Prepare Yourself For an Incredible Shoot With a Professional Boudoir Photographer
Are you considering a boudoir photo shoot? Perhaps you've been gifted a session, or maybe you're just treating yourself. Either way, we want to help you prepare for an incredible experience! Here are a few things to keep in mind as you get ready for your big day.
First and foremost, remember that your photographer is professional. They know how to work with light and angles to create stunning images that capture your unique beauty. Trust that they will guide you through poses that highlight your best features and make you feel confident. Secondly, take some time to pamper yourself before the shoot! Get a manicure, have your hair done—whatever makes you feel gorgeous. Then pick out lingerie that makes you feel both comfortable and sexy (we suggest avoiding anything too constricting). Lastly, relax and have fun! This is supposed to be enjoyable, so let loose and let the photographer do their job. Before you know it, you'll be looking at beautiful pictures of yourself that celebrate your femininity—and we guarantee you'll love them.
Get a good night's sleep before your shoot
As much as we all want to look our best for our shoot, beauty really does come from the inside out! That's why it's so important to get a good night's sleep before your session – and no, sleeping in makeup doesn't count! School may have been optional when you were younger but this is compulsory. Not only will a restful night of shut-eye help you stay relaxed during your session and make sure you look your absolute best, but lack of sleep can also rob you of that much-needed confidence boost that you deserve! Truly, hitting the hay is where it’s at.
Have a light breakfast the morning of the shoot and hydrate yourself
Start your perfect boudoir shoot day right by fueling up and hydrating for best results. Don’t go for a heavy, greasy breakfast before heading to the studio - that will only cause you to feel sluggish and low energy as you move from pose to pose. Go for something light, like a protein bar or whole grains toast with almond butter. Make sure to sip on that h20, ladies - drinking plenty of water will give you lots of energy and make sure your skin looks dewy and fresh come picture time. Follow these guidelines for an awesome photoshoot!
Choose the right outfits - things that make you feel confident and sexy
Choosing the right outfit is a key element to taking beautiful boudoir photos - and it's also one of the most fun parts of the process! When it comes to picking out something special for your photo shoot, there's no better way to let your inner beauty shine than by wearing something that makes you feel confident and sexy. If a little black dress isn't your style, don't worry – anything goes when you're picking an outfit for your boudoir session in Chicago. We suggest brainstorming ideas of what makes you feel amazing, from flowing gowns and tailored suits to lingerie or even just simple tops and bottoms. Even if nothing you come up with seems like the perfect thing for photos, remember: no matter what you choose, you can rock it with confidence!
Arrive to the studio early so you're not rushed or stressed out
Begin your boudoir experience right by arriving to the studio early! It can be stressful to rush and we don't want that. Being a few minutes early means you'll have a chance to get comfortable in the space so any worries or anxieties can melt away before the cameras come out. Plus, you'll have plenty of time for hair and make-up so you look and feel your most confident and fabulous self! So arrive at the studio a bit early, take a breath, and bask in your beauty like the queen you are!
