Preparing for your session
The Boudoir Experience Prep Guide
Taking the time to prep everything for your shoot will keep you relaxed and feeling confident. Throwing everything together last minute will make you feel frazzled and out of sorts. We want you to have a fabulous experience from start to finish and the best way is simply to feel prepared.
Relax… Be yourself !
You’re investing a lot in this experience, so enjoy it. Have faith that you’re enough, the rest is up to us and we’ll make sure you look amazing. We’ll have snacks, fun, and laughs. I promise!
Your Skin
Hydrate the week of your shoot, your skin will love it and it will give you a refreshed look. It’s a great idea to exfoliate your body prior to your shoot, make sure not to irritate and redden your skin though, best to do it 2 or 3 days before your session. Make sure to moisturize your skin the night before. If you wax, shave or laser make sure to do it or have it done leaving enough time for your skin to calm down if you are prone to any reaction. Please don’t go for a tanning session for at least a week before your shoot, it will not look natural and adds an orange tint to your skin.
Your Face
Treat yourself to a facial! Your skin will glow, just make sure to know how your skin reacts and give yourself time for your skin to calm down after your treatment. Get your eyebrows done. Since they frame your eyes, they’re an important part of prepping.
Your Hair
Get a trim before your shoot, typically a week prior. Don’t go for a drastic hairstyle change right before your session. Make sure that if you color your hair your roots are touched up and deep conditioning can help your hair shine.
What to Wear
Beautiful Lingerie should make you feel beautiful even if it is not seen by anyone but you. Choosing outfits can be a bit stressful, the most important thing to remember is to make sure you choose outfits that make you feel sexy, but at the same time are comfortable. Bring at least one bra and panty set. Corsets, garters, and nylons are also great. An oversized sweater can lend itself to a more casual and very sexy look. For an edgier look, a bra and leggings with killer heels can be a wild combo. Accessorize your looks with stunning shoes, bring at least a couple of pairs that work with your outfits. Remember you’re not going to be walking in them so they don’t have to be super comfortable. Other accessories that work are necklaces, earrings, scarves, hats, and gloves.
Arrive on Time
Please make sure to arrive on time for your scheduled session so your shoot isn’t cut short. We need to stay on schedule to make sure your session is everything we promise. Hair and makeup will take a certain amount of time and we want to make sure we have all the time we need for your shoot.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ll start with a pre-session consultation to discuss your vision, expectations, and goals for your boudoir session. This may include discussing wardrobe guidance, hair and makeup styling, and any specific themes, props, or poses that you desire.
On the day of you’ll start with professional hair and makeup to ensure you look and feels your best for your shoot. Next, you’ll head to the studio that’s a comfortable and private space for you to feel at ease during your session. There you’ll receive professional guidance and coaching on how to pose and position your body in a way that is both flattering and highlights your best features!
After your session, you will head over to our professional massage therapist during your massage, you can expect to receive a rejuvenating and relaxing experience that focuses on releasing tension and promoting overall well-being. As you settle onto a comfortable massage table, our skilled massage therapist will begin by applying gentle pressure to warm up your muscles and prepare your body for deeper work. She may use a variety of techniques such as kneading, rolling, and stretching to target specific areas of tension or pain. Our therapist’s expert hands will work in rhythm, employing soothing strokes and varying pressures to ease muscle knots, improve blood circulation, and reduce stress. You will feel your body gradually unwinding as the therapist skillfully manipulates your muscles, promoting a sense of deep relaxation. The tranquil environment, often accompanied by soft music and calming scents, will further enhance your experience, allowing you to fully surrender to the healing touch. By the end of the massage, you can expect to feel both physically and mentally renewed, with a restored sense of balance and harmony within your body.

You’ll then receive a proofing gallery to choose your favorite images, which I then do full image retouching and editing on before sending them back to you via your own private, password-protected online gallery for you to download from.
While I do not offer body modification, you can absolutely feel at ease and confident that I will edit to your comfort level of skin smoothing & blemish removal. Should you want anything outside of that done, please let me know and we can discuss what it is that you’re wanting!
I want to emphasize that boudoir sessions are about celebrating and embracing your uniqueness, beauty, and self-confidence; all while showing you how to love your body as she is.🥰
Boudoir photography aims to capture the essence of who you are, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to boost your self-esteem and see yourself in a new light. Remember that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to boudoir sessions.
I will work with you to create stunning images that highlight your best features and showcase your individuality. Guiding you through poses, lighting, and wardrobe choices that will leave you feeling empowered and proud of your body!
So, don’t let your worries or insecurities hold you back from experiencing a boudoir session. Instead, use this opportunity to celebrate your body and embrace your unique beauty. After all, confidence and self-love are the most attractive qualities anyone can possess!
You’re gorgeous babes, don’t ever forget it 🤗 😘

3. Bodysuits: A form-fitting bodysuit can be a great option for a boudoir session, as it accentuates your curves and can be easily paired with stockings or thigh-high socks.

Pre-payment plans for boudoir sessions offer clients the opportunity to spread out the costs of their session over time, making them more affordable and accessible!
With a pre-payment plan, you can reserve your session and make payments in installments before the actual session takes place. This allows you to budget and save up for your boudoir experience without feeling overwhelmed by the cost, and ensure that you get exactly what you’re wanting out of your boudoir experience!
Here are some examples of pre-payment plans you can consider:
1. In-house Pre-Payment Plan:
With this plan, clients can split the total session cost into a payment schedule that works for them. The first payment is due at the time of booking, while the remaining payments will be due weekly, biweekly, or even monthly leading up to your session date!
2. Afterpay or Paypal Credit:
I do also accept both Afterpay & Paypal Credit as well! These are third-party pay-over-time lenders that are dependent on credit approval that you’ll need to apply for on their websites before using them at checkout when your invoice is sent over!
It is recommended to book your boudoir session at least 2-3 months in advance. This allows enough time for you to prepare for the session, communicate your vision with the photographer, and consider any wardrobe or styling options. Additionally, booking further out provides an opportunity to opt for affordable pre-payment plans should you need one, making it easier to manage the financial aspect of the session. Remember, a boudoir session is a personal and empowering experience, so giving yourself ample time to plan and prepare will ensure a more enjoyable and memorable experience.
