How To Prepare For Your Boudoir Session
If you are reading this blog I’m assuming you have penciled in time for yourself and your Boudoir session is just around the corner! I’m so excited to be a part of this journey of celebrating your body. Let’s chat about how you can prepare on the days leading up!
While this is a given but yet might seem the most challenging to achieve - try not to stress. Stress is so hard on your body mentally and physically. Trust that you are in great hands with professionals who thrive on working with everyday women. The pimple on your chin & little bit of bloat that showed up last minute does not deserve a place in your mind to worry about! Remember that I am just a text away, if something is making you stress please reach out. Chances are it’s something I hear on the regular and can help you put the worry to bed. I am here for YOU.
No spray tans. Let me say that one more time, NO spray tans. Often spray tans cast red onto your skin and can have the opposite effect on camera than what you are going for. Not to mention last minute blotching. I naturally shoot warmer so leave the glowing tan to me!
No tanning beds the week of your session. Don’t gamble with a sunburn the week of your session. It’s not worth it. If you are working to even out tan lines, do that a few weeks prior to your session.
Waxing right before your session. While waxing is a great way to prepare, please make sure you are scheduling no less than 72 hours before your session. Sometimes waxing can leave bumps/ redness / and swelling. Please also do not try a wax for the first time before your session, it’s not the time to find out how your skin reacts.
Alcohol the night before. We all love a drink to help us unwind but trade the drink in for some water and a bubble bath!
Intense exercise the day before and day of your session. Leg day before your Boudoir session is not ideal. Leave all that energy and flexing for your boudoir session! Trade the workout for a really good stretching session so you are able to make the most of all our amazing poses.
No tight clothing / bras the day of your session. Show up in your comfiest & baggy clothing! Avoid anything that will leave indents and strap marks. We totally encourage you to be in your coziest clothing!
