1. Communicate your preferences and goals with your photographer. If you have specific preferences, let them know what poses, outfits, and bonus sets you're interested in, as well as any concerns or hesitations you may have.
2. Come prepared with a variety of outfits and accessories. Bring a few different lingerie sets, as well as any jewelry, shoes, or props you'd like to incorporate into your photos. (Don't worry you will also have access to the client closet, if you don't bring anything) Make sure your outfits are steamed and tags are cut out, so you can be ready to go. 
3. Take care of yourself before the session. Get plenty of rest the night before, eat a light meal before the shoot, and hydrate throughout the day.
4. Trust your photographer and embrace the experience. Remember that boudoir photography is meant to celebrate your beauty and sensuality, and that your photographer is there to guide you and make you feel comfortable.

With some preparation and communication, you can make the most of your boudoir session and create stunning images that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
