No Awkward Poses Here! What Really Happens at a Perfectly Peachy Boudoir Shoot

You’ve probably seen the final results of boudoir sessions—gorgeous lighting, fierce poses, silky hair, and lingerie that hugs in all the right places. But if you’ve never done one yourself, you might be wondering:

“What actually happens during a boudoir shoot? Am I going to feel awkward? Will I know what to do?!”

Trust me, I get it. That’s why I want to take you behind the scenes of a real boudoir shoot at Perfectly Peachy, so you can see that the experience is less about perfectly posed pictures—and more about letting go, having fun, and falling back in love with yourself.

"She drips in daydreams, wrapped in warmth and want- the water knows all her secrets."

Arrival: First Things First—Comfort Is Queen

The moment you walk into the Peachy studio, everything slows down. The lights are soft. Candles are flickering. Music is playing—maybe something soulful, maybe something sassy—whatever you want to set the mood. You’re greeted with a warm hug (if you’re into that) and maybe a glass of champagne, sparkling water, or a latte (also your choice!).

There’s zero pressure to jump right into anything. We start by chatting—about your goals for the shoot, what brought you here, and what’s been weighing on your mind. For many of my clients, this session isn’t just about the photos—it’s about reclaiming their body, celebrating a milestone, or simply remembering that they’re more than a partner, a parent, or a to-do list.

Makeup & Hair: A Glamorous Exhale

Next up? It’s time to get pampered. Our in-house makeup artist (aka your personal glam fairy.. hehe me) is here to enhance what’s already so beautifully you. Whether you want a natural glow, a sultry smokey eye, or full-on bombshell curls, we customize every detail to your vibe.

While you’re in the chair, it’s common for the nerves to start bubbling up. You might say things like:

“I’ve never done anything like this before.” “What if I don’t like the way I look?”

And that’s okay. This is the part where I remind you that this experience is not about perfection. It’s about connection—with your confidence, your story, and your sensuality. Wardrobe: Lingerie, Lace, or Literally Your Favorite T-Shirt

Once you’re feeling glammed up, we head to the wardrobe rack. You may have brought your own pieces or borrowed from my client closet, which is stocked with flattering bodysuits, robes, bralettes, and soft layers & textures that photograph like a dream.

Not sure what looks best? That’s what I’m here for. I’ll help you choose outfits that make you feel like you—whether that’s lacey and luxe, flirty and fun, or cozy and intimate. Honestly? Some of the sexiest photos I’ve ever taken have featured oversized sweaters and bare legs.

"Wild at Heart, soft in soul= untamed, unfiltered and unforgettable."

The Shoot: Let’s Ditch the Posing Panic

You walk into the set (maybe still a little nervous), and that’s when the magic starts.

I show you exactly what to do with your hands, your face, your curves, and your energy. I’ll demo the poses myself (yes, I’m getting on the floor too!), tweak your angles gently, and hype you up the entire time.

There’s music playing, you’re laughing between shots, encouragement, and little by little, you start to forget the camera is even there. Your body loosens. Your expressions get real. And somewhere between the arch of your back and a deep exhale, you realize:

I feel… good. I feel hot. I feel like me.

We’ll shoot a mix of looks—some soft and vulnerable, some bold and spicy. You’ll have breaks to change outfits, fix lipstick, or just vibe. And if something isn’t working? We pivot. You are never stuck in an uncomfortable pose or pressured to do anything outside your comfort zone.

After the Shoot: That Post-Boudoir Glow

When we wrap, you’ll probably say, “I can’t believe I actually did that.” You’ll feel a little high from the rush of it all—and maybe a little sore tomorrow from arching (it's all worth it!)

We’ll schedule your private viewing session where you'll see your fully edited images and choose what you want to keep, print, or gift. Many clients cry during this part—not out of sadness, but because they finally see themselves again. Not filtered. Not hidden. Just powerful and beautiful.

This Isn’t Just a Photoshoot. It’s a Celebration of You.

At Perfectly Peachy, boudoir is about more than sexy pictures. It’s about healing. It’s about confidence. It’s about remembering that your body is not something to shrink, fix, or apologize for—but something to celebrate.

So if you’re on the fence, just know: You will not feel awkward.You will be guided with love. You will walk away glowing!

And I’ll be right there with you, cheering you on every step of the way.
