Boudoir

FAQ

Frequently Asked Q's

Boudoir photography is a form of portrait photography that emphasizes personal confidence, beauty, and self-expression. It’s about capturing intimate, relaxed moments that make you feel strong, beautiful, and unique. Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply celebrating yourself, boudoir photos are an opportunity to embrace who you are in a comfortable, supportive environment.

Everyone are all welcome. A safe, supportive, and inclusive environment space for all genders, body types, and identities. Whether you’re taking photos for yourself, a partner, or just to embrace your own journey, boudoir is a chance to celebrate your individuality. This includes:

  • All genders and gender expressions
  • All body types and sizes
  • All sexual orientations, including LGBTQ+ individuals and couples
  • People of all cultural backgrounds

Boudoir is about self-love and acceptance, and everyone deserves to feel confident and beautiful, no matter who they are or who they love.

You can expect to receive your edited photos within 2-3 weeks. We always strive to deliver your photos as quickly as possible while ensuring the highest quality.

For your boudoir photo session, bringing the right items can help you feel comfortable, confident, and ready to express yourself. Here’s a list of things you might consider bringing:

1. Lingerie / Outfits

Bring a variety of outfits that make you feel good about yourself. This could include:

  • Lingerie sets: Lace, satin, or any fabric that feels luxurious.
  • Robes: A silky robe can give a soft, elegant vibe.
  • Corsets or bodysuits: For a more structured look.
  • Oversized shirts or sweaters: A cozy but sexy look.
  • Heels or boots: If you want to add a little height or glam.
  • Bridal wear (if it’s a gift for a partner) or any special outfits for the occasion.

2. Jewelry & Accessories

  • Simple jewelry: A delicate necklace, bracelets, or earrings can add subtle elegance without taking away from the focus on you.
  • Hair accessories: Maybe a cute hair clip or headband if you want to add a little flair.
  • Gloves or scarves: For a more dramatic, vintage-inspired feel.

3. Shoes

  • Bring a few pairs of shoes that you feel comfortable and confident in, whether that’s heels, boots, or even something more casual if you want a more laid-back look.

4. Props (Optional)

  • A meaningful item: Something that has sentimental value to you, like a special scarf, a favorite book, or a meaningful piece of jewelry.
  • Veils or hats: If you want to add an extra layer of drama or playfulness.
  • Blankets or throws: For cozy, wrapped-up shots.

5. Makeup & Hair Products

  • If you’re doing your own hair and makeup, bring the products you’re comfortable with to touch up between shots.
  • Lip balm and a setting spray to ensure your makeup stays fresh.

6. Underwear and Basics

  • It’s always a good idea to have a few pairs of neutral-colored underwear and a well-fitted bra to start with. You can mix and match these with other outfits or accessories to build different looks.

7. Nude or Neutral Clothing

  • If you want to start the session with something more casual or relaxed, bring nude or neutral-colored clothing (like a simple tank top or nude undergarments) for a natural, no-makeup look.

8. Confidence & Positive Energy

  • While not a physical item, bringing a confident and open mindset is key to having a successful session. Wear your confidence as your best accessory, and remember—it’s all about celebrating you!
