How To Prepare For You Boudoir Portraits Photo Shoot
Here is a quick down & dirty list of dos and don'ts when you prepare for your Boudoir Session
- When you come to the shoot wear loose clothing, like a sweatsuit. Don't wear tight jeans, bras or any other kind of clothes that leave lines embedded in your skin.
- Shower so you are clean.
- Do NOT wear any makeup, not even a little!
- Do NOT put anything in your hair, like hairspray or gel.
- Bring more outfits and wardrobe than you think you will need. Options are a good thing.
- Bring accessories like bracelets, rings, necklaces, hats, berets or anything you wear on your head that you like.
- Bring high heels, stilettos, shoes, boots or any kind of footwear you love. Well maybe not moccasins, unless you wanting to look like Pocahontas.
- Bring an iPod or iTouch with your favorite playlist that we can play for you as we shoot.
- Expect to have fun...after all you're not doing this to be stressed out.
- If you're using the photos for your husband, boyfriend or maybe girlfriend, your comfort level or stress level will show up in the images. So don't stress and have fun!
- Bring a friend if it makes you feel more at ease and helps you relax. Just make sure they don't tell us how to shoot
. - If you choose to tan that's fine. We suggest you stay away from spray tan because it will make your skin look blotchy in the photos.
- If you need to shave or wax, do it.
- A manicure & pedicure is a small detail but it will make a difference in the end.
- Get plenty of rest the night before the shoot so there are no bags under your eyes and you will have lots of energy.
- If you have any good suggestions that we overlooked (and I'm sure we did) when preparing for a boudoir portrait photo session please post them below and we will add them to the list.
