You’ve booked your boudoir makeover & photoshoot at Curves Studios congratulations! You’re about to experience something truly empowering, glamorous, and unforgettable.

One of the most common questions we hear from clients before their session is: “What should I do to get ready?”.

The good news? You don’t need to overthink it but a little preparation can help you feel more confident and make the most of your boudoir experience.

Here’s our expert guide to preparing for your boudoir photoshoot.

1. Plan Your Outfits in Advance

The most important thing to bring to your boudoir session is lingerie or outfits that make you feel amazing. We recommend bringing 3–4 different sets so you have a variety of looks to choose from.

✅ Classic black lace lingerie is always a flattering choice.
✅ Don’t forget about bodysuits they’re elegant and shape-enhancing.
✅ A favourite oversized shirt, silky robe, or corset can add variety.
✅ If you’re feeling bold, bring something colourful or with interesting textures like satin or mesh.

At Curves Studios, we also have a collection of robes, heels, and accessories you’re welcome to use during your session.

2. Take Care of Yourself in the Days Before

Looking and feeling your best starts with a little self-care:

✨ Stay hydrated and moisturise your skin for a natural glow.
✨ Avoid heavy sun exposure or fake tanning right before your session to prevent uneven skin tone.
✨ Shave or wax as you prefer, but give your skin at least a day to calm down if it’s sensitive.
✨ If you’re planning a manicure or pedicure, choose a neutral or classic colour that goes with all your outfits.

3. Get a Good Night’s Sleep

A well-rested you is a confident you. Try to get a full night’s sleep before your shoot so you arrive refreshed and energised.

4. Arrive With a Clean Face & Dry Hair

At Curves Studios, your experience includes a professional hair and makeup makeover, so all you need to do is arrive with:

✅ A clean, makeup-free face
✅ Dry, clean hair
✅ Loose-fitting clothes to avoid marks on your skin

We’ll take care of the rest — enhancing your natural beauty so you’re camera-ready.

5. Relax & Trust the Process

Even if you’re feeling nervous, remember that our team is here to guide you through everything. We’ll show you how to pose, help you feel comfortable, and make sure you look and feel fabulous every step of the way.

We’re experts in working with women of all shapes, sizes, and experience levels so you can just relax and enjoy the experience!

Bonus Tip: Bring a Friend

At Curves Studios, you can even book your friend in for their own boudoir session at a discounted rate. Many clients find it’s more fun (and less nerve-wracking) to share the experience with a friend and you’ll both leave with beautiful images and unforgettable memories.
