How to Prepare for Your Boudoir Shoot

A boudoir photoshoot is an empowering experience that celebrates your beauty and confidence. Whether you’re doing it as a gift for someone special or as a celebration of yourself, proper preparation can make all the difference. Here’s a guide to help you get ready for your boudoir session with Saintfolio

Choose Your Outfits:  Select a few outfits that make you feel confident and sexy. Consider different styles, such as:

Lingerie Sets: Lace, silk, or satin can add a touch of elegance.

Bodysuits: Flattering and often very comfortable.

Robes: A silky robe can add an element of mystery.

Personal Touches: Include something personal, like a favourite shirt or accessory.

Tip: Avoid tight clothing or accessories before your shoot to prevent marks on your skin.

Pamper Yourself: Treat yourself to some self-care in the days leading up to your shoot:

Skincare: Exfoliate and moisturise your skin to ensure it’s soft and glowing.

Hair Removal: If you prefer, shave or wax a day or two before the shoot to avoid irritation.

Manicure and Pedicure: Neat nails add to the overall polished look.

Hydrate and Rest Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your shoot to keep your skin looking its best.

Sleep: Ensure you get a good night’s sleep before the session to look and feel refreshed.

Communicate with Your Photographer! Discuss your vision and comfort level with me before the shoot. Share any insecurities or areas you want to highlight. This helps me tailor the session to your preferences, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident.

Practice Posing: Spend a little time in front of the mirror experimenting with poses and expressions. This can help you feel more at ease during the shoot. Don’t worry, I’ll guide you through poses that flatter your body and bring out your best features.
