If you are running boudoir photography ads and you want them to get approved, don’t show traditionally “boudoir-ish” images.

This is a challenge for sure, but instead of getting annoyed and venting about social media policies, focus on figuring out how to play by their rules.
Sure, you can add bars to cover the parts of her body that Facebook or Instagram don’t want you to show, but I have seen that that can still get you banned from their platforms. You probably already know that even if you have a client who is okay with you sharing nude photos of her, you still can’t post them to social media. How to Post and Advertise Boudoir Photos Online While Complying with PoliciesĪs boudoir photographers, we need to make sure we are not advertising boudoir photography that will get our accounts shut down. Make sure to ask if this is okay, and of course, always have them sign an image release. Some women don’t want you to share images online but are totally fine with you showing clients who inquire or come to your studio, if you have one. You can also ask if you can share “in studio” only. It is very rare to have a boudoir client be okay with you sharing all of the photos from a shoot, but 95 percent of clients will let you share some-especially if you are making an effort to include those detail and anonymous shots in their selection. I’ll ask, “Which images can I share?” instead of asking, “Can I share your images?” I only ask about sharing images at the ordering session, and only after a client has chosen their images. So in your boudoir sessions, make sure you are also capturing those anonymous photos and detail shots. Obviously, you need to respect your client’s wishes, but there are a few things you can do to increase the chances of having images you can share and use in your marketing materials.Of course, we still want to show images with a face, showing emotion and connection, but women (who make up most boudoir clients) are much more likely to allow you to share images that don’t show her face or identity.

The images are amazing and you have share-worthy shots. We have all been there: We have a client who completely kills their boudoir shoot. What to Do When Your Boudoir Clients Don’t Want You To Share Images As boudoir photographers, we need to make our marketing about two very important rules: trust from you clients and compliance with social media practices. The “where do I find clients” question is one of the biggest, most common questions I get asked, by new boudoir photographers and seasoned pros alike. So, what is a boudoir photographer to do? How do we find clients? How do we get in front of our ideal clients? Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms have rules around posting nudity or anything they deem to be “sexual in nature,” which oftentimes includes boudoir photography. Boudoir photographers aren’t always able to post the images they do get approval from clients to share.If boudoir photographers don’t have images to share with the market, how can they show potential clients what they can do? Obviously, boudoir photography is an intimate and private type of shoot the majority of people aren’t going to want photographers to post their images anywhere. A lot of boudoir photography clients don’t want their images shared at all.
I have been a boudoir photographer since 2011, and boudoir photographers have unique challenges to advertising boudoir photography that other portrait genres just don’t have. Every photographer wants to know how to get clients and fill up their calendars, am I right? After all, if you don’t have people buying what you are offering, then you don’t have a business.
