Wondering when to book your boudoir session? The right time of day matters for perfect lighting. Learn how to make the most of natural light and feel your best during your boudoir shoot.

I have a very strong opinion on privacy policies when it comes to photography. Again this is my opinion and it is not my intention to bash any fellow photographers. Every photographer has the right to have their own privacy policy. I just personally have a strict (yet simple) policy. And I would have this policy no matter what type of photography I did. 

Let’s get one thing straight: boudoir is about YOU. It’s about owning your confidence, celebrating your body, and capturing that raw, unapologetic energy that makes you, well… a total badass. Whether you're treating yourself or surprising someone special, this is your chance to step into your power and show the world what you’re made of.

You may feel completely overwhelmed while getting ready for your boudoir shoot. There are a ton of things you are trying to figure out and you have no idea where to start. The last thing I want is for you to feel so lost, you are discouraged. One of the main reasons for a boudoir session is to feel confident so I don’t want you going into your session feeling discouraged or lost. I am always here for you to answer any questions you may have. But if you are just needing a place to start, here are 9 outfit tips for your boudoir session.

I have never really had an opinion on accessories for a boudoir shoot. I just always thought if you want to wear it then great! I will make it work. That is not always the case. Now I have learned from my experience that not every accessory will translate well or look flattering in every pose. 

If you are like me, you may not be very good at doing hair and makeup on yourself. I feel like I am still learning what looks good on me and what doesn’t. I know enough about makeup to do it every day (even though I won’t wear it every day) and still feel confident. And my hair, as it is curly, never ends up the same no matter how many times I style it exactly the same way each time! But I have learned just to embrace it and just be confident in the midst of how it looks that day. However, just because I feel like I have enough skill to do my hair and makeup in everyday life, does not mean I know how to do it for a photoshoot. It needs to be done in a completely different manner.

At the end of the day, the outfits, accessories, and all the things aren’t what truly matters. The only thing that matters is the woman who is bearing it all to be photographed. She is bearing more than just her skin. She is being vulnerable and bears a part of her that she might have always been told to hide or to get rid of. I believe deeply that every BODY no matter the size or shape deserves to be celebrated. 

Sometimes planning outfits for your boudoir photo takes a little bit more thinking than just grabbing whatever lingerie is in your drawer. There are certain things you need to keep in mind to achieve the look you are going for. So, let’s talk about all the things!

What you wear to your boudoir shoot says a lot about you and your personality. Maybe you aren’t the one who feels sexy and confident in lingerie. You would feel better in sweats and a T-shirt. Boudoir shoots are all about helping you feel confident and sexy just where you are. If you feel more confident while feeling cozy, let's talk about what to wear to a comfy boudoir shoot!
