Luxury Boudoir Photoshoot

Our luxury boudoir photoshoot is designed specifically for you, taking into account your personal style and comfort. We ensure a clean, serene, and secure environment, appreciated by many of our clients. As part of the boudoir package, we offer professional hair and makeup services to ensure you look and feel incredible. While our stylist works on enhancing your beauty, you can enjoy a glass of Prosecco (in moderation) and unwind to your favorite music. Take your time to fully relax and feel comfortable throughout the experience.

Before your boudoir photoshoot, we'll have a conversation to determine your preferences for the photography style, hair, and makeup. We'll also address any questions you may have. I'll inquire about your desired outcomes from this experience and how you would like to showcase your images. While it is common for women to bring lingerie to a boudoir photoshoot, it is not mandatory. Boudoir photography encompasses a wide range of styles, and we encourage you to explore PINTEREST and INSTAGRAM for inspiration. For additional information on wardrobe selection, you can find more details here.

Once you have finalized the schedule for your upcoming photoshoot, you can expect to receive a comprehensive set of instructions that will walk you through the necessary preparations for your boudoir session. Our Lingerie Guide has been specifically crafted to assist you in selecting the perfect attire for your boudoir photoshoot. Furthermore, our Prep Guide contains vital information covering various aspects such as hair, skin, nails, tanning, accessories, and waxing. It's important to remember that indulging in a luxurious boudoir photoshoot is essentially a valuable investment in yourself. The more effort and thought you put into your session, the greater the rewards and satisfaction you will reap from the entire experience. Before you dive into the process, we encourage you to take a moment and hear directly from our clients, as they share their firsthand accounts and reflections on their own remarkable experiences.

Boudoir Preparation Guide

SKIN MATTERS

TANNING: We recommend that you avoid tanning all together. If you must, we recommend that you abstain for one week prior to your boudoir session. Tanning dries out the skin, creates uneven skin tones, while some areas that are left completely untanned. If you are worried about your pale skin, please trust me on this...pale skin always photography beautifully. Look through magazines or at fine art portraiture, you will see very natural looking skin tones. Besides, it's always possible to add warm tones in the editing process. So don't worry about looking too pale.

SPRAY TANNING AND LOTIONS: Ugh, our least favorite tanning method! Please avoid!! This is the most unnatural looking skin tone. Your skin will take on an orange appearance and is not flattering. Furthermore, tanning lotion tends absorb unevenly making some areas appear darker or lighter, especially around hands and feet.

SUN BATHING: Avoid being out in the sun for at least a week prior to your session. Sun bathing is more likely to turn your skin red, especially your face and chest, while the rest of you may tan. Sun bathing dries out your skin and if you burn, it might peel. Lastly, sun bathing leaves tanning lines that are extremely hard to correct even with editing. Please use sunscreen or avoid the sun all together.


Below is an example of a client who tans, notice the buttocks where some skin didn't get tanned and how unnatural the skin color looks.

Preparing For A Boudoir Session

WAXING AND SHAVING: When it comes to waxing, be sure you give your skin 3-5 days to heal before your boudoir session. Your skin is likely to be red or irritated and will need a few days to "rest." As far as shaving goes, best to shave the night before for the same reasons. Be sure to use a new blade for the closest shave possible.

EXFOLIATING: This can be done the night before or the day of you session. Exfoliating removes dead cells (dullness) from the surface of your skin and leaves it more radiant and youthful. We recommend using a sugar scrub. Salt scrubs can dry out the skin and cause irritation to newly shaved areas.

MOISTURIZING: Find and use a good moisturizer for your skin, preferably one without paraffins and use it daily. Don't forget to moisturize the bottoms of your feet! Apply immediately after a shower or bath to seal in that moisture. Avoid baby oil, it's made from crude oil and has no healing properties to nourish and hydrate your skin. 

HYDRATION: Staying hydrated will go a long way in keeping your skin looking it's best. Set a goal for yourself, drink 64oz of water per day starting 1 week prior to your boudoir session.

AVOID ALCOHOL: Alcohol dehydrates and depletes the skin of essential nutrients, leaving it dull looking. Heavy alcohol consumption should be avoided the night before your session without a doubt. No hangovers here!


Notice the difference!! This model has pale skin, no redness, tan lines, or orange skin. Just radiant glowing skin.

