Discover Your Boudoir Teaser Experience

A boudoir teaser session is a beautifully condensed boudoir experience designed for first-timers, or those who crave a stunning photoshoot but don’t need a full-day session. You’ll enjoy the same high-quality experience with just a shorter time commitment. From start to finish, we guide you with everything you need: a wardrobe consultation, posing support, 30 minutes of dedicated shoot time, and a same-day image reveal.

It’s time to Prep!

Congrats! You’ve booked your shoot…
Now what?

What to Wear

  • Wardrobe Responsibility: Bring up to two outfits for your session. Use items you already own or shop for something new you’ll love.

  • Shopping Tips:

    • Visit local lingerie stores and mention it’s for a boudoir shoot; staff are there to help.

    • Avoid sites like AliExpress or Wish due to unreliable quality and shipping.

    • Recommended stores: Shein, Amazon, Romwe, Adam & Eve, Yandy (read reviews before buying).

  • Outfit Recommendations:

    • Choose form-fitting lingerie like bodysuits, teddies, bralette/panty sets, or high-waisted options.

    • Non-lingerie ideas: crop tops, flowing dresses, winter sweaters, or knee-high socks.

    • Avoid shapeless outfits like baby dolls or slips; they don’t enhance your curves.

  • Accessories & Personal Touches:

    • Add stockings, jewelry, wedding accessories (veil, shoes, ring), or a meaningful item from your partner (jersey, dress shirt, etc.).

  • Preparation: Remove tags from outfits beforehand to save time and ensure they aren’t missed during the shoot.

Hair & Makeup

  • Not Included: Hair and makeup services are not included with a teaser session.

  • Your Choice: You’re welcome to do your own or request our list of recommended hair & makeup artists.

  • Find Inspiration: Explore the Pillow Talk Studios website or search for “boudoir makeup” on Pinterest for ideas.

  • Be You: Whether you prefer a natural look or full glam, we want you to feel comfortable in your own skin. Makeup is entirely optional, and we love photographing both natural and glam clients.

Laser, Shaving, Waxing

  • Laser Hair Removal:

    • Takes 6–10 treatments to become permanent.

    • Schedule 2–3 weeks before your session to allow for hair shedding and smooth skin.

  • Waxing:

    • Brazilian, bikini, or underarm wax: 5–7 days before your session.

    • Brow wax: About a week prior to avoid irritation.

  • Shaving: Do it the night before or morning of your session for best results.

  • Skin Care Tips:

    • Avoid sun exposure to prevent harsh tan lines or sunburns—they’re difficult to edit.

    • Skip the tanning bed to avoid burns before your shoot.

Manicure & Pedicure

  • Nail Appointments: Schedule a manicure and pedicure a couple of days before your session. Choose neutral or solid colors that complement your outfits; avoid neons or bright shades.

  • Press-On Nails: If gel or acrylic isn’t an option, try press-on nails from Walmart, Sally’s, or London Drugs. Apply them before the session and bring adhesive glue for touch-ups.

  • DIY Nails: Skip professional services if they’re not your style. Instead:

    • Fingernails: Cut, file, and ensure they’re clean.

    • Feet: Use a pumice stone for smooth skin.

  • Reminder: Your toes will be visible in the shoot, so don’t forget to show them some love!

Week of your Session

  • Pack & Plan Ahead: Double-check your bag to ensure you’ve packed everything you need. Know the location and plan your route to avoid last-minute stress.

  • Hydration & Skincare: Stay hydrated, moisturize your skin (including lips), and clean any jewelry you plan to wear for a polished look.

  • Stretch & Rest: Boudoir poses can be physical—stretch daily leading up to your session. Get a good night’s sleep to avoid puffy eyes.

  • Healthy Habits:

    • Night Before: Eat a light, healthy dinner and avoid alcohol or late-night partying. If shaving, do it now for smooth skin.

    • Day Of: Eat a light meal before your session, wear loose-fitting clothes to avoid pressure marks, and use clear deodorant.

  • Final Tips: Arrive with a fresh face and no hair products if you’re doing your own prep. Most importantly—relax and enjoy your special day!

Skincare: Sunburn, Tanning, Tattoos & Piercings

  • Tattoos & Piercings: Avoid getting new ones before your session to prevent risks like infection, swelling, or rejection that could impact your shoot.

  • Routine Changes: Don’t introduce new skincare products within two weeks of your session to avoid allergic reactions or breakouts.

  • Spray Tans: A big no! Spray tans often appear orange or streaky on camera. Embrace your natural skin tone instead.

  • Sun Exposure: Avoid sunburns, peeling skin, or bold tan lines—they’re difficult or impossible to edit out.

  • Editing Notice: Additional charges may apply for extensive body-altering edits; full terms are in your contract.

Day of your Session

Your Teaser Session is designed to give you a taste of the Pillow Talk experience, capturing stunning images in a focused 30-minute shoot. Here's how it works:

Arrival & Outfits

Once you arrive, we’ll quickly review your outfits and decide which one to start with. Teaser sessions allow for 2 outfit changes, so be sure to come fully prepared and ready to go—there’s no time for hair or makeup touch-ups at the studio.

The Session

The clock will start, and you’ll be amazed at how much we can achieve in just 30 minutes! I’ll guide you through a range of poses—from simple and elegant to spicy and smouldering. You don’t need to worry about a thing; posing, facial expressions, and even the tiniest details (like what to do with your hands or toes!) are all my job.

Before you know it, the session will fly by, leaving you on a high note and ready to grab a coffee or lunch while I stay back to proof-edit your photos.

Same-Day Reveal

Once your session wraps, I’ll complete a quick proof edit of your images. When you return, you’ll get to view your proofing gallery of 15–30 images. Together, we’ll go through your favorites, narrowing down your selection and choosing which images or products to purchase.

After final selections, you’ll receive an invoice, and upon payment, I’ll fully retouch your chosen images. Final delivery takes approx 2 - 3 weeks.

Payment Options

We accept Cash, E-Transfer, and Credit (Credit transactions are subject to processing fees). Payment plans are not available for teaser sessions. All purchases are subject to tax.

Product Orders

If you order products, they’ll be sent to print after your final approval of edits. Items can be drop-shipped to your home or picked up from Pillow Talk Studios in Vernon.
