How to Prep for Your Upcoming Boudoir Session
A boudoir experience is all about celebrating you, feeling comfortable in your own skin, and having an unforgettable time.
To help you feel completely relaxed and get the absolute best results from your time in front of the camera, we’ve put together a few essential prep tips. Think of this as your official countdown to feeling incredible!
✨ The Night Before: Skin Prep is Key
Flawless makeup starts with a great canvas. To get that radiant, glowing look, your skin needs a little extra love the night before:
Exfoliate and Moisturize: At a minimum, give your skin a gentle exfoliation and apply a good moisturizer the night before your appointment.
Dry Skin? No Problem: If your skin tends to run on the drier side, feel free to apply another layer of moisturizer the morning of your session.
Note: We will always prep your skin with a high-quality moisturizer right before applying makeup, but we won't be able to cleanse or exfoliate your skin on the day of the shoot. Doing that homework the night before makes all the difference!
💇♀️ The Day Before: Hair Prep Tips
When it comes to camera-ready hair, the secret actually lies in prepping it the day before you arrive.
Wash and Blow-Dry: We highly recommend washing and thoroughly blow-drying your hair the day before your appointment.
Why Clean & Dry? It is much easier for us to add gorgeous texture and volume to clean, dry hair than it is to work around excess oils or heavy product buildup.
👗 Session Day: What to Wear to the Studio
The morning of your session is all about ease and comfort.
Wear Something Loose: On the day of your appointment, please wear a loose-fitting top or a button-up shirt.
Protect the Glam: This ensures that when it’s time to change into your outfits, you can slip right out of your clothes without messing up your freshly styled hair and gorgeous makeup!
Eliminate self made blemishes: Consider not wearing a bra, and hair ties on the wrist. These items often will leave indentations on the skin.
Ready to Shine? 💖
Ultimately, the most important thing to bring to your session is just you. It’s completely normal to feel a little bit nervous beforehand, but we promise you'll leave those nerves at the door! Our studio is a safe, relaxed, and judgment-free space designed entirely to celebrate who you are.
Get some great rest, pamper your skin, and get ready for a day of fun, laughs, and stunning photos. We will handle all the rest.
See you very soon!
