Boudoir photography has recently become more popular than ever, thanks to a more modern, fashion-inspired photographic approach. Gone are the days of cheesy, over-the-top glamour portraits – today’s boudoir is all about looking sensual, natural, and gorgeous.
It’s a great idea to have three or four outfits ready to go for your session. Generally a mix of corsets, teddies, thigh-highs, and bra and panty sets works best – heels are a must! You can also bring along his favourite dress shirt and tie, lacy gloves, or any other fun item to add to your images.
Wear loose fitting clothing on the day of the session to avoid any marks on your skin from elastics or buttons. If you plan on having a spray tan or any waxing, be sure to schedule these appointments at least three days prior to your session. If you will be doing your own makeup, be sure to apply a little more than usual – the effect of makeup is reduced in photos by about 50%.
During your Secret Session, Laura will demonstrate or instruct you how to pose. Start with the outfit you’re most comfortable in, and as the session progresses, you’ll relax and be able to come up with some great poses on your own!
Boudoir photography is as much about a gift for your significant other as it is about celebrating you! The main goal of a Secret Session is for the client to have fun, feel beautiful, and create images that are flattering, unique and memorable.
