Boudoir Prep Guide

 

 

Do

  • Try on your outfits before hand to make sure everything fits just right ( this also helps build the excitement)

  • cut off tags from clothing

  • Stay hydrated

  • Moisturize your skin. Religiously even for a few days leading up to the shoot.

  • Pack or assemble your outfits the night before so you don’t forget anything.

  • Arrive in loose clothing. No hair ties on the wrist so we can avoid pressure lines

  • Arrive 5 minutes early just in case

  • Make a spunky playlist. While you get ready on the day of, jam out all morning. Get excited!

dont

  • Do not do anything new and drastic such as get a new hair cut the day before

  • Do not spray tan unless it is done by a professional. You will look blotchy and orange. Its inevitable, you will have an orange hue. I can’t fix that in photoshop.

  • Avoid being in the sun a few days before while you’re at it. Sun burns are not a vibe.

  • Don’t wear white deodorant to the shoot

  • Do not and I cannot stress this enough, Do not forget to eat. Small snacking is so important. We’ll be running around and you’ll need your energy.

not required but doesnt hurt

  • Get your nails done. Avoid bright colors. Neutrals are best. Even just paint them yourself just make sure there are no chips. I love hand detail shots.

  • Exfoliate. Not necessary but it does help your skin look more fresh and helps the makeup application.

  • wax 3-ish days before. Just whatever you do not too close to your appointment. I don’t want you uncomfortable and razor burn can be a beast to edit.
