What to wear for your boudoir photo shoot?

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

for your boudoir session, it’s always best to bring more outfits than you’ll be able to wear to give yourself options. sometimes the outfits you think you will like the most just don’t work as well as you’d think, so it’s always good to have lots to choose from.

a pair of killer heels is a must! these aren’t shoes that are meant to be walked in, so the higher and spikier the heel, the hotter it makes your legs look.

some sassy lingerie, of course, is a must! bra and panty sets are great start. a garter belt is also a great choice and is verstatile for a few different looks. corsets look great and are handy for hiding the tummy, but can be awkward to move in. sheer babydoll nighties are another great option to help hide “problem” spots and still look hot! sheer robes also look great when worn alone or in combination with other pieces.

other fun options can be wifebeaters and boy shorts, men’s shirts and ties with knee socks, sports jerseys, motorcycle jackets and chaps, etc. if there’s something that you love, or something you know your honey loves, let’s try it!

and to step it up even more, you can just take it down to bare skin with a couple accessories, like strands of pearls, armfuls of bracelets, just a pair of shoes, etc.

most importantly, have fun with your wardrobe choices! bring great accessories and choose pieces that you feel great in!

if you need help with wardrobe ideas, please feel free to ask away! I’d love to help!

IMPORTANT: the day of your shoot, be sure to wear loose clothing so that you don’t have clothing indentations in your skin from too-tight undies, etc.

 

An afternoon of sassiness with Jen in the Edmonton boudoir studio.

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

The fabulous Jen joined me for a chilly afternoon in the ENV studio for a little boudoir photo magic. She tried to tell me that she was going to look awkward and I so didn’t belive her… and you can see why! Wowza!

Boudoir photography in the ENV studio! The fabulous Ms Laura!

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Last week I shot my very first boudoir session in the ENV studio. Why I waited so long, I have no idea! Well, the studio is still being decorated for boudoir, so that had a little to do with it, but despite only having the bed, Laura was fantastic!

Boudoir sneak peek – Sarah!

Monday, July 20th, 2009

I feel especially good about Sarah’s shoot because I now know just how nervous and uncertain she was about doing the shoot.  I wonder what in the world she had to be nervous about though! She’s a natural! She’s so irresitable that when her son came with Daddy to pick her up (we weren’t quite done), he couldn’t resist trying to get in a few photos with her just to show off how hot Mommy is! Here’s a peek!
