LET'S MAKE ART OUT OF YOU

The Ultimate Guide to Feeling Your Most Confident Self for Your Boudoir Experience

A LOVE NOTE FROM
CHEYENNE...

I can't tell you how honored I feel that you have chosen me to be part of your journey. Capturing you in this moment—exactly as you are—is such a compliment to my ability to create this for you. Every woman who steps in front of my camera does so for a reason, and each story is uniquely beautiful.

​

Some come to me because they’ve forgotten what it feels like to see themselves through a lens of love.

​

Some come to celebrate a milestone, a victory, or a new chapter.

​

Some come in the midst of grief, searching for a reminder of their strength.

​

Some haven’t felt truly seen in longer than they can remember.

​

Some are reclaiming their identity after becoming mothers.

​

Some are stepping into a new level of self-acceptance, embracing every season of their lives.

​

And every single one of them is doing it for the most important reason—themselves.

​

I am here, with gratitude and an open heart, to capture you, celebrate you, and show you the beauty that already exists within you.

 

Thank you for trusting me with this experience. It is my greatest privilege.

​

With love,
Cheyenne

Let’s Set You Up for Success, Babe.

Communication is everything when it comes to making magic together. I’ve had the absolute privilege of doing this full-time for over a decade, capturing thousands of incredible women along the way. And trust me, I’ve heard every concern, every hesitation, and every “What do I do with my hands?!” moment you can imagine.

​

That’s exactly why I created this guide—to take the guesswork out of your session so you know exactly what to expect, feel totally prepared, and walk in with confidence.

​

Take a little time to read through this, think about what feels best for you, and let me know if there’s anything specific you want me to know before your session. The more we align, the more we can create something that truly celebrates you.

​

Now, go ahead, dive in—I promise it’s worth it.

Welcome

YOU WILL NOT BE THE FIRST PERSON I CAN’T GET A GOOD PHOTO OF—BECAUSE THAT PERSON DOESN’T EXIST.

 

Let’s get one thing straight—you don’t need to be a model, know how to pose, or have any experience in front of the camera to have stunning photos. You just need to show up, and I’ll take care of the rest.

I hear it all the time: “I’m so awkward.” “I’m not photogenic.” “I won’t know what to do!”

​

Girl, I got you. My job isn’t just to take photos—it’s to create an experience where you feel at ease, empowered, and freaking gorgeous. I’ll guide you through every pose, every movement, every moment. I’ll get to know you. I’ll hype you up. I’ll make sure you feel safe, comfortable, and celebrated. And by the end of it? You’ll wonder why you ever doubted yourself in the first place.

​

YOU DESERVE TO BE CAPTURED—RIGHT NOW, EXACTLY AS YOU ARE.

​

One of the biggest myths I want to crush is the idea that you have to “look a certain way” or “wait until you feel better about yourself” before booking a boudoir session.

​

No one—and I mean NO ONE—walks into my studio, strips down, and declares, “I am perfect. You’re welcome.”

But you know what happens? They leave saying, “Wow, I can’t believe that’s me.”

​

Waiting until you reach some imaginary version of “ready” will only delay the confidence boost you deserve right now.Boudoir isn’t about looking a certain way—it’s about feeling a certain way. And feeling amazing about yourself?

 

That’s the biggest (and best) side effect of this experience.

Welcome

ACNE, BRUISES, AND LITTLE BLEMISHES? DON’T SWEAT IT.

​

I get it—life happens. Stress pimples, random bruises, that one cut you have no idea where it came from…they have a funny way of showing up right before your shoot. But don’t worry—I’ll take care of those minor, temporary things in retouching.

​

As for scars and stretch marks? Those are a part of your story, and I think they’re beautiful. If you’d like them softened or removed, just let me know. Otherwise, I’m here to celebrate every inch of you, just as you are.

​

The bottom line? You are worthy of this experience, exactly as you are today. No more waiting. No more second-guessing. Let’s make magic together. 

ALL ABOUT THE PREP
|

SELF-CARE IS KEY—TREAT YOURSELF LIKE THE GODDESS YOU ARE

Your boudoir session is all about celebrating YOU, and the best way to show up feeling your most confident is to give yourself a little extra love in the days leading up to your shoot. Here’s how to prep so you feel amazing from head to toe:

​

  • Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Glowing skin starts from within, so drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. Your skin (and body) will thank you!

  • Moisturize daily. Soft, smooth skin enhances your natural glow, so be sure to lather up with your favorite lotion.

