Your boudoir session is more than just a photoshoot—it's an experience of self-love, confidence, and empowerment. At Embrace Boudoir in New Cumberland, PA, we want you to feel comfortable, prepared, and ready to shine the moment you step in front of the camera.

Here’s your complete day-of boudoir session checklist to help everything go smoothly:

✅ 1. Hydrate & Rest

Start your day with a big glass of water and a good night’s sleep. Hydration improves skin glow and reduces puffiness, and rest helps you feel energized and confident. Start hydrating a few days before your session. This will help flush out toxins.



✅ 2. Arrive with a Clean Face & Hair

We provide professional hair and makeup at your session, so please arrive with a clean, moisturized face and dry hair. Avoid heavy styling products beforehand.



✅ 3. Wear Loose-Fitting Clothing

To avoid marks on your skin, wear a robe, loose joggers, or a button-up shirt. Skip bras and tight socks for a few hours before your session—your skin will thank you! And so will I as I edit your images and don't have to clean up bra indents on your skin.



✅ 4. Bring Multiple Outfit Options

We recommend bringing 3–5 different looks:

  • Lingerie sets in different colors and textures

  • A bodysuit or lace robe

  • An oversized sweater or button-up shirt

  • Something personal (your partner’s shirt, a favorite accessory)

Choose what makes you feel sexy, powerful, and comfortable. If you don't have 3-5, that's ok. We can work with nothing as well. We have sheets and accessories in the studio that you are welcome to use.

✅ 5. Shoes & Accessories

High heels can help elongate your legs in certain poses—but barefoot works beautifully too. Don’t forget jewelry, thigh-highs, garters, or any pieces that help complete your look. We have many sizes of black, red bottom shoes that you're welcome to borrow as well!



✅ 7. A Positive, Open Attitude

The most important thing to bring is yourself—with an open mind and heart. You don’t need to know how to pose or perform; that’s our job. We’ll guide you every step of the way.



Final Thoughts

A boudoir session with Embrace Boudoir is about so much more than photos. It's about stepping into your power, seeing your beauty, and celebrating every curve, line, and expression that makes you you.

You’re ready. You’re worthy. You’re beautiful. Let’s capture it.
