Preparation GUIDE
FOR YOUR BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE
Bonjour,
I’m so excited to welcome you into my sanctuary, my boudoir studio.
This boudoir experience is more than just a photoshoot, it’s a moment for you to reconnect with yourself, to feel confident, sensual, and truly seen.
I’ve created this guide to help you feel fully prepared, relaxed, and excited for your day.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Day of Transformation
From the moment you walk through the doors, this day is entirely about you. We’ve designed a seamless, luxurious timeline to ensure you feel pampered and empowered.
Arrival & Styling: We’ll start with a coffee and a chat to settle any nerves. You’ll show me the lingerie pieces you’ve brought, and we’ll curate the look that best tell your story. You will then get pampered by my hair and makeup artist to ensure you feel and look your best.
The Session: It’s time to step in front of the lens. We will photograph you for around 15-25 minutes per outfit. Don't worry about "knowing what to do", I will guide and pose you down to your fingertips. You are in safe, expert hands.
The Image Reveal: We will schedule an online private image reveal, for you to discover your images together (I know it can be overwhelming and want to be with you when you see yourself from this new angle), make your selection of digital images and products.
What do I WEAR?
It’s completely normal to feel a mix of excitement and "closet panic" when thinking about your wardrobe. The most important thing to remember is that we aren't just photographing lingerie; we are photographing you. Whether you feel most powerful in delicate lace, a structured bodysuit, an oversized white shirt, or even just your favorite leather jacket, the goal is to choose pieces that make you feel like the most confident version of yourself.
To make this easy for you, I’ve curated The Ultimate BOUDOIR WARDROBE Guide, to sculpt your confidence. Including where to shop for lingerie in Palma, and an exclusive discount in my favourite boutique.
THE COUNTDOWN
Preparing for Your Session
Preparation is the key to confidence. Follow this simple guide to ensure you arrive feeling (and looking) like the best version of yourself.
3–5 Days Before: The Glow Up
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin looking luminous.
Love Your Body: Please do not feel pressured to "starve yourself" or lose weight. You are beautiful exactly as you are right now. My job is to pose you to highlight your best angles—your job is just to show up!
Mani-Pedi: Your hands and feet will be in the spotlight. I recommend a neutral color or a classic French manicure so your nails don’t distract from your beautiful outfits.
The Rehearsal: Try on your outfits one last time. Ensure you feel secure, confident, and comfortable in every piece.
Gentle Stretching: Start a daily 5-minute stretch focusing on your neck, back, and hamstrings. It will make the "model poses" feel much easier and more fluid!
The Day Before: Soften & Pack
Exfoliate & Moisturize: Gently exfoliate your skin and apply a rich moisturizer. Soft, glowing skin is the best canvas for my lighting.
Pack Your Bag: Double-check your outfits, shoes, and any sentimental accessories (like jewelry or a partner’s shirt) you want to include.
The Big Day: Arrival
Hair & Makeup: Arrive with freshly washed and dry hair, cleaned & moisturised face & body.
The "Touch-Up" Kit: Bring your lipstick, powder, and hairbrush with you so we can do quick retouches between sets.
Wear Loose Clothing: This is a pro-secret! Do not wear a bra, tight underwear, or tight socks to the studio. Tight clothing leaves marks on the skin that can take an hour to disappear. Arrive in a loose sundress or oversized loungewear so your skin is flawless and mark-free for the camera.
What to avoid
No New Tattoos or Piercings: Avoid getting any new body modifications 4 weeks before your session to prevent unwanted marks or irritation.
Say No to Fake Tanning: Spray tans can result in uneven color or orange tones that are hard to fix in photos. Avoid them 2 weeks prior to your session.
Steer Clear of Tight Clothing: On the day of your shoot, avoid wearing tight clothing like bras, socks, or jeans that can leave marks on your skin.
No Binge Drinking or Salty Foods: In the days leading up to your session, avoid alcohol and super salty foods, which can dehydrate your skin and cause bloating.
Don’t Skip Meals! Eat a healthy breakfast the morning of your shoot.
More Intimate Considerations
BODY HAIR
This session is for you, so the choice to remove hair or not is entirely yours. Please know that you won’t be judged regardless of your decision.
If you choose to remove hair:
Waxing: If you decide to wax, please do so 4-5 days prior to your session. This timeframe allows any potential redness or irritation to subside, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident on the day of your shoot.
Shaving: If you prefer to shave, aim to do it the night before. This will help ensure your skin is smooth and ready for photos.
What if I’m on my period?
