovering me for the first time online is pretty much guaranteed, giving you a taste of my personality and what is important to me is a big deal! But you knowing who I am is not the only thing I care about. I also want to get to know you, too!

I’ll Keep in Touch

One thing about me, is that I’m gonna be in your ear. Not enough for you to be sick of me (hopefully, lol) but just enough to let you know that I’m here to give you my full creative attention. I only take on 4 sessions a month for this exact reason! When you first inquire, we’ll schedule a phone chat together to talk about your dreams for your session. This is also another opportunity for you to get to know me a bit more — you’ll hear the excitement in my voice, and realize I’m a real person and not just an email address with a face. It’s also the first chance I get to hear about you, why you want to do a boudoir session, and connect with you on a more personal level.

Throughout the planning process, you can trust that I’ll be in your inbox regularly to help you feel as prepared as possible for your boudoir photoshoot. I send you a Welcome Guide as soon as you book to get you started, then periodically you’ll see more from me so that you’re never feeling like I booked you and forgot about you until session day. Your boudoir experience with me is collaborative, so connecting with you and combining my skill and your vision is what really brings it to life.

We’re In This Together

My relationship building with you doesn’t stop when we get to the studio. One of my favorite parts of the day is just sitting and chatting with you while you’re having your hair and makeup done at the studio. We get to interact in person, cracking jokes together and sharing stories of womanhood and life and shitty exes. I’m not about to leave you high and dry when we start shooting, either.

I act as your guide and literal mirror when it comes to posing. That means I’m down on the floor with you, getting into the poses so you can follow my lead, making sure your hands aren’t awkward and your hair is right where it should be. I’ll give you a little peek behind the camera, too, so you can see that your hard work is paying off! I’m the artist to your muse; we do it all together!

"Malina is an AMAZING photographer. She was so patient and friendly throughout the whole session. She made me feel so comfortable and powerful! Plus the pictures came out GORGEOUS! 100% going to be booking her again!"

Kandace K

"Absolutely incredible photographer and photoshoot experience! Malina is fantastic to work with and goes above and beyond to make your vision a reality! If you are hesitating to book with her, just do it!!!"

Kelcey K

"Malina is an absolute angel, from stepping foot in the door to leaving I felt like a queen. As soon as you arrive her and Kelsee make you feel so comfortable and it seems like you've known them for ever because they treat you like family. She makes you feel comfortable and beautiful in your own skin the whole time. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family. The experience was beyond perfect and I loved every step of it. I would rebook multiple times with Malina."

Maegan W

"Malina was absolutely AMAZING to work with. I really stepped out of my comfort zone and was feeling very hesitant the closer I got to my shoot date. When I got there the environment was so fun, warm, and welcoming. She really made it a safe space. I felt like I could really let loose, have fun, be confident, and vulnerable all at once...in the best way possible. Going into this experience I thought I would do it once and that would be it. Wow, was I wrong. I am already looking forward to my next shoot with her!"

Hannah G

"Malina is a photography god! I have had the pleasure of doing multiple shoots with her and she will continue to be my go to until she retires. She has such a beautiful talent and can capture amazing moments! I couldn’t recommend her services enough. Invest in yourself and the memories you want to keep forever!"

Ultimately, your trust in me as your boudoir photographer is what allows you to let go, explore, play, and really be in the moment during your photoshoot. It’s an experience that deserves your full attention, and having nerves about whether or not your photographer is going to take care of you is not the business.
