Unveiling the Secrets: An Inside Look at Boudoir Photo Sessions

You’ve seen the photos — bold, beautiful, and completely confident. But what really happens behind the scenes of a boudoir session? At Lisa Gallant Photography, we’re all about creating a stress-free, luxury experience that brings out your most authentic self. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, a relationship, or simply YOU, here’s a peek at what your day will look like inside our Summerville, SC boudoir studio.

1. The Warm Welcome

From the moment you step into the studio, you’ll be greeted with warmth (and usually coffee or mimosas). You’ll meet your makeup artist and stylist, settle into the glam chair, and we’ll talk about your outfits and the sets we’ll be shooting on.

2. Professional Glam Time

Your session starts with professional hair and makeup — this isn’t just pampering; it’s a confidence reset. Our artists know how to create soft, sexy, or bold looks that photograph beautifully and reflect your personality.

3. The Shoot — and Yes, You’ll Know Exactly What to Do

Nervous about posing? You’re not alone — and that’s why we guide you every step of the way. I’ll demonstrate poses and coach you from head to toe so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands (or face!).

4. The Reveal and Beyond

After your session, we'll take a short break allowing you to have some lunch and Lisa to edit your photos. You’ll come into the office for your image reveal — where you’ll see yourself through a whole new lens. We'll go through all of your photos. Our staff will help you choose your favorite images, design your luxury albums and wall art. It’s emotional, empowering, and unforgettable.
