So you booked your first boudoir shoot! That's great, you took the first step to investing in yourself. But what is a boudoir session actually like?
For most people, boudoir is a completely new experience. It’s like nothing else you may have ever done before. It is an unusual mix of vulnerability and empowerment. It allows you to freely express yourself without any preconceived notions about how you are supposed to look. Boudoir can be a little scary at first, but knowing what to expect can help make your boudoir journey an exciting experience.
One-on-One planning:
The first step to many boudoir photoshoots is planning out what you want from the experience. This happens before you even step into the studio. That is why we work with every client individually to plan out their perfect photoshoot. From offering outfit tips and advice to how to conquer your boudoir butterflies, your boudoir photography team is an invaluable resource. We pride ourselves on tailoring the experience to your personality and unique story. Whether you have a creative boudoir theme or some personal props that you want to incorporate into your shoot, we are here to make your boudoir dreams come true. Don’t forget, your boudoir photography team is there for you every step of the way.
Before the first photo:
Don’t worry, the camera doesn’t start going off the minute you step into the studio. It's important to make sure you’re comfortable before we even take the first photo. Your boudoir session will start by going over all the outfits and accessories that you may have brought. We‘ll narrow it down to your absolute favorites.
Pro tip: make sure to start your photoshoot off with your number one, must-have outfit so you get the most time in it!
After a little chit-chat over some refreshments, we’ll jump into the fun part!
During your photoshoot:
This is your time to shine! This is the part where you’ll be expertly guided through poses from head to toe. So don’t put too much pressure on yourself here. You don't need to be a professional model to take stunning photos! Boudoir is an exhilarating and liberating experience unlike any other! The first couple of poses may feel a bit awkward, but you’ll soon get into a groove. By the end, you’ll feel like a rockstar!
Pro tip: Boudoir is a workout, so don’t hesitate to take breaks throughout your photoshoot. Remember to stay energized and hydrated with your complimentary refreshments!
The reveal:
Guess what? You did it, your first boudoir photoshoot! But before you leave the studio, you will get to view every photo and choose how you want to commemorate your shoot. The hardest part of any shoot is looking at every stunning, hand-edited photo and narrowing down what you want. Seeing the end result of your boudoir session will truly change how you feel about yourself. It is as though you are the muse of a stunning work of art. Nothing compares to how that will boost your self-esteem and confidence. Because of this, it can sometimes put a lot of pressure on the decision process. But don’t worry! Whether you choose to commemorate your shoot through digitals, or something that will last a lifetime like an album, you can’t go wrong!
One thing you’ll probably ask once your photoshoot is over is, “When can I book my next shoot?” So, what are you waiting for? You are worth investing in yourself!
