Welcome & Prep Guide below!
The Welcome & Prep Guide goes over everything you need to know for your upcoming Boudoir Experience with Pillow Talk Studios
Lets get Started!
Hair & Makeup
Your Choice: You’re welcome to do your own or request our list of recommended hair & makeup artists. Services can be provided in studio with enough notice.
Find Inspiration: Explore the Pillow Talk Studios website or search for “boudoir makeup” on Pinterest for ideas.
Be You: Whether you prefer a natural look or full glam, we want you to feel comfortable in your own skin. Makeup is entirely optional, and we love photographing both natural and glam clients.
Laser, Shaving, Waxing
Laser Hair Removal:
Takes 6–10 treatments to become permanent.
Schedule 2–3 weeks before your session to allow for hair shedding and smooth skin.
Waxing:
Brazilian, bikini, or underarm wax: 5–7 days before your session.
Brow wax: About a week before avoid irritation.
Shaving: Do it the night before or morning of your session for best results.
Manicure & Pedicure
Nail Appointments: Schedule a manicure and pedicure a couple of days before your session. Choose neutral or solid colors that complement your outfits; avoid neons or bright shades.
Press-On Nails: If gel or acrylic isn’t an option, try press-on nails from Walmart, Sally’s, or London Drugs. Apply them before the session and bring adhesive glue for touch ups.
DIY Nails: Skip professional services if they’re not your style. Instead:
Fingernails: Cut, file, and ensure they’re clean.
Feet: Use a pumice stone for smooth skin.
Reminder: Your toes will be visible in the shoot, so don’t forget to show them some love!
What to Wear
Wardrobe Responsibility: Outfits are your responsibility for your session.
Shopping Tips:
Visit local lingerie stores and mention it’s for a boudoir shoot; staff are there to help.
Avoid sites like AliExpress or Wish due to unreliable quality and shipping.
Recommended stores: Shein, Amazon, Romwe, Adam & Eve, Yandy (read reviews before buying).
Outfit Recommendations:
Choose form fitting lingerie like bodysuits, teddies, bralette/panty sets, or high waisted options.
Non lingerie ideas: crop tops, flowing dresses, winter sweaters, or knee high socks.
Avoid shapeless outfits like baby dolls or slips; they don’t enhance your curves.
Accessories & Personal Touches:
Add stockings, jewelry, wedding accessories (veil, shoes, ring), or a meaningful item from your partner (jersey, dress shirt, etc.).
Preparation: Remove tags from outfits beforehand to save time and ensure they aren’t missed during the shoot.
Skincare: Sunburn, Tanning, Tattoos & Piercings
Tattoos & Piercings: Avoid getting new ones before your session to prevent risks like infection, swelling, or rejection that could impact your shoot.
Routine Changes: Don’t introduce new skincare products within two weeks of your session to avoid allergic reactions or breakouts.
Spray Tans:
To ensure the highest quality results and the preservation of our studio environment, professional or at home spray tans are not permitted for boudoir sessions. While a sun-kissed glow is beautiful in person, it presents several challenges for professional photography:
Skin Texture & Posing: Professional lighting and high-resolution cameras often pick up artificial pigments as unnatural orange tones. Furthermore, tanning products frequently settle or "streak" in the creases of the body during posing, which is highly visible in the final portraits.
Post Production: If a session proceeds with a spray tan that requires extensive digital "skin evening" or color correction, additional retouching fees will be incurred.
Studio Integrity: Spray tan formulas transfer easily to luxury furniture, delicate linens, and specialty rugs. Please be advised that the client is financially responsible for the cleaning or replacement costs of any studio property damaged or stained by tanning products.
For the best results, it is recommended to arrive with your natural skin tone, well moisturized and hydrated.
Sun Exposure: Avoid sunburns, peeling skin, or bold tan lines—they’re difficult or impossible to edit out.
Editing Notice: Additional charges may apply for extensive body altering edits; full terms are in your contract.
Week of your Session
Pack & Plan Ahead: Double check your bag to ensure you’ve packed everything you need. Know the location and plan your route to avoid last minute stress.
Hydration & Skincare: Stay hydrated, moisturize your skin (including lips), and clean any jewelry you plan to wear for a polished look.
Stretch & Rest: Boudoir poses can be physical! Stretch daily leading up to your session. Get a good night’s sleep to avoid puffy eyes.
Healthy Habits:
Night Before: Eat a light, healthy dinner and avoid alcohol or late night partying. If shaving, do it now for smooth skin.
Day Of: Eat a light meal before your session, wear loose fitting clothes to avoid pressure marks, and use clear deodorant.
Final Tips: Arrive with a fresh face and no hair products if you’re doing your own prep. Most importantly…relax and enjoy your special day!
Day of your Session
Your experience is designed to give you stunning images in a focused photoshoot. Here's how it works:
Arrival & Outfits
Once you arrive, we’ll quickly review your outfits and decide which one to start with. Refer to your digital consultation or contract to know your outfit limit. Come fully prepared and ready to go. Any hair & makeup touch ups will take away time from your session.
The Session
The clock will start, and you’ll be amazed at how much we can achieve during your session! I’ll guide you through a range of poses, from simple and elegant to spicy and smouldering. You don’t need to worry about a thing; posing, facial expressions, and even the tiniest details (like what to do with your hands or toes!) are all my job.
Before you know it, the session will fly by, leaving you on a high note and ready to grab a coffee or lunch while I stay back to proof edit your photos.
Image Reveal
Once your session wraps, I’ll complete a quick proof edit of your images. When you return, you’ll get to view your proofing gallery of 40 - 60 images. Together, we’ll go through your favorites, narrowing down your selection and choosing which images or products to purchase.
After final selections, you’ll receive an invoice, and upon payment, I’ll fully retouch your chosen images. Final delivery takes approx 4 - 6 weeks for digital images and up to 12 weeks for printed products.
Payment Options
We accept Cash, E-Transfer, and Credit (Credit transactions are subject to processing fees).
All purchases are subject to tax.Product Orders
If you order products, they’ll be sent to print after your final approval of edits. Items can be drop-shipped to your home or picked up from Pillow Talk Studios in Vernon.
