Boudoir Session Prep!
Preparing for Your Boudoir Session: Unleash Your Inner Confidence
So, you've decided to embrace your sensual side and book a boudoir session. Congratulations! It's a choice that allows you to celebrate your unique beauty and feel empowered, but now the nerves are kicking in. No worries, let's ensure you're fully prepared to rock this experience with confidence and help calm the jitters. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to prepare for your boudoir session:
1. Choose the Right Photographer
Selecting a photographer whom you trust and feel comfortable with is crucial. Do your research, browse portfolios, and read reviews before making your decision. A skilled boudoir photographer can guide and support you throughout the process, making you feel at ease during the shoot. This is why I have a VIP group on Facebook: Laced & Lovely By Angela Anglin Photography so that you can not only see my work, but we can build a connection, you can see I’ve been in your shoes, you’ll learn some pretty deep and vulnerable things about me, and we can work on our self-love journey together! Each day is a challenge, some harder than others!
2. Communicate Your Vision
Discuss your expectations, desires, and any concerns with your photographer. Open communication will help the photographer understand your vision and ensure they capture the shots you want. Together, you can brainstorm ideas, explore themes, and discuss wardrobe options.
With my sessions, I ensure communication is key so that when we meet for your session, if we’ve never met, it wont feel like we are strangers! We have a phone consult that goes over the process, before, during, and after! I will answer any questions you may have to help ease your mind of worry!
3. Plan Your Wardrobe
When it comes to wardrobe choices for your boudoir session, the key is to wear what makes you feel confident and sexy. Consider outfits that highlight your best features and reflect your personality. Elegant lingerie, tasteful bodysuits, or even a cozy oversized sweater can all create stunning images. On our phone consult, we will also go over outfit suggestions, shopping for lingerie, and what you need to bring for if you choose outfits from the client closet! Yup, thats right, you also get client closet access! I also email out a lingerie guide that gives you direct links to some of my favorite outfits.
4. Prepare Your Body
Taking care of your body before the session will help you feel your best. Hydrate well, get a good night's sleep, and nourish yourself with healthy foods to ensure a radiant glow. If you desire, consider scheduling beauty treatments like a massage, manicure, and not forgetting to touch up the roots (hair). No worries on day of session “how will I look,” as professional hair and makeup is provided for you! Tailored to your desires; not much of a glam girl, no worries we can do a neutral look. Wanting to step out of your comfort zone, we can do that to, with a bold look that catches everyones eye! Just let us know what you’d like and we will match your energy, its your story love!
5. Poses and Expressions
Practice some poses and expressions in front of a mirror to familiarize yourself with different looks and angles that flatter your body. This can help boost your confidence and make you feel more comfortable during the actual shoot. Remember, your photographer will guide you throughout the session, so don't stress about being a professional model.
I am no model myself but I sure know how to find the right angle, its what I do! ;) Not only do I show you how to do the poses, but I also coach you how to bring out all the beautiful emotions that make you uniquely you and beautiful!
6. Accessories and Props
Think about incorporating personal items, accessories, or props that hold sentimental value to you. This could be a meaningful piece of jewelry, a favorite book, or even a musical instrument. These elements can add depth and personal significance to your photos, making them more meaningful to you.