  • Exfoliate gently. A light exfoliation (especially if you self-tan) will help remove any dry skin, leaving you with a fresh, smooth canvas.

  • Stretch it out. Boudoir may look effortless, but think of it as a mix of yoga and a killer core workout—you’ll be arching, elongating, and holding poses in ways you’re not used to. While I’ll guide you through everything, a little light stretching the night before can help prevent any stiffness and make it easier to flow through the session.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP

MINDSET MATTERS—STEP INTO CONFIDENCE BEFORE YOU STEP IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA

​

Boudoir isn’t just about beautiful photos—it’s about how you see yourself. And that starts in your mind before you even step into the studio.

It’s totally normal to feel nervous, but here’s the truth: You are already worthy, already beautiful, already enough.Your session isn’t about “fixing” anything—it’s about celebrating everything that makes you, YOU.

​

AFFIRMATIONS TO EMBODY YOUR POWER:

  • Repeat these to yourself leading up to your session:

  • I am worthy of feeling confident in my skin.

  • My body is strong, beautiful, and uniquely mine.

  • I deserve to be celebrated exactly as I am today.

  • I am stepping into this experience with excitement and self-love.

  • I choose to see myself through a lens of kindness and appreciation.

​

MENTAL PREP EXERCISES:

  • Mirror Time: Each day, stand in front of the mirror and say one thing you love about yourself—out loud. Watch how your perspective shifts.

  • Journal It Out: Write a love letter to yourself. What do you admire about your strength, resilience, or beauty? What makes you feel good in your own skin?

  • Curate Your Confidence Playlist: Pick songs that make you feel powerful, beautiful, and unstoppable. Blast it before your session.

  • Visualize Your Power: Close your eyes and imagine yourself in the studio—laughing, glowing, moving with ease. Picture the confidence flowing through you.

​

Above all, give yourself grace. This experience is about embracing and loving yourself right now, as you are. Walk into it knowing that you are enough, worthy, and absolutely breathtaking. 

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING

|

 

IT’S EASIER, MORE COMFORTABLE, AND MORE EMPOWERING THAN YOU THINK—PROMISE.

​

Listen, nerves are normal. Everyone feels them. But here’s the thing—I’ve got you. I know exactly how to guide you through this experience so it feels effortless, fun, and even a little freeing.

​

Before we dive in, we’ll have a little chat to go over your “homework” (yep, there’s a fun one!) and make sure we’re fully aligned on your vision. This is your experience, and I want you to feel confident in how it unfolds.

I’ll walk you through how the shoot will flow—organically, with plenty of time for chit-chat, a deep breath, or even a little dance break if the mood strikes.

​

You’ll step into the restroom to slip into your chosen outfit (or if you’re embracing a nude set, I’ll have a luxe robe waiting for you). Then, it’s time to begin.

​

I’ll start by gently guiding you into position, demonstrating each movement, and helping you settle in. The first 10 minutes? Think of it as a warm-up—this is your time to ease into being in front of the camera. I’ll be observing how you naturally move, capturing a few test shots, and adjusting my settings all while we chat. There’s zero pressure in this part (though let’s be real—we always get stunning shots here).

​

Once we’re warmed up, the magic truly begins. I’ll be inspired by you—your energy, your presence, your essence. From here, the pace picks up as I guide you through poses that feel both effortless and powerful. You’ll hear me hyping you up the entire time because, truly, you’re killing it. 

​

The flow of the session is completely natural, with each movement and pose unfolding beautifully. The longer the shoot you’ve booked, the more variety we’ll create—so expect a gorgeous mix of soft, sultry, strong, and captivating imagery.

​

As we near the end, I’ll check in to see if there’s anything you want to capture before we wrap up. Because I’m not the only one who gets inspired in these sessions—you will, too. And I’m always here to bring your ideas to life.

​

And then, the grand finale. This is when I guide you through a rapid-fire series of movements and expressions, capturing a flurry of images that tend to be some of my absolute favorites—raw, real, and radiating confidence.

​

Before you know it, time has disappeared. You’ll be left wondering how it went by so fast and if we even got anything good. (Spoiler: We got everything—and then some.)

​

And the best part? You’ll leave walking taller, feeling prouder, and texting your best friend about how damn good you feel. You’ll feel seen. Because I saw you. The real you. And she’s absolutely stunning.

THE STUDIO SPACE

Every session takes place at the incredible Parlour On Lorraine in Gulfport, Mississippi.
