I'm Jo

hey!

There’s a moment that happens with almost every woman I photograph.

It’s not during hair and makeup. It’s not when the first outfit goes on. It’s not even during the first few poses.

It’s later. When she sees herself.

And she says something like:

“I almost didn’t do this.” “I was so close to canceling.” “I was terrified I’d hate the photos.”

But instead? She lights up. She stares. She gasps. She tears up. She smiles like she hasn’t in years.

Let’s talk about why women say yes when they’re scared—and why it becomes one of the best decisions they ever make.


1. Fear Is Part of the Process

If you’re scared to book a session, you’re not broken. You’re human.

We’ve been taught to hide. To shrink. To wait until we’re perfect to step into the spotlight.

But here’s the truth: perfection is a myth, and readiness is a lie.

Most women don’t feel ready. They feel brave anyway.

That’s where the magic is.


2. There’s a Reason You Keep Thinking About It

You’ve probably saved boudoir photos before. You’ve watched videos of women being photographed. You’ve imagined what it might be like—only to immediately shut it down with a “not me.”

But that little voice inside? The one that keeps whispering, “What if…”?

That’s not your doubt. That’s your desire.

And desire? It deserves to be followed.


3. You Don’t Need to Know How to Be Sexy

The biggest fear I hear?

“I’m not sexy. I don’t know how to pose.”

And every time, I smile. Because it’s not your job to know how to pose. That’s my job.

I guide you. I show you. I demonstrate and direct.

I’ll adjust your hands. Fix your hair. Tweak your hips. Tell you where to look. I’ll hype you like we’ve been besties since middle school.

All you have to do is show up. The sexy? It finds its way out.


4. You Will See Yourself Differently—Immediately

The transformation is instant.

The first photo you see of yourself in that light, in that pose, with that expression? It shifts something.

“I didn’t know I could look like that.” “I’ve never seen myself that way.” “Is that really me?”

Yes. It’s really you. The most radiant, powerful, true version of you.


5. Booking Scared Is a Radical Act of Self-Love

When you book scared, you’re doing more than scheduling a session. You’re rewriting the story that says you’re not enough.

You’re saying:

“I matter.” “I deserve to take up space.” “I want to remember who I am.”

You’re not waiting until life calms down, until you tone up, until you feel more worthy. You’re doing it now. Because now is your life.


6. You’re Not Alone In This

I don’t just work with women who are already confident. I work with women who are rebuilding.

Women going through divorce. Women healing from trauma. Women reclaiming their bodies after babies. Women who have spent decades putting themselves last.

This studio? It’s for you. Not the polished, perfect you. The real, raw, ready-to-be-reborn you.


7. The Beta Baddie Experience Makes It Even Easier to Say Yes
