I'm Jo

hey!

One of the biggest fears women share with me isn’t just about the photos.

It’s about the unknown.

“What if I don’t know what to do?” “What actually happens during the session?” “How do I prepare?”

This blog is your behind-the-scenes peek. A step-by-step breakdown of what it’s really like to walk through a boudoir session at Velvet Noir Studio—from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave feeling like the main character.

Let’s go.


Step 1: You Arrive Nervous (That’s Normal)

Whether you’re a little anxious or full-blown panicked, let’s be clear—you are not alone.

Almost every woman walks in nervous. Some are shaking. Some are giddy. Some are quiet. But every single one is brave.

You’ll arrive at the Velvet Noir Studio in the Fort Worth Stockyards, greeted with music and all the calm, empowering energy you need to ground yourself.

This isn’t a cold, sterile photo studio. This is a space that wraps around you and whispers, “You’re safe. You’re welcome. Let’s begin.”


Step 2: You Get Pampered (Magical)

Most women choose to have hair and makeup done—and for good reason. It’s not about looking like someone else. It’s about feeling radiant in your own skin.

You’ll sit back while we enhance your natural beauty, set the tone with soft glam or full bombshell (your choice), and helps ease your nerves.

This is your moment to be taken care of. To breathe. To become.


Step 3: We Choose Outfits Together

You don’t need to show up with everything perfectly planned. I help you select the pieces that will photograph best—and more importantly, what makes you feel powerful.

Whether you bring a suitcase of lingerie or a single bodysuit, we’ll curate the perfect looks for your shoot. And yes—access to wings, body jewelry, robes, and exclusive studio pieces are available to all Beta Baddies.


Step 4: You Step Into the Set… and the Shift Begins

You’ll start in your first look, and I’ll walk you through exactly how to pose, where to look, what to do with your hands, how to breathe.

You do not have to know what you’re doing. You just have to trust me.

I’ll hype you. Adjust you. Cheer you on. Show you tiny previews that make your jaw drop.

And suddenly? You go from unsure to unstoppable.


Step 5: We Play, Pose, and Create

Depending on your package, we’ll rotate through 2-5 sets. Maybe you choose:

  • Moody shadows on the velvet couch
  • A birthday set with whipped cream and fun
  • The bondage set for something raw and daring
  • A soft wet set that turns sensuality into art

This is where the energy shifts from performance to play. You’ll surprise yourself. Every woman does.


Step 6: The Image Reveal—Same Day

After your session, we take a short break (snacks and deep breaths included!) while I prep your gallery.

Then… the moment arrives.

You’ll see your images. Not in two weeks. Not in a month. That day.

You’ll gasp. You’ll smile. You might cry. You’ll choose your favorites, and decide on your collection.

And babe… there’s no pressure. You choose what feels right. Most women invest in 15-30 images, and you’ll receive $100 off as a Beta Baddie.


Step 7: You Leave Different

You leave taller. Lighter. Reclaimed.

You leave with the proof that you are art. That you are sexy, soft, strong, stunning.

That you are enough, exactly as you are.

And every time you see your images after that day, you’ll remember:

“She’s still in there. She always was.”
