💋 How to Prepare for Your Boudoir Photoshoot
A boudoir session is all about celebrating you — your confidence, your story, and your beauty exactly as you are. Whether this is your first time or your fifth, here are a few tips to help you feel your best and make the most of your session:
1. Choose Outfits That Make You Feel Amazing
Bring pieces that make you feel confident — not just what you think you “should” wear. Think lace, satin, oversized shirts, or even something personal like your partner’s favorite tee. Variety helps: one bold, one soft, and one casual look often creates the perfect mix.
2. Prep Your Skin, But Don’t Stress It
Hydrate well the day before and moisturize your skin the morning of your shoot. Avoid sunburns, spray tans, or trying new products right before — natural, healthy skin photographs beautifully.
3. Hair & Makeup
Professional hair and makeup can elevate your confidence and your photos. Go for a look that feels like you, just a bit enhanced. Bring touch-up items like lip gloss or powder in case you want a quick refresh mid-session.
4. Rest and Hydrate
A good night’s sleep and plenty of water will make a world of difference in your glow and energy. Boudoir shoots can be surprisingly physical — lots of posing and arching — so feeling rested helps you move comfortably.
5. Bring Personal Touches
Jewelry, a meaningful item, or a favorite scent can make the experience feel intimate and authentic. This session is about capturing you, not perfection.
6. Mindset Is Everything
You don’t need to “look a certain way” to do boudoir — confidence is what makes your photos powerful. Trust your photographer, breathe deeply, and remember this is about celebrating yourself.
7. The Day Of
Eat something light, stretch, and arrive with a playlist or energy that makes you feel empowered. The best photos come from when you’re relaxed and having fun — so let go, laugh, and enjoy every second.
✨ Final Tip: Boudoir is for everybody and every story. Show up as you are, and let your session remind you just how magnetic, strong, and beautiful you’ve always been.
