1. Pamper Yourself Ahead of Time

Taking some time to pamper yourself before your session can make a world of difference in how you feel and look. Here are a few simple ways to treat yourself:

  • Hydrate and Nourish: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session to keep your skin looking fresh and glowing. Eating balanced meals will also help you feel your best.

  • Skincare Routine: Stick to your regular skincare routine and consider exfoliating a day or two before to achieve smooth, radiant skin. Avoid trying any new products right before your session to prevent unexpected reactions. The last thing you'll want is a surprise allergic reaction rash.

  • Get Plenty of Rest: A good night's sleep will help you feel energized and ready to move your body.

  • Manicure and Pedicure: Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure to add that extra touch of polish to your look. Choose colors that complement your outfits and personal style. I personally love press-on nails. They take 10 minutes to apply, last weeks, and have me feeling like a babe. I love the Impress No Clue Nails.

  • Relax and De-stress: Find time to relax and do something you enjoy, whether it's taking a warm bath, practicing yoga, or reading a good book. A relaxed mind leads to natural, beautiful expressions during your session.

Remember, when you feel good on the inside, it truly shows on the outside!


2. Choose Outfits That Make You Feel Confident

Your wardrobe plays a big role in how you feel during your boudoir session. The key is to choose pieces that make you feel comfortable, confident, and authentically you. Here's how:

  • Shop Your Closet: You might be surprised by what you already own! Look for your favorite lingerie, a cozy sweater, a slinky dress, or even your partner's button-up shirt. Anything that makes you feel sexy and confident is perfect.

  • Consider Different Styles: Bring a variety of outfits to showcase different sides of your personality. Think delicate lace, bold colors, playful bodysuits, or over the top robes.

  • Accessorize: Don't forget about accessories! Statement jewelry, high heels, and stockings can add an extra something something to your look.

  • Comfort is Key: Choose outfits that fit well and allow you to move comfortably. When you're comfortable, it shows through in your photos.

  • Consult with Your Photographer: If you're unsure about what to bring, don't hesitate to reach out! I'm always here to help you plan the perfect wardrobe for your session.

The goal is to create a collection of images that reflect your unique beauty and personality, so choose pieces that make you feel like the incredible person you are.


3. Communicate and Trust Your Photographer

Building a rapport with your photographer is essential for a successful boudoir session. Here's how to establish open communication and trust:

  • Share Your Vision: Let me know what you're hoping to achieve with your boudoir session. Share any ideas, themes, or specific looks you have in mind. This helps me tailor the experience to your desires.

  • Discuss Comfort Levels: Talk openly about your comfort levels regarding poses, attire, and how revealing you want your images to be. Your comfort and consent are paramount throughout the entire process!

  • Ask Questions: No question is too small or silly! Whether you're curious about how to pose or what to expect during the session, feel free to ask. I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
