What to Expect at Your Boudoir Photoshoot: A Step-by-Step Guide

"Bold. Bare. Unapologetically her."

Have you considered doing a boudoir photoshoot,

but feel unsure about what happens during the session? You’re not alone. At Amanda’s Boudoir, we believe in empowering women to feel confident, celebrated, and beautifully seen—every step of the way.

In this blog, we’ll explain exactly what to expect at your boudoir photoshoot so you can arrive feeling prepared, relaxed, and excited for your unforgettable experience.

Step 1: Booking Your Boudoir Session

When you decide to book your boudoir session, the journey begins with a warm phone conversation where we’ll explore your vision, gently ease any nerves, and uncover what you truly wish to feel and celebrate through your experience.

After that, I’ll personally invite you for a coffee—because there’s something beautiful about connecting in person. It allows us to truly feel the vibe, refine your dream session together, and begin crafting an experience that’s as luxurious and unforgettable as you are.

Step 2: Planning Your Dream Shoot

Once you’re officially booked, we’ll send you a beautiful prep guide covering everything from wardrobe tips to how to emotionally and physically prepare. We’ll also plan your outfits and create a mood board to reflect your style—whether that’s soft and romantic or bold and editorial.

Pro Tip: I invite my clients to bring 2 to 3 of their favorite pieces from home—something that makes them feel confident, sexy, or simply themselves. In addition, you’re welcome to explore my curated client closet, filled with sophisticated black lace dresses, handmade luxury headpieces, delicate lingerie, elegant robes, and of course… a crown or two.

And here’s the best part—you’re in safe hands. As a professional stylist as well, I’ll help curate every look so it flatters your body, fits the vibe of your session, and makes you feel absolutely radiant. From textures and cuts to accessories and layering, I’ll guide you in styling pieces that express your unique beauty and power.

Step 3: Professional Hair & Makeup

On the day of your shoot, you’ll be welcomed into our boutique boudoir studio with soft music, warm light, and a glass of something bubbly. Fresh flowers, delicate chocolates, and little luxurious touches await you—because this day is All About You.

Our professional hair and makeup artist will enhance your natural beauty, making sure you feel like your most radiant self.

Why it matters: Feeling pampered, adored, and glamorous sets the tone for your entire session—and it photographs beautifully.

Step 4: The Photoshoot Experience

This is your moment.

You’ll be guided through every pose, every angle, and every breath—no modeling experience needed. Amanda creates a safe, uplifting space where you’re celebrated exactly as you are.

Clients often say they come in nervous and leave on cloud nine. Expect laughter, maybe even happy tears, and a powerful shift in how you see yourself.

Step 5: The Reveal & Image Selection

Within a week or two, you’ll be invited back to the studio (or virtually) for your private photo reveal. You’ll see your images in a cinematic slideshow, and we’ll guide you through selecting your favorite photos for your fine art album, folio box, or wall art.

This is often the most emotional part—seeing yourself with fresh, empowered eyes.

Step 6: Your Confidence, Unlocked

This isn’t just a photoshoot.

It’s a transformational experience that stays with you long after the session ends. Many women come back year after year to mark milestones, celebrate growth, or simply reconnect with themselves.
