Behind the Scenes: What to Really Expect the Day of Your Boudoir Session

Nervous? You’re not alone

We know it’s not every day you show up for a boudoir session. Most of our clients feel a mix of excitement and nerves walking in, which is exactly why we have a system that makes you feel confident, prepared, and totally taken care of from the moment you arrive.

Here’s exactly what to expect the day of your shoot.


Step 1: Let’s Talk Wardrobe

Once you arrive, we’ll sit down and go through the outfits you brought. We’ll help you choose the pieces that will photograph best and match your session style.

Don’t stress about having it all figured out — we’ve got you.

Pro Tip: After your booked you will receive exclusive access to our wardrobe guide that’s full of wardrobe ideas.

Step 2: Model Release Chat

Before we dive in, we’ll talk through our optional model release. You can choose to keep your images totally private or give us permission to share some (or all) of your photos on our social media, website, and marketing materials.

There’s no pressure either way — your comfort and privacy are always the top priority.

Pro Tip: Every woman you have viewed on our website, social media, blogs etc. are all real Adore Girls. You can choose a no-dentity release too, no face.

Step 3: Time to Glam

Now it's time to relax in the makeup chair. You'll get full professional hair and makeup, which takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. While you’re being pampered, we’re customizing your shoot sets to match your wardrobe and overall vibe.

You’ll leave the chair feeling like that girl.

Pro Tip: Our house artist will ask you what ideas you have for your hair and makeup. 99% of the time our girls tell her, “You’re the pro, do what you think is best”.

Step 4: Prep Before We Shoot

Before we start shooting, we’ll explain exactly what to expect during your session. You’ll learn how we guide you into each pose, where to look, how to move, and how to breathe.

We demonstrate every move and cheer you on the entire way.

Pro Tip: When we tell you to breathe through your mouth, that’s the trick for that sultry “sexy look”. We will never tell you to pucker your lips or “look sexy at the camera”.

Step 5: Let’s Have Some Fun

Now we turn up the music and let the magic happen. The nerves disappear, the confidence kicks in, and before you know it, you’re laughing, posing, and feeling like your best self.

This is the part where it all clicks — and yes, the confidence boost is real.

Pro Tip: Trust the process. You are in expert hands.

It’s more than a photoshoot

It’s a celebration of you, a chance to see yourself in a whole new light, and one of the most empowering things you’ll ever do.

We’re here to guide you through all of it — wardrobe, glam, poses, and all the in-between moments too.

If this sounds like something your future self would thank you for, we’d love to see you in the studio.

XOXO,

Lindsey & Jamie
