Preparing for your boudoir session | Phoenix Boudoir Studio

Choose your Wardrobe – Lingerie is great, but you don’t have wear it if you don’t want to. A
button down shirt, sports jersey, oversized sweater, or tight shirt and booty shorts are great
alternatives. Be sure to try on your outfit(s) prior to your session to ensure everything fits properly.

Don’t Forget Accessories – Make sure you think about jewelry, shoes, props, etc. Pack
anything you need to get it ready for your session. For props, we suggest bringing personal items
that are significant to your partner – sports gear, dog tags, lab coat, etc.

Hair and Makeup – We highly recommend using a makeup artist. If you need suggestions on
who we like to work with, please contact us. A MUA will make sure that you look flawless and
ready for your close up.

Choose a Location – We can help you with this if you don’t already have a location in mind. We
tend to do these sessions at hotels, in studio, or at our private outdoor lot.
Exposure – Talk to us prior to the session to let us know what you are comfortable with and how
exposed, or unexposed, you want to be during your session. Everyone has a different comfort
level, and we like to be aware and informed of your expectations prior to your session so there
are no awkward moments.

Pre-Session Beauty Prep – We suggest getting a mani/pedi a few days prior to your session. If
you wax, don’t forget to pencil that into your schedule, as well. If you want to have a base tan for
your photos, we recommend beginning to tan a few weeks prior to your session to avoid burning
– and remember to think about your outfit and avoid any tan lines that will look bad in photos. We
suggest staying away from spray tans. Don’t forget to get your eyebrows shaped before your
session.

A few days before your session, lower your salt intake to avoid bloating and also eat a light
breakfast the morning of. Drink a lot of water leading up to your session for beautiful, healthy skin
and get a good night’s rest the night before. Shave and moisturize for beautiful legs. Wear a clear
deodorant. Don’t wear tight clothing, bras, panties, socks, etc. the morning of your session or
driving to your session. These will leave red marks on your skin and we want you looking your
best.

Relax – The most important thing you can do is relax. We will make sure you look amazing in
your photos, so don’t worry! If you’re uncomfortable, it will show, so just keep calm
