A NOTE ABOUT THIS GUIDE
I'm so excited you're thinking about doing a boudoir session! They are a great gift to give but an even better gift to yourself. Blush sessions can be a bit intimidating, I know, I've been in front of the camera too. The first time I ever experienced boudoir was when I planned a session for my future husband. I understand how awkward it can feel.
I will be there with you every step of the way. From helping you pick out outfits to guiding you into poses that flatter your body type. I want to hear about the things you love about your body and the things you would rather not focus on. I want to be your biggest cheerleader and a friend that will listen. Let's do this together.
Once you've decided to book with me you will choose the collection that works best for you. We will get your contract and invoice written up and signed. Then we can start planning for your session! I will send over a Pinterest board that will help you plan your outfits. It gives some ideas of what works and doesn't work depending on your style. I also have a list of places that are great for shopping if you decide to purchase some new lingerie!
When you arrive you can expect me to shoot some behind the scenes footage for your highlight video if you decided to purchase one. You will lay all of your outfits out and we will talk a little bit about what you love and don't love about your body. Finally, we will begin to photograph you! I promise it'll be fun!

Let's talk about things that you can do to prepare for your boudoir session so you are ready to flaunt what your mama gave ya!
1. Plan your outfits. Try them on, make sure to move around in them. Pick outfits that compliment your body type. Keep them on hangers so they aren't wrinkled! Click HERE for outfit ideas.
2. Pay attention to the little details. Make sure to manicure your nails and toes. Shave and moisturize. Get a hair touch up in your need your roots done. Bring accessories that compliment your outfits.
3. Take care of your body. Make sure to eat and stay hydrated. Plan your session around that time of the month so you're feeling your best.
4. Not the best idea. Don't try a new makeup look sometimes that can break a session. Don't drastically change your hair. Don't wear tight clothing on the way to your session this can cause indentations on the skin. Don't fake tan. No tanning lotions, gels, or sprays. Additional editing can become costly if there are runs or smudges.
5. Practice. It's okay to practice your poses and smile in the mirror. Have fun with it!
6. Remember not all boudoir photographers are equal. Do your research and read reviews.
