Preparing for Your Boudoir Session

Preparing for your boudoir session should be a luxurious experience. As a Metro Detroit Boudoir and Motherhood photographer as well as a mama to two kiddos myself, I know all too well how this phase of life is both beautiful and exhausting. Self-care is one of the most important things we as mothers need to do, yet so many of us tend to put it on the back burner.

Whether you’re a new mom, expecting a baby, or simply a woman who needs a well-earned escape, these luxurious spas in Metro Detroit offer the perfect opportunity to relax and embrace self-care.

These spa retreats are also an amazing way to prepare and pamper yourself for a photography session, regardless if it’s maternity or boudoir. You can even justify them for a self-care day before a family session to ensure you feeling refreshed and beautiful – and you don’t get stressed with the kiddos : )
