How should I prep my body hair before my boudoir session?

Let's just get it out of the way. You know. The awkward question you don't wanna ask...

"How should I prep my body hair before my boudoir session?"

I am frequently asked what I recommend.

The simple answer is: It's all personal preference! I promise, as your photographer, I will not notice your grooming. I want you to be comfortable, and I encourage you to follow whatever your standard practice is. These are your images, and I want them to represent YOU!

The following applies to legs, underarms, bikini area, etc.

SHAVE

The most convenient method we know and love. To prevent stubble, shave the night before your session. Hydrate your skin with a moisturizer. 

What if I have razor burn, bumps, or miss a spot? Your images will be retouched to your liking.

WAX

Waxing is the most effective method. Be sure to wax at least 48 hours prior to your session to avoid swelling and redness.

If waxing is not part of your routine, or you have never tried it before, I would say "skip it."

AU NATURAL

Leave your hair as is! Please keep in mind that if you choose to keep body hair, I will not digitally remove it. (Yes, people actually request this)

It's really that simple! Should you have any specific grooming questions, please ask! I am always happy to help!
