Boudoir Session Essentials 101

Let’s talk prep! When you’re heading to your boudoir shoot, comfort is your best friend. Slip into some loose-fitting clothes that won’t leave marks on your skin. Think soft, cozy sweatpants and a comfy top – bra is optional 😉 but if you choose to wear one, opt for a loose-fitting sports bra that won’t leave a mark.

Before you head out, give yourself some TLC. Moisturize your skin to get that gorgeous glow. Wash your hair the night before so it’s clean and dry the morning of your session. If you’re planning any hair removal, do it a day or two before to avoid irritation.

And hey, treat yourself to a mani-pedi if you’re feeling extra fancy. you’ll thank yourself when you see those close-up shots of your hands and feet.

Packing Your Boudoir Session Essentials – Lingerie, heels & more

Alright, ladies, it’s time to pack for your boudoir photoshoot! Let’s dive into the boudoir session essentials you’ll need to bring to make your session absolutely unforgettable.

Lingerie Lowdown

Now for the fun part – your lingerie! Pack a variety of styles to mix things up. Bring that lacy bra and panty set that makes you feel like a million bucks, but don’t stop there. Throw in a bodysuit, some thigh-highs, and maybe even a corset if you’re feeling daring. Pro tip: dark colors tend to be more slimming, while light hues can add volume.

Heels, Honey

Don’t forget those killer heels! Pack your favorite pair (or two) that make your legs look miles long. If you’re not used to sky-high stilettos, no worries – we offer a pair or two in our studio closet. Otherwise, a pair of kitten heels can be just as sexy. Just make sure they’re clean and scuff-free.

Accessorize, Baby

Jewelry can add that perfect finishing touch. Bring alone some statement pieces like chandelier earrings or a chunky necklace. But remember, sometimes less is more – a simple pair of studs can be just as alluring.

Time to feel confident and comfortable

So there you have it – everything you need to rock your boudoir session! Remember, the key is feeling comfortable and confident. Wear comfy clothes to the studio, then slip into those sexy undies and killer heels you picked out.

Don’t forget a few special accessories to make you feel like a total bombshell. Most importantly, bring your amazing self and get ready to shine! This experience is all about celebrating YOU!
