Behind the Scenes of a Boudoir Photoshoot

What Can You Expect From Your First Session? Let me take you on a journey behind the scenes of a boudoir photoshoot!

Before your session even begins, we will start with a consultation. This is where we go over what your vision is. Are there any props you want to include? Are we celebrating a milestone? You don’t need any excuse to celebrate yourself at anytime but some brides have their sessions and gift an album to their fiancés. We will talk about anything we want to highlight. What you love about your body and what you might want to downplay. I plan all of my posing customized to each client. Everyone is different!

Also during your consult, we will go over consent. Consent is super important to me. My number one priority is your comfort. We will talk about how spicy you want your session to be.

We will also talk about outfit choices. In our studio, we offer a client closet, but sometimes you want to wear something you have already and that’s great! Whatever makes you feel the best is what we will do!

We’ll keep in contact until your session. Behind the scenes of your boudoir photoshoot happens a lot prior to your session. A majority of my clients book out about 3-6 months and take advantage of our in house payment plans. We can do whatever makes its financially easier for you to have your dream session!

Session Day is Here!

*Insert happy dance* Yay! Your session is today! You will come to our studio with clean, dry hair ready to be styled by our talented artists. Come with just moisturizer on your skin. I recommend drinking lots of water prior to so your skin is ready for makeup application. Once you sit in our cozy salon chair, you can choose a drink and some light snacks while you get glammed! Our makeup artist will reach out prior to your session to see what your inspiration is and what skin type you have.

After you’re glammed up and feeling like a million dollars, we will take a trip to the client closet. We’ll go over any outfits you wanna try as well as body jewelry. Once I see you in person, I will help style you in what will look best for your body and skin tone. Our client closet is pretty expansive so you can try whatever your heart’s desire.

Once we have your outfits picked out, more fun begins! We will start with expert posing by yours truly. I will be guiding you every step of the way. I will do the poses with you but you have to trust me. Some poses you might be thinking “this looks insane”! Trust the process! We’ll be playing music and all those nerves will be left in the dust once we start. A truly fun experience that has no judgement. Just you and me having fun!

Behind The Scenes of your Boudoir Photoshoot

After Your Session

Once we’re finished with your session I get straight to work on editing! We’ll go over what happens next and when you can expect your photos. If you are able to, you can go out to lunch next door to my studio and grab a bite and a drink and just bask in the full confidence you have. About 2 hours later, you will come back to the studio to our personal reveal area. All of your photos will be retouched delicately and put up on a slideshow on the big screen! Grab a drink and sit back and just revel in yourself. I will design any of your products you ordered and I will send you your digital files right then and there! What an amazing day!
