Show Off Your Natural Beauty Through Boudoir
Confidence is Sexy!
The very act of taking on the challenge of a Boudoir session is a confidence building exercise that will enrich your life. We are here to encourage and consult with you on building courage when in front of a camera. There are many ways to build yourself up before a session, and meditation is one invaluable tool that can make all the difference.
So much of our nerves stem from the rampant thoughts that occur on a daily basis, and this can be especially apparent in the days approaching your anticipated session. Breathing exercises are also very good for the body and mind, relaxing tension and helping you attain your natural relaxation rhythm. On the day of the shoot, you may also wish to implement these techniques to get in the right frame of mind. Gaining control over your nerves has never been more beneficial!

Find the Most Flattering Angles
The magic of camera angles allows for us to be highly flexible in the way we capture your body in the most flattering way. We want you to feel comfortable in expressing concerns about parts you’re worried about so we can focus on the parts you love. Most people believe they have a best side, and we encourage you to communicate with us on which sides of your body are preferable and comfortable during any given shot. You can trust our professional hair and makeup artists to make sure you’re looking your best at any given angle.
There is nothing to fear when you have such an effective and empathetic team at your disposal. An important element of the process is simply to have fun with the different angles and lighting techniques. If you are more comfortable in darker lit settings, we will design the ambient lighting around you. Natural lighting is a common and often preferred approach to capture your beauty and make things seem less controlled. Feel free to express your feelings regarding light comfort and preference before or during the shoot. Your feedback is invaluable and we want to achieve your desired outcome.
No, You Do Not Have to Get Naked for the Camera
When you show less skin it doesn’t take away from how beautiful or sensual you are, and there are ways to ensure that your natural beauty is brought out without feeling too revealing. Hair and makeup are one of our secrets to highlighting your natural characteristics. Makeup can be one of the most transformative tools, and our makeup artists are skilled in how to use it without caking it on or making you look like a mannequin. If you’re looking for a more modest look, try playing with different styles of clothing, shoes, props or poses. High heels can add a seductive vibe, or wearing his favorite shirt can make your style extra personal.
Brighter colors can also grab attention when not revealing too much as they can draw the eye and compliment your body. Lace and sheer fabrics are good options that contain styles which don’t require you to reveal much skin. We respect your preferences and will work with you to find the suitable style desired. There are many different levels of beauty and just because you aren’t showing much skin doesn’t mean you can’t be incredibly gorgeous and captivating. Let us consult with you and build your confidence without stressing about being too exposed.
Above and Beyond
The first and obvious way to accentuate your natural beauty is to find and apply your complimentary colors. Believe it or not, your unique skin tone works best with a certain palette. Our style and design artists will work with you and recommend colors they think work best. Highlighting your best features comes in handy for a photo shoot and it’s important to take care of the details such as color matching with the eyes. These subtleties are what put the cherry on top if you are dedicated to your personal look. Making your beauty flow naturally is of high priority and it can be easy to overdo it when you’re aspiring to look your best.
A general rule is that less is more, but some instances require a middle ground. Finding the right shade of lipstick or eye shadow may take some time, but it’s important to go with your feelings. An interesting way to highlight your facial features is to go in for a detoxifying spa and sauna treatment routine a couple weeks before the shoot. This will help to purge your body of toxins that may influence the way you look and feel. Many report this as an effective enhancer of the purity of your skin and mood before high energy shooting sessions. It will also loosen the muscles and prepare you for a more relaxing ride when the time arrives to get behind the camera!
