How to Prepare for Your Boudoir Session with Touchless Photography
1. First Things First: You’re Already
Enough
Before we dive into the prep tips, take a deep breath.
Feel that?
That’s the energy of stepping into your power.
At Touchless Photography, we don’t just show up with a camera. We show up with heart, connection, and the intention to create an experience that’s uniquely yours.
We take the time to get to know you, who you are, what lights you up, and what you want this experience to mean for you.
You’re not just booking a boudoir session.
You’re booking a celebration of everything you already are.
And honestly?
I’m already so proud of you.
2. Show Your Body Some
Love Before Your Session
Think of your session like honoring a masterpiece, because that’s exactly what you are.
- Exfoliate and moisturize to help your skin glow naturally.
- Hydrate like you mean it, water today equals radiance tomorrow.
- Treat yourself to a hydration mask the night before if you’re feeling extra fabulous.
- Don’t forget your feet! A fresh pedicure will photograph beautifully and complete your goddess energy.
- Nourish yourself with love, healthy meals keep your body feeling vibrant and energized.
3. What to Wear: Celebrate What Makes You, You
This isn’t about playing dress-up, it’s about honoring your story.
It’s about energy, vibration, connection, the things that make you feel alive.
Bring pieces that light you up:
- Your favorite lingerie, silky robes, body chains, or cozy oversized shirts
- Amazon-curated lingerie recommendations for every body type
(because confidence comes in all sizes)
And bring your story:
- Your favorite sports jersey, because you're your own MVP
- A guitar, violin, or whatever instrument speaks your soul
- A well-loved book and reading glasses, because knowledge is sexy too
- Hiking boots, pointe shoes, a leather jacket, anything that tells your story
Personalized touches aren’t extras, they’re essentials.
They turn your session into a memory, a moment where you fall in love with yourself all over again.
Because you are worthy. Because you are energy in motion.
Because this is the beginning of a new chapter, and it starts with you.
What to Wear: Shop Styles That Make You Feel Powerful
Choosing what to wear for your boudoir session isn’t just about lingerie, it’s about energy. It's about finding pieces that make you stand a little taller, feel a little softer, or remind you just how magnetic you really are.
Below are a few of my favorite finds on Amazon, flattering on many body types, budget-friendly, and full of photo-ready magic.
Whether you want to bring bold, romantic, edgy, or ethereal energy into your session, these pieces can help you channel the version of you that’s been waiting to come out and play.
Soft & Sheer Elegance — Babydoll Lingerie with Garter & Thigh Highs
This delicate lace babydoll set is both romantic and daring, with sheer detail that flatters every curve and a high-waist cut that offers a gorgeous silhouette. It includes a matching thong, garter belt, and stockings, making it perfect for a complete, styled look without extra shopping. A dreamy piece for a softer, feminine vibe with just enough edge.
Bold & Sculpted — Satin Bodysuit with Lace Details
For the woman who wants to serve structure and seduction, this satin bodysuit hugs your waist beautifully while offering delicate lace accents along the bust and hips. It’s perfect for adding shape, confidence, and a little extra drama to your shoot. Pair it with a robe or wear it solo to let the sculpted cut do the talking.
Romantic Rebel — Lace-Up Mesh Teddy
This piece is the definition of sultry-meets-sweet. With its adjustable lace-up front and sheer mesh design, it offers just the right amount of reveal. It’s flattering on many body types thanks to its stretch and open cut, and looks amazing whether you're standing tall or lying back in soft studio lighting.
Classic with a Twist — Cut-Out Lingerie Bodysuit
This one’s for the bold. With cut-out sides, lace detail, and a plunging neckline, this bodysuit is made for the client who’s ready to own her story, and her angles. It photographs beautifully, especially with dramatic lighting or under sheer layering pieces like a robe or jacket.
4. Treat Yourself : Professional Hair & Makeup
Why do it yourself when you can step into the magic?
Our in-house beauty expert Tara, with 16+ years of experience, will create a radiant, camera-ready look that enhances everything you already are.
Highly recommended, because feeling effortlessly gorgeous from the start shifts your entire session’s energy.

A little bit terrified and a lot thrilled? Perfect.

One Week Before Your
Boudoir Session
Alright, gorgeous, it's countdown time!
- Wax, shave, moisturize. Your skin deserves all the love.
- Keep your body feeling amazing with nourishing foods and hydration. (Yes, it's time to dust off that HelloFresh code)
- Treat yourself to a mani-pedi. Your fingers and toes will be starring in close-ups too!
- Schedule a massage with your girls, relaxation looks stunning on you.
- Skip the spray tans. (Tanning beds are fine if you avoid lines, but natural skin is always perfect)
- Hydrate like it's your full-time job. (H2O = glow, babe)
- Create a Pinterest board. Sexy? Elegant? Moody? Boho? Share your vision with us so we can match your vibe.
One Day Before Your Session
This is your moment to chill and set the vibe:
- Pack your bag. Lingerie? Outfits? Accessories? Snacks? (Never underestimate the power of a good snack)
- Remove tags from your outfits. (Because "XS, made in China" isn’t the mood)
- Movie night over party night. Keep the wine corked, hydration is the real party trick.
- Early bedtime. Your energy tomorrow will be unstoppable.
Day of Your Boudoir Session
You made it, beauty! Here’s your final sparkle checklist:
- Final skin touch-ups. (Shave anywhere you want smooth.)
- Eat a light, healthy breakfast. You want to feel strong, not sleepy.
- Wear comfy clothes to the studio, loose, cozy, and easy to slip off (no tight marks on your skin!).
- Wake up early to float into the studio stress-free.
- Get your professional hair and makeup done! (Our glam goddess Tara will have you glowing inside and out)
- Most importantly... HAVE FUN.
Laugh, flirt with the camera, dance if you feel it, let your energy shine through every frame.
Final Thoughts: You’re Worth This
This isn't just about looking beautiful, although you will.
This is about
feeling it,
owning it,
living it.
This is about honoring your vibration, your story, and the incredible woman you already are.
I can’t wait to meet you.
I can’t wait to capture you.
