Do I Need to Shave Everything Before My Boudoir Session? Let’s Talk Body Hair, Babe!

Let’s get real for a sec—one of the biggest questions women ask (but sometimes feel awkward about) is, “Do I need to shave everything before my boudoir shoot?” The short answer? Absolutely not! Whether you’re smooth like a dolphin, rocking some natural fuzz, or somewhere in between, your body hair (or lack thereof) is all about your personal preference.

Here’s the thing: boudoir is about celebrating YOU, just as you are. It’s not about conforming to some kind of hairless beauty standard unless that’s what makes you feel your best. If you feel sexy and confident going au naturel, embrace it! If being freshly waxed or shaved is your vibe, go for it! But if you forgot to book that waxing appointment and your shoot’s tomorrow? Don’t sweat it—you’ll still look absolutely fabulous.

The Hair Truth

Let me tell you a little secret: as a boudoir photographer, I’m not hyper-focused on whether or not you’ve shaved your legs, underarms, or any other area. I’m focused on capturing your beauty, your confidence, and your essence. And trust me, body hair (or its absence) won’t change that.

I know society sometimes makes us feel like we need to be perfectly smooth at all times. But spoiler alert: body hair is completely natural. It’s your body, your rules. You’ve got the freedom to do what makes you feel comfortable. Wanna keep your legs a little fuzzy because you lack some time in the shower? Go for it. Prefer that silky-smooth feeling? Totally cool too. You’ve got options, girl!

The Shaving Myth

There’s this myth that if you’re doing a boudoir shoot, you have to be hairless. I’m here to bust that myth wide open. I’ve had clients who didn’t shave their legs, and their photos turned out just as stunning as someone who was freshly waxed. Why? Because boudoir is about your confidence, your beauty, and how you feel in your own skin. And no one looks back at their boudoir photos thinking, “I wish I had shaved my armpits more thoroughly.” Trust me on this one.

Grooming Options, No Pressure

If you love a little grooming before your shoot, go for it! Shaving, waxing, sugaring—there are so many ways to prep if that’s what you prefer. But if you’re unsure, remember that it’s all about what makes you feel comfortable. Plus, if you get a last-minute razor bump or two, I’ve got you covered in the editing process. Your photos will still be flawless, even if your shaving game wasn’t 100%.

Final Thoughts: You Do You!

At the end of the day, whether you’re smooth, fuzzy, or somewhere in between, the key is that you’re comfortable and confident. I’m here to help you feel like the goddess you are, no matter how you choose to style your body hair (or not). So, forget the pressure, and focus on what makes you feel like the beautiful, confident woman you are!

When it comes to your boudoir session, I’m ready to capture the magic—razor or no razor!

Now, let’s book that session and show off that incredible YOU!
