The Ultimate Wild Moon Travel Guide

 

 

My Favorite Places to Stay, Eat, Shop & Explore While You're Here


One of my favorite things about Wild Moon is that women travel from all over to experience it.


Some come from just a couple of hours away. Others fly in from across the country. No matter where you're traveling from, I always encourage you to make your boudoir session more than just an appointment—make it a getaway.


Since all Wild Moon sessions take place on Wednesdays, here's exactly how I'd spend a little Arkansas getaway if I were visiting.


Think of this as my personal list of favorite places—the ones I'd recommend to my best friend.

 

Before You Arrive


Pack:

Nude underwear

Strapless bra

Heels (if you want them)

Jewelry

Lip balm

Water bottle

Snacks for after your session


Don't stress about lingerie, we have a client closet from XS–6X, and we'll go over everything during your planning call.

Tuesday | Arrive & Explore


Flying In?

If you're traveling from out of state, you'll want to fly into Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) in Little Rock. It's the closest airport to the studio and is only about a 30–40 minute drive to Cabot, depending on traffic. I recommend booking a Tuesday afternoon arrival so you can settle into your hotel, grab a good meal, and actually enjoy the evening before your session instead of feeling rushed Wednesday morning.


Check Into Your Hotel

Whether you're looking for something cozy, modern, or a little luxurious, there are plenty of great places to stay around Little Rock, North Little Rock, Cabot, and Conway.

After all... this week is about you.



First Stop: Coffee

If you know me, you already know coffee is basically a personality trait.

These are my absolute favorites


Demure Coffee (Conway)


If I had to describe Demure in one sentence...

It feels like the kind of coffee shop where you accidentally spend three hours reading because it's just that cozy. They also have the most amazing small business vendors to find some unique thrift finds.


Grab your favorite drink, find a comfy chair, and enjoy a slow afternoon before your session.


AJ Recommends: Bring the book you've been meaning to finish.


Dark Side Coffee (North Little Rock)


Okay... this place is just fun.

Amazing coffee, incredible atmosphere, and if you're into Star Wars or anything nerdy, you'll love it.

Even if you're not, the drinks alone are worth the stop


Brew YaYa (Cabot)


Not everyone wants coffee before a boudoir session.

If you're more of a tea person (or just want something refreshing), Brew YaYa is one of my favorite local spots.

Their tea menu is fantastic, and it's the perfect stop before heading to the studio.


rose garden market & co.


This place is one of my favorite hidden gems because it's so much more than a coffee shop.

Grab a rose latte, browse the vintage clothing, and soak in the creative atmosphere.

If you love coffee, old treasures, and cozy spaces, you'll lose track of time here. It's basically my personality in a building.



If You Love Books As Much As I Do...


Anyone who knows me knows I always have a book nearby.

If romance novels are your thing, you have to visit Pages & Ink.


It's a bookstore dedicated entirely to romance books, making it the perfect stop for fellow book lovers. Whether you're hunting for your next five-star read or simply want to wander the shelves, this is one of my favorite places to recommend.

AJ Recommends: Pick up a new romance novel before your session. You'll have something to enjoy while winding down that evening.


Let's Go Thrifting


One thing about me...

If there's a thrift store nearby, I'm going inside.

I love finding vintage home décor, unique pieces, old books, clothes, and those random treasures you never knew you needed.


Some of my favorite local thrift stops include:

Cabot Goodwill


Don't blame me if your suitcase is heavier on the way home.


A Hidden Gem You Can't Miss

Sage Tea & Treats


If I could convince every client to visit one local business while they're here...

It would be this one.

Imported German chocolates.

Loose-leaf teas.

Unique gifts.


It's one of those places that feels like you've stumbled onto a hidden treasure, and I never leave empty-handed.

If you're looking for a little treat after your session, this is it.


Dinner BEFORE & After You Feel Like a Badass


Celebrate because...you freaking earned it.


My recommendations:

US. Pizza Co

Cypress Social

Samantha's Tap Room & Wood Grill

The Root Cafe

Cypress Knead Pizza


Sweet Treats


Because confidence burns calories...probably.

Loblolly Creamery

The Original ScoopDog




things to do while you're here

Before You Head Home


Don't forget to grab a few Arkansas favorites before you leave:

✔ German chocolates from Sage Tea & Treats

✔ That thrifted treasure you definitely didn't need but absolutely had to have

Wednesday | Your Wild Moon Experience

TODAY'S THE DAY


My biggest piece of advice?

Don't try to cram your schedule full.

Eat breakfast.

Drink plenty of water.

Wear something comfortable.


THEN COME TO THE STUDIO READY TO LET ME TAKE OVER.


You don't need to know how to pose.

You don't need to worry about what to wear.

You don't have to be "photogenic."

That's my job.


From the moment you walk through the studio doors, every detail has already been planned. Hair and makeup, posing, styling, outfit guidance—I've got you.


Your only job is to show up.


Celebrate Afterwards 🍽️


You just did something that most women spend years talking themselves out of.

Celebrate it.

Go grab an amazing dinner.

Order dessert.

Take a Walk Down River Market

Take yourself on a solo date.

Spend the evening soaking in how you feel instead of rushing back home.

Confidence deserves to be celebrated.


Thank You 🖤

From here, you don't have to worry about posing, what to wear, or whether you'll know what you're doing. That's what I'm here for. My job is to guide you through every single step so you can simply show up and enjoy the experience.


Thank you for trusting me with your story, your confidence, and this chapter of your life. I don't take that lightly.
