Boudoir FAQ: Everything You’re Dying to Ask (But Might Be a Little Shy to Say Out Loud)Â
Of course! I definitely understand wanting to have someone around for comfort/safety. I do recommend bringing a friend along as they’re typically really encouraging and help make the session more fun and enjoyable for you. Bring a cheerleader NOT a critic!
Boudoir photography is intimate in nature, and I understand that not everyone wants their photos publicly shared. Any photos that are shared on my website or social media, models have granted permission. You'll receive your edited photos through Dropbox and ONLY you will have access to that folder.Â
I will guide you through your entire session, showing you the poses, explaining them, and gently moving you into position.. My goal is to help you look and feel like the best version of yourself. Â
Definitely NOT! You'll never have to pose in a position or in a way that is uncomfortable for you. I will encourage you to push past your comfort levels as some of the favorite shots from our sessions are the ones where they went just a little further than their expected comfort levels.Â
Glad you asked. I've made a bullet point list from a variety of sources to help you. In no particular order.
Good night sleep is best and wake up with plenty of time to get ready
Do not wear tight fitting clothes to the location. Either a strapless bra or no bra when travelling to location
Shave the night before day of the shoot NOT the morning of, the camera and light pick up the skin irritation
Never dye her hair, use a tanning bed, or spray tan the day before a photo shoot
Cut all tags and labels off your underwear — both price tags and washing labels
Remove stickers from the bottom of shoes
Stay well hydrated
Try practicing posing in front of a mirror at home
Eat something. Many models wont eat before a shoot to help with "flatter tummy." At least have a snack or something to keep your blood sugar up
Pack the outfits you feel confident, sexy and comfortable in
Bring or send reference photos that match the vibe or poses you're aiming for
Stretching a little beforehand so you're loose
Take deep breathes in between poses
Try on any clothes in advance and make sure everything fits and you have the most appropriate undergarments if you are wearing clothes
Pack all outfits with accessories separately (jewelry, shoes, etc.)
Have a written agenda of the order you plan to wear outfits and any thing else that will change for each shot, such as hairstyles
Makeup should be slightly heavier than everyday day wear
If you are doing a rain or tub shoot, bring a towel and a bag for wet clothes
