Hair and makeup is part of the client experience, not just a beauty service.
A lot of clients arrive excited and nervous at the same time, which is very normal. Having this time before we start shooting helps the day feel less rushed and gives you a chance to settle into the studio before we begin.
You can drink coffee, tea, or water, have a snack, show me inspiration photos, ask last-minute questions, and slowly ease into the experience.
The goal is not perfection. It is for you to feel cared for, prepared, and a little more grounded before we start creating images.
Professional hair and makeup is included with my Glow Up and Luxe AF boudoir packages.
Both packages include:
On-site hair styling
Full makeup application
Fake lashes
Skin prep before makeup
Time to settle in before we start shooting
This all happens in the studio, so you are not running from appointment to appointment or trying to keep your lashes intact in the car like it is an Olympic sport.
You show up, get comfortable, and let me handle the getting-camera-ready part.
When you arrive, we’ll start with hair and makeup before moving into outfits and shooting.
We’ll talk through the look you want, look at any inspiration photos you brought, and make sure the final result feels aligned with your comfort level. Soft and natural? Perfect. A little more glam? Also perfect. Somewhere in the middle because you want to look like yourself, but with better lighting and maybe a lash? Love that.
After hair and makeup, we’ll go through outfits together, including anything you brought and pieces from the client closet if you want to use them.
Then we start shooting.
And no, you do not have to know how to pose. That part is still my job.
Please arrive with:
Clean, dry hair, preferably washed the day before
A bare face with no makeup
No heavy skincare products
Inspiration photos for hair or makeup looks you like
You do not need to know exactly what you want before you arrive. Inspiration photos are helpful, but we can also talk through your style, your session vibe, and what feels most like you.
Hair and makeup is not a magic confidence ritual. I know. Rude.
But it can be a really helpful part of the process.
For many clients, this is when the nerves start to calm down. You are sitting in the studio, the day has started, we are talking through the plan, and suddenly the whole thing feels a lot less unknown.
Yes, you’ll look polished and camera-ready. Obviously, we love that.
But the bigger purpose is comfort.
Hair and makeup helps you ease into the experience instead of feeling like you have to be ready the second you walk through the door.
Head to the Schedule Your Session page to browse available session dates, choose your package, and start the booking process.
Still have questions about hair and makeup, packages, outfits, or whether you are going to feel awkward?
You can reach out directly too, and we’ll talk through what you’re wondering before you book.
Boudoir isn’t about showing up already confident, perfectly posed, or magically comfortable in front of a camera.
Most clients walk into their session nervous, that’s completely normal. My job is to help you settle in, guide you through every pose, and create images that feel like you, not some overly edited version of you that looks like she has never had a pore, stretch mark, or life experience.
I photograph real bodies with intention, care, and a whole lot of direction. Every image is hand-edited individually with the goal of enhancing the photo, not changing you into a different person.
Wherever you are coming from, your session is designed to feel comfortable, personal, and actually doable.

What’s one thing that makes you feel confident?
I’ll go first, having my nails and lashes done. I instantly feel more put together even if I haven’t done anything else with myself that day.

One of my favorite things about offering payment plans?
It means you don’t have to choose between booking now and waiting until everything feels “perfect.”
All my packages are eligible for a custom payment plan that works with your budget and timeline.

"From the moment I walked in, I felt so comfortable, confident, and completely at ease. Arielle created such a welcoming and empowering environment that made the entire shoot feel natural and fun. I was honestly nervous beforehand, but she hyped me up the whole time and made me feel beautiful in every pose.
The photos turned out absolutely incredible and exceeded all my expectations. If you’re thinking about booking a boudoir session, do it. You will leave feeling so confident and empowered. Highly recommend!"

Session prep tip:
Drink some water in the days leading up to your session.
Not because I`m about to give you some weird wellness lecture.
Because you`re going to bending like a pretzel.
You`ll feel better the next day after if you`re hydrated.

Something I`ve heard from a few people lately:
"I`m interested, but I`m really nervous."
And listen, I`d be more surprised if you weren`t.
Most clients walk through the studio door nervous.
That`s completely normal.

It`s been one whole year since coming to the new studio (peep the selfie from my first session here), and it still feels a bit like a pinch me moment when I come in. Sometimes it`s crazy to reflect on a years growth because it`s a lot of time while simultaneously being no time at all.
I generally am someone who will do things on a whim with the belief it`ll work out, and deciding to take a chance by saying yes has continued to still be a pretty rad decision.
Thanks for being here. 💕

I believe in helping women celebrating their figures, finding your confidence, and being part of you filling your want to simply feel beautiful and relish in it.
