You had a blast surfing Pinterest for those ideas you pinned to show your style and what your version of sexy, fun, glamorous and sophisticated are. You followed all the information in the guides and emailed all your questions and are ready for your big day! Now it is time to take a deep breath and relax a little.

Here are a few last minute tips for the day before your session:

Shave and use a moisturizer. Moisturize everywhere, from your nose to your toes.
Double-check that you have everything you’ll be bringing for your session – clothing, lingerie, high heels, jewelry, props…
Relax and have a stress-free evening.
Try to get at least eight hours of good sleep.

It is the day of your session! Your Big Day has arrived.

Whether you are doing a boudoir, glamour, fashion, pinup or some other type of shoot this is the day you’ve been waiting and preparing for!

This is YOUR DAY and it’s time to get ready!

Bath / Wash and dry your hair but don’t use any products to style your hair if we are providing hair styling for your shoot.
Use a clear deodorant but don’t use perfumes or colognes.
Eat a light breakfast before leaving the house (Do Not skip breakfast)
Try to leave a little early to your session in case you get stuck in traffic or are delayed. You don’t want to be late.
Arrive in loose fitting cloths to avoid marks on your skin- yes be careful even with your socks! Lines from the clothes you wear to your shoot take time to fade and can be challenging to cover up especially in a boudoir shoot!
Bring slippers or flip flops to wear on your feet between sets. Your feet will stay warmer and it keeps the bottom of your feet cleaner for those shots when you’re barefoot.

Relax and try not to be nervous. We’ll make sure you look your best and are guided throughout the entire process making sure you’re as comfortable as possible. Try to remember that nothing is sexier and more attractive than a confident woman. This is your day and a wonderful experience so enjoy yourself and have a great time!

Before you leave for the day, we’ll set a date for you to come back to the studio for your Portrait Reveal and Ordering Session. This usually takes place two to three weeks after your shoot. This is when you’ll select the photos you want to purchase and how you want them printed. Remember our Happiness Guarantee – you only purchase the photos you love. Most clients love them all!

Here is an excerpt from a follow up email from one of our lovely ladies after her boudoir/fashion photo-shoot:“

“Hi Marilyn!
I just wanted to email you and see how you have been doing… I love the photos, I don’t remember if I told you. I like how they came out and I am so very proud of them. I also wanted to let you know that since I have seen you, my confidence has risen. I absolutely love that we had a chance to meet. You are definitely an inspiration.
-T”
