What Do I Wear For My Boudoir Session?

This is probably the most commonly asked question I get from clients. This is also one of the reasons I decided to create and offer a client closet.

Aside from lingerie, there are some really awesome things you can bring from your own closet that can really elevate your session.

One thing I like to do is create a story. Looking through your final album is even more appealing when we are following a story.

Like starting in a lacy slip dress with a knowing smile, switching to a scene of you turning away and seeing it be unzipped, and then falling to the floor. Having a matching bra and panty set which you can also unclip, or pull at.

You can seeing how starting with a piece of clothing and telling the story of your undressing, can create a more exciting final product.

Incorporating your partners hobbies or profession can be really fun to. I once had a client whose partner was a pilot. She brought vintage collectable planes to incorporate into her session. Another client of mine, had a partner who was a lineman. She rocked his tool bag, on her waist. You can truly get creative with what you choose to bring in.

Here is a list of items for you to consider bringing to your boudoir session.

• White T-shirt or tank top- perfect for the wet set, or shower scene
• Oversized Sweater -Cozy, Off-the-shoulder vibes. Could pair with knee high socks & favorite coffee mug or book.
• Leather Jacket- Edgy and bold, perfect for a confident look.
• Partner’s shirt/Tie- Personal and intimate, like a button up or a favorite tie. Also Work attire for the blue collar babes is sexy too.
• Sheer Scarf/Shawl- Flowy and versatile for dramatic effects.
• Corset or Bustier- Classic for its sculpting power.
• Thigh- High Socks/Stockings – Adds a playful, Flirtatious touch.
• Vintage Pieces- Like lace gloves, or older styled lingerie.
