What To Wear For Next Your Boudoir Session To Look Amazing!

Let me tell you I am so excited for our Boudoir Photography sessions coming up in Kawartha Lakes. I have been photographing Boudoir now for many years and love what I do. I am here to help with your clothing questions! Feel free to email, or message me online if you have any other questions.

I am often asked what are best things to wear for boudoir photo shoot? Well let me tell you there are many great items you can choose right out of your own closet. Not every item needs to be lingerie. Be sure to try on items to make sure they have a proper fit before your session. Remember to have fun with the outfits, don’t stress to much about it. Go buy something new that makes you feel amazing in if you don’t have anything already. Here are a few tip to help you get started:

– Not every outfit has to be lingerie

– Have at least one bra and panty set

– Bring high heels if you choose

– Try everything on before your session

– Brand new lingerie or very lightly worn is best

– Keep your body type in mind

– Lace trim is a bonus, extra straps photograph nicely as well

– Make sure you are bringing the correct size to wear, something that is to tight is unflattering and harder to photoshop

– Wear whatever YOU feel sexy in – if you don’t feel sexy in something, you won’t look sexy in it!

GENERAL CLOTHING TIPS

Bra and Panties
Bring a varied selection of bra and panty sets. Start with basic black and then add colours and patterns. Bras and panties can be photographed alone or paired with any of the other clothing items or accessories you bring.

In the Closet
Look through your closet for a see through or lace blouse, a soft sweater you can pull off your shoulders, a vest or sleeveless sweater. Any unique or cropped tops can be cute with panties too.

Something of His
If this is a gift for your fiance/husband/boyfriend, then bring something from his wardrobe. This can be one of his favourite ties, a button down shirt, a sports jersey, recreational gear, or his uniform. Anything that makes the images more personal and sexy to him!

High Heels
The higher the better for your session! You won’t be walking around in them so don’t worry about that part. Black is obviously a great choice and goes with anything – the same with nude heels – but anything with bling or anything that is high and strappy is a must bring! Leave your wedges at home this time.

Casual Attire
Everyday clothing such as sheer tops, jeans or shorts are great choices if going for a more casual look. A simple white tank top or cami are also very versatile and can be paired with many different things!

OVERALL TIPS

– Bring your clothing and lingerie on hangers with a garment bag over the top. Don’t stuff it in a duffel bag! This will reduce wrinkles and fold lines.

– Clean the bottoms of your shoes (and feet) just in case they appear in a photo.

– Cut tags and make sure security devices have been removed from new purchases.

– The magic of photoshop stops at tan lines. I highly recommend NOT getting a spray tan – as they always streak – and stay out of the sun the week before your session to avoid sun burns or noticeable tan lines. You want your skin to be natural and even.

– Make sure your mani-pedi is fresh and matches your clothing colors and styles. French tips, golds, and neutral colors look really nice. Avoid bold colours as it will become of the focus of the photo.

– Come to the session in loose fitting clothes without tight bras, socks, or panties to prevent dents or lines on your body.

– Also consider wearing, little to no makeup when you arrive. There is a professional hair and make up artist to work their magic!
