6 Tips to Prepare for Your Boudoir Session
Suggested Post Title: Preparing for your boudoir session
1 - Choose your Wardrobe – Lingerie is great, but you don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to. A button-down shirt, sports jersey, oversized sweater, or tight shirt and booty shorts are great alternatives. Be sure to try on your outfit(s) prior to your session to ensure everything fits properly. We will help you plan your wardrobe, down to the smallest detail during your wardrobe planning appointment.
2- Plan Your Accessories – Make sure you think about jewelry, shoes, props, etc. Pack anything you need to get ready for your session. For props, we suggest bringing personal items that are significant to your partner – sports gear, dog tags, lab coat, etc. We have many ideas to share with you!
3- Hair and Makeup – Our hair and makeup artists will make sure that you look flawless and ready for your special day! We recommend bringing a makeup inspiration photo (from Pinterest) to share with your makeup artist.
4- Exposure – Talk to us prior to the session to let us know what you are comfortable with and how exposed, or unexposed, you want to be during your session. Everyone has a different comfort level, and we will talk to you about your comfort level during your wardrobe planning session prior to your appointment so there are no awkward moments.
5- Pre-Session Beauty Prep – We suggest getting a mani/Pedi a few days prior to your session. If you wax, don’t forget to pencil that into your schedule, as well. If you want to have a base tan for your photos, we recommend beginning to tan a few weeks prior to your session to avoid burning – and remember to think about your outfit and avoid any tan lines that will look bad in photos. We suggest staying away from spray tans. Don’t forget to get your eyebrows shaped up before your session.
A few days before your session, lower your salt intake to avoid bloating, and also eat a light breakfast the morning of your boudoir session. Drink a lot of water leading up to your session for beautiful, healthy skin, and get a good night’s rest the night before. Shave and moisturize for beautiful legs. Wear clear deodorant. Don’t wear tight clothing, bras, panties, socks, etc. the morning of your session or driving to your session. These will leave marks on your skin and we want you to look your best.
6- Relax – The most important thing you can do is relax. We will make sure you look amazing in your photos, so don’t worry! If you’re uncomfortable, it will show, so just keep calm. We have everything broken down into small, easy steps so you can relax and have fun.
