One of the great things about boudoir is that it offers a wide range of styles — your photos can be as sweet or sultry as you like. Many clients are looking for tasteful boudoir photos that feel classy and beautiful rather than provocative.
If you want a softer, more refined feel for your boudoir shoot, here are a few things you can do to get the look you want.
4 Tips for a Tasteful Boudoir Shoot
The decisions you make leading up to your boudoir session have a huge impact on how your photos turn out. These are our top tips for achieving the classy look you want for more tasteful boudoir photos.
1. Share Your Vision With Your Photographer
Some clients go into a boudoir shoot with super specific ideas for how they want their images to turn out. Others come in more open-minded and want the photographer to take the lead.

Generally speaking, the sweet spot is in the middle. Your photographer won't be able to exactly recreate every photo from your boudoir inspo Pinterest board, but if you tell them the overall look and feel you want, they'll be able to make decisions about posing and lighting to match your preferences.
During your consultation, be sure to tell your photographer that you want to have a more tasteful boudoir shoot. Our Beauty in Boudoir client questionnaire also includes questions that will help you share what you're hoping to see in your album.
2. Choose Outfits With Soft Textures and More Coverage
,Outfits are such an important part of your boudoir shoot. They have a huge impact on the feel of your photos, so put some time into choosing them.

To achieve a sweet, more innocent look, go for lingerie and other pieces in light, airy colors and prints. Focus on softer textures, like lace, over options like leather.
