What Should I Wear for My Photo Shoot?
If you’re unsure or confused about what to wear for your photo session stop worrying, I’ve got you covered. I’m here to help you all the way from your pre-shoot consultation through the day of your photo shoot. Fully clothed, partially clothed, or implied nudity can all be beautiful and sexy. It’s important that you plan your clothing items around what your style and comfort level is. You can bring items you already have and feel beautiful in or you can purchase new specifically for your shoot. I have items in my studio wardrobe that can be borrowed and some items you can purchase as well. If you plan on shopping, make sure you’ve tried the clothing on, moved around, and love it. Don’t wait until you get dressed for your shoot to try something on for the first time. You may find it’s the wrong size or you just don’t like how it fits on you. You will look the sexiest when you feel confident and good about yourself.
Remember, this experience is ultimately about what you want, what you like, and what you want to see yourself in. Your clothing should reflect your taste and personal style.
Thinking about Lingerie for a Boudoir Session?
Vintage slips, a teddy and/or camisole always photograph well. A corset or a bustier with thigh high stockings, a garter belt, and heels are a common choice. Start simple and go from there. Think about what colors look good on you. If you have something your significant other finds especially sexy, bring it along! We do suggest you avoid the Baby Doll outfits as they have a tendency to give even the thinnest girls a heavier bell shape that does not photograph as well. Most importantly, bring a varied selection of bra and panty sets. Start with basic black and white, but also bring colors and patterns if you have something you particularly like. Bras and panties can be photographed alone or paired with other clothing items or accessories. Make sure they fit well and don’t cause bulges from tight elastic bands.
Casual Clothes more your style?
Everyday clothing is another option to bring with you. Items such as lacy or sheer tops, lose knit sweaters, jeans, shorts, sportswear, and pajamas can look cute and sexy if photographed properly. A simple white tank top or silky t-shirt is a must have! Looking to do images for social media or personal branding and your the casual type? Bring in what fits well and suits your personality. Normally staying away from busy prints or patterns is best, but if that is what you’re all about, bring them in! Leather jacket or cowboy boots can be paired with a comfy pair of jeans to capture amazing images.
Is Glamour and Glitz what you’re looking for?
Do you want pictures of you in a gown or that amazing little black dress? Then do it!!! Don’t have that in your closet? We can talk about your options; I have my wardrobe you can choose from or we can discuss other options to find that amazing dress (or dresses!) for your shoot. And don’t forget your heels and jewelry or if it’s more your style, barefoot is ok too.
Do you want to include Something of His?
If this is a gift for him, then bring something from his wardrobe. You might pick one of his favorite ties, a button down shirt, a sports jersey, or military uniform; anything that makes the images more personal and sexy to him!
What I want you to know is that there are no required outfits, no restrictions on style and no limits to how you can use your imagination in creating this shoot. It’s always best to bring a variety of outfits that make you feel great when you put them on and items that show your personality. Don’t forget to bring some accessories with you like jewelry, scarves, hats, high heels, boots, gloves, stockings, garter belts, military tags or whatever it is that has special meaning to you.
