The Ultimate Self Love Experience
Oooooh, girl. Are you ready for this?! This booking guide is meant to get your head in the game to love every inch of yourself! We've collected all of our frequently asked questions and put them in a sexy guide for you to get a little familiar with Sarah Rachel Boudoir and begin planning your very own boudoir experience!
At Sarah Rachel Boudoir I want all women to embrace their unique beauty and celebrate their innate femininity. I believe that “sexy” doesn’t have an age, a dress size, or lifestyle. You can be sexy in lingerie and you can be sexy in jeans and a t-shirt. Sexy is a sensation, not an aesthetic. I believe every woman deserves to live a life filled with passion, intimacy, and an impenetrable sense of self worth. We want you to be in love with you, your whole self.
This is a call to love the skin you’re in! Sarah Rachel Boudoir ladies are on a journey to accept themselves and the bodies they were given. You can’t take care of something you don’t love. So, take time out of each day to check yourself out, be kind to yourself, and validate that you are enough. You deserve a life filled with love. Whether you're already there, on the journey, or need me to jumpstart you, I’m here to be your cheerleader in loving the gorgeous woman you are!
Do it for YOURSELF!
Boudoir is an expression of sexuality and liberation. While an album makes a fantastic gift for a partner, make sure you’re doing this for the right reasons. The album might be for them, but the experience is for you. Get ready to bring out that Boss Babe and rock your session.
Give yourself permission to be sexy and express your sensuality. We are going to focus on these three things:
Brains. Beauty. Booty.
Self Discovery
During your time with me, as you prepare for your session, I want this to be an entire celebration of yourself. You are doing something that requires confidence and courage... two things women often express they sometimes lack in their lives. Boudoir can be an awesome exercise in testing yourself to try something a little outside of your comfort zone. And you get to look super hot doing it.
So, whether you are trying to be better connected to your femininity or you want to straight up celebrate it, we’ve got the perfect experience to spice things up a little and give you an album that you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.
And don’t forget, it’s all about YOU! I give you permission to be the hottest chick in the room and I’ll help you own that mindset. You’ll be glad you did this.
What's your level of comfort?
Bring on the Lingerie!
There are plenty of lingerie options that are fun and sexy and can also cover up any 'problem areas' you want to de-emphasise. Lingerie, like a good demi bra or a bustier for example, will help to emphasise your breasts if those are your best assets. We can go as tame, or as red hot, as you'd like here.
Partial Skin
Right off the coattails of "Bring on the Lingerie," we've got styling options that will show more and more. A bra and pant set is always a great option if you want to show off your abs. Right now I am LOVING strappy lingerie.
Implied Nude
Like a white sheet session, we'll create the illusion of nudity by covering your breasts. If you want the nude experience without have to actually BE nude, a g-string thong is easily removed in post processing for side shots of the body.
Fine Art Nude
Women's bodies are truly beautiful forms. If you are so inclined, you may opt for some of the session to go totally nude. I'll pose you in classic fine art framing and focus on the landscape of your body. This is the most amazing opportunity to see your body the way an artist does.
What makes YOU feel sexy?
Take a moment to really think about what makes you feel sexy. Are you a red hot vixen, are you playful-sexy, are you innocent and sweet... a combination of the three? I'll want to know this when we get into your session. The feminine spirit is beautifully complex and each session I aim to show the fullest range of your wonderful personality.
Session Prep
Hydrate. A week before your session, increase your water intake! We want soft, glowing skin and staying hydrated will definitely aid in that.
Nails. A detail often overlooked. Either treat yourself to a mani/pedi 1-3 days before your session, or make sure you come in with clean trimmed nails. Try to avoid wild fashion colors that will conflict with your outfit choices or the neutral tones of the studio. Your hands will be more present in your gallery than you might think!
Hair. PROMISE us you won't hit up the hair salon and make a drastic change the day before your session. If you'd like a touch up or a cut and color, try to schedule this appointment a week before your session. That gives you plenty of time for corrective measure should the worst happen.
