Sizzling, Sexy Boudoir ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir

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:

  1. Corsets, stockings, and heels are great for shaping and accentuating the body and breast.

  2. Cut Off tank tops and crop tops are great for showing a toned midsection and can help give an "edgier" look

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. Topless with just panties - High Waist, Cheeky, or Thongs look amazing.

  6. 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.

  7. Long necklaces with jeans or cut off shorts

  8. 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.

  9. Waist cinchers/pasties/harness bras/fishnet tights are all great if you are looking to have a spicier session.

  10. A white sheet (we'll provide that!) Less is more and it's also one less thing you have to think about bringing.

  11. If you and/or your significant other are sports fans, bring in a jersey. Jerseys that are made for women are much more flattering.

  12. A cardigan/sweater is great if you are going for a fall/winter cozy look.

  13. A tank top and panties will give a much more casual, relaxed vibe.

  14. Consider going fully nude -this may sound intimidating but sometimes this is where you'll learn to love yourself completely.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. Confidence and a smile.

The Stunning Miss K | Orange County Boudoir | Grace and Lace Boudoir

She's stunning, she's the sweetest, and she SERIOUSLY knocked her session out of the park!  Like, WAY out there! She came to the studio as a gift for her soon to be husband and, of course, herself. She had recently lost some weight but claimed she wasn't quite her goal weight yet, but she was ready to do a session anyway. I love that she didn't wait because all too often, later becomes never.  If you always wait until the "perfect" time, you'll realize that it's never coming.    

We started her session with a sweet and soft, white bra and panty set but ended it with more seductive pieces.  I love seeing the transformations of our clients from the beginning of their shoots to the end! Our clients are AWESOME! Her images just make me so happy.

I cannot say enough about Sarah and Jeni! They are truly so amazing at what they do. I decided on boudoir photos as a gift for my husband on our wedding day. I was extremely nervous and researched around a lot until I came across [them]. 

The website alone was so informative and made me feel better about what to expect. Once I met Sarah and Jeni all my nerves began to leave. They make you feel so comfortable and confident about yourself. They know what they are doing and I couldn't be happier with the photos and neither could my husband. He loved them. Probably the best present I ever gave him. I have already told several friends considering doing a boudoir session and I would recommend them to anyone. 

Overall, it was an awesome experience. Thank you so much Sarah and Jeni!

Thank you for trusting us, Miss K! And for seriously bringing your most seductive A game! :) 

The best choice you can make

Miss T is a woman full of life & faith, a woman who has had her fair share of struggles in life but it hasn't stopped her or even slowed her down. The instant we met her, we INSTANTLY liked her; she gave an air of gentleness and kindness.  We loved having her in the studio and I loved her curves and how she owned them! 

In her own words, here's what she had to say about her experience ...

Hands down I had such a great experience doing my photo shoot with Jen and Sarah. I was nervous before getting there. Once I was there both Jen and Sarah made me feel so comfortable that I enjoyed every minute and did not worry about anything else. My makeup was done so beautifully. I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world. I will say my self confidence has improved greatly. When I went back to view my photos, all I could think and say was “WOW” is that me! This was one of the best choices that I made. Complete satisfaction with every step of the process. Jen and Sarah defiantly (sp) know what they are doing and are very good at their job.
