Preparing for your boudoir session

Choose a Location – I can help you with this if you don’t already have a location in mind. I tend to do my sessions in hotels, or in your own home, I’m a natural light freak and avoid studio lighting of my ladies whenever possible.

Pre-Session Beauty Prep – I suggest getting a mani/pedi a few days prior to your session. If you wax, don’t forget to pencil that into your schedule, as well. If you want to have a base tan for your photos, I recommend beginning to tan a few weeks prior to your session to avoid burning – and remember to think about your outfit and avoid any tan lines that will look bad in photos. I suggest staying away from spray tans. Don’t forget to get your eyebrows shaped before your session. 

A few days before your session, lower your salt intake to avoid bloating and also eat a light breakfast the morning of. Drink a lot of water leading up to your session for beautiful, healthy skin and get a good night’s rest the night before. Shave and moisturiser for legs. Wear a clear deodorant. Don’t wear tight clothing, bras, panties, socks, etc. the morning of your session or driving to your session. These will leave red marks on your skin.

Yes, I am giving you full permission to wear your comfy sweats the day of our session!


Relax – The most important thing you can do is relax. I will make sure you look amazing in your photos, so don’t worry! Just keep calm and breathe!!! I promise you you’ll be surprised at how much fun you’ll have and you won’t feel nervous after 10 minutes of meeting me.
