Boudoir photography allows our clients to capture their inner beauty, sensuality, and confidence through stunning imagery that makes them look and feel like works of art. Whether you're preparing for your first boudoir photo shoot or you're a seasoned pro, choosing what to wear is an exciting part of the process that helps you get prepared for your boudoir experience.
Note: what you wear ultimately is not as important as we like to believe it is! Whether you are booking with us, or just shopping around, a seasoned professional can capture anything you wear in a way that makes you shine.
Our first and biggest tip when it comes to choosing what to wear is make sure it makes you FEEL good – and fits right. Nothing kills the vibe like lingerie that doesn’t fit you, that you need to keep adjusting, and therefore feel self-concious in. The first step is to FEEL fire, and then you will LOOK fire. Promise.
With our preamble aside, in this blog post, we'll explore various outfit options to help you feel (and look) your best during your boudoir session.
Bra and Panty Set
A classic and go-to choice for boudoir photography, a well-fitted bra and panty set can highlight your curves and accentuate your figure. When selecting this option, consider colors that complement your skin tone and make you feel like your favourite self. Whether you prefer lace, satin, staps galore, or something more minimalistic (or spiccyyy), a carefully chosen bra and panty set can help you exude confidence!
Body Suit
A body suit is a versatile choice that can provide both coverage and allure. Body suits come in various styles, from sheer and lacy to sleek and modern. Depending on your comfort level, you can opt for a full-coverage design or one with strategic cutouts that add an element of spice and tease to your shoot. When picking a body suit try to opt for something without a racerback as those can be limiting to posing. We love a good bodysuit in the studio that you can also wear with jeans or a skirt for date night after your shoot!
White Tank Top
Sometimes, simplicity is best. A plain white tank top can evoke a sense of casualness and realism to your session. Pair your white tank with the shower set or our wet set for the ultimate sensual combo! Lace bottoms, Calvin Klein’s, or nothing at all are great bottom options for your white tank. We call the white tank + no bottoms combination the “winnie the pooh” ;)
Accessories that Make You FEEL GOOD
Accessories can play a significant role in personalizing your boudoir shoot. Whether it's a favorite necklace, a pair of fishnets, a special pair of heels, or a statement piece of jewelry, incorporating accessories that hold sentimental value or make you feel empowered can add a unique touch to your images. Remember, boudoir photography is about celebrating YOU!
Nothing but a Sheet
For a more artistic and sensual approach, consider draping yourself in a satin sheet or sheer fabric during your photo shoot. This can create soft, romantic images that emphasize your body's natural contours while maintaining an air of elegance, and feel like you just stepped out of a renaissance painting. By far one of our favourite outfits, and a specialty in our studio.
Still don’t know what to wear? Rely on our client closet!
Our studio has a small client closet in sizes ranging from XXS-4X. Not sure what to wear? Message us about options in the client closet in your size range! We have lingerie sets, as well as harnesses, robes, feather fans, and so much more to play with and incorporate into your experience.
Nothing at All
Lastly, the most empowering option of all is to bare it all, posing confidently in your own skin. Going au naturel during your boudoir photo shoot can be a liberating and transformative experience. It's a liberating act of self-confidence and body celebration. By far one of our favourite outfit options, and one our clients say is their absolute favourite! Going nudie is of course not mandatory, and we are here to help you if you feel nervous or unsure about this option and want to ask more questions and feel it out slowly.
Conclusion
Your boudoir photo shoot is a chance to embrace your sensuality, boost your self-esteem, and create beautiful, legacy images that will leave you feeling like a damn work of art every time you look at them. Ultimately, the most important thing is to choose outfits that make you feel confident, beautiful, and empowered. Whether you opt for a classic bra and panty set, a body suit, a simple white tank top, or something more daring, the key is to embrace your uniqueness and celebrate your favourite self. Your boudoir photographs will capture the essence of your confidence and sensuality, allowing you to cherish them for years to come.
