You have booked your session, and now not sure what to do? This is your guide to prepare and shop for an amazing boudoir session!
The best part of this adventure is the prep and shopping that comes along with a boudoir experience! Shopping for lingerie can be intimidating and scary, but it does not have to be!
The biggest piece of advice I can give you.... Shop for what YOU like! Not what your significant other likes..not your best friend..not anyone BUT YOU! With that being said, you may not completely know WHAT you like where lingerie is concerned, and that is okay!!! That is where I come into help!
First, IF you ever need feedback or help with shopping please remember that my line is ALWAYS open, and I will give feedback and advice if ever needed!
Second, EXPLORE! Purchase more than one style and try things that catch your eye. Worst comes to worse, you discover you do not like that style on you. That is where the fun lies in the preparation. You can experiment and find what works for you and mkes you feel sexy!
IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT; THEN WE DO NOT WEAR IT! Rule of thumb, because if you do not feel good in something then you will be in your head the whole shoot and hate the photos. My job is to make sure you love your experience and your images, and an outfit that makes you feel less than badass just won't do.
PLACES TO SHOP:::: Adore Me, SHEIN, Fashion Nova, Yandy, Torrid, Fenty, Amazon (always check sizing charts). If you happen to catch a sale at Victoria Secret, by all means, but I do not recommend letting them size you because they are usually wrong. Especially where titties are concerned!!
Leading Up to Your Session
DO
- Drink Water - HYDRATE B
- Stretch - You think I'm kidding; you will be sore the next day!!
- Shave 24-48hrs before your session, and exfoliate to make sure you avoid bumps. IF you are a wax kind of gal, 2-3 days PRIOR to your session to avoid in red rash during your shoot
- Pack your session bag ahead of time! You are bound to forget important things, so make sure it is all together from outfits to shoes to props!!
- Day before your session, PAMPER yourself! Full body exfoliation, manicure, pedicure; whatever makes you feel amazing! Trust that it makes a difference the day of!
- SKIP THE SPRAY TAN
DON'T
- NO SPRAY TANS - if you do not normally do it-- then don't! It will be one extra step you do not need, I promise to never let you look pale
- DON’T DIET– You do NOT need too change your eating habits or go on a diet just because you have a boudoir photoshoot scheduled!!
- DON'T binge online boudoir content! Do NOT scour the internet looking at boudoir for days because you will get in your head and be flooded with all things boudoir! I have completely got your back! (IF you have pose ideas, I am always game, but do not think you have to supply all the poses and things)
- DON'T sike yourself out! I know it can be nerve wracking an intimidating but I promise it is so much fun and so so worth it!
Day Of Your Session
- Light Breakfast– Same rules apply to us as it does getting a tattoo! Eat a light breakfast to fill you up to keep your sugar levels solid, because I have had clients get light-headed because they didn’t eat because they did not want to “bloat”! SO EAT!!
- Loose Clothes- PLEASE PLEASE wear loose clothes! This avoids indentations and lines on your body that will be seen during your session!
- Makeup- If you are indulging in our in house hair and makeup offered with certain packages, please show up clean faced (skincare is okay, just no makeup products) with dry hair! It will give my artist the best base to work with for your session !
- HYDRATE– Drink some water, and stay hydrated!!
- RELAX - DO not panic or freak out, I promise it is going to be so much fun and you will wonder why you were ever nervous!!
