Before your client even steps into your studio, you’ll want to have set the stage for a successful photography session. Providing a set of tips and guidelines well before the session date can help your client arrive better prepared, both mentally and physically. This is also an excellent opportunity to recommend trusted makeup and hair professionals, ensuring that your client looks her best for the shoot.

A week before the session, consider sending out an informational packet to your client. This could consist of a tip sheet that outlines suggestions or “Dos,” and “Don’ts” to guide her in preparing for the session. Another sheet could help her brainstorm for ideas or items she might want to bring along. This not only helps her visualize the looks she might want to try but also aids in communicating her preferences to you more effectively.
Below, you’ll find a sample Pre-Session Packet for clients (download). Use this as a basis for something similar and feel free to add or remove items to make them more relevant to your specific style of boudoir photography or to your clientele.
