If you’ve booked a boudoir photoshoot with us in Bellaire—congratulations! You’re about to experience something truly empowering. As a Bellaire portrait photographer, I know how important it is to feel confident and ready the moment you step in front of the camera. With a little planning, your session will not only be a success but a milestone you’ll remember forever.

Weeks Before: Start with Self-Care!

Leading up to your shoot, make time to pamper yourself. Hydrate daily, stretch regularly, and indulge in self-care rituals (spa services or DIY facials at home). This isn’t just about looking your best—it’s about feeling your best.

Start journaling to connect with the person you want to see in your portraits. Who are you right now? What do you want to capture? Share your insights with me, and I’ll use them to help bring your story to life in your photos.

Two Weeks Out: Styling Consultation

Roughly two weeks before your session, we’ll have a consultation (via phone, Zoom, or in person) to design the vibe of your shoot and chat about wardrobe, products, and styling. A few days before, we’ll do a try-on appointment to finalize your looks.

Plan to bring 5-6 outfits to your session:

• Something light and ethereal (blush, nude, cream, or white)
• Something dark and smoldering (black, navy, charcoal)
• Something sexy (subtle or bold—whatever feels like YOU)
• Something epic (your dream look—think red carpet-worthy!)

Pro tip: Fitted clothing always photographs best. Aim for flattering textures like lace or chiffon, and avoid loud prints or logos.

One Week Before: Wardrobe + Beauty Prep

Begin laying out all wardrobe elements—outfits, accessories, undergarments. Tighten bra straps, press clothes, and polish your jewelry. Group outfits by look so everything’s organized and ready to go.

It’s also the perfect time to:

• Touch up roots or get a trim
• Get a gel manicure in a neutral shade
• Wax brows or upper lip (no last-minute redness!)
• Avoid caffeine and salty foods (they cause bloating)
• Drink lots of water and get quality sleep

The Day Before + Morning Of

Have a solid breakfast ready and hydrate. Wash your hair, skip the hot tools, and moisturize your skin from head to toe.

On shoot day, arrive at the studio ready to relax and be pampered. Our professional makeup artist will work their magic—whether you want a natural glow or full glam. Let them know your preferences; this is your moment.

Once you’re camera-ready, I’ll guide you through posing, expressions, and movement designed to flatter your features and make you feel incredible. Whether it’s a modern boudoir shoot or timeless portraits, my goal is to help you see yourself in a whole new light.
