Top Tips for Preparing for Your Boudoir Photoshoot

February 20th, 2025

Your boudoir session begins before you step in front of the camera. At Eros in Eden, we plan the experience with you so you can arrive knowing what to expect. You don’t need modeling experience, a perfect wardrobe, or every detail figured out.

 

These simple steps will help you prepare for a session that feels like you.

 

1. Start With a Conversation

During your consultation, tell us what draws you to the experience. Maybe you want to celebrate yourself, create a gift for your partner, or explore something more intimate together. Share your ideas, questions, and any concerns—we’ll help you shape a plan.

 

We’ll also explain the experience and pricing before you book. The consultation is free, with no pressure and no obligation to book.

 

2. Choose Outfits That Feel Like You

Bring pieces you enjoy wearing and feel comfortable moving in. Lingerie is one option; a favorite sweater, an open shirt, a dress, or a meaningful accessory can also help tell your story. Try things on beforehand so you know how they fit and feel.

 

You don’t have to make every choice alone. We offer wardrobe guidance before your session, and Chanel helps with styling during the experience. We’ll talk about the looks you’d love to create and choose outfits together.

 

3. Let Us Help With Hair and Makeup

Professional hair and makeup are included in your experience. We’ll discuss your preferences so your look feels personal, whether you’re drawn to soft and natural or something more glamorous.

 

Follow the preparation guide we send for arrival instructions, including how to prepare your hair and skin. If you have questions or sensitivities you’d like the artist to know about, tell us beforehand.

 

4. Keep Your Preparation Comfortable

Give yourself time to rest, eat, and get ready without rushing. Stick with familiar routines that help you feel comfortable. There’s no need to add a new beauty treatment or change your body for your photographs.

 

Pack your outfits and accessories ahead of time, and wear comfortable clothing for your arrival. We’ll send a prep guide with the details and help with anything you’re unsure about.

 

5. Talk Together if Your Partner Is Joining

Your partner can come as a supportive witness, join a few photographs, or participate more fully in a couples boudoir session. Talk about what each of you is hoping for, then bring those ideas to your consultation.

 

Each person’s comfort and boundaries matter. We plan together, and either of you can pause, change your mind, or skip a suggestion during the shoot.

 

6. Leave Room to Enjoy the Experience

Plan roughly four to five hours from the start of hair and makeup. We’ll confirm your schedule before your session. Your image reveal is usually held by Zoom, with an in-person option if you prefer.

 

It’s okay to arrive feeling nervous. I’ll guide your posing, movement, and expression, while Chanel offers styling support and encouragement. You can ask questions, take breaks, laugh, and settle in at your own pace.
