Stepping into your first boudoir session can be intimidating when you don’t know what to expect.
Most people assume that boudoir sessions are all about nudity or sexy lace. But there are so many options for clothing and props for your boudoir shoot. I am going to give you some of my top tips to help you find the look that will have you walking into your session with the utmost confidence.
First, Let’s Chat!
A good first step to gauging your boudoir vibe is for you to scroll through Pinterest or Instagram and put together a mood board. This way, we’re able to exchange ideas on potential looks that best suit your vibe, and we can discuss your expectations around your session.
Next, we figure out what our best options are for shoot location. We will discuss the look that you’re going for, and pair that with the perfect setting to create your photos.
I recommend that you bring more than you think you’ll need.
My top 10 items to consider:
- An oversized button down shirt or sweater. We can do off the shoulder vibes with some cute underwear.
- Anything with Lace. Incorporating lace into your session is delicate & sexy, no matter the form it comes in!
- Bring shoes that make you feel SEXY. Heels, booties, clogs…. whatever feels good to YOU, babe!
- Jeans – the ones that make your butt and legs look amazing
- A leather jacket, fitted blazer, or jean jacket
- Sexy underwear, night gowns, and robes
- Delicate jewelry or accessories that make you feel good
- Fishnet stockings
Glasses, Sunglasses, other fun accessories