Waxing/Shaving. Use your best judgement on waxing based on the growth rate of your hair if this is something you intend on doing. Give yourself at least 48 hrs for your body to reduce any inflammation. Shaving can be done the morning of your session.
Packing. Pack your bag the night before. There might be enough nerves and jitters without running around doing last minute packing.
Sleep. Get plenty of sleep! Literally talking about beauty rest here. It will really do wonders for your mindset and that gorgeous face of yours!
And finally, come to the studio with clean, dry hair. Give it a good wash and blowout the morning of your session so our hair & makeup artist can work her artistic magic. Also come in with a clean, moisturised face. Unless you have any specific allergies or skin conditions and need to apply your own foundation, we've got you covered!
Frequently Asked Questions
"What if I've never been a model?"
I’ve got you. All the women you see in our gallery are real women, just like you. I will pose your body down to your littlest finger. I will also coach your expression to get those sultry looks you see in the gallery. Most of the ladies come in having never been professionally photographed, and our team insures they leave feeling (and looking) like a super model.
"I don't know what I would wear.”
Select outfits that suit your personality and body shape, and complement your skin tone. If you need help with outfit ideas, or you’d like a consultation to discuss wardrobe, send me an email! You can get some ideas on Pinterest as well.
"Do you offer payment plans?"
I do! I try to make this experience as accessible to women as possible. Financing options will be covered in your consultation!
"Do my images need to be shared on social media?"
I 100% value the privacy of my clients. I do not share any images on social media without your explicit consent. At your reveal I’ll walk you through the "Permission Slip," and you may choose out of 4 options: a full release, a partial release, anonymous photos only, or you may choose to waive it entirely and keep the photos just for you.
"When can I book my session?"
Typically I book 2-3 months in advance. So, keep this in mind if you are planning for a specific celebration date. For example, we start shooting for Christmas August to early-November, and Valentine's Day November to early-January.
"When do you shoot sessions?"
We shoot sessions on weekdays. Each session begins at 10:00am.
"When will I receive my products?"
You'll get your mobile app right away with your purchase paid in full! Plan for about 4-6 weeks until I have your order back from the lab and packaged. You'll receive an email from me on available times for you to pick up your order!

Let's Get This Out of the Way
By this point, you have an idea of what the process looks like and you have seen plenty of images of awesome chicks. Some of you may be wondering things like: will I look good doing this? Do I have the confidence for boudoir? What if I don't like how I look? Am I good enough for this? Can I spend that kind of money on myself? If you have transcended these feelings of self doubt, go ahead and skip to the next section! But, if you need a few words of encouragement, then read on.
Let me first say that boudoir is for every woman and every body type. My promise to you is our creative team will show you the most beautiful images of yourself you've ever seen. Sexy does not have a dress size. You will be posed and coached the whole way. The session is a fluid conversation all about YOU and what makes you your sexy self.
A note about confidence. There is a common misconception about what confidence is. Confidence is earned from doing things that require you to be brave! Hardly any of my clients walk right into their sessions feeling like super models. It's my job to pull that out of you. And if you don't think I can, then I personally challenge you to let me try! Join the women who are pushing out of their comfort zones and showing themselves the courage from within.
You are good enough. You are good enough to go after anything you want. Sometimes life happens. And sometimes those things leave us with negative self beliefs. What if I told you those negative beliefs about your body and your beauty just aren't true? What if I showed you?
I serve women of all different income levels. Our yearly salaries do not dictate who we are as people; or as women. No matter what amount of money you spend on your session, YOU are worth every penny. You are making a proprietary investment in your youth, beauty, and self worth.

You want in? Here's how we get the party started!
Your session fee and signed contract officially book your date. Often I book ladies several months out, and that date cannot be given to anyone else. For this reason, the session fee is non-refundable.
Products and images are sold separately. Your session fee commissions our creative team to produce stunning images for you, and what you decide to purchase at your reveal is entirely up to you! This way, you are only walking away with artwork you absolutely love. On average, women are spending approximately £1100 on their collections. *Prices are subject to change.
To book your session fill out this questionnaire and together we'll plan you the most amazing experience!
