Your Boudoir Session: Do's & Don'ts - 6/21/16

Hello Ladies,

A Midsummer's Boudoir Day is less than a month away, and now is a great time to really get going on the preparations. I thought for today I'd come up with a quick list of do's and don'ts to consider when preparing yourself for your session! Also, July 10 clients: our wonderful hair and makeup artist Kerry Conway is offering discounts on haircuts and color at Hybrid Salon in Madison for all boudoir clients! This way you can have a fresh 'do for your session!

DO

• Bring at least 3 outfits to your session
• Come with a clean face and clean hair
• Arrive early 
• If you need to go shopping, please do so at least a week ahead. This way you are not rushed and have time to try things on. 
• Peruse your closet for wardrobe options.
• Bring as many outfits as you want, we can go through them.
• Get a mani/pedi and fresh haircut! Kerry even offers discounts to all clients!
• Choose outfits that will show your best assets and are comfortable wearing.  Please inquire with us if you have any questions on boudoir style tips!
• Bring jewelry, accessories and shoes to match your outfits.
• Come plenty hydrated, drink lots of water before and during your session.
• Talk to your makeup artist if you have any questions.
• Bring a friend for moral support
• Ask your photographer any and all questions.
• Eat before your session!

DON'T

•  Get a tan too close to the session in case you burn. Don't overdo it, dark tans on Caucasian skin can occasionally look orange.
• Eat heavy meals before your session if you are concerned about bloating. Consider leaner meals in the 12 hours before the session.
• Don't be late! We charge a late fee and this will also cut into your shoot time!
• Don't be afraid to ask for specific poses, we love to hear your ideas.
• Don't worry about being uncomfortable, it's totally natural. Please let us know if we can help in any way.
• Don't be afraid to ask for changes to your hair and makeup! We want you to look how you want to look in your photos.
• Don't come in tired! Be at your best and alert, tiredness can show in photos.
• Don't be nervous. We're here to ensure your comfort and give you the best experience possible, so please let us know what you need!

One thing I always repeat to clients is that you shouldn't feel afraid to ask any questions. There is no such thing as a silly question! The last time we had a session, one client was concerned about the temperature of the room. I was happy to bring a space heater for her. Myself and my team are here for you, and we cannot wait to take your picture!

See you July 10, or another day maybe! <3
