Okay, so you’ve booked your session… NOW WHAT?!
Here’s some things you can do at before your sesh to ensure you’re pampered & glowing AF!
HAIR appointment: Pamper yourself, but honestly, don’t try anything new! Stick to what you know! PRO TIP: Don’t go crazy & get bangs or a crazy color if you’ve never had them! You’ll regret this in your images!
DIY Sugar Scrub: If you suffer from dry, flaky skin or rough skin, or just want to exfoliate your body… a sugar scrub is a super easy at home project! 2 parts brown sugar + one part coconut oil, and a drop of your favorite essential oil will have your skin glowing in no time. If you use a citrus oil, make sure to use lots of SPF if you go outside!
MOISTURIZE! If you think you’ve done enough, do a little more. Fragrance free lotions will lend lots of moisture without the drying effects of perfume/fragrance. Avoid anything with sparkle or self tanner as these don’t photograph as well.
HYDRATE! Drink your water, babes! I know you are out here surviving on iced coffee (cause same!) But I challenge you to go get a glass of water THIS SECOND! Then come back to this blog post… Your skin and body will thank you!
Shaving/Waxing/Sugaring: This is completely personal preference! If you like to go natural, rock it. If you like to wax- get waxed with plenty of time for your skin to relax from the redness of the initial wax (2-3 days at least) If you like to shave- use shaving cream and something hydrating after to avoid razor bumps! You know your skin! Don’t do anything drastic!
Sheet Masks: We LOVE a sheet mask for that extra dewy hydrated glow! Grab your favorite and do it the night before your session. AGAIN: Do NOT try anything new (are you seeing a pattern here?!) because the last thing you want is an adverse reaction!
SLEEP! Get a good 8 hours of rest before your session. Puffy eyes and stressed skin are no fun. Plus you want to feel full of energy for your session for all the lovely posing you’ll be getting yourself into!
Don’t Stress: Listen, sometimes we do everything right and we wake up with a little friend on our face or a bump on our booty cheek. Don’t worry. All of our images receive a light professional retouch! We won’t send you home with an album starring your latest zit. We got you, girl!
Hopefully we didn’t forget anything. What was your favorite way to prep for your sesh?!

Q: Think deeply for these questions… Why did you choose to do a Boudoir Session?
A: I chose to do a boudoir session when I needed to see my body differently. I needed to learn to love my body and I needed to see how beautiful my body truly is. I worked really hard on my fitness about 6 months prior and I kept in the back of my mind that I need to get the “perfect figure” prior to going to my session. Of course I fell off the wagon a few times, stress in life, etc.
Q: What were your thoughts before booking the Boudoir by Billie Experience?
A:I was discouraged when I woke up that morning and my session was here and I wasn’t “ready”. I then realized when I put on that first outfit in that studio and I was obsessing over my body that I was already perfect. I didn’t need to “perfect” myself anymore. I needed to love my body and love myself. The studio is such an empowering environment and no one should ever worry about being “ready” for their appointment. You’re ready now, just as you are. We are beautiful babes.
Q: How did you feel BEFORE your session V.S. how you felt DURING / AFTER the Experience?
A: Before the session I was scared. I was nervous to dress in outfits in front of strangers and have my photos shared. I was scared that I would see stretch marks, cellulite, imperfections. During the session I had this sense of empowerment. After the first pose and Billy was hyping me up, I felt like I could rock the session. I felt like I could do any pose and it be such a beautiful image. But don’t discredit the workout that session was 😜. I was exhausted by the end! Lol. After the session, I felt so beautiful. I felt so amazing and I was on this high. I couldn’t wait to see my images and I just wanted to work with Billy again soon!! She is such an amazing woman, along with Marissa. They are your best hype people. They are in your corner, cheering you on and complimenting you, no matter what you see in yourself.
Q: How did you feel when you saw your photographs for the very first time?
A: My jaw dropped. I was amazed at what she was able to produce. I never saw myself that way before and it was amazing to see those images!
Q: What was your favorite part about the whole EXPERIENCE?
A: The confidence booster. I felt like I needed to workout to keep my endorphins pumping, have a sense of accomplishment that I can do hard things. I didn’t need to workout to be beautiful anymore. I didn’t need to change my body to look a certain way.
Q: Did a boudoir session with Billie change the way you see yourself?
A: Yes!! 100%
Q: What do you say to anyone thinking about booking a session?
A: DO IT! Don’t hesitate. It’s so worth it. The cost can be scary but the payment plan is worth the way you feel after!

Q: Think deeply for these questions… Why did you choose to do a Boudoir Session?
A: I had considered it a long time before booking a session, it came down to I wanted some thing specifically for me. To remind me how beautiful I am. Inside and out!
Q: What were your thoughts before booking the Boudoir by Billie Experience?
A: I didn’t feel like I would have many troubles feeling comfortable, but of course there was some level of uncertainty if I would be able to feel like myself.
Q: How did you feel BEFORE your session V.S. how you felt DURING / AFTER the Experience?
A: Before I felt pretty down, even though I knew I was gonna be pampered with hair and makeup I was depressed from life situations. During I felt amazing! Both ladies did a wonderful job chatting with me making me feel comfortable and beautiful! After I was on cloud nine, a totally attitude adjustment for me!
Q: How did you feel when you saw your photographs for the very first time?
A: Bills showed me “sneak peaks” during the session and I gave permission to use any images on the social platforms. And I remember repeating to myself “That isn’t me!” I was in shock when I saw the reveals. They were so stunning.
Q: What was your favorite part about the whole EXPERIENCE?
A: How much support I received from both ladies, and the comments and likes that the sneak peaks got on social platforms. We all love a few compliments!
Q: Did a boudoir session with Billie change the way you see yourself?
A: Yes very much so, I’ve always struggled with self image and accepting I am okay in my own skin. Now I see myself from everyone else’s perspective more and I love it!
Q: What do you say to anyone thinking about booking a session?
A: Do it! Don’t overthink, don’t second guess yourself. You are beautiful the way you are!
