Happy Celebrate Your Sexy!

So you’re about to have your boudoir session…. now what?

I have a few tips to get you ready for all the fun we are going to have!

-Water and stretching are very important! Many of my poses use muscles you would not normally use, so you want to make sure you are flexible and ready to pose!! You may be sore the day after the shoot and this is totally normal, just keep drinking water and you'll feel so much better.

-I typically suggest bringing two or three outfits. You are most likely going to be wearing clothing that could feel slightly uncomfortable if you're not used to lingerie, so choose your outfits wisely.

 1. An outfit you know you are comfortable in; this could be your significant others over sized shirt. a soft silk dress, or simply your favorite sweater with thigh high fuzzy socks. The best thing about boudoir photography, is that you can make it your own!

2.  Something on the sexier side to reach your inner diva - I personally LOVE three piece sets or bodysuits! This is a great way to be covered up but also super figure flattering and sexy! It works great in most poses because it's form fitted to your back, bust, and tush!

3. Think out of the box. Strive to embrace your body. (braless in a crop top with fishnets, leather straps, jean shorts and topless, or even your birthday suit!)

                                                   Most importantly, be yourself.

-Pamper yourself!

1) Get your nails done or do them yourself! Though it may seem silly, chipped nails or bright colors might be distracting in a photo.  Clean those babies up and keep it neutral. Stay away from yellow/green nail polishes. These can photograph "dirty" or distracting.

2) At least two days before, wax whatever you need to. Whether it be your eyesbrows or down below. Keep it clean and give it a day to settle so we don't have bumps or burns. If you don't typically wax or shave, that's totally okay! Be true to YOU! Hair is normal.

3) Moisturize! Lotion gives your skin a simple glow and keeps it looking soft and fresh. This will also help with acne, dry skin and will clear up any blemishes.

4) Cut all the tags off of your outfits, especially if they’re transparent or lace

4) Lastly, do NOT spray tan or use tanning lotions of any kind before your session!! I can not stress this enough! These can create orange stripes or discoloration to your hands and feet. It is not pretty! Keep it natural, ladies! Its okay to have soft porcelain skin, and with the moody lighting my studio offers, sometimes it actually gives you a warm glow!

*If photoshop is needed to remove spray tans or spray tan lines it WILL result in an additional editing fee of $500 since this will be handed off to a professional retoucher to balance your skin tones*

OMG! It's the day of the shoot!

If you booked hair and makeup by a HUMA before your shoot:

- Show up with loose fitting clothes to ensure your have no tight red lines on your skin. I want my clients to feel fully pampered once they enter my studio! 

-Come with a clean, makeup free, hydrated face. My makeup artists are AMAZING and work with every tone, color, or texture skin. Do not be afraid of my glam squad. They're amazing and trained for every skin type. If you have any questions about makeup, reach out to me and I can put you in contact with your artist for the day.

- Come with clean DRY hair.

-Wigs or Hair extensions. Bring it if you're comfortable applying them yourself! We are not a full salon in the studio so we do not have all the supplies needed. I can help lay edges or style the hair as needed or even help clip them in for you! You can contact me before your session with any questions you may have!

I don’t expect you to know what you are doing in front of the camera, so leave that up to me! I will pose, guide, and direct you constantly, making sure that you look absolutely amazing. I may even roll around on the floor and show poses to you, so you know exactly how to do it! In order to stay looking beautiful remember just stay relaxed. I love to capture genuine laughs and catch your natural beauty. I always have music playing while I photograph. Get ready to share some laughs while I dance behind my camera and capture your genuine smile.  Sometimes the sexiest part of us is our smile, so do NOT be afraid to giggle and have fun! 

I want you to be yourself.  I want to show you how I view you. I want to make you realize how worthy you are and help you love yourself without apology. 

Now you get to go home, have a glass of wine and just love yourself.

Still have questions? Don't be afraid to message me! I'm here for whatever you need!

I can't wait to see you!

Stay Beautiful!
