Items For Your Boudoir Photoshoot
https://amzn.to/2X4jtCh Sexy Kimono
This is a great choice for all body types. For the beginning of your session, I encourage everyone to bring something to wear over your lingerie and this is perfect for the off the shoulder look photos as well. If you’re uncomfortable with your midsection, a kimono can be taken off and held in front of you while in a sexy pose. Don’t worry about feeling shy we have you covered - literally!
https://amzn.to/2GK1tYr Eye Lash Extension
These are a great alternative to the lashes that salons place. If you don’t already have extensions, I recommend these for that dramatic look. These extensions are magnetic and can be used over and over again. Lashes placed with glue are fine to us, but this particular product is great if you don’t have experience placing lashes.
https://amzn.to/2TXrBT6 Tanning Lotion
I don’t have a lot of experience with tanning lotions, but this is one that has come recommended by my clients. Be sure to wash your hands and bottoms of your feet right after applying to avoid an uneven color. I also suggest doing a test run at least a month before your session so you know how your skin reacts.
Tanning Lotion
https://amzn.to/2GLwuef Mascara
Ruby Woo. You’ve come this far go a little further and go bright!
https://amzn.to/2TVYOyF Lip gloss
Keep your lips looking smooth during your photo session!
https://amzn.to/2GpYXah Knee High Socks
Knee high socks often come up in conversation when creating a look for a boudoir session. These are a quality pair of solid color knee highs that can go with any lingerie look.
https://amzn.to/2V1OLZ0 Black Heels
While shoes are not needed, if you have a vision for your session including a great pair of heels, classic black is a great choice.
https://amzn.to/2UXItt6 Lotion
Make sure to apply lotion to your legs and arms before your session for a smooth, healthy glow. This is one of my favorites for texture and moisture.
After you exfoliate your make up will go on smoother. Your skin will have a healthy glow for pictures. https://amzn.to/2GqATUM Exfoliant
Exfoliation allows your make up to go on more smoothly and will help give your skin a healthy glow as well. This product is recommended by several clients.
https://amzn.to/2GrWvQD Water bottle
Boudoir photos are a time for self care! Invest in some beautiful and practical items for yourself. Remember to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest before your session. The day before and day of drink lots of water. Having a beautiful water bottle will help to remind you to use it!
https://amzn.to/2TW1E6N Tops/Shirt idea………..one of my inexpensive favorites! This comes in many colors.
https://amzn.to/2TPXbT5 another of my personal favorites. Don’t be afraid to ask your boudoir photographer for a more conservative image that you can use as a social media profile image. Having an outfit change like a basic top works great for this.
If your Photographer gives you a moment to get a pose like this then take it( maybe an above the shoulders shot). Don’t be afraid to ask your photographer for a conservative image that you can use as a social media profile image. I encourage ladies to get in front of the camera and if you have gone as far as getting your hair and make up done then get an image you can share.
https://amzn.to/2X4i9iX Joggers
I highly suggest to avoid wearing elastic waist, or tight clothing the day of your session. Tight and elastic clothing can leave marks on the skin, so I suggest a loose fitting item like this to be worn the day of your session.
https://amzn.to/2TOw7U8 - Comfy Robe/House Lounger
This is one of my favorite purchases for myself. This is worth every penny. This will be comfortable and usable even after your Boudoir session. I wear this daily. Or If you want to be more covered for your session and have a fun cozy session with a cup of tea this is the must have for you.
I have this and love it!!
https://amzn.to/2TNuN3K In my opinion these are the best panties out there.
I wore these for my own Boudoir session and they’re both comfortable and look sexy with the right poses.
https://amzn.to/2DGRujr Simple White Tank
Don’t stress about your wardrobe, sometimes the simplest items are the sexiest. It doesn’t get more simple than a tank top like this. Many creative poses can be done in this simple tank, which puts the focus on you and not your outfit.
https://amzn.to/2EcOJI1 Plus size bra
For ladies with bigger assets, this is a popular style of bra available in plus sizes and has great reviews. The Kimono above, with black panties and this bra is a perfect style for a classic boudoir session.
https://amzn.to/2SXr6LA Teddy/ Nightie. This nightie is available in xs-xxl . The model on the cover of this blog is wearing this item.
https://amzn.to/2X4kudJ Body Suit. This nightie is available in xs-xxl . The model on the cover of this blog is wearing this item.
https://amzn.to/2TQ3pSX Lingerie Bag
Lingerie snags easily and should be
transported in bags. You can use these to wash your delicates in as well.
https://amzn.to/2TSAddS Travel bag
Travel bag - with all the items you will need here is a weekend bag suggestion. I love larger bags and see many ladies carry all of their items in a bag like this.
