So you are thinking about a boudoir photo shoot
Maybe you’re getting married and want to give a special wedding gift. Maybe you just reached a personal goal, you lost weight, got that promotion, an anniversary or having a birthday ending in 0. Whatever brought you here, a boudoir session with Gary A Photography will give you a newfound confidence and you’ll be recharged with energy and joy. Your self-esteem will skyrocket. Gary A Photography will show you just how beautiful and sexy you really are.
But you have some concerns...
You say: “I’m nervous.”
Gary A: I know, everyone is on their first shoot. We have ways to relax and energize you at the same time. Nothing is over posed or forced. We laugh and joke around. Our goal is to make you look cool, fun, sexy and beautiful.
You say: “No one other than my husband has seen me in my lingerie”
Gary A: I understand it’s a very personal thing but we are professionals here and there will always be a female present in the room. Let me reassure you. After our session, and you see your images, you will have a renewed confidence and appreciation of yourself. You will leave empowered and addicted. I have many clients that have returned for second and third shoots.
You say: “I don’t know what to do or how to pose.”
Gary A: Don’t worry that’s what I’m here for.
You say: “I need to lose 10 lbs., my complexion is bad, or other insecurities you might have.”
Gary A: Whatever it is I can fix that with lighting, positioning and editing. I didn’t take the photo but years ago I saw a nude that was absolutely stunning, it turns out the model was missing her left arm and right breast. With the proper lighting and positioning anything is possible.
You say: “I’m bad at taking photos.”
Gary A: Well, it’s a good thing I’m taking them instead of you

Here are some tips for finding looks that will enhance the wonderfulness, sensuality and natural prettiness of you during your shoot:
Visualize the clothing, sexy heels, accessories and props you will want to wear for your shoot. Flip through your favorite fashion magazines to discover ways to pair colors, fabrics and styles for easy runway glamour.
Shop your closet for the items you instinctively select when you want to feel (and look) your very best. Let your imagination roam!
Grab a style-savvy and fun-loving friend and hit women’s fashion boutiques to hunt down an ensemble that not only flatters your figure, but also makes you feel comfortable, unquestionably beautiful and relaxed.
Pick out lingerie that highlights your every lovely curve, but please remember sometimes a tight T-shirt, soft sweater or over-sized button-down shirt can be even sexier. Let your own personality shine through.
No prints – keep it simple. White, Black, or Red change it up not all the same color.
Bring a cocktail outfit, your husbands white dress shirt and don’t forget some high heels.
Bring something meaningful to you or your significant other; this serves as a great way to personalize your shoot. It may be lingerie your husband gave you on your first anniversary, for instance, or a vintage charm bracelet you found on a scouting expedition while on vacation.
How to prepare for your photo shoot
Five Days Before Your Shoot…
If you wax, do so a few days before your shoot to avoid any bumpiness or redness.
- Make sure your eyebrows are nicely shaped and groomed.
- If you’re planning to visit the salon for a haircut or color, then give yourself a few days to make sure you are happy with it.
- Be sure to get a salon manicure and pedicure for a flawless finish.
- Stay out of the sun – while a base tan will be nice in photos, red, blotchy skin will not.
- PLEASE – DO NOT SPRAY TAN.
- Drink plenty of water for luminous skin.
- Lower your salt intake and avoid alcohol if you’re worried about retaining water.
- Try on your outfits and lingerie to make sure they fit properly; remove all tags and labels. Steam or iron your ensembles and hang them properly so they keep their shape as you travel to the studio.
The Day Before Your Shoot…
Bathe, shave and moisturize.
- Double-check everything is properly packed and ready for the shoot: heels, jewelry, accessories, any props you are bringing.
- Allow yourself plenty of time to get to the studio without stressing. Check weather and traffic reports to ensure you have allotted enough time for unexpected delays.
- Enjoy a relaxed, quiet evening.
- Plan for a good night’s sleep – eight hours is ideal.
The Day of Your Shoot…
Use clear deodorant please.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing to your session to avoid red marks on your skin (no jeans, tight socks or tight clothing, for instance).
- Eat something light but filling before you leave the house.
- Arrive with a clean and moisturized face and CLEAN HAIR (important!).
- Have your final Session payment ready (check, or cash).
- Most important: Take a deep breath and RELAX. It’s completely normal to be a wee bit nervous before your shoot, but please don’t worry because you will be in very good hands. We will show you exactly how to pose and work with you to get the perfect shot.
