THE BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE

Individual, or Maternity

WHAT TO EXPECT:

A session with me is super fun and based around getting you to tap into your inner wild so you can let go and embrace the beautiful person you were designed to be. I don't know about you but that sounds pretty good!

I am here to guide you 100% of the way. No need to start a secret Pinterest board of steamy photos. I'm here to pose and prompt you so you can feel most confident in front of the camera. You'll not only feel confident, you'll look confident and comfortable. I will provide step by step posing instruction from your head to your toes, from your expression to your fingertips. No detail is left behind.

Our session will last about 1-2 hours and I will be snapping away the whole time. As you get more comfortable, you'll probably find that you'll begin to pose yourself and you'll have your own ideas of how you'd like to look. This is amazing and I'm so excited to see your confidence fire up.

If you're booking a package that includes hair and makeup, you'll need to plan to arrive 1.5-2 hours before your session start time.

WHAT TO WEAR?

Choose clothing that reflects your personality and style. If you're not the one for lace, or if you don't love the strappy look, pick something that is more true to you.

Make sure you are comfortable in what you wear. I suggest going through what you already own to find something to wear. If you want to buy something, take time trying it on and testing it out at home-- is it comfortable, can you move, is it flattering?

Know your body type. Wear clothing that fits your body. If you're comfortable, pop into a lingerie store that has a variety of options so you can see what looks best. All bodies are beautiful and unique-- take time to find what works best. If you feel like you look good, your confidence will be visible in your photos.

If your shoot is outside, bring some layers and options.

TRY TO AVOID:

Lingerie that doesn't fit right. It can be common to get lingerie that is too tight. Pay attention to fit.

Wearing tight fitting clothing prior to your shoot. Tight clothing can crease the skin and make lines. Try wearing something comfortable on your way to the shoot so your skin is smooth upon arrival.
