What Is a Boudoir Session Anyway?
First things first - what exactly is boudoir photography? In simple terms, it’s a style of portrait photography that captures you looking and feeling your absolute best. Think intimate, sensual, and super empowering photos that celebrate your unique beauty and confidence.

Getting Ready: How to Prepare for Your Boudoir Session
Preparation is key to feeling relaxed and confident during your shoot. Here are some tips to get you ready:
Choose Outfits That Make You Feel Good
Pick pieces that highlight your favorite features. Don’t stress about what’s “typical” boudoir wear. It’s all about what YOU love! Bring a mix of lingerie, casual clothes, or even something bold and unexpected.
Pamper Yourself
Schedule a mani-pedi, get your hair trimmed, or try a new skincare routine. Feeling fresh and polished can do wonders for your confidence.
Practice Posing
Try some poses in front of the mirror or scroll through Pinterest for inspiration. Don’t worry about being perfect - your photographer will guide you!
Hydrate and Rest
Drink plenty of water and get a good night’s sleep before your session. Your skin and energy will thank you.
Communicate Your Vision
Chat with your photographer about what you want to achieve. Whether it’s sultry, playful, or elegant, sharing your ideas helps create the perfect vibe.
Remember, this is your moment to shine. The more you prepare, the more you’ll enjoy the experience!
