Hey Gorgeous!
I want you to have the most incredible experience from the moment we start chatting and feel amazing about yourself for years and years after! Boudoir is usually seen as something done for a significant other BUT, it can also be done for you! You deserve to feel confident about your session, so this guide will help you fully prepare yourself that way when it's time for your session we can just focus on making you look and feel your best!
The Boudoir process:
I. Book the date.
You're going to want to book at least a couple weeks out to give yourself time to shop for outfits.
II. Start prepping.
This is when you start shopping, get hair touch ups, get your nails done, etc. Starting earlier will relieve the stress of not feeling fully prepared.
III. Deliver memories.
The best part! Your session is all about relaxing and letting me guide you through the process. You just show up ready to go and I will do the rest.
III. Deliver your gallery.
Within 2 weeks you'll get to view and choose all your images. After choosing you'll receive a mobile app. This is the part where you'll say "Who is she?!?!"
What to wear?
Maybe you have something in your closet or you what the newest styles... most important thing is the you're comfortable and feel beautiful! When you feel your best, you'll look your best! So don't feel like you have to wear something just because someone else did, be true to yourself.
Lingerie
Lingerie is the typical go to! This can be a bra and panty set, teddies or bodysuits, corsets, etc. I normally would say avoid the babydoll style lingerie because it hides your body, but of course there's always exceptions! My favorite, the style that look killer on every body type is the Teddie style!
Keep it simple
You know your favorite pair of jeans, the ones that make your booty look amazing? Throw a bralette on and you've got yourself a boudoir outfit! Boudoir doesn't always have to be lingerie and this is a great way to get some sexy photos with a more casual outfit! Some other thing you might not think of are: A white tee, a significant others button up, or even a silky robe! So while you're thinking of what to wear, maybe peak at some of the things already in your closet!
Acessories + Props
This is the fun part but definitely optional! Jewelry, heels, sex-toys, fish net stockings, pasties, garter belts, etc. You could also choose to bring props like strawberries, honey, or lipstick!
Preparing: 1 week before
- Start drinking lots of water to have clear, glowing skin
- Wax: You want to do this early to avoid and bumps and redness
- Get your eyebrows cleaned up or do it at home
- If you need a hair cut or color touch-up, make sure you have a few days before your session to make sure you're happy with it
- Schedule hair and makeup if you're getting it professionally done
- Get a manicure + pedicure! Your hands especially will be in most pictures and you definitely will a flawless finish. Avoid neon colors as we don't want your nails to steal the show.
- Try to stay out of the sun as much as possible to avoid getting a sunburn or blotchy skin
- Please- DO NOT Spray tan! It can cause your skin to have more of an orange pigment in the photos. Natural is the best!
- Avoid excessive salt and alcohol if you're worried about retaining water
- Try on all of your outfits (even the old ones) to make sure they fit correctly. Remove all tag and labels. Steam or iron as needed and hang your outfits properly to bring with you
Prepping: 1 Day before
- Have what I call an everything shower: Shave, wash your face, exfoliate, and moisturize your face and body after. Avoid any new products!
- Get everything you're bringing ready so that the morning of your session you're completely relaxed and ready to go
- Double check how long the drive is so you can plan when you need to leave
- Relax and get a good night sleep so you can wake up refreshed
Session Day!
- Use clear deodorant
- Wear loose clothing. Tight bras, panties, and socks can leave indents on the skin that can take hours to disappear.
- Eat something light but filling before you leave the house
- Either get your hair and makeup done or do it yourself. Bring lipstick to touchup your lips as needed
- Most importantly... Breathe + relax. It's just me! We can play music, laugh, dance, and just talk like old friends! I promise it's not as scary as it seems. So just come ready to enjoy your session!
Okay girl...
Hopefully if you're reading this you've already decide to book your very own session! If not... what are you waiting for girlfriend? There's no better time than the present! Either way I seriously cannot wait to meet you and be the hype girl you need! See you soon beautiful!
xoxo, Brooke
