tip 1

Get your nails done

Girlie, don't show up with chipped polish, please. If ​acrylics are your thing, do it. Tips such as stiletto make ​your fingers appear longer.

If no polish is your thing, that works too.

If you do polish, choose a neutral. You don't want hot pink ​or neon green nails because they will stick out / glow in ​the shadows. Please have your nails ready before your ​session so they are 100% dry. Add it to your calendar now ​so you don’t forget.

Get your hair d​o​ne

I cannot photoshop roots. I'm not saying a little lived-in ​roots isn’t cute, but I can't photoshop out heavy grays and ​I can't remove dark roots from platinum blonde hair. I can ​remove a gray or a stray, but let's just make sure your hair​ does not need photosho​pped.

Visualize your makeup

Darker makeup really pushes your images to a more sultry ​& sexy side. It also makes your eyes pop.

A more natural look might make you feel more like ​yourself. Definitely something to think about!

Feel free to browse Pinterest for some ideas, but most ​important, trust our Makeup Artist - Makeup By Mel. She ​knows exactly how to bring out your best features.

Stretch

The more arch you can get in your back, the bigger the ​booty. A lot of my clients feel like their boudoir session is ​more like a yoga session and a lot of my clients report ​being a bit sore after their session. So stretch and maybe ​practice yoga prior to your session.

Practice arching your back every night and maybe even ​practice some of the posing you see in my photos. I'll still ​give you direction the entire session, don't worry!

Show up in loose clothing

You do not need to show up to your session dressed to ​impress, especially when you'll be leaving looking hot af.

Showing up in anything, but loose clothing, will 100% ​leave impressions on your skin. Don't wear an elastic ​waistband, bra, tight jeans, leggings, socks, or lace ​underwear. Doing this will save me time in Photoshop and ​it will create less distraction for you when you see your ​final images!

Plus, being comfy is the best thing ever. We have robes ​available for use or feel free to bring your own.

You're welcome to bring cutie clothes to change into when​ you le​ave if you’ve got places to be.

arrive with clean + PRep​p​ed hair

For your session, please show up with clean enough hair to where your ​roots are not oily, so same-day wash or day 1-2. Some think clean hair ​doesn't hold style, but it's more important that we are able to move ​your hair freely during your session than worrying if the curl will last. I ​love being able to flip my client's hair around, if possible. Much easier ​to do with clean roots!

Our included hair styling service is considered a “light styling” service, ​meaning we will curl or flat iron what you come in with. Be sure to prep ​your hair accordingly and blow it out prior to coming in, if needed. You ​may also opt to show up with your hair already styled.

For curly haired babes, if you prefer your natural hair, then please be ​sure to style as normal prior to coming in. We can go over your curls ​with heat if you prefer. Bring any specific hair product(s) you can't live ​without as we only carry hairspray and Ouai Finishing Créme. We do ​not have a hair bowl or blowdryer.

Don't sweat the small stuff

If you have a break out, bruise, scratch, or anything ​like that, don't worry about it! Totally removable in ​Photoshop.

We'll go over Photoshop requests in-person and ​you’ll be able to leave requests on each photo in ​your online gallery.
