Boudoir Shoot Tips

A Boudoir Shoot is a time for you to show off your best assets in a sexy, inti­mate way. The­ses pho­tos are a per­fect gift for a sig­nif­i­cant other in your life and leave lit­tle to the imag­i­na­tion. The word “boudoir” is French for a pri­vate dress­ing area for a lady. A pro­fes­sional pho­tog­ra­pher usu­ally cap­tures these sexy pho­tos in a bed­room set­ting, hotel room, or in a studio.

Boudoir Pho­tog­ra­phy doesn’t mean nude, but you are show­ing skin. Wear what you feel sex­i­est in and if the pho­tos are a gift, what does your sig­nif­i­cant other like to see you in? You can wear lin­gerie, swim­suits, bra and panties, or maybe just a men’s shirt. A lit­tle teas­ing goes a long way.

Being Pre­pared for a Boudoir Shoot

Assum­ing this is you first Boudoir Shoot, you are going to have mixed emo­tions and a ton of ques­tions. Don’t be afraid to ask. Of course you are won­der­ing what a Boudoir Shoot will cost, but ask more ques­tions. Find out how you can look like the mod­els on the site but prepar­ing for the boudoir shoot. You will be even more pleased with the out­come of the photos.

With our expe­ri­ence of shoot­ing sev­eral boudoir shoots, we will be hon­est with our opin­ions and if you have sec­ond thoughts, we under­stand and we can toss around ideas to see what you are most com­fort­able with. On the day of the boudoir shoot we just want to you look and feel your best!

The closer it gets to the boudoir shoot day, the more ner­vous you may become. We under­stand com­pletely. You are going to be close to nude in front of com­plete strangers, but that’s why we want to get to know you as a client so that you feel com­fort­able with us.

Book­ing Your Boudoir Shoot

When we book you, we give our clients a list of what to do prior to the shoot, so you don’t get worked up think­ing about the day of the shoot itself.

Remem­ber this boudoir shoot is for YOU, regard­less of the recip­i­ent. You are sexy and this is a very ful­fill­ing oppor­tu­nity to show it off!

To get some ideas and inspi­ra­tion for your boudoir shoot check out some boudoir port­fo­lios online or mag­a­zines like Maxim. You get the point. The women looks sexy, but they’re not show­ing it all off. Keep in mind you want to show these pho­tos off, so don’t take a photo that you wouldn’t show the photo to your best friend.

We have a make up artist that you can hire and we have a pro­fes­sional eye to help you choose the best looks and out­fits for what you are try­ing to get out of your boudoir shoot. You are more then wel­come to bring some­one a long with you if you want a sec­ond eye or another opinion.

If you are inter­ested in spe­cific set­tings or props, let us know prior to the shoot date and we can arrange to have them. You can also bring your own. If you see pho­tos that you would like to recre­ate, e-mail them to us and we will recre­ate that imag­ine with you dur­ing the ses­sion. If we believe the image would not high­light your best assets, we will inform you of our pro­fes­sional opin­ion and we will make it work for YOU!

When you walk in on the day of the boudoir shoot have con­fi­dence and feel beau­ti­ful. Prior to choos­ing out­fits and poses, we will dis­cuss what you are look­ing to get out of the ses­sion and give you our feed­back. We want you to be com­pletely com­fort­able through­out the entire ses­sion. We want to know what body fea­ture makes you feel good about or what the recip­i­ent of the pho­tos likes. We also want to know what parts you don’t like, but keep in mind every­thing we can make changes in post edited.

Not every photo needs to be seduc­tive, have fun with this! We will take pho­tos of you laugh­ing, smil­ing, and being silly as well! Most impor­tantly, remem­ber to breathe! Nerves can get the best of you, but we want you to look sexy and hold­ing your breath doesn’t come across very attrac­tive. Prac­tice pos­ing and breath­ing in front of your mir­ror and just relax so we can cap­ture your nat­ural sparkle!

We want the pho­tographs to cap­ture your sex­i­ness. After all that is why you are inter­ested in doing a Boudoir Shoot. So please don’t diet or starve your­self for days before the shoot. You may want to limit you salt intake and carbs on the day of or the day before, but that’s all we sug­gest. You want to make sure you have enough energy to get through the ses­sion. Tak­ing pho­tographs can get exhaust­ing! If you have “prob­lem areas” we will talk about what poses would be flat­ter­ing and which ones would not work for you. Makeup, hair, wardrobe, and a lit­tle Pho­to­shop can fix these issues!

After sev­eral con­ver­sa­tions on what you like and don’t like and look­ing at mag­a­zine inspi­ra­tions, we will make sure you have one of the sex­i­est days of your life! On the day of your boudoir shoot, you will have noth­ing to worry about, except look­ing and feel­ing your best!
