Planning Your Outfits For Your Boudoir Session
During your planning process you and I have will have what we call a prep and design phone call. I will walk you through and help you pick out the outfits that is not only is right for your body but also your style and personality. We are all different and have our own unique definition of beautiful and sexy. Our goals is to choose outfits that make you feel sexy and confident. Items to consider are lingerie, bodysuits, robes, or other pieces that flatter your body type and highlight your best features. I will help you plan a variety of outfits and accessories to mix and match during the shoot.
SKIN CARE FOR THE WIN!
Get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, and moisturize your skin to ensure it looks its best. Avoid getting a spray tan or trying any new skincare treatments right before the shoot, as this could cause skin irritation or uneven coloring. Having a hydrating facial is a great way to pamper yourself before your session.
Hair and Makeup
Hair and makeup is part of your experience here. I have a team of professional hair and makeup artist to help you look and feel your best. We talked about makeup above and prepping your skin, but what can you do for your hair? I recommend washing and blow dry out the night before or morning of if you plan to wash before your session. Get a little trim the week before to help you cut off any dead ends. Do you have the unplanned ombre hair? If it is not intentional, I highly recommend a color touch up about 1 week before your session.
But what if my hair is curly? I love my curls but I live in Florida. That is simple. My girls are AMAZING when it comes to helping you rock those natural curls.
Relax and Have Fun!
Remember that I am there to make you feel comfortable and confident. You will have a blast. I promise you. After all I am known for my crazy and silly stories. Take deep breaths, we will listen to your favorite music, and remember that this is an opportunity to celebrate your body and embrace your sexuality.
Final Thoughts!
Overall, preparing for your boudoir session involves taking care of your body and mind to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. This is more than a photo session. This is an experience you will remember for many years to come. Remember that this is a chance to celebrate yourself and embrace your sexuality, so have fun and enjoy the experience!
