Preparing for your session can bring a roller coaster of emotions. It’s normal to feel a bit anxious before your session. So take a moment to love on yourself and relax.
We promise to help you feel comfortable and confident during your session and will make some gorgeous photos together!
LOCATION
We are based in the Salt Lake and Utah County areas, but we travel frequently!
Whether your session is scheduled in the Utah studio or in a different state, it will always be a private location with on-site parking.
Contact us:
Boudoir is part of a transformation process.
You are becoming the confident, self-loving, brave, unapologetic woman that you can be.
We are proud of you!
PRE-SESSION
Your Session starts promptly at the scheduled time. You do not need to arrive early, as we may be with another client. Your confirmation email states your arrival time.
Please arrive with:
1. All of your outfits + accessories
2. Your hair dry and natural. (We have budgeted about 90 minutes for the stylist to style your hair. If you know that your hair needs extra products or more time than that, please email me.) Your face clean and product-less. Feel free to bring your favorite lipstick or foundation if you want to, but the stylist will provide makeup. If you have inspiration photos, bring those to the shoot to show the stylist.
3. Loose clothes. Tight clothing (bras, underwear, jeans, etc…) will leave lines on your body and will be seen in the photos.
4. Cash or card. Orders will be paid for in full at the Photo Reveal. If you need to keep this purchase a secret, we suggest using a Visa gift card. Pre-Session Payment Plans are available (email me for details).
5. ID. We always check your ID for age, just to cover our liability!
Bringing alcohol, drugs, or weapons into the studio is not allowed.
TIP: Eat breakfast before your session. Your “food baby” will not show up on camera. Please take care of yourself and arrive with nutrition in your body!
OUTFITS
Bring as many outfits as you want to! Typically we will have time for 3-5 outfits, plus some accessories. At the beginning of the shoot we will lay out all the outfits and decide what to prioritize so that you get the most variety of images. The most important thing is that you FEEL CONFIDENT. Choose outfit combos that make you excited. No matter your body type or the pretty outfits you choose...you are beautiful.
There is no proper outfit, however, here are my suggestions for every shoot:
1. A matching bra and panty set (sets look expensive)
2. A one-piece teddy
3. The white sheet / Nude. This is a favorite for many of our clients because you can still be covered while leaving so much up to the imagination. Love Brittny Boudoir doesn’t offer highly erotic images, but we believe full, partial, or implied nudity can be a lovely way to document and celebrate your body. This is completely optional, and we provide the sheet.
TIP: Somewhere in there bring a thong and a structured bra to support the girls.
SHOES
-
Bring hiiiiiiigh heels. The taller the heel, the longer your legs look.
-
Stilettos look better than wedges and chunky heels.
-
Blacks, nudes and sparkles are the best on camera.
BRIDAL
-
Bring a mix of outfits. Your entire session doesn't have to be white lingerie.
-
Fee free to bring your wedding accessories...veil, shoes, garter, etc...
JEWELRY
-
You are the most important thing in these photos. Adding too much jewelry can be distracting. That said, significant pieces of jewelry can really emphasize the images. Feel free to bring jewelry that you feel will enhance your photos.
Other options:
-
His button up shirt. This can be worn to be as revealing as you prefer.
-
Cocktail dress. This is a fun way to tell a story with your images. We can start the gallery with glamor photos of you in the dress, show some photos of you unzipping the dress, and the next page in your album is more lingerie based. This is also a great way to ease your way into the session.
-
Corsets. These look amazing in photos and can add such a fun vibe to your photos.
-
White tshirt, tank, or crop top - a fun way to give a sneak peek.
-
Garter belts and Fishnets. While maybe not for everyone, it can be a fun way to add a bit of fierceness to your photos!
-
Jersey. Give a personalized shoutout to his favorite team by wearing their jersey in a few photos.
-
Robes. This can be a fun way to give the illusion of lounging around the house while styling the outfit a bit more.
-
Off the shoulder sweaters. This is so fun, cozy and “accidentally” sexy.
Will I be naked?
Only if you want to be! Your level of nudity is totally up to you. Some of our clients wear a robe throughout the entire photo shoot while others walk around stark naked.
Our priority is your comfort...but our job as your photographer is to help create photographs you will loooove.
If you're like most people, boudoir sessions are a unique experience, and it might be a few years before you do another one. We don't want you to look back and say, "I wish I had just tried that shot..." Because of that, we will likely encourage you to go one step further than you planned on. It is all up to you, and we will support your decision, either way!

HAIR + MAKEUP
Let the pampering begin! When you arrive for your shoot you will jump right into the makeup chair.
Please arrive with your hair clean and dry. (Curly hair...If you have curly hair and want to keep it curly for the session, feel free to use your own products before the session. If you want to go straighter, please straighten your hair before the session.) Please arrive with your face clean.
The most common look for hair is loose, flowy curls. Our stylists are amazing and will create this look for you! Updos are not included in the price or schedule. If you prefer an updo, or if you have specific requests regarding makeup, please email us at info@lovebrittny.com
Want to do a natural look AND a super glam look? Contact us info@lovebrittny.com at least 2 weeks before your session so we can schedule a second makeup look (additional $100.)

RETOUCHING
Our goal in all of this is to keep the photos honest. We want these images to accurately represent you.
What we DON'T edit: Photoshop "magazine" slimming. Truthfully, you don't need it. We will use angles, fabric and lighting to emphasize your favorite parts of you. When you look at these photos, we want you to say, "Wow, I look amazing!" not, "Wow, I look great...when I'm photoshopped."
What we DO edit: basic skin smoothing and removal of all non-permanent blemishes and bruises. That said, many ladies choose to leave their scars, moles, freckles, stretch marks, etc... It's up to you! The comment we hear at every shoot is about cellulite (we've all got it). Most of the time it doesn't show up dramatically in the photos, but we can edit to make it less noticeable.
There may be additional fees for editing things like chipped nail polish or editing out tattoos.
PREPARING FOR YOUR SESSION
HAIR
Touch up your hair before your shoot. Do whatever you want (trim, color or texture) so that you feel like yourself! Long hair and short hair are both beautiful!
NAILS
Your hands and feet will be visible in almost every image. Consider treating yourself to a spa day a few days before your session!
Nudes and french tips are always classy, but red is fierce!. If you want to mix it up a bit, you could paint your nails the same color as one of your outfits.
MIND
Take a deep breath. It’s ok to be nervous. Trust us. Trust yourself. Spend some time speaking to yourself in kind ways.
Feel free to use some of these positive affirmations to start reframing your self beliefs in a positive way:
-
My body deserves my respect.
-
Thank you, body, for serving me today.
-
I define my worth. I am worthy.
-
I love my body as it is.
-
I am allowed to take up space.
-
Today I’m grateful for my body because ____
TAN
Tanning is not required. We recommend sticking to a tanning method that you are familiar with in order to avoid splotchy and uneven skin tones. Avoid tanning your face...our makeup artists can customize the foundation to your skin tone.
SKIN
Drink lots of water in the week leading up to your session. Lotion up so your skin is nice and hydrated!
Use clear deodorant.
Shave your legs, underarms and bikini line before the session. If you choose to wax, schedule that a few days before your session. You know how your body reacts...try to schedule the shaving/waxing so that any red bumps or rashes are gone by the photo shoot.
