Your Boudoir Session, Demystified: The Answers You’ve Been Looking For
We understand that booking a boudoir session can feel exciting—and a little nerve-wracking. You probably have questions, and we’re here to help! Below, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions to help you feel prepared, confident, and excited about your experience.
Do you share my images?
Your privacy and comfort are our top priorities. A boudoir session is deeply personal, and we respect that every client has different preferences when it comes to sharing their images. Nothing is ever shared without your consent. If we’d love to feature a few images in our portfolio, we’ll always ask first—and only share what you’re completely comfortable with. Your experience is about empowerment on your terms.
Do I have to wear lingerie?
Not at all! Your session should reflect your personality and style—whether that’s classic lace lingerie, a cozy oversized sweater, or something unique to you. Boudoir is about confidence, not clothing. If you’re not sure what to wear, we’ve got plenty of outfit ideas—check out our style guide blog for inspiration!
Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely! We believe every woman deserves this experience, so we offer flexible pre-payment options. To reserve your date, a session fee is required, after that we will set up a payment plan that works for you with the goal of having your balance paid two weeks before your session. Let’s chat about all of your options!
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes! Every Primal Soul Boudoir experience includes professional hair and makeup to make you feel pampered and camera-ready. Whether you prefer a natural, “I woke up like this” glow or full-on glam, our beauty team will bring your vision to life. Bring any inspiration photos you love, and we’ll make sure you feel absolutely stunning.
Do you Photoshop my images?
We enhance your images for lighting, color balance, and overall polish—but we believe in celebrating the real you. We do not alter features that make you unique because boudoir is about embracing yourself as you are. Through expert posing and lighting, we highlight your beauty in a way that feels authentic, empowering, and breathtaking.
Where to Shop for Boudoir Lingerie: A Guide to Finding the Perfect Fit
Choosing the right lingerie for your boudoir session is all about finding pieces that make you feel confident, sensual, and unapologetically you. Whether you’re looking for something delicate and romantic or bold and sultry, there are options at every price point. Here’s a breakdown of some popular retailers and what to expect when shopping for your perfect look.
Places To Buy Affordable Lingerie Online
Surprised? Believe it or not, Amazon can be a hidden gem when it comes to lingerie—if you know how to search. Since quality can vary, pay close attention to reviews and product descriptions. A great trick is to search for specific lingerie styles like “lace chemise” or “bodysuit” rather than just “lingerie” to find better-quality pieces. If you’re shopping here, aim for trusted brands and read customer photos to ensure the fit and fabric meet your expectations.
Walmart
While it may not be your first thought for boudoir lingerie, Walmart has surprisingly stepped up its game with affordable options that can look just as stunning as pricier alternatives. The key? Try everything on. Some pieces will photograph beautifully, while others may not have the best fit or fabric. Don’t be afraid to experiment and return what doesn’t work!
Frederick’s of Hollywood
Once known for flashy, over-the-top styles, Frederick’s has made a comeback with a mix of mid-range and budget-friendly lingerie. More and more of our clients are showing up with pieces that look gorgeous on camera, making it a solid choice for those who want sexy, statement pieces without breaking the bank. Just be mindful of fabric quality, and check for detailed sizing guides to ensure the best fit.
Yandy
If you’re looking for budget-friendly lingerie with endless options, Yandy is worth a browse. They frequently have sales, making it easy to grab a variety of looks for your session. Some pieces will photograph beautifully, while others may not hold up as well—so shop with a discerning eye. Focus on structured bodysuits, lace robes, and classic silhouettes for timeless elegance that translates well on camera.Places To Buy Affordable Lingerie Online
