So, you want to book a boudoir session but now you are wondering — when should I do it? 

The short answer is do not overthink it. Just get on the calendar.  

Why?

For a lot of women, the idea of cameras and boudoir is intimidating, but once you get on the schedule, you will start to plan with your photographer and relax into the experience. If you are worried about finding the perfect time to book the photoshoot, you may just keep pushing it off.

BUT SINCE YOU ARE HERE, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU CAN CONSIDER

• You don’t want harsh tan lines. So if you are a beach bunny, it’s probably best to book your boudoir session in the fall, winter or spring.
• Don’t wait to lose weight. Good boudoir photographers know how to pose, use lighting, retouching and wardrobe to make you look incredible.
• You don’t need to wait for a special occasion. Most women book boudoir sessions for themselves, and for no reason other than to look and feel incredible.
• If you are going through changes in your life, a boudoir session can be a powerful stop on a transformative journey.
• Women book boudoir to celebrate their marriages, divorces, birthdays, anniversaries and more.
• The best boudoir studios have wardrobe, but if you want to bring you own pieces, you will want to chat with the photographer about what is the most flattering for boudoir photography.

  

IF YOU ARE DOING A BOUDOIR SESSION FOR YOURSELF

The best time to book a boudoir shoot is when you need it the most. You do not need to lose weight or plan ahead, if you book with the right boudoir studio.  The best boudoir photographers will take care of all the planning, wardrobe, hair and makeup so you will look incredible.

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT A BOUDOIR SESSION FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT

The holidays are typically the busiest time of year for photographers. So you will want to plan ahead. The good news is that if you miss the deadline, you always have Valentine’s Day!

IF YOU WANT TO GIFT BRIDAL BOUDOIR AT YOUR WEDDING

Ideally, the best time to book a boudoir shoot for a wedding is at least three months before the big day! You can do it last minute, but bridal boudoir is an experience you want to enjoy. You may want to purchase a special honeymoon lingerie piece to include in a set. Planning ahead will give you plenty of time to think of flirty ideas and make the experience part of the celebration.
