How to Prep for Your Session

Whether you’re stepping into the studio for a boudoir experience or heading out for a portrait session, preparation can make all the difference. Here are my top tips to help you feel confident, comfortable, and ready for your big day.

✨ Preparing for Your Boudoir Session (My Darling Boudoir KC)

1. Skin & Hair Care

• Avoid spray tans—they can look uneven on camera.

• Moisturize your skin in the days leading up to your session.

• Touch up roots or color a week in advance if you’d like your hair freshly done.

2. Outfits & Accessories

• Bring 2–3 lingerie looks you love (bodysuits, bra/panty sets, or something unique to you).

• Don’t forget accessories like jewelry, heels, stockings, or a robe—they add variety to your gallery.

3. Body Confidence Boost

• Stretch before your session—arch your back, point your toes, and sit tall.

• Remind yourself: this experience is about celebrating YOU.

1. Outfits & Styling

• Choose outfits that coordinate but aren’t too matchy-matchy. Think complementary colors and comfortable fits.

• Bring a backup outfit just in case (especially for kids or outdoor sessions).

2. Rest & Refresh

• Make sure everyone is well-rested and fed before the session—it makes a huge difference in mood and energy!

• Pack water, snacks, and any small comfort items for little ones.

3. Personal Touches

• Think about props or meaningful items you’d like to include—blankets, flowers, or even a favorite toy for your child.

• Don’t stress about perfection—your unique personality and connections are what we’ll capture.

🌿 General Tips (For Any Session)

• Arrive a few minutes early so you can relax and settle in.

• Trust the process—I’ll guide you through posing and prompts so you feel at ease.

• Most importantly: enjoy yourself. The best photos come when you’re having fun and being present.
