Planning for your Boudior Photography Session

BOUDIOR PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDE

What to wear:

  • Look through your own clothing, no need to run out and buy new outfits. Find what makes you feel beautiful and photo ready.

  • Consult with your photographer ahead of time about the outfit(s) you plan to wear. They can assist with finding what will be best. It is imperative that you and your photographer are clear on the style or look before the session.

  • Layering is best so you can remove items or add for different looks. Bringing accesories like jewelry, scarves, hates etc., will help finish out your look.

  • Loose clothing needs to be worn without bra and underwear to keep from getting any indentions in skin etc., while getting hair, makeup and traveling to shoot.

  • If new items of clothing are purchased, order with plenty of time before the date of your session.  Allow time for any alterations done if needed as well.

  • Clear deodorant

  • All clothing needs to be wrinkle free and ready to go for the shoot.

  • Bring a pair of white, nude and black underwear & bra

  • Bring a pair of each nude and black heels

 

Hair & Make-up:
