What to Expect for Your Boudoir Session
What to expect for your Boudoir Session
The power of a boudoir session
Boudoir isn’t just about lingerie or looking “sexy” for the camera. It’s about stepping into your confidence and seeing yourself the way the people who love you already do. It’s a space to feel beautiful, powerful, and fully in your own skin, without pressure to be anything other than you. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, reclaiming your body, or simply doing something just for yourself, a boudoir session is one of the most empowering ways to tell your story.
What can I expect the day of my session?
Expect to feel amazing by the time you walk out of your session. Boudoir sessions with me are relaxed, fun, and completely judgment-free. I’ll guide you through everything. From what to wear and how to prep, to flattering poses and natural prompts so you never have to worry about what to do with your hands or how to “look sexy.” Expect lots of encouragement, a comfortable pace, and a space where you can feel confident, celebrated, and fully yourself.
What should I bring with me?
Depending on the package selected we recommend bringing a minimum of 4 outfits. The more, the better! You might only use 3-4, but having options helps!
1.) Lingerie, cheeky underwear looks best paired with thigh highs, and heels! Believe it or not SHEIN has great options for all sizes. Always read the reviews before purchasing. And order early! They can take up to 3 weeks for delivery.
2.) Heels! Black, nude, red, boots etc. Doesn’t matter, bring them! They will elevate your entire look and helps with posture. Plus, you’ll love the way your booty looks in heels!
3.) Ideas: A bodysuit (super flattering and easy to pose in). An oversized button-up shirt or sweater (cozy + sexy) with knee length socks. A matching bra + panties set with a robe. Something edgy/fun, leather jacket, corset, sheer pieces (think . Short denim short with cowboy boots and a cat. Leather is always a great idea! Bridal
4.) Something personal: his jacket, a jersey, or a meaningful item
5.) Bridal boudoir? Bring a veil, white lingerie, and heels. Make sure your engagement ring is clean. (toothpaste and a toothbrush work wonders to clean your ring)
6.) Good idea to bring a pretty robe for in-between outfit changes.

Boudoir doesn’t always mean Lingerie
We’ll shoot multiple looks so bring anything, from your lovers favorite jersey or that sexy black dress you have sitting in the back of your closet. We offer our clients access to our exclusive client closet. BUT we do not suggest relying on it for your session. We have a handful of fun items we can include in your session, such as black angel wings, robes and more. You definitely want to bring items you feel good in. With the option to sprinkle in items from the client closet.
We need to prepare!
Prepping before your boudoir shoot makes a huge difference. Not because you need to look a certain way, but because it helps you feel confident and relaxed when you walk in. A little planning (outfits, nails, skincare, and the small details) takes the stress out of the experience so you can stay present and enjoy it. The more prepared you feel, the easier it is to let go, have fun, and step fully into that “this is for me” energy.
What can I do to prep?
What if I don’t know how to pose or what to do?
Girl, don’t worry! I’ve literally got you. I will make sure you look incredible as I walk you through the whole session. As a plus size girly, I know all the best angles and poses to help you look and feel your best. However, be prepared to work. Because holding a pose while arching your back is a literal work out. I recommend stretching before your session.
What can I do with my photos after the session?
Putting your photos into an album is a great way to commemorate your session. You can gift it to your significant other too. We have album sizes ranging from 5×5 to 12×12. With choices of linen, leather or suede covers. We also offer framed, canvas or metal printed options with our gallery delivery. You can purchase gifts, prints, and more through your personalized online gallery.
How long will it take to receive my images?
Your edited images will be delivered within 3-4 weeks of your session.
Where can we see more of your work?
We have a ladies only Instagram account. @pixelsafterdark
The Beauty of Boudoir
At the end of the day, boudoir is so much more than a photoshoot—it’s an experience. It’s about confidence, connection, and giving yourself permission to feel beautiful exactly as you are. Whether you’re doing this to celebrate a milestone, reclaim your power, or simply try something new, you deserve to be photographed in a way that feels bold, timeless, and completely you. If you’re ready to take the leap, I’d love to create something unforgettable together
