Boudoir Photo Shoot Essentials
Have you schedule to book your
boudoir photo shoot
yet? For those that have the day is coming up around the corner.......marked your
calendar. There is nothing to worry about the day of the shoot. It is
a full day of living the glamorous life filled with royalty treatment
where you are the star. Your hair, makeup and styling are previously
planned and ready to be implemented upon arrival. However, what are you
personally responsible for? What are you supposed to wear to the
shoot? Should you bring accessories? Should you be prepared with under
wardrobe necessities? Here is a basic outline regarding what to bring
to your
boudoir shoot.
What to Wear to Your Boudoir Glamour Photo Shoot
The
best thing to wear is a button down shirt ensuring your make-up and
hair will not be muddled during wardrobe changes. This helps for once
the make-up and hair is completed, you are able to switch out of your
clothes easily without messing up the final look. The photographer will
be thankful and so will the
professional makeup and hair stylist.
In
addition, wear loose clothing to your shoot. Do not wear any jeans
that may leave markings on your body from the lines in the denim. Also,
do not wear workout-training outfits for they sometimes leave markings
on your waist and/or your stomach from the elastic. Wear something that
will not leave any skin marks, irritations or traces upon your body.
Remember, you want your skin to appear flawless. Of course, it can be
tweaked to achieve during post-production. However, you want to provide
your post-production designers with the advantage of working with a
nearly perfect canvas.
What to Pack to Your Shoot
Bring
invisible undergarments to wear with the wardrobe styling chosen. You
do not want certain areas to show that are not meant to be seen. If you wish to bring specific accessories,
jewelry, and/or cosmetics, then bag it. If you are unsure about using
it, bring it anyways. You can never be too prepared.
Do Not Wear Make-Up
If the
boudoir shoot includes a
professional make-up artist,
then go with a clean face. Do not put any cosmetics and/or tinted
moisturizer on. If you do, it takes time away from your session due to
the professional having to remove it all. It is suggested to come with a
clean slate for the
make-up artist to reinvent your desired look from scratch.
Bring Extra Shoes
According
to the achieved look, bring the appropriate shoes to complete it. In
addition, pack extra shoes. You never know what may occur with shoes in
regards to the heel. Furthermore, if the shoes hurt halfway through
the session then have an alternative option available with you.
Plan on Arriving Early
Leave the house early the day of the
boudoir shoot. You do not want to arrive frantic and stressed from dealing with
traffic for these emotions may carry over into your pictures. You want
your images to relay a positive energy not a strenuous facial and body
expression. Your body should be relaxed and not tense. Thus, depart in
advance ensuring you arrive promptly or prior to schedule. Leaving the
house with plenty of time to spare will prevent that from occurring.
Enjoy the Photo Shoot
This
is a day designated just for you. It is produced to be catered for you. Thus, enjoy it to the fullest. It is the one time where you
do not have to worry about your cell phone ringing, co-workers driving
you insane, the kids screaming, and a significant other constantly
badgering you to find your keys. A
boudoir shoot is about you. Embrace the your time
behind it and channel your inner sensual diva making the photograph a complete success.
