“do it for you, girl.”
What to expect during your luxury session with SamSlay
The Experience
Upon arrival at the studio, I’ll show you to the spa room where my professional stylist will begin the hair and makeup process. As the stylist is wrapping up her finishing touches we will review your outfit choices together, select your two favorites and get started! In the studio, I’ll guide you through every pose step by step, there is no guesswork! Be prepared to feel like a rockstar. Galleries are delivered via private link online 2-6 weeks following the session unless you choose to view them in person. Digitals, Wall Art and Albums are available for purchase at any time after your gallery has been delivered.

“… all of my anxiety was immediately alleviated”
This was by far the BEST experience behind the camera that I have ever had! I have never done a boudoir photoshoot and I was little nervous coming into this. But the minute I met Sam, all of my anxiety was immediately alleviated. She is the sweetest, kindest human and made me feel so comfortable! Every woman should experience a boudoir shoot. It is the most beautiful and empowering feeling I have ever felt! It is absolutely worth it to invest the time and money in yourself. I can’t want to come back for another photoshoot! Thank you so much for everything, you’re the best.
10 Boudoir Tips
Do not spray tan. Please refrain from spray tanning! Your natural skin tone will photograph best! I have had clients have malfunctions with their spray tanner which has resulted in color patches. The spray tanner also settles in every fine line and crease of your skin and will create lines. Be sure to use extra moisturizer to keep your skin from drying out.
TREAT YOURSELF! Go get a manicure and pedicure approximately 2 days before your shoot! If you cannot afford a professional mani- pedi, use polish and make sure that it looks nice and isn’t chipped.
Drink lots of water, exfoliate, moisturize. Spend extra time taking care of your skin because it is going to be your main outfit!
Ask for support if you need it. Bring a friend! Meet with me prior to your session. Whatever helps you relax!
Practice some posing! I will be the first to tell you, the majority of these poses are similar to yoga poses. You will probably be sore after your session!
Wear false eyelashes. If you booked a hair/ makeup artist through me, these lashes will be provided. Fake lashes help give you an extra boost of confidence! Not to mention, they look amazing on camera.
Eat before you arrive. Do not starve yourself. Don’t do anything drastic like a cleanse or fasting. Posing for boudoir sessions is kind of similar to yoga. You’ll be using muscles you normally don’t and will occasionally be inverted laying down. I don’t want you to feel lightheaded. The small amount of body change you feel from cleansing or fasting will not be visible in your final images. I photograph everyone so their body looks amazing. Even if you think you may be a bit bloated after eating, you won’t be able to tell in your images!
Trust your photographer! Trust me, girlfriend! I will pose you in ways that are flattering to YOUR figure! Be sure to communicate with me plenty beforehand if you are feeling anxious. This shoot is all about YOU and the most important thing that you are comfortable and have a good time!
Try your outfits on before arriving for your session. Also, SamSlay Photography has a client wardrobe available if all else fails.
DON’T STRESS!

“..leave feeling like the sexiest woman alive..”
“I want to start off by saying this was the most incredible experience! Before I arrived for my session, I was very nervous but once I got in front of that camera Sam made me feel so comfortable. With every “oh I love it” and “yes keep that pose” from Sam, I started feeling more confident and not so self conscious. This is definitely an experience I would and have recommended to so many women. If you are feeling self conscious, you need to book a session! You will leave feeling like the sexiest woman alive! I had my hair and makeup done by Mikayla she did a phenomenal job! She asked if I wanted a wild or soft look (of course I chose wild) and she delivered!! These ladies are so kind and make you feel welcome the second you arrive! I will be booking another session in the future and so should you!

“… you have found the right place”
Sam was awesome. I have had a couple of sessions before with other people and never felt the comfort and professionalism as I did with her. Meets you at the door and welcomes you in, ask you if you need a drink. She even looked at my outfits just to make sure I had everything I needed. Explains how to lay, where to position my hands, and how to arch your back. Just overall a great session. If you are looking for a great experience look no farther, you have found the right place.
