Preparing for Your Boudoir Experience
So you’re thinking about booking that appointment, CONGRATULATIONS you’re more brave than you think you are. Many women wish of doing this but can’t bring themselves to do it out of fear, self-doubt, or other reasons. You will not regret this decision, you’re beautiful and you deserve to believe it to the fullest!
You might be wondering how you prepare for this experience but let me start with what you do NOT need to do instead.
You DO NOT need to lose any weight, you are gorgeous and ‘boudoir ready’ at the weight you’re at
You DO NOT need a spray tan. Spray tans can make you look orange, unevenly colored, they can smear on your clothes, etc. You’re skin will look great in the pictures without that hassle.
You DO NOT need to compare yourself to models online. I invite you to use posts online for pose and wardrobe inspiration but don’t feel like your body has to match theirs or become discouraged in any way by comparing. We are going to find the most flattering poses for your body.
Now, we can get into what you do need to focus on to prepare for this experience in order to make the most out of it. I hope you’re getting excited (:
RELAX. This is supposed to be a fun and empowering experience whether you’re doing it for yourself or your spouse. Relax and know you are in great hands, if you have any questions leading up to your appointment I’m just a message away!
Pick out some outfits you feel great in. Make sure you try them on before you get here. Remember you get two pieces from the client closet but you will want to have more options. Don’t feel pressured to buy all new pieces, I’ve shot some amazing photos with plain bras and undies, old t-shirts, and even old sports jerseys.
Leading up to the shoot and the day of make sure you drink lots of water. Being hydrated makes you feel better, helps your skin, and it will help after your appointment is over.
Stretching is also very important. We will be doing a lot of poses and your body might not be used to moving in certain positions. stretching helps loosen up your muscles which will help you be more comfortable while posing.
You’re going to do great. When you get here you will have you hair and makeup professionally done, we’ll have your choice of drinks and snacks, and your choice of music because this day is all about you! I will assist you with poses and be your hype girl along the way.
I’m so excited to see you behind the lens.
