What Is Bridal Boudoir Photography?

One of my favorite style of photography is Boudoir photography and that is what I specialize in. I believe every women should experience Boudoir photography at least once in their life regardless of age and body shape. Everyone has their hidden sexy because I believe every women should experience having beautiful photos of themselves in Most people either ask me what is Boudoir photography or they have different perspectives so today I want to talk about what Boudoir Photography is and why is it becoming so popular these days?

Boudoir is a French word meaning a lady's private dressing room or bedroom. In photography, boudoir refers to a style in which women pose for photographs partially clothed or in lingerie. The photos are tasteful and nudity is typically implied rather that explicit. They are sensual and sexy as well as classy and elegant.Photos and albums from boudoir shoots make excellent wedding day, anniversary, holiday and birthday gifts, with wedding gifts for the husband-to-be becoming extremely popular. These photos are also used as a way to document how great you look and feel about yourself at this given time.

Choosing a Boudoir Photographer

As with your wedding photographer, choosing the right boudoir photographer is key to a successful photo shoot. You’ll want to feel comfortable being mostly naked in front of your photographer and the camera. When you start speaking with potential candidates, think about how relaxed and easy-going the conversations and interactions are. Take a look at samples of their work and portfolio so that you can see whether or not you like their style. Choose someone whose style you enjoy, offers a photography package you’re looking for and you feel comfortable and relaxed around. These are the key traits to look for in the perfect boudoir photographer.

Boudoir Photo Shoot Locations

Now that you’ve selected a photographer to document your sexy shoot, it’s time to choose the location. Many boudoir photographers have a studio in which they have chairs or beds set up for different scenes and settings. If you don’t feel comfortable posing in their studio,  you can always book a hotel room or choose another private location. Oftentimes studios will provide champagne and snacks so that you can fuel up and gain a little liquid courage for your shoot. You can also provide a playlist of your favorite music to get in the zone.

Outfits, Props and Accessories

Boudoir photos typically involve lingerie, but that doesn’t mean that you have to start shopping for a lacy undergarment. Think about what kind of look you’re going for, such as sexy, playful, pinup or glam. You also don’t have to pose in your underwear; you can take great boudoir photos in a modest outfit, such as jeans and a tank top. If you know your fiancé loves the way you look in his favorite team’s jersey, pair it with cute boyshorts for a playful and cute look. If you want to channel your inner pinup model, there are plenty of outfit choices that range from barely there to full coverage. Many boudoir photography studios have wardrobe options for you to choose from, and they’ll help you decide what looks best for the look you’re trying to achieve. Props and accessories such as jewelry, masks, toys, stockings, garters, umbrellas and anything else you can think of make the photos even more special and exciting. Talk to your photographer beforehand to see what they have and what you should bring yourself; you’ll probably need to bring your own shoes but they may be able to provide everything else.

Hair and Makeup

In order to look the part, you’ll need to have your hair and makeup done. Many boudoir studios offer on-site hairstylists and makeup artists who will make you over as part of your photography package. Fake eyelashes and hair extensions are commonly used, while makeup styles can be as natural or heavy as you’d like. Remember that your photographer and stylists will have expert opinions on your beauty look, but you have the final word on your makeover. Feel free to bring your own products that you know work well, or let the stylists work their magic! If you’ve done research ahead of time on the look you’re interested in, bring photos so that they can see what you’re envisioning.

Boudoir Albums

After the shoot is over and you’ve received your images, a great way to present them is in a photo album. Your boudoir images are guaranteed to be beautiful, so why not show them off in a professional-quality album? Whether you plan to give your fiancé the album as a gift or you’d like to keep a copy for yourself, creating an elegant, tasteful and high-quality album of your boudoir albums is the best way to preserve and showcase your sexy photos.
