You booked the shoot. You said yes.
Now you’re wondering… “Wait. What happens on the actual day?!”

Don’t worry, babe—I’ve got you.

What to Expect the Day of Your Boudoir Shoot? Whether you’re driving in from right here in Gaylord, Michigan, or making the trip from somewhere else in Northern Michigan, I want you to walk into your boudoir session knowing exactly what’s going down. No surprises. No guesswork. Just a safe, hype-filled space where you’re about to remember how hot and powerful you really are.

Here’s the full breakdown of what to expect on your boudoir shoot day with me—start to finish:

---

💄 Step 1: You Arrive + Get Glammed Up

First things first—you roll into the studio (probably nervous AF, which is totally normal). I got you.

You’ll be greeted with a warm welcome, good vibes, and a little bubbly or coffee if you want it. This is your time to exhale.

Then it’s time for professional hair and makeup. My artist is the best in the biz and knows how to enhance your features without making you feel overdone. You want glam? We got it. More natural? Yep, we do that too.

👉 Pro tip: Don’t come with anything on your face—fresh, clean skin is best.

🎀 Step 2: Outfit Line-Up + Final Styling

After hair and makeup, we’ll go over all your outfit options (you can bring 3–5). Think:

• Lingerie sets
• Bodysuits
• Robes
• Oversized shirts
• Leather jackets
• Literally anything that makes you feel 🔥

I’ll help you pick the best combos for your vibe and body type, and we’ll match them up with the perfect studio sets.

If you’re feeling stuck on what to bring, the guide you got from me has allll the styling inspo. And yes—you can totally text me pics beforehand if you’re unsure. I love being involved in the outfit decisions. Don’t forget if you booked a full day boudoir experience with me, you also get access to my client closet! I carry sizes XS- 4X so there is definitely something in there for you!

📸 Step 3: The Shoot Begins (And the Nerves Fade Fast)

Let’s be real—you’re gonna feel awkward for the first 10 minutes. Everyone does.

But that fades fast once I start posing you down to the last pinky toe. I guide you every step of the way:

• Where to look
• How to breathe
• What to do with your hands
• When to arch, tilt, smirk, or own it

You don’t have to know what you’re doing. You just have to show up. I’ll do the rest.

You’ll start to loosen up. You’ll laugh. You’ll see a preview shot on the back of my camera and gasp. You’ll realize: oh damn… that’s me.

😍 Step 4: Same-Day Image Reveal

Yep, you read that right—you’ll see your photos the same day.

After the session, you’ll go enjoy lunch on me, while I narrow down the best of the best. Then we sit down together and go through them. You’ll get to:

• See yourself through a whole new lens
• Pick your favorites
• Choose your artwork and album design (I walk you through this part, too)

This isn’t just a photo shoot—it’s a whole experience. From the nerves to the glam to the “holy sh*t that’s me” moment at the reveal… it’s all part of the magic.

💌 Step 5: Your Artwork is Ordered + Delivered with Love

Once you’ve chosen your images, I custom design your artwork (albums, wall art, or both). Everything is professionally printed, delivered with care, and ready to become your favorite f*cking thing you own.

This isn’t something you hide in a drawer. It’s something you celebrate.

You’ll walk away from this day with more than beautiful images. You’ll leave with confidence that lasts. With proof. With a reminder of who the hell you are.

💬 Real Talk: You Don’t Need to Be Ready. You Just Need to Show Up.

You don’t need to:

• Lose 10 lbs
• Know how to “pose sexy”
• Be in a relationship
• Have any experience

You just need to say yes to yourself.

I photograph women from all walks of life here in Gaylord and across Northern Michigan—first-timers, survivors, moms, newly single babes, brides, and every kind of woman in between.

You’re not too old. Not too awkward. Not too much.
You’re exactly right for this.

I truly hope this helps with what to expect the day of your boudoir shoot!
