How to Prepare for Your Session: Skin, Hair, and Nails

The week before

Drink more water than usual, sleep when you can, and avoid trying anything brand new on your skin. This is not the week for a new product, a strong peel, or a first-time wax. Keep everything familiar so there are no surprises.

Your complimentary spray tan

Your session includes a complimentary Signature Spray at Model Behavior Beauty Bar  in Camp Hill or Hershey. We recommend booking it 2 to 4 days before your session, and it is a lovely way to add a subtle glow. We currently ask that you only tan with Model Behavior and not anywhere else. Different salons use different formulas and application methods that can photograph off-color or leave lines, and those are not always something we can edit out. It’s optional, and we’ll send your booking code closer to your date.

Skin, hair, and nails

Gently exfoliate 2 to 3 days before, not the night before, and moisturize daily. Wash your hair the night before or that morning and arrive with it completely blow dried, no products. Fresh, clean nails in a neutral or classic shade photograph beautifully. And before your session, we send you a full hair and makeup prep guide so you know exactly how to arrive.

The morning of

Eat something, wear loose clothing that won’t leave marks, and arrive with a clean face. Then simply enjoy your day (here’s what that day looks like: What Actually Happens on Session Day)

I had an absolutely amazing experience with 3mpower Women Boudoir Photography! From start to finish, everything felt so professional, welcoming, and empowering. Gina and her team are incredible—they’re knowledgeable, supportive, and truly know how to make you feel comfortable in your own skin. I was a little nervous going in, but they guided me through every step, helped with posing, and created such a relaxed, judgment-free environment. What I loved most is that they don’t just take photos—they build your confidence and make you feel strong, beautiful, and seen. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the experience, not just the end product. If you’ve ever been on the fence about doing a boudoir shoot—this is your sign. You’ll walk out feeling like a completely different woman. Highly recommend!
