HelloI’M SO GLAD YOU FOUND ME
I am so thrilled that you have chosen to embark on this journey with me. I am Hailley, your newfound hype girl, here to guide you through a transformative experience that will leave you feeling empowered, confident, and beautiful. As a photographer with a passion for capturing the essence of self-worth and inner strength, my goal is not just to take photos but to create a visual narrative that celebrates all that makes you uniquely you. I am here to be your guide and your cheerleader. Together, we will create images that showcase the powerful, beautiful, and unique person that you are. Thank you for trusting me with this important task - I can't wait to see you shine. Get acquainted with the whole team below!
THE PREP GUIDE
All the insight you need to prepare for your upcoming self-worth session.
You’re a smoke show
Embracing your inner goddess is a beautiful journey towards self-love and empowerment. It's completely normal to feel nervous about booking a self-worth session, but remember that you are taking a brave step towards honoring and celebrating yourself.
When preparing for your session, take some time to reflect on what makes you feel empowered and confident. Surround yourself with positive energy and affirmations to help boost your self-esteem.
Remember that you are not alone on this journey. Your photographer is here to support you and create a safe and empowering space for you to shine. Trust in the process and allow yourself to be vulnerable, as this is where true growth and transformation happens.
A space where boundaries are respected
In my studio, your comfort and consent are top priorities. I want you to feel comfortable throughout our session. I will never pressure you into anything you are not comfortable with. Your boundaries are respected here.
I aim to provide you with a space where you can truly be yourself. My sessions are focused on making you feel beautiful and confident. I do not offer erotic sessions, as my goal is to help you shine in a way that feels authentic to you.
Self-love and empowerment are at the core of my sessions. I want you to walk away from our time together feeling confident and empowered. Your beauty and uniqueness deserve to be celebrated, and I am here to capture that for you.
Before you arrive
Have you ever looked in the mirror and truly appreciated the unique features that make you who you are? It may sound silly, but taking a minute to embrace your individuality can make all the difference when it comes to capturing your essence in a photograph.
Before your appointment date, give yourself a little self-love day. Treat yourself to a 'girl shower' where you pamper yourself from head to toe. Shave, exfoliate, and maybe even indulge in a luxurious bath bomb to relax and unwind. Take the time to paint your nails or book a nail appointment, because every little detail counts when it comes to feeling confident and beautiful.
If tanning is your thing, make sure to plan ahead and tan at least a week before your session. This will ensure that there are no residue marks left on my equipment and will help you avoid any awkward tan lines that may show up in your photos. Self-care is not only important for your physical appearance, but it can also help boost your self-confidence and make you feel like the best version of yourself.
Practice different facial expressions in the mirror before your session. Experiment with a smile, a smirk, or a serious gaze to see what feels most natural to you. Confidence is key when it comes to photography, and being comfortable in your own skin will shine through in your photos.
Remember, your photos should be a reflection of who you are and what makes you unique.
The day of your session
First and foremost, before you arrive for your session, I highly recommend taking a few minutes to stretch your body. I like to think of boudoir as a form of "yoga." It can be a bit uncomfortable at times and you might feel sore afterwards. But by stretching at home beforehand, you can help eliminate any pain you may feel after your appointment.
I recommend wearing loose-fitting clothes, ditching the bra during the makeup portion. Let go of anything that constricts you and inhibits your natural beauty from shining through. This also helps avoid any unwanted imprints on your skin during your shoot.
When you arrive for your session, it's not just about taking photos it's about creating a whole experience for you. I want you to feel confident in front of the camera, as we get started, I'll ask you about your favorite music and put on some tunes to set the mood. Music has a way of lifting our spirits and getting us in the zone.
What should I bring?
Bring outfit(s) that make you feel confident and beautiful. It's all about expressing your unique style and personality during your shoot. If you are planning on using the client closet bring no show undies ( I recommend bring a black and nude pair. )
Don't forget accessories like jewelry or a pair of heels to add some flair to your photos. These little details can make a big difference in how you feel during the shoot.
Another item to consider bringing is body lotion. Keeping your skin moisturized will help you feel more confident and showcase your natural beauty.
Most importantly, bring a positive and open mind to your experience. Embrace your unique beauty and let your personality shine through in your photos. Remember, this is all about celebrating yourself and feeling confident in your skin.
