5 Ways to Prepare for Your Chicago Boudoir Shoot

Hey, lucky lady! Preparing for a boudoir shoot can be an exciting and empowering experience. Here are some tips to help you get ready for your boudoir shoot:

1. Choose the right lingerie: Choose lingerie that makes you feel comfortable and confident. It's important to choose lingerie that fits well and complements your body type. Consider choosing different sets of lingerie to have variety in your shoot. I suggest three outfits at minimum.

At Amélie Boudoir, I help clients style their look with the pieces they bring while also mixing in wardrobe selections from the studio when possible.

Hydrate and take care of your skin: Drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin in the days leading up to the shoot. This will help ensure your skin looks its best and has a healthy glow in the photos.

2. Get your beauty rest: Make sure you get a good night's sleep the night before the shoot. Being well-rested will help you feel more relaxed and confident during the shoot.

3. Plan your hair and makeup: Plan your hair and makeup in advance, and consider hiring a professional. Professionals can help you achieve the look you want and ensure your hair and makeup look great in the photos.

4. Bring accessories: Accessories such as jewelry and heels help tell the visual story and change up your look.

5. Practice posing: Spend some time practicing poses that make you feel comfortable and confident. This can help you feel more at ease during the shoot and help you achieve the looks you want.

I give my clients a style and posing guide to help prep them for our time together.

Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and be yourself during the shoot. Relax, have fun, and enjoy the experience! Have any questions? Reach out. I’d love to hear from you!
