Every Afterdark experience is designed to make you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself.
Here's a quick guide to help you prepare for your session - so when you walk through the door, all that's left is to glow.
Before your Session - The Do's
Do hydrate and rest well. A good night's sleep and plenty of water will help you feel fresh and radiant.
Do Moisturise your skin the night before (but skip heavy oils or fake tan streaks.)
Do arrive with a fresh, makeup-free face if you have makeup included in your experience.
Do bring 2-4 outfit options - a mix of lingerie, robes, accessories, or anything that makes you feel amazing. We do include the client wardrobe in most packages, but please ensure you have a few sets of your own.
Do wear loose clothing to avoid marks from tight straps or jeans before your shoot.
Do eat a light meal beforehand so you're comfortable and energised.
Do communicate! If there's a specific vibe, song, or insecurity you'd like to discuss, tell me - this is your safespace.
Before Your Session - The Don'ts
Don't overthink posing. I'll guide you through every move - no modelling experience needed.
Don't get a spray tan or facial the night before your shoot. They can cause uneven tones or irritation on camera. If you do want to get a spray tan please do it at least 72 hours beforehand.
Don't forget to remove hair ties or watches. They can leave a mark.
Don't stress about perfection. The beauty of boudoir is in the emotion, not the symmetry.
When You Arrive
Take a deep breath - this is your time.
We'll go over outfits, chat about your comfort levels, and plan sets together.
You'll have time to get glam (if included) settle in, and enjoy some music while I prep the space.
Every session is relaxed, guided, and fun! Think of it as a little celebebration of you.
After Your Session
You'll leave glowing - and a little obsessed with yourself (as you should.)
