Session Prep Guide

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.)
  • Your proofing gallery will be ready within 4-6 weeks to select your favourites.
  • Then comes the magic of choosing and creating your final products.
