How to Prepare for Your Boudoir Photoshoot

Boudoir photography is all about confidence, self-expression, and celebrating your beauty. To ensure you have the best experience, here’s everything you need to know about preparing for your session.

1. Self-Care Before Your Session

  • Hydrate & Moisturize – Glowing skin starts from within! Drink plenty of water and moisturize for a smooth, radiant look.

  • Get Plenty of Rest – A good night’s sleep helps you feel and look refreshed.

  • Avoid Alcohol & Salty Foods – These can cause bloating and puffiness, so stick to light, fresh meals before your shoot.

2. Hair & Makeup

  • Professional Hair & Makeup – If included in your session, arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and dry hair for the best results.

  • Waxing & Shaving – If you wax, schedule it at least 48 hours in advance to avoid redness. Shaving should be done the night before to prevent irritation.

  • Nails Matter – Your hands and feet will be in the photos, so make sure your nails are clean and polished (or neatly trimmed).

3. What to Bring

  • Lingerie That Makes You Feel Amazing – Choose pieces that highlight your favorite features. Bodysuits, lace bras, and high-waisted underwear are all flattering options.

  • Accessories & Layering Pieces – Think robes, stockings, garter belts, and heels to add variety to your looks.

  • Jewelry & Personal Touches – Delicate necklaces, statement earrings, or even your partner’s shirt can add a personal touch.

  • Confidence & An Open Mind – The most beautiful thing you can bring is your confidence. Trust the process, relax, and enjoy the experience.

4. What to Wear to the Studio

  • Arrive in loose clothing to avoid marks on your skin. A cozy robe or button-up shirt is ideal.

5. The Day of Your Shoot

  • Eat a Light Meal – You want energy without feeling sluggish.

  • Stretch & Breathe – Boudoir posing is a little like yoga—some stretching beforehand helps!
