How to Prepare for Your Boudoir Photoshoot: Tips for a Confident & Empowering Experence

Booking a boudoir photoshoot is an exciting step toward embracing your confidence and celebrating your unique beauty. Whether you’re doing this for yourself or as a gift for a partner, preparation is key to making the most of your experience. Here’s everything you need to know to look and feel your best for your session.

1. What to Wear: Outfits That Make You Feel Amazing

Your wardrobe choices should reflect your personality, flatter your body, and make you feel empowered. Here are some suggestions:

• Lingerie That Fits Well – Choose pieces that accentuate your best features and provide good support. Bodysuits, lace bralettes, garters, and classic bra-and-panty sets are always a great choice.
• Casual Sexy – You don’t have to wear lingerie! A cozy oversized sweater, a silky robe, a fitted t-shirt, or even just sheets can create an intimate, alluring look.
• Accessories Matter – Bring thigh-high stockings, statement jewelry, heels, or even a hat to add variety to your shots.
• Bring Options – Pack 3-5 different outfits so we can mix and match styles during the shoot.

2. Skincare & Beauty Prep

While we don’t provide hair and makeup services at this time, you can still ensure you’re camera-ready with these simple steps:

• Hydrate & Moisturize – Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your shoot, and apply lotion to keep your skin glowing.
• Avoid New Skincare Treatments – Stick to your regular skincare routine to prevent unexpected breakouts or reactions.
• Shave or Wax (If You Choose To) – If you remove body hair, do so a day or two before the shoot to avoid irritation.
• Hands & Feet Matter – A fresh manicure and pedicure (even if simple and natural) help polish your look.

3. Hair & Makeup Tips

Since we don’t provide hair and makeup services, we recommend doing your own or hiring a professional. Here’s how to get the best results:

• Makeup: Go for a slightly bolder version of your everyday look. A defined eye, well-groomed brows, and a soft lip color photograph beautifully.
• Hair: Soft curls, tousled waves, or a sleek style work best. Avoid too much hairspray—natural movement adds dimension in photos.
• Practice Beforehand: If you’re doing your own makeup, test it out ahead of time to ensure you love the look.

4. The Night Before: Final Prep Checklist

• Get Plenty of Sleep – Rested eyes and a fresh face make a big difference in photos.
• Avoid Alcohol & Salty Foods – These can cause bloating and puffiness.
• Pack Your Bag – Include all your outfits, accessories, heels, and any personal items you want in your shoot.
• Stretch & Relax – Boudoir posing involves arching and stretching, so light yoga or simple stretches can help your body feel more fluid.

5. What to Expect on Shoot Day

When you arrive at the studio, we’ll chat for a few minutes to go over your outfits and comfort level. You do not need to know how to pose—I will guide you every step of the way! The goal is to help you feel confident, relaxed, and empowered.

Most importantly, have fun! Boudoir is about celebrating you, exactly as you are. No matter your shape, age, or experience, you deserve to feel incredible.
