What to wear: Boudoir Photo Shoot

I’m so excited to be hosting my Boudoir Marathon on January 25th! Almost immediately after announcing the event, I received an outpouring of positive feedback and I’m really excited that it’s actually happening! Today, I wanted to answer a question about what to wear right here on the blog as one young woman asked me for advice for her upcoming boudoir shoot.

As much as I can provide some guidance on this, there is such a broad range it’s hard to simply narrow it down. My answer included a short list of ideas that could flatter any woman’s frame: knee highs, body suits, lingerie, fur shawls, a flowy feminine dress, over sized sweater and heels are always a good start.

But I want to be really clear – to me, boudoir is all about you. Your style. Your personality.

My role is to create photographs that reflect a beautiful moment. That moment when you embraced your beauty!

The theme of boudoir is beauty, femininity, and glamour. Wearing a white tee and jeans is just as acceptable as wearing lingerie. Putting on that exquisite flowing floor length gown (think Carrie Bradshaw in Paris!) is totally acceptable too!

My goal in all of this is to have each woman love themselves a little more. Isn’t it true that when we love ourselves, we then can accept love from others?

By taking a moment out of a busy work and social schedule to get a manicure, choose some nice items to wear, get your hair did and makeup done for a fab photo shoot is the beginning of a beautiful self love journey!

Do something just for you this Valentine’s Day!
