This stunning client leans into a sexy boudoir session, and the results are amazing! She wanted to give her firefighting hubby the gift of a lifetime for his 40th birthday, so she booked a session with us. Little did she realize we would be hit with a pandemic and she’d go weeks without seeing her husband because of his work schedule. So when she came in, she knew she wanted to knock his socks off. Prettyyyy sure we accomplished that.
What Do I Wear For My Boudoir Session?? ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir
Our favorite question is "what do I wear for my shoot?" The answer to this depends on the mood you are trying to convey - some clients like to bare it all and some are more conservative. Think about the mood you want for your session - are you looking to spice it up or are you looking to keep it playfully seductive? Maybe you want both? The key is finding lingerie that fits your style and that is a good fit to show off your beautiful shape!
Don't worry about bringing in too many options, we will help you narrow down your wardrobe choices while you're sitting in hair & makeup. We select up to 4 different outfits and choose shoes, jewelry, and any props you brought.
Ideas for wardrobe:
Corsets, stockings, and heels are great for shaping and accentuating the body and breast.
Cut Off tank tops and crop tops are great for showing a toned midsection and can help give an "edgier" look
Garter belts and stockings are perfect to make any outfit a little bit sexier. Don’t worry about knowing how to fasten them, we’ll help you if you need it!
Bra and panty sets are classic. Choose a softer cup with a color that is flattering to your skin tone. Push up bras can gap if you're laying down or it's not sized correctly, so get your bra professionally fitted before your session.
Topless with just panties - High Waist, Cheeky, or Thongs look amazing.
A man's dress shirt can be sexy, but if you find it is too big for you, find one that is closer to your size.
Long necklaces with jeans or cut off shorts
Bodysuits and teddies are designed to look much like a one-piece swimsuit and therefore will cover your midsection. The amount of coverage provided by a teddy can vary from thong to brief, sheer to opaque, triangle to underwire. A teddy with underwire will help if you're looking for a little lift for the girls but also want to minimize your tummy area.
Waist cinchers/pasties/harness bras/fishnet tights are all great if you are looking to have a spicier session.
A white sheet (we'll provide that!) Less is more and it's also one less thing you have to think about bringing.
If you and/or your significant other are sports fans, bring in a jersey. Jerseys that are made for women are much more flattering.
A cardigan/sweater is great if you are going for a fall/winter cozy look.
A tank top and panties will give a much more casual, relaxed vibe.
Consider going fully nude -this may sound intimidating but sometimes this is where you'll learn to love yourself completely.
Don’t forget to bring some killer high heels! Nude heels can go with many outfit choices. Black heels are a MUST. However, anything strappy, studded or with bling is great. The higher the better. Try to stay away from platform and wedges for your shoot - they can shorten the look of your legs.
Baby Dolls are NOT recommended as they tend to hide your figure and make you look boxy. They don't photograph as well as they look in person, unfortunately.
Confidence and a smile.
