Embracing the experience of a boudoir photoshoot is an act of celebrating your unique self, unveiling your confidence, and capturing the most beautiful, real and raw moments. At Flux Photographic, I believe in using the power of Boudoir Photography to help women feel uplifted and empowered, providing a safe space for self-expression and self-love. To ensure you have the perfect experience, here are some empowering tips and tricks to help you prepare for your boudoir session.

Embrace Your Uniqueness

The first step to a successful boudoir shoot is embracing your individuality. Recognise and celebrate what makes you uniquely you. Your boudoir session is about authentically capturing YOUR beauty and uniqueness.

Plan Ahead and Communicate
Communication is key. Work closely with your boudoir photographer, sharing your preferences, expectations, and any concerns you might have. Discuss wardrobe choices, poses, and any particular style or mood you wish to convey. This can help ease any worries and leave you feeling excited rather than nervous about your shoot.

Choose Outfits that Reflect You

Select outfits that make you feel fabulous. Whether it’s a lacy lingerie set, a cosy oversized sweater, or your favourite pair of jeans, opt for clothing that represents your style and makes you feel confident. Remember, comfort is paramount, so choose outfits that make you feel at ease. If you are wanting to fully embrace the experience and try something new or daring, bring along an outfit that you wouldn’t usually choose or choose to go fully nude within your shoot.

Pamper Yourself

Self-care is an integral part of the preparation process. Take the time to pamper yourself before the shoot. Get enough rest, stay hydrated, and consider getting a massage, a facial, or any other self-care rituals that make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. Remember, if you are going to have a wax or any facial treatments before hand, do this in advance to ensure that no swelling or redness is visible on the day. Also, if you have sensitive skin, avoid using any new skincare products before the shoot and have your facial at least a week in advance.

Practice Posing and Confidence
We have plenty of ’Pose at Home’ videos over on Instagram that you can use to practice your poses and get an idea of which ones are your favourite before the shoot. Remember, the most stunning poses often come naturally and from feeling comfortable and confident in your own skin.

Trust the Process
On the day of the shoot, trust the process and trust your photographer. Embrace any nerves or apprehensions as part of the experience. Your photographer is there to guide you, make you feel comfortable, and capture your unique beauty in the best possible light.

Embrace the Moment
Most importantly, during the session, immerse yourself in the moment. Let go of any insecurities and allow your genuine self to shine through. Embrace the beauty of the experience, and remember, this session is all about celebrating you! Remember, the goal of boudoir photography is not just about the images captured, but about the empowering journey you undertake during the process. It’s about self-discovery, self-acceptance, and self-love.

Your story is worth capturing, and your beauty is worth celebrating - Love Victoria xX
