Welcome to Lauren Ashley Studios, where we’re dedicated to capturing your inner radiance through the art of boudoir photography. Preparing for your boudoir session is an essential part of ensuring you feel relaxed, confident, and ready to shine. In this blog post, we’ll provide you with valuable recommendations on preparing for your boudoir session and how to make the most out of it.
Getting Ready
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate! Before arriving at Lauren Ashley Studios, it’s essential to stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water not only keeps your skin looking fresh but also helps you feel more energetic and confident. Proper hydration can make a big difference in how you look and feel during your session.
2. Wear Comfortable, Loose Clothing To avoid any unwanted lines on your skin, we recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing prior to your arrival at the studio. This will help ensure that your skin looks smooth and flawless in your boudoir photos. Don’t forget to come braless, as you’ll have the opportunity to change privately once you’re here.
3. Use Clear Deodorant Clear deodorant is a must to avoid any unsightly white marks or pilling on your beautiful lingerie. Opting for a clear deodorant will help maintain the pristine look of your outfits throughout the session.
4. Moisturize Your Skin Before your boudoir session, pamper your skin with your favorite lotion. Hydrated skin looks radiant and enhances the overall look of your photographs. Plus, it’s a wonderful self-care step that can boost your confidence.