If you’re lucky enough to have a regular cycle, I encourage you to book your photoshoot during your ovulation phase when you may feel more confident and sexy.
But if your period happens to coincide with your session, don’t panic! We’ll work around it. You can use tampons or a menstrual cup, and we’ll take breaks as needed to ensure you feel good.
Starting the day with some gentle stretching can also help alleviate any discomfort.
Body Image
This is a safe space, and I understand it can sometimes be challenging to accept our bodies and love ourselves. I’m so proud that you’re taking this step, as a boudoir experience can significantly boost your confidence. It’s perfectly okay to feel nervous; however, trust me when I say you’ll have lots of fun! I promise you’ll feel 100% comfortable to embrace your sexy self and be the queen of the day.
Affirmations
I am worthy of being celebrated exactly as I am today.
My body is a masterpiece, deserving of luxury, care, and admiration.
I give myself permission to love the woman I see in the mirror.
I am more than a reflection; I am strength, grace, and undeniable beauty.
I deserve to take up space and capture this moment in time forever.
Preserving Your Power
Because your images deserve to live beyond a screen, I offer a range of handcrafted products—from silk-bound albums to statement wall art—designed to celebrate your strength every day.
YOUR PRIVATE SANCTUARY IN THE HEART OF PALMA
Odette Studio
Odette Studio was born from my dream to create a space where women can exhale, where confidence feels quiet and beauty feels real.
Located near Paseo Mallorca, it’s a curated haven of soft light, French elegance, and intimate calm. Every detail, from the textures to the lighting, is designed to make you feel comfortable, seen, and held.
Address: Odette Studio, Carrer Menorca, 1b, 07011 Palma de Mallorca
The Studio is on the first floor, without elevator. The Bell is 1B labelled ‘Odette Studio' - when you arrive, ring the bell, and come up to the first floor, I’ll be welcoming you at the door of the studio. Please arrive at your appointment time.
Parking: the best option is the underground parking of Paseo Mallorca. There’s street blue zone parking but limited to 2 hours which is not enough time.
Your Privacy is My Priority
Your photos are 100% confidential. I understand that this is a deeply personal experience, and I want you to feel entirely secure knowing your images are private.
You Are in Control
You decide exactly how—or if—your images are used. At your reveal, you can choose:
No Release: Your images stay strictly between us.
Anonymous Release: I may share "detail" shots that do not show your face.
Full Release: You allow me to share your beautiful transformation to inspire other women.
“There was a moment midway through the shoot where I looked at myself in the mirror and just had a wave of ‘Wow, this is me… and I look really good’. ”
Adele! Thank you so so so much for this incredible day 🤍
There was a moment midway through the shoot where I looked at myself in the mirror and just had a wave of “Wow, this is me… and i look really good”. Which I don’t think has happened in a long time…
I can’t wait to see the final photos but just the experience on its own has already made me feel so fabulous in my own skin.
Thank you again 🤍

Last minute checklist
Hair & Face: Arrive with freshly washed & dried hair, and a clean moisturised face. Ready for professional hair and makeup.
Moisturize: Apply moisturizer to your body for a smooth, glowing look.
Clothing: Avoid wearing any tight clothing to prevent marks on your skin.
Timing: Plan for plenty of time for traffic and parking to arrive without stress.
Outfit Preparation: Pack all of your outfits, and don’t forget jewellery, accessories, and shoes. (I have a steamer if anything needs to be freshened up—don’t worry!)
Nails: Ensure your nails are in good shape, and consider a fresh manicure & pedicure or a neutral polish to keep things timeless.
Hydration & Snacks: Drink plenty of water and consider bringing a light snack to keep your energy up.
Personal Items: Bring any items that make you feel confident or relaxed, like a favorite perfume or a little note of encouragement.
Positive Mindset: Take a moment to set your intentions for the day and embrace the excitement!
Post-Session BLISS
After your session, you may feel a mix of exhilaration and fatigue—it’s a lot to process! Consider doing some gentle stretches at home, as you’ll likely have tried some new poses that your body isn’t used to.
Take some time to reflect on your experience. Think about how you felt during the shoot and how empowering it was to dedicate a day just for yourself. I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to message me and share your feelings after this amazing experience.
"A woman who knows her worth has the power to change the world."
Everything is in place for your transformation. I am so ready to welcome you into the studio for a day dedicated entirely to your power, your beauty, and a deep, luxurious indulgence in who you are.
This isn't just about a camera—it's about how it feels to step into your most confident, magnetic self. We are going to create something breathtaking together.
