Boudoir Photography Prep Tips: How to Feel Confident and Camera-Ready

Preparing for your boudoir session should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, a little prep goes a long way in helping you feel empowered, relaxed, and ready to shine. At Chérie Amour Boudoir, we believe every woman deserves to feel beautiful in her own skin—and these simple tips will help you do just that.

1. Wear What Makes You Feel Amazing

This isn’t about trends or what you think you should wear. Choose lingerie or outfits that make you feel powerful, beautiful, and confident. Your energy will shine through in every shot.

2. Hydrate and Moisturize

Start drinking plenty of water the day before your session and moisturize your skin the night before. Soft, hydrated skin photographs beautifully—just avoid oily products the morning of your shoot.

3. Get Rest and Stretch It Out

Give your body some love by getting a good night’s sleep and doing a few gentle stretches in the morning. It will help you feel calm, grounded, and confident in your body.
