3. Preparing for Your Boudoir Experience

Before your session, there's some pre-shoot preparation to ensure that you have the best experience possible. Although most of our conversations might be through email, we can have a consultation where we discuss your vision, wardrobe choices, and any questions or concerns you might have. This is the perfect time to share your desires and expectations for the shoot. If you're unsure about what to wear, don't worry – I'm here to offer guidance and recommendations.

On the day of your shoot, come with an open heart and an open mind. You don't need to be a model; you just need to be yourself. We'll start with some warm-up shots to ease into the session and make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. As we progress, I'll provide gentle direction and coaching to capture your most beautiful self. Remember, the entire experience is about your unique beauty and feeling empowered.

I'll offer direction on how to position yourself, guide your facial expressions, and create an atmosphere that's comfortable and fun.

As we proceed through the shoot, your confidence will naturally shine through. You'll be amazed at the stunning images we capture. Remember, boudoir photography is all about celebrating your body and your personality, you just need to be yourself.
