If you’re like most women, you probably think of boudoir photography as a bit of a mystery. What happens in a session? What should you wear? How do you prepare for it? Fear not! In this blog post, we will demystify the boudoir photography process and give you some tips for making the most out of your session. So whether you’re a first-time client or an experienced pro, read on for some helpful advice.
The first thing to keep in mind is that your boudoir session should be all about you.
This is your time to feel sexy and confident, so don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. Wear something that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable, and choose a location that feels like home in the event your photographer doesn’t have a designated studio.
Another thing you may want to keep in mind during your planning stage is what you want to achieve before your session. Are you looking to boost your self-esteem? Capture a special moment in time? Or do you simply want beautiful photos to commemorate a milestone? Knowing what you want ahead of time will help you better prepare for your session.
Your photographer is also an important part of the equation, so be sure to choose someone who understands your vision and makes you feel comfortable. Trust is key in this type of photography, so be sure to ask your photographer any questions you have before the session.
Now that you’re armed with some helpful tips, it’s time to get ready for your boudoir session! Here are a few final things to keep in mind:
- Arrive freshly bathed with minimal makeup
- Make sure your clothes and accessories have been packed the evening before
- Bring a robe and comfortable shoes for after the session
- Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session to help flush toxins from your body
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the hours before your session
We hope these tips have helped you feel more prepared for your boudoir photography experience. At luxury boudoir studios, you can expect the highest level of service with some of the items being provided for you, but it’s always nice to be extra prepared.
