ARE YOU READY?
To ensure you make the most out of your upcoming photography session with us, we’ve compiled essential preparation tips designed to enhance your experience and results. These tips cover everything from outfit choices to self-care practices that will help you look and feel your best. We encourage you to explore this guide thoroughly to prepare for a session that’s not only about capturing beautiful images but also about celebrating and empowering you.
SKIN PREP FOR OUR ARTIST
Please come to your session with cleansed, moisturised makeup free skin. The team are experienced in the industry and will tailor a look to suit and enhance your features and natural beauty. They will make you feel at ease the moment you step into the studio.
LINGERIE THAT FITS WELL
This is by far my favourite tip! If you purchase lingerie that you are confident wearing you will shine in your images. It is a good idea to bring a variety of garments to your session like lingerie sets, one piece body suits or if you want something a little more conservative a white button up business shirt and lingerie underneath is super sexy! It is also important to vary the colours of your lingerie – don’t just stick to all black. Don’t forget to cut your tags off too – the camera sees them!
TAKE RISKS
The blush experience is all about finding the most confident version of YOU! So why not have a bit of fun and experiment? We have add on option’s for each Blush Session to suit your requirements – if you want to experiment with something other than lingerie then we have options for you. Our number one priority is to make you feel as comfortable and empowered as possible.
SELF CARE AND PREPARATION
Before your session, it is important to prioritise self-care! Think about things like – getting your hair done, booking a facial or focusing on a good skin regime in the lead up to your session. Think of things like a manicure and pedicure, waxing, shaving and tanning. The better you feel coming into your session, the more you will shine on the day.
CLEAN FRESH HAIR
It is important in the lead up to your session to think about getting your hair done (if you get it coloured) the fresher the better! When you arrive on the day of your session, it is essential that you have washed and dried your hair the night before your session as this allows a perfect canvas for our hair stylists to work their magic! Please do not arrive to the studio with damp/wet hair.
WHAT TO WEAR TO THE SHOOT
Lines on your skin from bra’s and underwear can stay for way too long, and we definitely don’t want those in your album! So wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing on the day of your session. It is also a good idea to wear something that buttons or zips up on top so that you don’t mess up your hair and makeup when its time to change.
A GOOD BREAKFAST
On the day of your session, it is important to make sure you eat a good breakfast as you are going to need the stamina for your session. I will have you moving throughout the entire shoot so a good, healthy breakfast is a MUST!
SLEEP
I know sometimes it is easier said than done, but getting enough sleep in the lead up to your session is important…. especially the night before! The day is all about making you feel as good as possible so arriving with a good night’s sleep under your belt and a healthy meal will make everything else fall into place.
WATER
Water is what is going to give that glowing, hydrated skin! Make sure your intake is consistent in the lead up to your session…. your skin and body will thank you for it.
ANXIETY OR NERVES
Embarking on a boudoir session is a truly remarkable step towards self-empowerment and discovery. Each session is a unique journey that illuminates and empowers, designed just for you. It’s natural to feel nervous or anxious; stepping out of your comfort zone is a bold move. Remember, these feelings are a normal part of the process. You’ve made this choice for personal reasons that matter deeply to you, aiming to celebrate and embrace your true self. So, take a deep breath, let loose, and immerse yourself in the experience. Rest assured, you’re in good hands with me (Ange). Together, we’ll craft stunning images that will astonish and delight you.
HOT TIP: REMOVE ALL TAGS FROM YOUR LINGERIE AND CLOTHING BEFORE YOUR SESSION! THE CAMERA CAN SEE EVERYTHING AND WE DON’T WANT YOUR BEAUTIFUL IMAGES RUINED.
