Nervous about your boudoir session? We’ve got you! When you book we send you all the best information on how to prepare for your photoshoot. We know that posing in your underwear, or less, can be intimidating. Here’s just a small snippet of the information we share with you!
ONE TO TWO WEEKS BEFORE YOUR PHOTOSHOOT
This is the best time to finalize wardrobe. Go through your lingerie and try it on, decide if you want to purchase any fun new pieces, or decide if you want to borrow from our wardrobe.
“Let me stress that you do not need to come to your shoot with lingerie to have an amazing session. We have a boudoir wardrobe in our studio from sizes XXS to 5XL. We will find something in our closets that looks amazing on your body!”
All lingerie in our wardrobe is worn with sanitary liners or clients own nude thong and cleaned after use. We also send you a visual guide on what lingerie we think photographs best if you’re looking to treat yourself with some new lacy underthings!
A FEW DAYS BEFORE YOUR PHOTOSHOOT
Roots need touched up? Are you the kind of person who likes their nails done? Now would be the time to get that done! If you’re not big on polished fingers and toes, just come in with bare nails. Alternatively if you’re the kind of person who rocks a chipped edgy set feel free to be true to your own personal style! Now would also be the time to really pamper your skin. When you’re posing in lingerie you have so much more skin on display than you do everyday. Drink all the water, apply lotion a few times a day, exfoliate with a sugar scrub during a hot shower- really pamper your skin! If your preference is to remove body hair, we recommending shaving or waxing a few days before your photoshoot to let your skin have a little recovery time and to avoid razor burn.
THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR PHOTOSHOOT
Pack up everything you’d like to bring to your photoshoot. We always say we don’t mind if you overpack. We’d rather have more variety than less. All our shoots come with hair and makeup services. Plan on arriving in comfy clothes that won’t leave marks on your skin. You can roll out of your bed and show up in your PJ’s if you’d like and our hair and makeup artist will take care of glamming you up!
We also recommend trying to not overdo it the night before. This is not the time to drink a bit too much or overdo it with physical activity. While all of our clients are able to do some variation of our posing, it often uses muscles that you aren’t used to holding at certain angles and is made all that much harder when you’re sore. Netflix and hydration are probably the best night before plans you can have for your boudoir shoot!
MORNING OF YOUR SHOOT
“You just arrive to the studio and we handle the rest! ”
Of course this is all just a recommendation. Sometimes our best laid plans don’t turn out quite how we expect. Even if you come into the studio off a bender, with razor burn and no lingerie we can make it work for you. If your a planner like me the information we send out will help you prepare your mind, and possibly soothe your anxiety.
Let me know if you have more questions in the comments below on how to prepare. Again, this is just a tiny snippet of the information we share with you after booking. Roar Boudoir has been doing photoshoots since before 2014 and we love sharing the knowledge we’ve acquired over these past six years!
