Your Ultimate Boudoir Prep Guide

– Everything You Need to Know Before You Slay Your Session

Hey, babe!

So you booked a boudoir session (!!!) and you're probably feeling a delicious mix of excitement and nerves—that’s totally normal! Whether this is your first time or your fifth, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Think of this as your personal pep talk, packing list, and beauty checklist all rolled into one.

Let’s dive into how to prep like the queen you are:

💄 1. Pamper Yourself First

Your boudoir session is the perfect excuse to indulge in a little self-care. A few suggestions:


  • Hair removal: If you wax or shave, do it 1-2 days before your session to avoid irritation. Totally optional—your body, your rules!
  • Skin care: Hydrate, exfoliate, and moisturize leading up to your session for that glow. Avoid trying new products the week of, just in case.
  • Nails: Fingers and toes matter—your hands will be in the shots! Go with neutral tones or classic reds for timeless glam.


👙 2. What to Wear (or Not Wear 😉)


Bring 2-3 outfits that make you feel confident AF. This could be:

  • Lace lingerie sets
  • Bodysuits
  • Oversized button-downs or sweaters
  • High-waisted panties & a matching bra
  • A robe or sheer piece for layering
  • Or...just a sheet. (Yes, really. Some of the sexiest shots are the simplest.)


Not sure what flatters your body type? That’s where I come in. I’ll help guide you on outfit choices that will photograph beautifully and make you feel unstoppable.

📸 3. Day-Of Tips

  • Eat a light meal beforehand—no one feels sexy on an empty stomach or with a grumbly one.
  • Skip tight clothes and socks the morning of to avoid red marks on your skin.
  • Arrive about 10 minutes early to get comfy and chat before we start shooting.


💃 4. Mindset is Everything


I know you might be nervous—almost every client is. But hear this: you are beautiful right now, just as you are. You don’t need to lose 10 lbs or "look like a model." Boudoir is about celebrating your body and reclaiming your power.

I'll guide you through every pose, every look, and every mood. You’ll laugh, feel amazing, and walk away seeing yourself in a whole new light.

✨ Final Thoughts


You’ve made the bold choice to show up for yourself. That’s already something to be proud of. Now let’s turn up the music, pop a little bubbly, and make some spicy, empowering magic together.
