BOUDOIR Session Prep:
- MOISTURIZE: GET IN THE HABIT OF USING MOISTURIZERS AND EYE CREAMS LEADING UP TO YOUR SHOOT TO HAVE YOUR SKIN LOOKING HYDRATED AND IT'S HEALTHIEST. DON'T FORGET THE LIPS! APPLY THAT CHAPSTICK GIRL. EXFOLIATING WITH A LIP SCRUB CAN HELP YOU HAVE FRESH HEALTHY SMOOTH LIPS ON THE DAY OF YOUR SESSION!
- MANI/PEDI : YOU ARE GOING TO WANT YOUR NAILS TO POP MAMA. A MANICURE AND PEDICURE ISN'T NECESSARY BUT IT DOES HELP ADD TO YOUR OVERALL LOOK. YOU WILL AT LEAST WANT THEM TO BE TRIMMED AND NEAT FOR YOUR SESSION. REMEMBER THE OUTFIT YOU’RE GOING TO BE WEARING AND BE SURE TO CHOOSE A COLOR THAT WILL COMPLIMENT IT AND CONTRASTS WELL.
- CLEAN YOUR JEWELRY: IF YOU'RE WEARING ANY DIAMONDS, MAKE SURE THEY'RE CLEANED AND SHINY ON SESSION DAY. YOU'LL DEFINITELY WANT TO BE SHOWING IT OFF IN YOUR SESSION. SIMPLE JEWLERY ADDS JUST A TOUCH OF SHINE TO YOUR IMAGES AND CAN BE A NICE WAY TO PAY TRIBUTE TO SOMEONE SPECIAL.
- WAXING AND SKIN CARE: IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO WAX FOR YOUR SESSION, PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE 3-5 DAYS FOR YOUR SKIN TO HEAL BEFORE THE SESSION. SHAVING CAN BE DONE THE NIGHT PRIOR TO THE SHOOT, OR THE MORNING OF YOUR SESSION. CLEAN/MOISTURIZED SKIN PHOTOGRAPHS THE BEST! BRING A SPARE BOTTLE OF LOTION ON SESSION DAY FOR ANY LAST MINUTE TOUCH UPS.
- TANNING: SPRAY TANNING SHOULD BE AVOIDED WITHIN A WEEK OF THE SESSION. PLEASE HAVE IT DONE AT LEAST ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THE SESSION. IF YOU ARE TANNING IN A TANNING BED TO PREP FOR YOUR SESSION, AVOID TANNING OR LAYING OUT IN THE SUN FOR UP TO 48 HOURS TO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE BURNT SKIN OR CRAZY TAN LINES ON SESSION DAY.
- MAKEUP: GO BOLD GIRL. THIS IS A TIME WHEN WEARING BOLD HEAVY MAKEUP DOESN'T LOOK OVERDONE. YOU DO WANT TO BE MINDFUL THAT YOUR CHEEKS MATCH THE REST OF YOUR SKIN HOWEVER. SO BLEND WELL DARLING. DARK EYESHADOWS AND BOLD LIP COLORS REALLY POP IN YOUR IMAGES. GO FOR THE RED LIPSTICK YOU DONT WEAR MON-FRI AND HAVE FUN WITH IT! AVOID USING HEAVY HIGHLIGHTER AS IT TENDS TO OVEREXPOSE IN PHOTOS.
- I'M SELF CONSCIOUS-HOW DO I EVEN POSE? TAKE THIS ADVICE FROM A GIRL WHO HAS BEEN SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT HER BODY HER WHOLE LIFE. TRY ON YOUR OUTFITS AND TRY POSING IN FRONT OF A MIRROR. DON'T WORRY-WE ALL DO IT. I PROMISE ONCE YOU TRY IT ON AND SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU LOOK, YOU WILL BE INSPIRED AND EXCITED FOR YOUR SESSION. DO NOT WORRY! I WILL POSE YOU AND GO THROUGH VARIOUS POSING PROMTS OR 'ACTIONS' SO THAT YOU LOOK YOUR BEST AND WE GET ALL THE BEST SHOTS CANDID AND POSED. IF YOU HAVE ANY AREAS YOU WANT TO AVOID-LET ME KNOW. BETWEEN DIFFERENT ANGLES AND POSES WE CAN MAKE THIS A FUN POSITIVE EXPERIENCE LEAVING YOU WANTING ANOTHER SESSION AFTER YOU'RE DONE!
- DAY OF SESSION TIPS: WEAR LOOSE CLOTHES ON YOUR DRIVE TO THE STUDIO. SOMETHING THAT WONT LEAVE LINES ON THE SKIN. BRING A ROBE AND YOUR OUTFIT TO CHANGE INTO WHEN YOUR SESSION IS DONE -WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE STUDIO: IF YOU'RE COMING TO A MINI SESSION MARATHON, BE PREPARED TO GET DRESSED IN A SHORT WINDOW OF TIME SO YOU CAN UTILIZE YOUR ENTIRE TIME FRAME FOR SHOOTING.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
MINI SESSIONS-30 minutes: 1-2 outfits with a silk robe or similar item to help provide variety to your gallery. Heels or no shoes at all. These are only offered during mini session marathons. $175
FULL SESSION-60-90 minutes: 3-4 outfits, use a variety of colors but make sure they complement each other so that when you print your album, everything flows cohesively. Heels always help elongate the legs and can help with posing as well! $325
***ONE QUESTION IS "WHO ALL WILL. BE AT MY SESSION?" UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, THERE WILL ONLY EVER BE YOU AND MYSELF AT THE STUDIO. SOMETIMES CLIENTS ASK TO BRING A FRIEND FOR MORAL SUPPORT BUT THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE PHOTOGRAPHER DURING YOUR SESSION.
ANY QUESTIONS? JUST ASK!
I cant wait to work with you!
