MUSE WELCOME GUIDE

Firstly — CONGRATULATIONS!

Being selected as a Muse is not about being a model, being confident, or being “ready.” It’s about saying yes to yourself.

This experience is about stepping in front of the camera in a supported, guided, and empowering way — and allowing yourself to be seen.

I can’t wait to create something beautiful with you.

What it means to be a Muse

As a Muse for this campaign:

• You are part of a curated experience with limited spaces.

• Your session is offered at a special rate in exchange for creative collaboration.

• Images may be used for portfolio, marketing, and promotional purposes.

• Behind-the-scenes content may be captured where agreed.

• You are contributing to helping other women see what’s possible.

This is a partnership built on trust, transparency, and intention.

Thank you for being part of it.

How the experience works

Before your session

You will receive:

• Confirmation of your booking

• A copy of your contract to sign and your session fee invoice to secure your spot

• Multiple prep emails leading up to your shoot to help you best prepare

This ensures you feel completely prepared before you arrive.

On the day

Arrival
You’ll be welcomed into a calm, private space where you can relax and settle in.

Snacks, water, tea and coffee are available at the studio.

Hair & Makeup
Professional styling begins your transformation. This is often when nerves start to fade.

The Shoot

The shoot itself will last around 90mins.

You will receive full direction throughout your entire session.
You will never be left wondering what to do.

I guide:

• Posing

• Hand placement

• Facial expressions

• Movement

• Small adjustments that make a big difference

You do not need experience. You just need to show up.

As part of the Muse session, I will also be capturing behind the scenes content along the way, so that other women can see what goes on in a real boudoir shoot.

No nudity will be photographed or captured on video for these Muse sessions.

After your session

• You will receive access to your private online gallery around 48 hrs after your shoot

• You will select your favourite images from there for your order

• Your selected images will be professionally edited

• Any additional products to showcase your stunning images can also be ordered at this time

Everything is simple and streamlined.

What to expect emotionally

Almost every woman feels nervous before her session.

That is completely normal.

You may feel:

• Excited

• Self-conscious

• Unsure

• Curious

• A little out of your comfort zone

And that’s okay.

Most women tell me that by the middle of the session, something shifts.
They relax. They trust the process. They start to enjoy themselves.

This experience is designed to feel safe, guided, and empowering from start to finish.

How to Prepare

Sleep & Hydration

Try to rest well the night before and drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session.

What to Wear

Wear loose comfortable clothing to the shoot; clothes that bind will leave marks. A sundress or yoga pants with a tank or hoodie is great.

For your shoot, I usually recommend bringing 3-4 different outfits if you can.

There’s lots of different looks and options, depending on the types of images you like.

Most importantly, bring outfits that FIT YOU well, compliment your skin tone and make you feel amazing.

Options can include:

• underwear sets

• bodysuits

• wet shirt look

• sheer/lacy top

• button up shirt

• denim/leather jacket

• jeans

• bridal lingerie and veil

• bondage looks

• fishnets & bodystockings

• body jewellery

• thigh high boots and heels

If you see some images that you really like, send them through (or start your own Pinterest board that I can have a look at), that way I can get a good feel for the types of images you’re after.

If you’re unsure, I’m always happy to help with styling advice.

Hair

Come with clean, dry hair unless otherwise instructed.

If you have hair on your face or body that you don’t like, please remove it before the shoot.

Skin

Avoid trying new skincare products right before your session.

Exfoliate your skin the morning of the shoot and moisturise.

Wash and moisturise your face before the shoot, and try to avoid wearing makeup.

Avoid dry lips by putting moisturising lip balm on your lips before bed and the morning of your shoot.

Please feel free to get a spray tan if it will help you feel better leading into your shoot, and it’s part of your regular routine. But don’t feel any pressure to

Nails

Keep nails neutral or neatly groomed.

Frequently Asked Questions

You do not need to “get ready.”
You do not need to become someone else.
