Tips To Enjoy Your Boudoir Session
- Feel Confident in Your Photographer
- Hang Out With Them, Talk Over the Phone, and Truly Get to Know Them!
- Invest in Self-Care Weeks in Advance
- Wax, Shave, Etc.
1. First Thing’s First – Feel Confident in Your Photographer.
Just because someone’s expensive doesn’t mean they’re the best. And just because someone’s prices are great doesn’t mean the quality of the photos will be.
Choosing the right photographer matters. You want to bond with them and feel comfortable at your body’s most vulnerable in front of the camera. Choose someone who’s excited just as much as you are!
2. Hang Out With Them, Talk Over the Phone, and Truly Get to Know Them!
Just because someone’s expensive doesn’t mean they’re the best. And just because someone’s prices are great doesn’t mean the quality of the photos will be.
Choosing the right photographer matters. You want to bond with them and feel comfortable at your body’s most vulnerable in front of the camera. Choose someone who’s excited just as much as you are!
If they are experienced and know what they are doing, they’ll know exactly how to make you feel comfortable. Don’t be afraid to ask to visit the studio. You’ll become familiar with the setting and be better prepared for your big day.
Together, you can plan for your boudoir and how you envision it. What type of boudoir style are you aiming for? What types of lingerie are you thinking about? Do you want to incorporate any accessories or props? Have these planned and ready in advance!
3. Invest in Self-Care Weeks in Advance.
Sure, you’ll have the chance to get pampered and glammed up around the day of your session. But in the weeks leading up, take out time for yourself.
Have a nice, long bath with a glass of wine. Start using body scrubs and face masks. Have a spa day! Or Spa Days. All in all, have a blast and start loving yourself!
4. Wax, Shave, Etc.
Truth be told, us ladies always feel better when we have our nails freshly manicured, with our silky smooth legs freshly waxed.
Do we usually have a chance to do these things with our busy schedules? NO! This is where a boudoir session comes in- you have all the excuse in the world to treat yourself!
You are about to get the HOTTEST photos of yourself to look at for years to come.
Yes, it’s going to take a little extra planning, and you might have to hand off the kids so that you can hop in the shower and do a full body shave before your session, but it’s worth it!
Now of course, shaving and waxing are a personal preference and completely optional, and if you are a free flowing gal who loves and accepts her body hair and does not need to do these things, by all means, skip that part!
However, all I ask is that you at minimum take care of the bottoms of your feet (this is the most commonly overlooked aspect, and can reduce the overall sexiness of photos, so don’t forget!)
Or have someone at the nail salon do this for you if you are okay with someone else touching the feet (which I know isn’t for everyone!) After viewing your images, you will thank me for it.
