How to Prepare for Your Columbia SC Boudoir Session

So, you just booked a Columbia, South Carolina boudoir session with us here at Jessica Hunt Photography, and now you’re ready to prepare for your experience! Don’t worry, just like with everything else within our Columbia, SC boudoir experience, we got you! Today I’m going to walk you through a few steps of how to prepare for your Columbia, SC boudoir session.

Reasons to have boudoir photos taken

Before you do anything else to prepare for your Columbia, SC boudoir session, I want to encourage you to begin with some mental preparation. Loving yourself out loud and investing in an intimate boudoir experience is a radical act of self-love.It’s an act of self acceptance that can bring you a ton of joy and help build your confidence, both of which are great reasons to have boudoir photos taken.

But before you get into the studio, you might need some of that joy and confidence, too!

The Columbia, SC Boudoir Journey

The journey to learning how to love yourself is not an easy one, and I’ll never claim that participating in a boudoir session in Columbia, South Carolina will be a ‘fix all’ for you on your journey to love and accept yourself. But I know for sure that it absolutely will be a positive step in the right direction for you. I often suggest to my Jessica Hunt boudoir clients before their session that they photograph themselves intimately or nude prior to our session together to help normalize the way their body looks to them and to get used to having a camera around when you have less than everything on!

Participate in Self Love

Getting your heart and mind ready for a Columbia, SC boudoir portrait session is one of the most important steps you can take in preparing for your boudoir experience. I want to encourage you from the moment that you begin thinking about booking a Columbia, SC boudoir photography session or after you book your session to constantly remind yourself to participate in inner self talk about how wonderful, radiant, and confident you are.

Prepare your mind to love and accept yourself in a way that maybe you haven’t before and allow all of the nerves that you may or may not feel feel slip away with the confidence in knowing that you’ve booked your Columbia, South Carolina photography boudoir session with the best team possible.

Columbia, SC Boudoir Closet

After you have started working on controlling any negative self-talk and your mental journey to love and accept yourself more, the next step to prepare for your Columbia, SC boudoir session should be looking for and possibly purchasing a few intimate outfits that you absolutely adore and feel incredible in! I know shopping for lingerie can be tough, and you can always count on falling back on our Columbia, South Carolina client boudoir closet for outfits. But, I want to encourage you to look for pieces that really speak to you! Some of my favorite sites to find gorgeous lingerie shops are fashionable Fashion Nova, Shien, Fenty x Savage, and Thistle and Spire.

Hydration is HOT!

So you’ve been working and loving yourself and accepting how you look at any and every moment, you shopped for a few stunning outfits that make you feel like a million bucks, and now it’s the week before your Columbia, South Carolina boudoir photography session! The week leading up to your session is when I suggest even more of the positive self-talk and photographing yourself nude to continue to normalize your body and how you appear intimately to yourself.

I also suggest that my clients stay aware of what you’re eating leading up to your session and make sure that you’re fueling your body with things that make you feel good. Another great suggestion is to ensure that you are hydrating properly the days leading up to your session because most Columbia, SC boudoir sessions are a bit like yoga!
You will be stretching, posing, and moving around a lot during our time together in the J Hunt bodies studio, so hydration is key! I’d also suggest that the morning of your session you wake up a little bit early, do some light stretching, and prepared to treat yourself for the whole day.

The Day is yours for the taking

The last way to prepare for your Columbia, SC boudoir session is by planning your entire boudoir photography session day! I suggest that my clients use their Columbia, SC boudoir session experience as an excuse to give yourself an entire day of self-love! However that looks to you, that’s what I want you to do on the day of your session.
Either in the morning or after your Columbia, SC boudoir session, however you enjoy spending your time and relaxing is what I would encourage you to do. Plan to have the whole day off! Maybe even take yourself out to your favorite spot for lunch after we finish shooting. You’ll have full hair and makeup, so maybe even plan a fun girl’s night with some drinks with your girls or a date with your partner.
