If you’ve already booked your Phoenix Boudoir Photography Session and are beginning to plan for your shoot you may be wondering how to prepare or what to bring with you on the day of your boudoir session. For our clients here at Bella Jade Boudoir we invite them to schedule a pre-shoot consultation with us to better understand just what to expect and get even more tailored guidance on how to get ready for their session with us.
Here are 5 quick tips we share with every boudoir client:
This was Miss M’s very first boudoir photo shoot. Like a lot of our clients she had a little bit of fear going into this but she had wanted to do a boudoir shoot for a long time. And, for Miss M. she was hopeful that doing something like this would bring her confidence back and allow her the space she needed to appreciate where she is right now, all in.
After her boudoir session with us in our second studio, The Grey Room, we asked her to share her experience with us. She shares what it was like for her along with an insider tip for anyone planning their own boudoir session.
Read MoreMiss D. admits she had some inhibitions going into this. She knew that she had wanted to do her very own boudoir photo shoot for a while. As a women in her 60’s in a body that looks different from medias perception of perfection it took a bit of courage to pull the trigger. And, honestly she is not alone in feeling the pressure to meet certain standards before booking a shoot like this. But for her — doing this NOW was the absolute right time!
Listen, there is no pre-requisite to learning to love yourself other than the desire to want to! As far as I am concerned, at Bella Jade, boudoir is about loving who your are in the body that you’re in right now, then
— having those images and re-visiting that feeling every time you look back on your boudoir photos!
I am so glad that Miss D refused to let her inhibitions hold her back, but rather allowed the inner critic to motivate her to be better at loving her body! She talked back, and I love that!
After her session at our main studio we asked to interview her about her Scottsdale boudoir photography experience. She said YES. She too, wanted other women to feel empowered to celebrate their bodies at any age so that they can see for themselves just how beautiful they really are. Her boudoir interview goes to show that numbers do not define us and we are ALWAYS worthy of self love.
She says “In the days of self love, this is one of the best things you can do for yourself.”
Read MoreMiss C. had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot. Like a lot of women, the thought of doing a shoot like this was outside of her comfort zone - something that took an act of courage to finally commit and show up all in!
Her journey led her to Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale after the birth of her first baby. She expressed a desire to feel beautiful again. A desire to carve out some “me” time to acknowledge everything she has overcome leading up to this moment, her accomplishments, and embrace this current stage of her life.
For her, a boudoir shoot was something she could do for herself that would help her recognize her strengths, celebrate her wins, and reconnect with her body in a way that was reserved just for her.
After her shoot we reached out to interview her about her boudoir experience and she shared with us how she got here, her fears, what it felt like, and her own first hand advise for anyone considering doing a boudoir shoot of their own!
Read MorePlanning for your first boudoir photoshoot can be intimidating at first, especially when it comes to picking out outfits, accessories, props, and figuring out what to bring with you on the day of your shoot. We love being able to chat one on one with our clients before the day of their session and also share tons of tips and tricks in our private VIP group to help you prepare and feel more comfortable with doing a shoot like this with us.
We recommend that all of our boudoir clients pack for their big day no later than the night before. And to be honest, you really don’t need much more than handful of outfits, a pair of heels, and a few simple accessories. We talk a lot about this during your styling and wardrobe consultation so that you are not left scrambling the night before trying to guess what you should have packed.
While you may be wondering what you should bring in your boudoir bag, we also want you to consider what NOT to bring to your boudoir session.
