Getting Ready for your Boudoir Session
What do I need to do to get ready for my session?
Mostly, you just need to show up! We’ll be with you every step of the way. We do recommend a manicure and pedicure before your photoshoot. You might also want a fresh haircut and color. Check out some more tips here in “Your Ultimate Guide to an Unforgettable Boudoir Shoot” ebook!
Should I spray tan before my photoshoot?
It depends. For most people, we do not recommend getting a spray tan. Your natural skin tone will usually look better on camera than a spray tan. However, if you get spray tans frequently and know that it looks good on you, then go for it! But this is probably not the time to try your first ever spray tan.
Should I wax before my session?
Sure, if that’s your thing. If you do choose to wax, we recommend making the appointment at least a couple of days before your session to avoid redness or irritation.
Should I arrive at the studio with my hair wet or dry?
Arrive at the studio with dry hair.
Should I come to my boudoir photoshoot with my makeup done?
No. Come to the studio with a clean face and no makeup on.
Do I need to lose weight or go on a diet before my session?
No, you do not need to lose weight or go on a diet before your session. But I understand why you are asking this question. We live in a society that emphasizes thinness. But we don’t buy into that here at Chicago Boudoir. You are fabulous right now, just as you are. Let’s celebrate YOU in all of your glory! I sometimes hear people say that they want to lose weight before their photoshoot, but I never hear someone say that they wish they had waited 5 years to do it. Let’s do this now!
Should I get a manicure and pedicure before my session?
Yes, we recommend a professional manicure and pedicure because your hands and feet will show in many of your photos.
What do I need to bring to the studio on the day of my boudoir photoshoot?
Bring a form of ID. We photograph women ages 21+ and check ID for everyone for liability purposes.
Wardrobe. Pack the items that you would like to be photographed in.
Cash or debit / credit card to purchase your photo collection.
Your best boudoir energy! We’re going to have a great time together!
Do I need to arrive early for my photo session?
No. The time listed on your booking is your arrival time. But you also don’t want to be late! Late arrivals may reduce your time in front of the camera.
