Avoid these Boudoir Faux Pas During your Session

Boudoir Faux Pas

Bad Tan Lines/Sunburn – If you have not been tanning recently, don’t tan just before your session. You can get a sunburn or really bad tan lines, which are not flattering in photos. Also avoid spray tans if this is not something you normally do, as they can photograph poorly if you aren’t familiar with the process.

Getting drunk before or during your session – If you are nervous about your session, it’s normal to think a drink will help. That said, don’t get tipsy before or during your session! Our alcohol policy is strict - if you appear under the influence of any substance your session will be canceled.

Choosing the wrong sized outfits – Choose lingerie that is just the right size for you. You don’t want loose lingerie that gives your body no shape or hides your beautiful curves. On the other hand, lingerie that is too tight can be unflattering. Michele will help you find the right sizes during your wardrobe planning appointment.

Heavy Makeup – Our professional makeup artists will apply just the right amount of makeup. If you are not using our professional makeup artist, go easy. You don’t want to slather the makeup on too thickly. It’s more about accentuating your natural features and making you feel – and look – stunning.

Forgetting to shave/wax – Always remember to shave or wax any exposed area that needs to look smooth and sexy. The way the light will gloss over your skin, you don’t want to see “prickly” hairs on your gorgeous skin!
