Peek Inside a Real Boudoir Session | Vancleave, MS
What to Expect When You Book with Candace Gurley Photography
The nervous excitement is kicking in.
What should you wear? What will the studio be like? Will you feel awkward?
Take a breath, beautiful. We’ve got you.
Whether this is your first photo shoot or you’re returning for another confidence boost, my goal is always the same: to make sure you feel safe, empowered, and absolutely stunning from start to finish.
Here’s what a typical boudoir experience looks like at my studio in Vancleave, MS—your journey from butterflies to boldness.
💄 Step 1: Glam Time
When you arrive at the studio, we’ll chat for a few minutes and introduce you to my incredible professional makeup artist.
You’ll get the full star treatment as we discuss the look you’re going for. Whether you want bold and sultry or soft and romantic, we’ll make it happen—together. You can even sip something bubbly while you relax in the chair!
👗 Step 2: Wardrobe Styling
Once you’re glowing, it’s time to talk outfits.
We’ll look through the 3–6 pieces you’ve brought (you’ll wear 3–4), and I’ll help you style the perfect looks. Need more options? No problem!
Our Client Wardrobe is included in your session and stocked with over 200 pieces in sizes S–4X, including:
Bodysuits
Two-piece sets
Robes
Bustiers
Body chains & accessories
You’ll have plenty of looks that fit and flatter your unique beauty.
📸 Step 3: The Photo Shoot
We’ll start with the outfit that feels the most natural to you, then work through your remaining looks.
And don’t worry about posing—I’ve got you! I guide you through every pose, facial expression, and angle. I’ll even show you sneak peeks on the back of the camera so you can see how incredible you look in real time.
This is your time to shine. No pressure. No judgment. Just pure empowerment.
💬 Step 4: Product Preview + Reveal Scheduling
After the shoot, I’ll show you our most-loved product options—albums, wall art, and more—and walk you through what’s available.
We’ll also schedule your private in studio or online Reveal & Ordering Appointment for 5–14 days later. No overwhelming galleries, just a guided experience focused on selecting what you love most.
🎥 Step 5: The Reveal Experience
At your appointment, we’ll start with a custom slideshow of your images (yes, tissues are encouraged!).
Then we’ll choose your favorites and design your album, wall art, or other heirloom products together. If you're considering wall art, send me a pic of the space—bedrooms, closets, and bathrooms all make gorgeous display spots.
🎁 Step 6: Delivery Day
Once your final payment is complete, your products will arrive in about 3–5 weeks—just in time for your next milestone or just because you deserve it.
💕 The Full Circle Confidence Experience
From nervous energy to radiant confidence, this experience is designed to celebrate you.
You’re not just booking a photo shoot.
You’re stepping into a space where you get to be seen, celebrated, and reminded just how powerful and beautiful you already are.