Preparation Is In The Details

MANI & PEDI: You will want your hands and feet to look their best as well. We strongly recommend treating yourself to a manicure and pedicure a day or so before your session. When choosing colors, stick to neutral or get a french manicure. You don't want your nails to be the first thing you see in a photograph, distracting the viewer's eye! Having your nails manicured makes your photographs look "polished." Lol, play on words. Be sure your polish isn't chipping off, it's nearly impossible and very time consuming to try and fix in photoshop.

JEWELRY: Have your jewelry cleaned prior to your session, you want them to sparkle! We don't recommend wearing a ton of jewelry, keep in simple and classy. This includes; earrings and necklaces. Unless you have a statement piece and want to really showcase it.

Putting Your Best Face Forward

FACIALS: Facials are great, but avoid getting one too close to your session. If you've never had one, this isn't the time to experiment; facials can cause your skin to breakout. Avoid buying new face products too close to your session. Use gentle cleansers that won't cause dryness or irritation. Moisturize daily to keep your skin looking youthful. Exfoliate your face a few days before your session, we love Bobby Brown's Buffing Grains for face. If you want to mask, we recommend using rose clay. Rose clay is very gentle, good for all skin types (especially mature, aging skin). It will leave your skin feeling soft and hydrated without causing irritation. 

BROWS: If waxing your brows do so about a week before your session to allow time for the skin to heal. Threading is an alternative to waxing  and is more gentle on the skin. Manicured eye brows always look best.

LIPS: Keep those lips hydrated by drinking plenty of water! Sugar lip scrubs are also good for removing dead skin from your lips while providing moisturizing properties. Again, look for products made without paraffins. Use a good lip balm to keep those lips hydrated and protected from the elements.

Empowering Women Through Boudoir Photography

How exactly does boudoir photography empower women?

Empowering women through boudoir photography is achieved by creating space that allows a woman the freedom to express herself without judgement or criticism of others. It's achieved by building trust between client and photographer, by letting go insecurities (or at least setting them aside), and by allowing one's self to be vulnerable. There is power and beauty in being vulnerable, because it opens the door for new experiences. The word empowered means; having the knowledge, confidence, means, and ability to do things or make decisions for one's self. 


Taking the fear out of boudoir photography

Have you ever felt paralyzed by fear?  Unable to make a decision? Perhaps you make decisions out of fear? Fear leaves you feeling powerless,  and is like quicksand; it prevents you from having new experiences. So, how do you move passed fear? Fear alone can be your worse enemy. Often times, what you "imagine" is worse than the actual experience you fear.  As a child, I was terrified of swimming. At first, putting my feet in the water terrified me.  I had to warm up to the idea of going all in lol.  I would hold on to anything or anyone as if my life depended on it (and it probably did), scared to death of letting go. But once I saw how much fun everyone else was having (except me), I decided to take a leap of faith, and I never looked back.

The gift of boudoir photography

Empowering women through boudoir photography is one of the best gift I can give my clients! To see her open up like a delicate flower; timid and shy at first, then becoming more and more confident throughout their boudoir experience is exciting for me.  Boudoir builds confidence, it's a simple fact. Our boudoir session begins with a glass of champagne and music, while our professional stylist applies makeup and styles  hair. We give our clients plenty of time to relax, settle in and get comfortable before the photo session begins.

Boudoir builds confidence!

An article of clothing or lingerie can make a women feel confident and self assured, or insecure and self conscious. One mistake women make when selecting wardrobe is not trying it on before their boudoir photoshoot. Ladies, LOVE the garments you bring to your session! I've created a lingerie guide that clients receive once they've booked their boudoir photoshoot. I have also written a few blog posts about wardrobe, you can read them here: Boudoir Photoshoot Wardrobe Ideas, and Boudoir Lingerie Shopping Guide. Starting a Pinterest board for ideas and inspiration as well as Instagram to get inspired.

"The sexiest thing a woman can wear is a smile"

So many women feel insecure about posing when it comes to boudoir photography. One of the ways I empower my client is by demonstrating each pose first. I show my clients what each pose looks like, then it's their turn! When posing my clients, I pay particular attention to hands, feet, arms, legs, eyes, lips, lighting, wardrobe, etc.  Often times my clients will say "I don't know how to look sexy." Sexiness has more to do with confidence then anything else. I love this quote; "The sexiest thing a woman can wear is a smile." It's true! Check out this article I wrote: "BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOOK SEXY"
