The Ultimate Boudoir Prep Guide

Considering a Boudoir Shoot? This Guide Answers the Questions You Didn’t Even Know to Ask.

If you’ve been wondering what to wear, how it works, or if you’re “really ready”—this guide is here to help.

Why We Created This Guide

If you've ever looked at boudoir images and thought, “I’d love to do something like that... but I have no idea where to start,” this guide was made for you.

At Fox & Vixen, we’ve photographed hundreds of women—most of them over 40—who felt nervous, unsure, or like they weren’t “the type” to do a boudoir shoot. And almost all of them had the same questions before booking.

We created this guide to answer those questions with honesty, compassion, and clear, helpful advice—so you can make an empowered decision without pressure, guesswork, or comparison.

What You’ll Learn Inside:

  • Exactly what to bring (and what to skip) for your session

  • What really happens the day of your shoot

  • Posing and nudity concerns—what’s optional, what’s guided, and what’s totally up to you

  • How to prepare your body, skin, and mindset (without trying to be perfect)

  • The most common fears—and what clients say after they’ve done it anyway

  • Real answers to:

    • Do I have to wear lingerie?

    • What if I’m not photogenic?

    • What if I’m older or not at my goal weight?

    • Will my photos be private?

This Guide Is For You If…

  • You’ve been thinking about a boudoir shoot, but still feel unsure

  • You want to feel more confident walking into the experience

  • You’re the kind of woman who likes to be prepared before saying yes to something big

  • You’re curious, empowered, and maybe just a little bit scared (that’s okay)
