Getting ready for your boudoir session and you don’t even know what to do. How do you prep? How do you make sure you’re read physically and mentally for your shoot.

Well, it doesn’t have to be hard. Here’s a few easy tips to make sure your boudoir session is everything you want and more!

For one, don’t wait. Don’t wait for a later date or a later weight to do your boudoir session. There’s no better time than NOW!

TIP #1

Take care of your skin. If you’re shaving make sure you don’t do it the night before in case of sensitivities. Also, if you’re getting a tan, make sure you do that a few days in advance so it doesn’t look streaky or orange and has had time to sink in.

MOISURIZE! I tell my client to bath in coconut butter. I am not joking. Having fresh, dewey skin is sexy, y’all! Plus in winter, you won’t feel self conscious when it’s dry.

Speaking of skin, come to the shoot wearing loose clothing. Tight clothes leave indentations on the skin. We don’t want marks on the skin that will be hard to photoshop out.

TIP #2

Don’t stress! Have fun! Bring your smile!

Yeah, that might sound cheesy, but it’s the #1 reason you’re here. A boudoir session is sutltry, sexy and empowering, but it’s also meant to be fun. Get in tune with your inner goddess, that bad ass bitch. Make a playlist, add all the Beyonce, Lizzo and N*Sync songs and we’ll play it during your session. We’ll get you pampered, get you some bubbly and all ready.

When it comes to posing know that I’ll guide you all the way from fingers to toes. Feel yourself, girl! There’s no judgement here! Dance, swish, hair flip, whatever you feel in the moment, go for it. We’re here for fun! Think of me as your wingwoman, hype woman, and best friend.

TIP #3

Bring extra outfits! Look, shit happens. And it’s good to have back ups in case a strap breaks, or you end up not loving that one number. Plus, in you’re anything like me, you just might change your mind between options C and option D when you get into the studio and get inspired to go a different route. And it’s totally OK!

Also, be bold! Be different! Boudoir sessions don’t always have to be lingerie! Sure, go shopping, find that sexy number that makes you feel like a million bucks, but also consider something different. Here’s some ideas!

AND! If you got some weird, crazy, awesome, edgy or nerdy idea, let me know and we’ll make it happen!

TIP #4

Bring props! Sexy heels make a look. Hubby’s golf clubs are sesxy to pose with. Jewelry, body chains, a lace mask? A necklace that means a lot to you and your significant other? Yes, please!

Props add personalization to your session and for the ladies that are a little unsure, it gives you all something to do and the focus is a little less on you but on the prop. ( I said a little less.)

TIP #5

Take it home! YES! Look, you came, you slayed, you conquered and now your shoot’s done, you get the photos… and that’s it?

Of course not! You deserve to enjoy these photos forever! Get an album, get that wall art, get the app! It’s a gift to you, from you, to be able to be reminded every day of your gorgeousness. All too often, we get photos we love, that fun selfie for example, and it just sits on our camera roll getting buried instead of getting enjoyed.

When you feel down, open that album. When you feel a little less than 100% go through the app. Wake up feeling blah? Go walk in your closet and see yourself shine! What a way to start your day!
