RAIN ROOM SESSIONS

PREP GUIDE

The best answer:

DON’T. OVER. THINK. IT. 

Since this is not traditional boudoir, you don’t have to wear lingerie (unless you want to!) But here’s some other ideas that would totally fit the Rain Room set:

• Bikini or Bathing Suit

• Bodysuits (stay away from ‘heavy’ materials though, like sweater type or thick cotton)

• Tank top with panties or thong (tank top material needs to be super THIN and preferably see-through, and stick with white or light solids)

• Sheer Robe (lace or the see-through kind)

• Lingerie (just make sure it’s something that is not ultra fancy and get absolutely ruined if it got wet)

• Just go nude or with panties

I SUGGEST STAYING AWAY FROM:

• Anything with patterns…solids are best
• Neon anything…just don’t do it 🙂

Those who have purchased a Premium Rain Room session have access to the Studio Wardrobe. We have bodysuits and lingerie pieces from S-4X.

Traditional items like bras and panties, (like an actual bra with panty bottoms) you’ll need to bring with you.

MAKEUP

*Note: All PREMIUM Rain Room sessions include a makeup stylist as part of your shoot. Just come with clean face (no makeup).

FOR RAIN ROOM ESSENTIALS + X2 SHOOTS:

Your shoot does not include a makeup stylist, but I’ll be upfront—this is not traditional boudoir or headshots. You can totally get away with just going natural or with minimal makeup . Should you choose to come with makeup or go to an artist before your shoot, please be aware of the following:

Foundation (depending on the type) can look wayyyy overdone compared to your real skin. I suggest not applying foundation at all and just do lipstick and mascara (waterproof of course!).

Eye Makeup: Probably best to stay away from any eye makeup that is powder based.

ACCESSORIES

SKIN + NAILS

Most clients worry about not having the ‘perfect’ flawless body for their shoot and I’m here to tell ya, A) I’ve never seen a flawless body and B) don’t worry about it. Have bruising or a wound that is still healing? It’s TOTALLY FINE. That is what editing is for! 🙂

I DON’T RECOMMEND:

Excessive Tanning. If you feel you need a little color then go for it but I suggest getting a full, even body tan via spray or old fashioned booth (but avoiding severe tan lines). A big reason—whatever you wear for the shoot (or if you decide to be nude for some shots), having really dark legs and a super white butt doesn’t photograph well.

Neon Colored Nails. In the event you are going to be wearing multiple outfits, my suggestion is you go with a neutral color, nude or even clear. Also, please have your toenails match your fingernails! You’ll thank me later.

JEWELRY:

Totally optional. But if you’re going to bring it, fyi really delicate small jewely does not really show up in the photos. If you want jewelry to show it should be big, chunky and noticeble. 

Please be aware, if you choose to wear any fake/costume jewelry, it will get WET. Depending on what you wear, getting it wet might not work well with water and turn colors afterward.

SHOES

Because this is Rain Room set and you will be drenched with water, there is no reason for shoes.
