STEP BY STEP

01/Your wardrobe

What to wear

Most clients bring 2 to 3 outfit options. We help you choose before your session, so bring more than you need if you’re unsure.

  • Lingerie
  • A bodysuit
  • A silk robe
  • An oversized sweater or shirt
  • Heels that make you feel powerful

What to bring

  • Jewelry you love and your favourite perfume
  • Something sentimental, like a partner’s shirt
  • Your photo ID

Getting ready

  • Come with clean, moisturized skin. Soft skin photographs beautifully.
  • If you’ve added hair and makeup, arrive with a clean face and clean, dry hair. We handle the rest.
  • Wear something loose and soft on the way, so straps and waistbands don’t leave marks.
  • Eat beforehand and bring water. You’ll be moving more than you think.

On the day

Your session is in our private home studio in St. Albert. The exact address comes to you after booking, to protect everyone’s privacy. Feeling nervous is completely normal. That feeling lasts about 10 minutes, and by your second look you’ll forget we’re even there. You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s our job. We guide every pose: where to put your hands, how to tilt your chin, everything.

05/Good to know

A few things before you come

  • Bring government-issued photo ID. Every boudoir client must be 18 or older.
  • You’re always in control. You can pause or stop at any time, and say no to any pose.
  • Please come sober, so you feel fully present and safe.
  • Guests, children and pets can’t join the session unless we’ve arranged it ahead of time.
  • Your photos stay private. Your agreement asks how you’d like them used, if at all, and we never share an image without your written permission.
