Thinking about booking a boudoir session but have no idea what actually happens? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! A lot of people are nervous before their first boudoir shoot, but by the end, they’re wondering why they didn’t do it sooner. So, let’s walk through exactly what to expect from start to finish—spoiler alert: it’s way more fun than you think!

Step 1: Filling Out the Contact Form

The first step is easy—just fill out our contact form to let us know you're interested! Once we receive your inquiry, we’ll send over our boudoir questionnaire to get to know you and your vision.

Step 2: The Boudoir Questionnaire

This short and fun questionnaire helps us understand your style, comfort level, and dream boudoir session. Do you want bright and airy, dark and moody, playful and teasing? Full-body shots or close-up details? This is where we start shaping your perfect experience together.

Our questionnaire takes you through all the things that help us get to know you and learn about your vision for a boudoir session.

Step 3: Free Consultation (Let’s Chat!)

Next, we set up a free consultation to go over your questionnaire. This is where we get to know each other, answer any of your questions, and help you feel totally at ease. We’ll also recommend packages and products based on what you want—whether it’s digital images, a gorgeous album, or wall art that reminds you just how stunning you are every day.

Step 4: Booking Your Session

Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll send over your contract and invoice to officially lock in your session date. Then, the real fun begins!

Step 5: Planning & Prepping with Us

We’re with you every step of the way to answer questions and help you prep. Not sure what to wear? We’ll send you wardrobe recommendations and even help set up a lingerie consultation with our partner boutique if you want expert guidance on finding the perfect pieces.

🔥 Pro Tip: Avoid tight clothing before your session—no one wants red marks from straps or waistbands!

Step 6: Hair & Makeup – The Ultimate Glow-Up

On the day of your session, you’ll arrive and be greeted like the queen you are! If you opted for professional hair and makeup (which we highly recommend), our expert glam squad will get to work making you feel extra fabulous. Whether you want full-on bombshell glam or a soft, natural glow, we’ve got you covered.

Having your hair and makeup done by a professional is a luxury that just sets the stage for the rest of the fun!

🎶 Bonus: We’ll have a speaker ready, so bring your favorite playlist or let us surprise you with one of ours!

Step 7: Pre-Shoot Chat & Hype Session

Before we start, we’ll sit down for a quick chat. We’ll go over posing, boundaries, and what to expect—and most importantly—we’ll hype you up so you feel confident and ready to shine. Think of it as a little pep talk + confidence boost before the magic happens!

Step 8: Time to Have Some Sexy Fun!

This is where the magic happens! You don’t need to worry about posing or knowing what to do—we’ll guide you every step of the way, showing you exactly how to move and making sure you look AH-MAZING.

🔥 Don’t worry about feeling awkward—we’ll demonstrate poses if needed (yes, sometimes that means rolling around on the floor ourselves!)

We’ll also check in throughout the shoot, showing you sneak peeks from the camera so you can see just how incredible you look.

Step 9: Scheduling Your Image Reveal Before You Leave

Once your session wraps up, we’ll schedule your big reveal session before you walk out the door. That way, you’ll already have a set date to see your stunning images (and trust us, you’re going to want to see them ASAP!).

Step 10: The Big Reveal & Ordering Your Products

A few weeks after your shoot, we’ll meet for your image reveal session—a moment that’s often filled with happy tears, gasps, and a whole lot of "WOW, that’s ME?!"

🖼 You’ll pick your favorite images, decide on prints, albums, or wall art, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Final Thoughts: Is a Boudoir Session Worth It?

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished you could see yourself the way others do, a boudoir session is for you. It’s not just about the photos—it’s about walking away feeling damn good in your own skin. Whether you book a session for yourself or as a gift, you’ll leave with more than just beautiful images—you’ll leave with a boost of confidence you didn’t even know you needed.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s create something incredible together!
