Boudoir for Beginners: What to Expect at Your First Session
If you’re new to boudoir, you might be feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness and that’s completely normal! Many of my clients are first-timers. Trust that I’ll guide you through every step.
Once we complete your consult call (that you can schedule here), here’s what you can expect from your first boudoir session, from start to finish:
1. A Warm Welcome
When you arrive at the studio, we’ll take a few moments to chat and go over your outfits. This is your time to relax, ask any last-minute questions, and get comfortable in the space.
2. Professional Hair and Makeup
Your session includes professional hair and makeup. This is your time to sit back, be pampered, and collaborate on your look. Whether you prefer a soft, natural vibe or something bold and glamorous, the goal is to make you feel confident and radiant before stepping in front of the camera.
3. Guided Posing Every Step of the Way
You don’t need to know anything about posing, that’s my job! I’ll demonstrate each pose, guide you through every movement, and coach you on everything from your hands to your facial expression. I’ll even show you some of the images on the back of the camera so you can see just how incredible you look as we go!
4. A Safe and Empowering Environment
I understand that boudoir is a vulnerable experience, and my priority is creating a space where you feel supported and celebrated. Every step of your session is tailored to your comfort and vision, ensuring the experience is as empowering as it is fun.
5. A Fun and Transformative Experience
Many first-time clients walk in feeling nervous but leave feeling like a supermodel! The session is designed to help you embrace your beauty, rediscover your confidence, and most importantly, have fun.
6. The Viewing and Ordering Appointment
1-2 weeks after your session, based on our mutual availability, we’ll schedule a viewing appointment where you’ll see your images for the first time. This is when you’ll select your favorites and choose how you’d like to display them. My studio offers custom albums, metal wall art, and folio boxes. You’ll see examples of each at your session.
Your First Boudoir Session is Your Moment to Shine
A boudoir session is about more than just photos. It’s about celebrating yourself and embracing your beauty. Whether you’re treating yourself or creating a gift for someone special, your first session is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
