ACCESSORIES FOR BOUDOIR SHOOT || HOUSTON, TX.
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.
Necklaces for instance. They are gorgeous in everyday life and can add so much personality to an outfit. For boudoir though, they just don’t work sometimes. When you are laying down the look like you are being choked. Or the clasp moves to the front so it has to be watched constantly and adjusted when needed.
Heels will either make or break your photo. They HAVE to be tall heels. If they aren’t at least 3-4 inches tall, you might as well not bring them. You don’t want to be wearing kitten heels while trying to be sexy.
ALWAYS bring your wedding ring or engagement ring. Your photos will definitely feel like they are missing something without them.
Here are 7 options for accessories
“A women with good shoes is never ugly” -Coco Chanel
Like I said heels can make one of the best accessories. They lengthen your legs and look so elegant. You cant go wrong with a tall black or nude heel.
Knee high or even thigh high socks can be so playful!
This is one of my favorites! Pair it with an oversized sweater or bodysuit! Absolutely fantastic!
Fish net stockings are an out-of-the-box accessory for your boudoir shoot!
They are such a fun and creative addition to your outfit. You can wear them over your bra and panty set or with an oversized sweater! So adorable and playful!
Candles are so simple yet so romantic.
Some may not consider candles an accessory but I believe anything added to the photo just isn’t just your beautiful self is an accessory. You are the star of the show so anything else is just a supportive part of it!
So jewelry…yes or no?
I don’t want to confuse you or send you mixed messages! My only issue with jewelry is necklaces really!
As I said, necklaces can be such a hassle since they don’t always lay right on your body. But that doesn’t mean you can’t wear any jewelry though!
Earrings for instance and add so much to your outfit. Just keep them simple and dainty. Small hoops or diamond studs are stunning!
You can’t go wrong with a simple bracelet.
They are always classic and look great in photos! While I don’t wear them myself, I think they add elegance to the look.
Food is probably something you didn’t think about as an accessory!
Adding food to your boudoir shoot can be so fun! It can show your silly, playful side all while being really sexy as well. Just let me know ahead of time if you want food involved in your session so I can prepare my posing plan!
It’s a no for me…
There is just one thing that I will not allow during the shoot…glitter/confetti. It is a pain to clean up and gets on EVERYTHING. You also find it years later just hanging around. So nope…not allowed.
In, conclusion…
You are the star of the show so I want to bring your vision to life and created a magical experience. If you have something that is so important to you or your significant other, I will make it work! It is my top priority that you are comfortable, relaxed, and feeling confident during your session!
