Why do a boudoir photoshoot?
A boudoir photoshoot can be an empowering and liberating experience! It’s a great way to celebrate your body (in whatever form it holds) and your femininity (or masculinity- because boudoir is for all bodies) while creating beautiful images that capture your unique beauty. Many women find that a boudoir session boosts their self-confidence and helps them feel more comfortable in their own skin.
A boudoir photoshoot can be a fun and creative way to express your personality and get creative with different posing and lighting. Ultimately, it is about celebrating yourself and your beauty. As a bonus, it is a nice way to surprise your partner with a special gift (the newly boosted self-confidence as well as the images).
Preparing for a boudoir photoshoot can be both exciting and nerve racking (if this is your first time). To help ease some of these nerves and get you the most out of your session, here are some tips to get you prepared for your boudoir photoshoot to get you looking and feeling your most confident:
Choose your outfit. Pick clothing that makes you feel the most confident as well as comfortable when you’re wearing it (and no, it doesn’t have to be lingerie). Plain colors and textures photograph the best as well as enhance your unique beauty.
Pamper yourself. Get your beauty routine down or go get your hair and makeup done by a professional. Get that mani and pedi (or even a massage). Looking your best will help you feel your best at the photoshoot.
Research. Look for inspiration online or on Pinterest for everything from outfit ideas to poses and themes that you would like to have for your photoshoot (this is about you, after all!). Make sure to share these with your photographer!
Pack all the essentials. Bring your outfits, accessories, and makeup that you plan to wear in your photoshoot.
Rest. Make sure to get a good night’s sleep before your photoshoot. Eat a nutritious meal and hydrate.
Rock your boudoir photoshoot!
