By Dauntless Boudoir

Welcome to Your Boudoir Journey

You’ve taken a bold and beautiful step toward celebrating yourself through the art of boudoir photography. Whether you're marking a milestone, reigniting self-love, or doing this just because—this experience is all about you.

At Dauntless Boudoir, we specialize in elegant, empowering photography designed to highlight your unique beauty and strength. This guide will walk you through everything you need to prepare for your shoot so you arrive confident, radiant, and ready to shine.

Prep Timeline: Your Road to Radiance

2 Weeks Before

Book any beauty appointments (hair touch-ups, waxing, manicure/pedicure). Begin curating your outfit collection—choose pieces that make you feel amazing. Start drinking extra water daily for glowing, hydrated skin.

1 Week Before

Confirm your session time and shoot location. Try on all outfits—check fit, comfort, and feel.

Begin daily moisturizing, especially arms and legs.

If using the studio wardrobe, bring a nude or neutral thong and strapless bra.

Day Before

Pack your session bag: outfits, accessories, water, and snacks. Get a good night’s rest to feel refreshed.

Avoid new skincare products or treatments to prevent reactions.

What to Bring: Outfit & Styling Checklist

Bring 3–5 outfit options that make you feel confident and sexy:

Lingerie & Layers

Bodysuits, corsets, bralettes, matching sets, high-waisted panties Button-down shirt, leather jacket, cozy robe, oversized sweater

Shoes & Accessories

Heels, boots, thigh-highs, jewelry, or special statement pieces Sentimental items like a partner’s shirt, wedding veil, or keepsakes

Optional

Any favorite pieces in rich textures (lace, satin, mesh)

Pro Tips:

Choose styles that highlight your favorite features. Mix fitted and flowing pieces for visual variety.

Don’t overpack—we’ll help you narrow it down for maximum impact.

How to Prep: Head to Toe

Moisturize daily the week before (especially legs and elbows). Hair removal (if desired) should be done 24–48 hours prior.

Touch-up hair color or polish nails if that’s your thing.

Avoid tight clothing (bras, socks, watches) the day of to prevent skin marks. Eat light & hydrate the day before and morning of.

Wear loose, comfy clothes to your session—button-downs work great.