Arriving at the studio
When you arrive at your session, I want you to leave all your worries & insecurities at the door.
It's best to come with a moisturized/clean face and completely dry hair (not in a ponytail for the best styling). Washing your hair the night before is a great idea for optimal results. (If you love your natural locks, just wear them as you normally would and let's show them off!)
I want you to feel relaxed during our time together, so feel free to grab a snack from our snack bar and help yourself to some cold water while you get a little pampering. If you have any specific preferences, feel free to bring them along with you. I know we'll be spending a couple hours together, and I want you to feel comfortable and taken care of every step of the way.
Outfit ideas for your shoot
I know sometimes there's this pressure to wear lingerie or something super fancy, but really, you can wear whatever makes you feel amazing and comfortable. I mean, a cozy sweater, a pair of favorite jeans with just a cute bra, or even a sweet pj set can look just as beautiful and make you feel confident and happy. It’s up to you!
If you're not sure what to bring, don't worry! You are more than welcome to raid my client closet, which is stocked with a variety of sizes and styles that cater to a vintage and elegant aesthetic. I even have feather wings and robes that can be added to your collection for a fun and whimsical touch to your photoshoot.
If you prefer to bring your own outfits, I highly recommend checking out some of my favorite shops for inspiration:
Online
-Victoria's Secret ( I especially love the For Love and Lemons brand!)
-Thistle and Spire offer some STUNNING pieces.
-You can also browse through Shein and Lounge for more affordable options.
If you prefer shopping in-person
-Blue Boutique in Layton.
-Lace by Louise in Bountiful has some gorgeous selections to choose from!
I truly believe that any outfit can work on any body type. It's all about your comfort zone and what makes you feel good. Don't be afraid to try something new during our shoot—you might just surprise yourself.
Empower Coaching
After you are all dolled up, depending on the collection you chose, you will get to sit down with Shelby for a little pep-talk. Shelby's gentle guidance and wisdom will help you explore what empowerment means to you, leaving you with a sense of clarity and purpose that extends far beyond the walls of the studio. Coaching may sound intimidating, but she has a way of making you feel at ease, as if you are talking to an old friend who only wants the best for you.
The Session
After your empowering conversation, we will dive into outfits and start your session. When it comes to outfit choices, we've got you covered. Whether you're diving into our client closet or bringing your own pieces, we'll work together to create looks that make you feel like a million bucks. And during the session, I'll be there every step of the way, guiding you through poses, adjusting hair and outfits, and ensuring that you look and feel your absolute best.
The Reveal
When your session is complete we can schedule your reveal session. At your reveal you get to view all of your images with me in a beautiful slideshow, it's like unwrapping a gift you didn't even know you had. As you review your images, you'll see yourself in a new light, radiating confidence and beauty. It's a moment of celebration and self-love, a reminder of the incredible woman you are.
QUESTIONNAIRE
If you’re a new client, I would like to invite you to fill out my client questionnaire. This simple form helps me get to know you better & tailor your experience to suit your unique personality.
samantha Brennan“ I was 300+ pounds when I did my first boudoir with Hailley and let me tell you, I was TERRIFIED. So scared I would hate myself in the photos, too afraid to give me permission to post my photos. All I could focus on were my own insecurities and yet, I wanted to do the shoot because I craved love for myself. I found that, as scary as the first step was I would do it all over in a heartbeat. I encourage every single one of you to take that step too. I have now done many sessions with Hailley and each is magic to your soul. “

Tayler BatesI keep showing everyone my photos because I am OBSESSED and I just need everyone to see them. The confidence booster was needed and Hailley truly does the best job. I just love her! And I absolutely love doing shoots with her. She really just knows how to make a girl feel good about herself. Not to mention, the album quality I received blew me away. “
Kylee Jo“ Hailley differs from other photogs, I’m not saying they aren’t great but Hailley always goes the extra mile. She spends hours creating one-of-a-kind sets. Her passion doesn’t stop at photography she genuinely wants women to feel confident. Her galleries are STUNNING, you get more than what you pay for. Her edits are clean, crisp, and something you can’t find somewhere else. This makes your photos timeless, so in five years, your photos are still as beautiful and unique. I’ll never go to anyone else! “
