Preparing for your Tampa Boudoir Session

Let go of any expectations you may have for this session or yourself.

Push your limits, be vulnerable. You will thank me later.

Listen to Lizzo prior to or during your session.

Hydrate! Drink lots of water before and during your session. I mean A LOT.

Eat before your session. I will have drinks and light snacks, but this will be a workout for you. This is one of the reasons we recommend adding a massage afterward.

Focus on the parts of your body you love.

Get plenty of sleep the week before and especially the night before.

Get a manicure and pedicure. Even if you don’t want to do anything crazy or colorful, you can get a simple clean up and polish.

If you get spray tan, make sure it’s done at least a week out from the session so it wears naturally. We also don’t want our sheets stained. Make sure it does not transfer. If you don’t want tan lines in your photos, don’t have tan lines. :) I can only edit so much.

If you wax, make sure it’s more than a week out.

Uses a gentle exfoliator on your face 2 days before your session. It helps get rid of any dry skin buildup on your face along with giving you a nice glow. Don’t exfoliate the night before or morning of your session.

Bring one pair of nude and one pair of black thongs.

Don’t wear anything too small that cuts into your skin, I always say to size up on panties and make sure your bras fit properly.

Try on outfits, but don’t over think it. Looking at yourself naked in the mirror is sometimes more beneficial.

Can you have a theme? YES!

Raid your own closet and drawers for outfit ideas, sometimes that vintage robe or mustard sweater can look sexy.

Buy yourself at least one sexy lingerie set you love.

Cut all tags out of any clothing you bring.

Remember, nudity and implied (under the sheets etc) is always an option where you don’t need any outfit at all.

Shoes are not required, however, if you feel they will help show your personality and make you look good bring them to your session

Only bring accessories if you want to, if you’re not into it don’t bring them.

Bodysuits have been some of my clients favorite choices.

Only wear clear or nontransferable deodorant so it doesn’t stain outfits or sheets.

I am here to help, so check in with me when you have some ideas picked out.

Trust your artist.

Feel free to have some inspiration photos, but your artist will help create a gorgeous, flawless look.

Come with clean, moisturized skin to prepare for makeup.

Come with clean, dry hair. Washed the day before or day of your session (if you have an oilier scalp). Light product use is ok to use. If you have naturally curly hair, and plan to keep your hair curly for your session, you are welcome to use your products on your hair, prior to your session. If you want your hair curled with hot tools or straight, please straighten before the session.

Bring a robe or soft dress to wear while you’re getting your makeup done. We don’t want lines in your skin from jeans, etc.

Try to sleep well that week and especially the night prior.

If you have any allergies to makeup or food/drink, let me know at least a few days before the session.

YOU ARE WORTHY AND YOU WILL LOVE YOUR EXPERIENCE AND PHOTOS.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME AT OFFBEAT BOUDOIR.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO POSE OR LOOK SEXY, THAT IS MY JOB TO HELP YOU WITH THAT. IF YOU’RE NATURALLY A SEX KITTEN, HELL YEAH FLAUNT THAT SHIT.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO HIT THE GYM HARD BEFORE YOUR SESSION… BUT IF YOU WANT TO JUST BE SAFE ABOUT IT.

COME AS YOU ARE, BE YOU AND DO YOU.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO GAIN OR LOSE WEIGHT, HECK YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO FEEL GREAT ABOUT YOURSELF, BUT YOU WILL. ;)

BE PREPARED TO HAVE FUN AND BE A LITTLE SILLY.

REVEAL AS MUCH AS YOU WANT AND ARE COMFORTABLE WITH, AND REMEMBER, THIS IS FOR YOU AND ONLY YOU EVEN IF YOU GIVE SOMEONE A GIFT OF AN ALBUM.
