Where to begin
I understand that deciding what to wear for your boudoir session can feel overwhelming. It's completely normal to have questions or concerns about it. Please know that you are not alone and we are here to support you every step of the way.
Instead of feeling discouraged, this is an opportunity to explore your wardrobe and choose items that make you feel comfortable and confident. Whether it's a delicate lacey number or an oversized sweater, the most important thing is that you feel good in what you're wearing.
If you need some extra guidance, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. We can text or video chat while you're trying things on, so you can feel reassured in your choices.
Finally, we have a complimentary client closet with over 200 items that you are more than welcome to use during your session. We want you to feel empowered and comfortable during your boudoir shoot, so please let us know if there's anything we can do to support you.
A few ideas to help your creativity start to flow and your personality come to life
Helpful tip: Avoid anything that is distracting to the eye and takes the attention away from you. ie: loud prints and stripes
- Bra/Panty set: The options are limitless.
- Colors: Solid, Bright, Neon, Floral
- Style: High-waisted, Cheeky, Thongs, Strappy
- Material: Satin, Lace, Silk, Cotton
- Bathing suites: Don't forget to shop in the bathing suit section of your favorite stores. Whether it's a two-piece or a one-piece, some bathing suits are sexier and more flattering than your typical lingerie piece
- Bodysuits: Are the most popular choice because not only are they flattering to any body shape, but they can be worn more often in your everyday attire. Feel sexy while pairing your favorite lace bodysuit with jeans, a blazer, and heels for the ultimate confidence boost.
- Corset/Bustier: They have to be some of my absolute favorites! Corsets are just sexy in general. They are awesome for curvy women who want to appear slimmer and for women who are wanting to add volume to their "girls"
- Oversized Sweater: Sometimes you just want to be completely relaxed wearing a baggy/off the shoulder shirt or sweater with a messy bun and just be in the moment
- Stockings: Let's give those legs some attention too. Stockings make legs look longer and leaner. Sometimes they don't look as good in person but with the right lighting and poses they look absolutely amazing in photos. Add stockings with a garter belt to your bra/panty set and get ready to melt some hearts. Don't forget about fishnets to add an extra side of kinkiness to any photo.
- Your partner's hobbies/clothing: We have all seen it in the movies, the hot girl barefoot while wearing her man's favorite shirt. This is your time to be the star of your own movie. Grab their button-down shirt, tool belt, gaming controls, tie, boxers, etc...
- Heels/Boots: Thigh-high boots are my favorite and most of the time they are more flattering than thigh-high stockings. They will be an awesome asset to your session. Prepare for your legs to look fierce.
- Bling Bling: Bring your favorite jewelry. ie: pearls, bracelets, earrings, jeweled nipple covers, or body chains.
- Bedroom Toys: Some clients want to show off their toy collection and favorite bondage/erotica props. They photograph perfectly in the "playtime" corner of my studio
Whatever you choose will be the perfect choice for your session so do not stress. When all else fails, just take it all off and throw on a satin sheet and call it a day.
