Celebrating What Makes You You

There’s something powerful about showing up exactly as you are—especially when that includes your natural curls. At Boudoir by Olin, we believe every texture, wave, and curl tells a story.

Your hair isn’t just part of your style—it’s part of your identity. That’s why we love when clients embrace their natural curls during boudoir sessions.

Not only do they frame your face beautifully, but they also catch the light in magical ways, adding movement, softness, and authenticity to your portraits.

Why We Encourage Natural Hair in Boudoir Sessions

Boudoir photography is more than lingerie and poses—it’s about capturing the most authentic version of you.

When you wear your natural curls, you’re not simply showing your beauty—you’re celebrating the part of yourself that feels real and unapologetic. As a result, our curly girl boudoir sessions often feel more empowering because clients stop striving for “perfect” and instead lean into their natural beauty.

From a photographer’s perspective, curls are a dream to photograph. Moreover, they create texture, dimension, and movement that bring your portraits to life. Every strand tells a story of confidence, freedom, and self-love.

How to Prep Your Curls for a Boudoir Session

Thinking of going curly for your shoot? Great choice. Our in-house hair and makeup artists specialize in enhancing natural textures so that you feel polished yet authentic.

Here are a few boudoir hair ideas for prepping your curls:

• Hydrate: Use a deep conditioner or nourishing mask the day before your session.

• Style Lightly: Choose lightweight curl products for definition without stiffness.

• Dry Naturally: Diffuse or air dry to enhance volume and bounce.

• Stay Consistent: Avoid trying new products right before your shoot.

• Bring Your Favorites: Pack the curl products you love—our stylists can work with them.

Ultimately, your hair should feel like you—just elevated for the camera.

Real Women, Real Curls

Over the years, we’ve photographed countless women with curls of every type—from loose waves to tight coils. Each natural curls photoshoot has shown us the same truth: beauty doesn’t come from “perfect” hair, but from confidence and authenticity.

When your curls move freely, when you laugh naturally, when you see your photos and think, “That’s really me”—that’s when the camera magic truly happens.

A Note from Olin

As a photographer, I’ve seen firsthand the transformation that happens when women let go of perfection and embrace their natural selves. Your natural curls, your confidence, your story—it all belongs here.

Whether your curls are soft spirals, bold coils, or somewhere in between, we can’t wait to capture them. Therefore, if you’re ready to step in front of the camera and celebrate your natural beauty, this is your moment.
