What to Expect at Your Boudoir Shoot

Apr 24

(Spoiler: You're Gonna Feel Amazing)

So, you’re thinking about booking a boudoir shoot—or maybe you already have (yay!)—but you’re feeling a little nervous?
First of all: totally normal. Boudoir is equal parts exciting and a little “what-did-I-just-sign-up-for?” That’s part of the magic.

Whether this is a gift to yourself, your partner, or simply something you've always wanted to do, here’s exactly what you can expect when you book a boudoir session with me.

1. Pre-Shoot: We Connect First

Before we ever step into the studio (or dreamy Airbnb, or wherever we’re shooting), we’ll chat. I want to know your vision, your comfort level, and what’s most important to you. Are you going for soft and romantic? Bold and sultry? Casual in jeans and a tee? Fully glam? We’ll go over wardrobe ideas, vibe inspo, and how you want to feel when you look at your photos.

This is your shoot. Your energy. Your story. I’m just here to help bring it to life.

2. The Day Of: You Show Up, I Got You

Nervous? Almost every client tells me that at the beginning. And by the end? They're glowing. Like, “Did I just do THAT?!” glowing.

Here’s how the day flows:

Arrival: We ease into the space. I’ll walk you through the setup, we’ll chat, and you can take a deep breath (or a few).
Wardrobe Chat: We’ll go over what you brought, and I’ll help you pick your looks and style the session accordingly.
Hair & Makeup: You’ll relax and get your Hair & Makeup done by one of our talented artists.
Shooting Time: I’ll guide you through every pose and expression. You don’t have to know what to do—I promise. I’ll help you with hands, hair, hips, and all the little details so you look (and feel) amazing.
Breaks are welcome. Laughter is encouraged. Music is always playing. It's a vibe.

3. Comfort Is Key (And Consent Is Everything)

You are in full control of your experience. You can show as much or as little as you want. There is no “right” way to do boudoir—only your way.

You don’t have to be a model. You don’t have to “look a certain way.” You just have to show up and trust that you’re worthy of being celebrated. Because you are.

4. After the Shoot: The Magic Continues

Within a week or so, you’ll receive your private proofing gallery to select your favorite images. From there, I’ll retouch them with care (no heavy filters or unrealistic edits—just polishing what’s already beautiful).

You can choose digital files, prints, or a gorgeous custom album—whatever feels most meaningful to you.

5. Final Thought: This Is For You

A boudoir shoot isn’t just about sexy photos (though yes, you will absolutely look fire 🔥). It’s about seeing yourself in a new light. Reclaiming your confidence. Celebrating who you are right now.

So if you’re nervous, excited, curious, or all of the above—you’re in the right place.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
