The Prep Guide

Welcome! You did it! You’re officially booked & this guide is full of tips 7 advice for your boudoir experience.

What to Wear

WARDROBE TIPS:

  • Client Closet: I have a fully stocked closet at the studio that you can utilize. All different sizes from 6XL-XS & for all kinds of vibes. I also have accessories & heels too.

  • THE NUMBER ONE WARDROBE RULE: Do NOT bring outfits that you don't love!

  • Lingerie is NOT a must: Cropped sweater, t-shirt, long flowing skirt or even a leather jacket.

  • Thigh-highs & Stockings: Buy them 1-2 sizes BIGGER than according to the size chart on the back.

WHAT TO WEAR:

  • A Must-have: Bodysuits. Bodysuits look great of every body type & they’re so versatile.

  • A classic choice: A simple matching bra & underwear set. Neutral or deep colors for these sets work very well.

  • Details: Anything with straps, lace, cutouts or textures.

  • Garter Belt Set: Bring on the sexy & confidence! These are perfect for those that want to be more daring but are still a little uncomfortable with their stomach

  • Options in your closet: Oversized sweater, knee socks, t-shirt, flowy skirt or dress with high slit, leather jacket, jean jacket, partner’s button down shirt

Timeline

When to do what

2 WEEKS before

  • If you regularly get your hair cut & colored, this is the time to do it. This allows for any color or cut corrections prior to your session. Don’t use this appointment to experiment with your hair.

  • Try on your outfits & narrow down your choices.

3-5 DAYS before

  • Spend some time stretching in the next few days. Trust me, you’ll be grateful you did. If you’d like to stretch beforehand, here are some great ideas.

  • If you shave or wax, do so 2-3 days before session day.

  • Stay out of the sun to avoid burning/tan lines. SPF is your friend if you must be out.

  • Start compiling your outfits & make sure they still feel good to wear!

THE DAY before

  • Wash & dry your hair.

  • Moisturize your body.

  • No red wine to avoid stained teeth & lips.

  • Try on your outfits one last time & cut out any tags. Make sure your outfits aren't wrinkled.

  • Pack your bag with your outfits, snacks, comfy slippers & anything you want to have with you.

THE DAY OF your session

  • Eat something light but filling.

  • Put on clear deodorant to avoid marks.

  • Wear something loose & comfortable to avoid lines/creases on the skin.

  • Bring your sense of adventure! Yes, you might bring some nervousness with you, but that’s normal. By the time we’re 5 minutes into your session, we’ll be laughing & having fun. Then time will fly by.

Prepayment Plans

Once we get you booked, you’ll be able to choose your perfect collection. You’ll have the option to pay in full for your collection or set up a pre-session payment plan. If you choose to go the payment plan route, I recommend using Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay or Paypal Credit.

If you don’t qualify for any of those options, you can also setup a prepayment plan through Boudoir By Kayla. We’ll break down the remaining balance on your collection into weekly, bi-weekly or monthly payments & schedule them for the months leading up to your session day. This way, when session day arrives, you can focus on being present in the studio! If you want to upgrade at your Reveal, we can also do that too!

FAQs

  • Yes I do. I edit for things like color tone & removing blemishes. I do not manipulate your body though.

  • At your Reveal I’ll ask you if you’d like your images to be kept private, shared anywhere or just share anonymous images. It is your decision & I do not share any work that I do not have explicit permission to do so with.

  • 1-2 weeks after your session, we’ll have your in-studio Reveal where you’ll choose the images for your collection. For out-of-state clients, I offer video Reveals.

  • The only people present for your session are you & me. This ensures there aren’t distractions & that you feel free to be you without worrying about who’s watching.
