Boudoir Session Guide

 

    What to Wear

    Choose outfits that make you feel confident, sexy, and comfortable in your own skin.
    Great options include:

    • Lingerie sets

    • Bodysuits

    • Oversized shirts

    • Fitted tank tops or lace camisoles

    • Silky robes

    • Your partner’s sports shirt or your favorite team jersey

    Bring a variety of colors, styles, and textures—think lace, satin, mesh—to give your gallery more visual interest.

    Avoid wearing tight clothing (like socks, tight jeans, or bras) right before your session to prevent skin marks.
    High heels can help with posture and elongate your legs, adding a touch of glamour to your look.

    Makeup & Hair

    Please share this section with your hair and makeup artist to ensure the best results for your session.

    • Aim for a polished, elegant look with soft definition around the eyes

    • Use eyeshadow that enhances your natural beauty—avoid heavy or overly dramatic styles unless it’s your signature look

    • If you wear false eyelashes, opt for natural or wispy styles—lashes that are too thick can block light and hide your eyes in photos

    • Keep your skin looking fresh and radiant, not overly matte or cakey

    • Use a hydrating, long-lasting lipstick

    • Style your hair in soft curls, waves, or straight—whatever makes you feel confident

    • Avoid using too much hairspray—your hair should have movement so we can play with it during the session

    • Arrive with clean, dry hair and your makeup fully done

    Accessories, Props & Personal Touches

    Details and personal items can make your session unique and meaningful:

    • A scarf, watch, or piece of jewelry that has sentimental value

    • Something that reflects your profession or passion (like a camera, paintbrushes, or notebook)
    • Hats or glasses that match your personality

    • Lace gloves, thigh-high stockings, garters

    • Silky robe for coverage between sets

    • Your partner’s button-up shirt, blazer, or sports jersey

    • Your favorite book or other props that express your personality, scarf

    • A meaningful necklace, heirloom, or perfume

    Important Tips

    • Avoid sunbathing or tanning a few weeks before—tan lines are difficult to edit

    • Skip tight clothing before your shoot to prevent marks on your skin

    • Moisturize your skin the night before and morning of your session

    • Stay hydrated and get a full night’s rest for fresh skin and a clear mind
