Updated: Aug 26

If you've never booked a boudoir session before, you've come to the right place. Boudoir photography is not just about the photos; it's about embracing your sensuality, celebrating your body, and capturing your unique beauty in an artistic way. To help you feel empowered and at ease during your boudoir session, here are some essential styling tips to consider:

1. Embrace Your Personal Style


Your boudoir shoot is all about you, so let your personal style shine through. Whether you prefer romantic lace, sultry satin, or daring leather, choose outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. Don't be afraid to mix and match different pieces to create a look that is uniquely yours.


2. Focus on Silhouettes


When selecting lingerie for your boudoir session, opt for pieces that show your body type in different ways. You can definitely wear the same silhouette for every look, but I'd recommend mixing it up. Go for a bodysuit, a robe and a bra and underwear set, or play around with gowns, chemises or baby dolls. Experiment with different styles to find what makes you feel your best.


3. Play with Colors and Textures


Step out of your comfort zone and explore a range of colors and textures in your wardrobe. Bold hues like deep reds, emerald greens, or royal blues can add a touch of drama to your photos, while delicate lace and sheer fabrics can create a sense of femininity and allure.


4. Accessorize Wisely


Accessories can take your boudoir look to the next level. Consider adding statement jewelry, a luxurious robe, or a pair of killer heels to complement your outfit. Just remember, less is often more in boudoir photography, so choose pieces that enhance your look without overpowering it. After all, we want the focus to be on YOU not your accessories.


5. Prioritize Comfort


Above all, prioritize comfort when selecting your boudoir wardrobe. If you feel at ease in what you're wearing, it will naturally translate into your photos. Opt for fabrics that feel soft against your skin and lingerie that fits well and provides the support you need.


6. Consider Professional Hair and Makeup


Enhance your boudoir experience by enlisting the help of a professional hair and makeup artist. Their expertise can elevate your look, ensuring you feel pampered and camera-ready. At Buxom Boudoir, this is a complimentary service I offer so you don't have to lift a finger.


7. Relax and Have Fun


Last but not least, remember to relax and have fun during your boudoir session. Trust your photographer, embrace your beauty, and allow yourself to be fully present in the moment. The most captivating boudoir photos capture genuine emotions and authenticity.
