THE BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE: INSIDE THE STUDIO WITH REBEKAH AYANTOLA
A boudoir session is so much more than just taking beautiful photos, it’s about feeling empowered, confident, and truly seen. If you’re wondering what actually happens during a shoot, here’s a simple breakdown of what your experience will look like from start to finish:
Before Your Session
Once you book, you’ll start getting emails from me with everything you need to feel fully prepared. I’ll send you my Boudoir Outfit Guide, tips on what to do (and what not to do), and help you plan how you’d like to enjoy your final images. Whether it’s a luxury album, sleek metal wall art, or high-res digitals.
Arrival at the Studio
My cozy, private studio is located in the guest suite of my home in Oro Valley. When you arrive, you’ll be warmly welcomed and given time to settle in and relax. From there, the fun begins.
Hair & Makeup
You’ll be pampered with professional hair and makeup. Whether you want a natural glow or full-on glam, our makeup artist will make sure you feel like the best version of you.
Outfit Planning
We’ll go through the outfits you brought, and I’ll help you choose the pieces that will photograph beautifully and fit the vibe you’re going for.
The Shoot
This is where the magic happens. I’ll guide you through every pose, even down to your fingers and facial expressions, so you never feel unsure or awkward. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, confident, and have fun while we create your artwork together.
Your Reveal Session
About a week later, you’ll come back to the studio for your private image reveal and ordering session. You’ll see your photos for the first time (cue the happy tears!) and pick your favorites. You’ll also get to look through and feel all of our product options, albums, wall art, and more, to find the perfect way to showcase your images.
Relax & Enjoy the Experience
My studio is designed to feel like a calm, welcoming space where you can truly relax and just be yourself. From start to finish, I’ve got you! All you have to do is show up, trust the process, and enjoy every moment.
