What Happens During Your Boudoir Consultation: A Step-By-Step Guide
So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and book a session with us at Hype Girl Boudoir. Maybe you’ve had this idea on your vision board for months after seeing our Facebook posts, or maybe it’s a spur-of-the-moment decision on a random vacation to Jacksonville, Florida. Either way, welcome! We know this experience is exciting but can also feel a little nerve-wracking, especially if it’s your first time in front of a camera in this way. That’s exactly why we have a consultation before your boudoir session- it’s our chance to get to know you and your unique story. Plus, it's where we break down the details to ensure your session reflects your true self and is as stress-free as possible.
Even if you're not local to the North Florida area or can't make it to our studio, no worries—we’ve got you covered! We can easily set up a virtual consultation to discuss everything from the session timeline to your outfits and posing ideas. Whether we're face-to-face or chatting online, we’ll make sure you're fully prepped and feeling confident for your session. Distance won’t stop us from making this an unforgettable experience tailored just for you!
The Timeline – From Glam to the Grand Finale
If you're like me, having a clear roadmap of what's going to happen can help settle those pre-session jitters. So, during our consultation, we’ll go over the entire timeline of the day—literally from the moment you walk in the door for your Hype Girl session to when we say goodbye after the big reveal. Let’s break down what that looks like:
Arrival – You’ll be greeted by our team, and the energy will be nothing short of electric. Whether you walk in feeling excited or a little nervous, we’ve got you! Expect some high-fives, lots of smiling faces, and us probably talking about something that would make a HR department (if we had one) pretty upset.
Hair & Makeup – This is your time to sit back, relax, and get pampered by our glam squad. Our team will work their magic, making sure your look is aligned with your vision—whether that’s soft and natural or bold and glamorous. We’ll talk about your preferences during the consultation so there are no surprises. You deserve to feel like the goddess you are, and this is the moment we start that transformation.
Wardrobe Consultation – We’ll have already discussed outfit ideas during the consultation, but this is when we finalize the looks you’ll be rocking during your session. Maybe you’re bringing your own pieces, or maybe you’re tapping into our client wardrobe. Either way, we’ll make sure every piece reflects your style and flatters your figure in all the right ways.
The Session – This is where the magic happens. You’ll probably start a bit nervous (everyone does!), but we’ll guide you through every pose. We’ll take breaks, chat, and keep the energy light and fun. Whether you’re into sultry looks, soft smiles, or full-on laughter, we’ll capture you. By the end, most clients say they’ve completely forgotten they were ever nervous in the first place.
The Reveal – After your session, you’ll get to see your images in a private viewing. This is hands down one of our favorite parts. Watching you see yourself in a new light—empowered, confident, beautiful—is what this whole experience is about. Trust us, you’ll walk away with more than just photos. You’ll walk away with a feeling of self-love and pride that will stick with you long after the session is over.
Your Relationship with Your Body – Let’s Get Real
We don’t just want to capture your outer beauty—we want to celebrate you, inside and out. Honestly, that’s the foundation of Hype Girl Boudoir entirely! Celebrating what makes you unique and beautiful in your own way.
Part of this means talking about your relationship with your body. During the consultation, we’ll ask you about your favorite features and the areas that maybe don’t get as much love from you. This isn’t about pointing out “flaws” or focusing on the negative; it’s about acknowledging that all of us, no matter where we are in our self-love journey, have parts of ourselves we’re still working on. And guess what? That’s 100% OK.
Why do we ask about this? Because your feelings about your body matter. We want to celebrate the parts of you that make you feel like a million bucks, and we also want to help you start seeing the beauty in the areas you’ve been hesitant about. Knowing your preferences helps us guide you into outfits and poses that make you feel comfortable, powerful, and beautiful.
For example, maybe you love your legs but feel self-conscious about your stomach. We’ll make sure to highlight those legs in poses that elongate them and give you that leggy, model-off-duty vibe while posing you in ways that de-emphasize the areas you’re more reserved about. Our goal? To help you walk away from the session seeing your body in a whole new light—flaws, curves, and everything in between.
Your WHY – Let’s Get Deep
Every client who comes through our doors has a “why”—a reason they decided to book this session. We want to know yours. The reason behind your session tells us so much about what this experience means to you, and it helps us make the entire day special and personal.
Maybe you’re here to mark a major life event. You’ve just hit a milestone birthday, gone through a divorce, or are celebrating recovery from illness. Maybe you’re gifting these images to a partner for an anniversary or wedding. Or, maybe you’re just here because it’s time. You’ve worked hard, grown in confidence, and you want to celebrate who you are right now, no matter what phase of life you're in. It doesn’t matter what your why is—whether it’s for yourself or for someone else—what matters is that it’s yours, and we want to honor that.
Once we know your why, we can tailor the entire experience around it. If it’s a celebration of self-love, we’ll make sure the session reflects that joy and confidence. If it’s a gift, we can help craft the photos with your partner in mind while still ensuring you feel amazing. Whatever the reason, we’ll celebrate it right along with you.
Building Connection – Meet the Faces Behind Hype Girl
We know that the thought of undressing in front of a camera can be majorly intimidating. That’s why we spend part of your consultation just getting to know each other. Whether you’re talking to Tiffany or Marcella, you’ll quickly realize we’re not just photographers—we’re your cheerleaders, your guides, and your hype girls (literally).
We’re goofy, a little unhinged, and non-judgmental. We’ve heard it all, seen it all, and we don’t care if you have stretch marks, cellulite, or scars. We’re here to make you feel amazing, because we genuinely believe every body is beautiful and deserves to be celebrated. By the time your session rolls around, you’ll feel like you’re hanging out with friends, not just posing in front of a camera. That connection makes all the difference in creating images that feel authentic and full of life.
