Prior to your Session

A consultation is scheduled before each session to discuss your ideas for poses, wardrobe and preferred location. This consultation can be either in person or via phone and ensures a better portrait session by discussing your preferences prior to your boudoir session.

Hair & Make-up

Many ladies are very good at doing their own hair and make-up but there are other options available. Salons and department store make-up counters are good resources and My Beauty Shots has our own on staff hair and make-up artist who we work with on a regular basis. Either way be sure to let whoever you hire know that you’re having a photo shoot done as your make-up will need to be a bit darker than you normally wear it.

Body Image & Weight

Most women (myself included) don’t have bodies like a super model but that doesn’t mean that we can’t have gorgeous, sexy photos! A good photographer will know just how to highlight your assets while disguising the parts of you that you’re self conscious about. Just remember… your significant other loves you just the way you are.

Pick A Theme

Fashion inspired – Your sexiest outfits. Career inspired – Business Suits, Police Uniforms, Firefighter Turnouts, Doctor Coats, Construction Belts, etc… 40s Pinup is back in style and is “oh so sexy”. Several online retailers carry pinup inspired clothing.

Clothing Choices

Bring clothing that you feel sexy and beautiful in. Bras, panties, corsets, teddies, stockings, tank tops, booty shorts, sports jerseys & men’s business shirts are all popular. Don’t forget to bring accessories for each of your outfits as well as your sexiest shoes.

Modesty & Nudity

You don’t have to take your clothes off to be sexy. Clothed, partially clothed, implied nudity and fully nude can all be very sexy. Let us know what you’re comfortable showing in your photos and trust us to keep the parts you want hidden to stay that way.

Retouching

We do it for our professional model clients – we’ll be glad to do it for you! All of your images will be hand edited to ensure that you look your absolute best!!! (Ever see a celebrity without great lighting and makeup?) What professional models have that most women lack is a super positive attitude. Bring that and you’ll look great!!

Privacy

Privacy is a concern due to the intimate nature of boudoir sessions. All boudoir images are kept in strict confidence and no images will be shown without permission from the client in writing. We use only professional labs and album companies that safeguard the privacy of our client’s images.

Girlfriends Sessions

You and three to four of your best girlfriends can get together and do your sessions at the same time. These can be done at the studio, your home or in a local hotel and are a guaranteed giggle-fest. Arrange for someone to come and do your hair and make-up, have our professional stylist come in for your session, do your own or do each others. Each of you will be photographed individually as you are dressed (or undressed) and ready. Be sure to have some food and drinks handy as it can make for a long but very fun day. At the end when everyone is dressed I take a group shot to commemorate the session.

Couples sessions

We also offer couples sessions. These sessions are romantic, sensual, playful, fun and always tasteful. Typically these sessions show you and your significant other cuddling, kissing and being playful in addition to photos of each of you individually. I let my clients who are interested in this type of session know the perfect time to do it is when they plan a weekend ‘away’ at a local hotel. No dishes to be done, no dinner to be made, no kids or pets needing attention – just the two of you away from all of life’s distractions for a photo session and a weekend of fun.

Where to do your session

Your session can be done at our loft studio, your home, a local hotel, bed and breakfast and even outside in a private or secluded area. We can discuss your options at the time of scheduling.

Tips for the morning of your session

Drink lots of water and wear loose fitting clothing. Avoid tight fitting undergarments as they are the most likely to leave pressure lines on your skin.

Tips for after your session

Getting into and holding some of the most flattering poses can give you a surprise work-out so don’t be surprised if you’re a little sore that evening or the morning after. Be sure to drink lots of water and take a little ibuprofen if needed.
