How should I prepare for my Boudoir Photoshoot?

All my clients receive a comprehensive Prep Guide on how to prepare for their photoshoot experience. These are the things you need to do to look (and feel!) your best on the day of your Boudoir Session:

• STRETCH: Boudoir Sessions are equivalent to yoga class. The more bendy you are, the easier this will be.

• HYDRATE: Drinking lots of water helps make you more flexible too, and it's going to reduce bloating and clear up your skin.

• MOISTURIZE: your skin will look amazing in photos!

• TRY everything on before your session! Very important!

• SELECT your favorite outfits and accessories

• CUT OUT all tags from your clothing options including the care instructions inside the garment (little white tags)

• AVOID facials or waxing for 1-2 days before your session as they can cause redness or blotchiness.

• If you need to get your hair touched up, your nails done, or have any hair removal services done, make sure you DO it a few days prior to your session so everything has time to "settle" and you have a little wiggle room should things need to be fixed. I DON’T recommend trying new hairstyles or colors, getting new piercings or tattoos immediately before your session.

• TREAT yourself to a mani-pedi that matches your clothing colors and styles (we recommend classic colors or French tips for a polished look)

• DO NOT USE SPRAY TANS OR TANNING BEDS. We do not mess around with this policy because even the best spray tans could stain our very expensive furniture or client wardrobe, and they simply do not photograph well. If you arrive with a spray tan you may be denied access to our Client Closet and/or your session may be CANCELLED. Be careful being in the sun before your session.

• CONSIDER getting out of your comfort zone! This is YOUR time to be YOU!

• DON’T be afraid to have fun!!
