Tuesday Tutorial

Happy Tuesday! In this week's tutorial I thought it would be helpful to provide you some boudoir session preparation tips  DOs  AND DON'Ts  LIST

BEAUTY & STYLING DOs
• Find properly fitting lingerie (no squeeze! No loose!) 
• Shop in advance. I can suggest you some places.
• Shop for your body type (ask me for info)
• Buy or Borrow from best friend.
• Black, Red,Jewel-toned, pastels and white lingerie work best in my studio setting.
• Bring 3+ looks in a rolling suitcase or bag (unless a mini session)
• Bring sexy heels. Our designer shoe closet is 7-9.5 
• High heels help lift & elongate. Boots are also amazing with some looks
• Simple, elegant or sentimental jewelry is great. 
• For a fashion-stylized look, bring 1-2 favorite, dramatic jewelry pieces. 
• If you are concerned about tummy, go for slightly retro-inspired lingerie, like a high-waisted panty and bralette
• Bodysuits are everyone’s friend!
• Get hydrated the days prior to the shoot
• Get waxed or shave prior to session but not day before (to avoid bumps or rash)
• Stretch your muscles before your session
• Get manicure or pedicure done
• Moisturize your facial and body skin well on the morning of the session 
• Blemishes and bruises can be removed in Photoshop
• Tan lines, tattoos and major scars “may” require extra retouching for a fee

BEAUTY & STYLING DON’TS
• Absolutely NO Spray tanning. NO tanning bed tans.
• NO Alcohol in days prior 
• Don’t worry if you get your period. This is common.
• Don’t try to hide your body under baggy shirts & jerseys 
• The shoot is about YOU, not about props. 
• Props are welcome if very relevant to the recipient
• Sparkly or oily lotions and sprays are prohibited. 
• DON’T be nervous … it is SO fun!
