Boudoir

If you are preparing for an upcoming boudoir session, you are undoubtedly facing some wardrobe and accessory decisions, one of which being, “What is the best nail color choice (if any) for boudoir photos?” The important thing to keep in mind is that there is no “right” or “wrong” answer to this question. Like most decisions related to boudoir photography, The Adore Girls are happy to give you our two cents on the subject, but ultimately it will come down to your own personal taste, style and preference....

As we have previously explained in another blog, there is a whole “sexy spectrum” of boudoir photography, and where you choose to land on that spectrum will determine what types of poses your photographer will coach you into for your boudoir photo shoot. Some women prefer to stay on the more modest end of the spectrum, with a goal of creating sexy images that aren’t necessarily sexual, while some other women might really want to push the envelope and create boudoir photos that are a little (or a...

While we always stress that a boudoir session is, first and foremost, the best gift you could ever give yourself (whether you initially realize that or not), we do have a large number of clients who book their sessions with the intention of also giving their gorgeous photos to a loved one as a gift for an upcoming special occasion, such as a wedding, birthday, or anniversary. Whenever this is the case, it is important to make sure you schedule your photo shoot far enough in advance to...

Another HUGE mistake that women sometimes make is bringing in lingerie that either they’ve never tried on before, or that they know does not fit them well, but assume we will Photoshop the images to make them look more flattering. In the case of the former, the reason it is EXTREMELY important to try on your wardrobe prior to your session is because all women are built differently. Just because a piece of lingerie looks like it should fit you when you hold it up, or it looks...

The biggest things to keep in mind are that, again, The Adore Girls’ staff is 100% female, and we’ve photographed more than 2300 women over the past ten years. So, the last thing you need to worry about is being mortified in front of any of us, especially when it comes to period-related issues or accidents during your boudoir session. Not only have we all experienced them ourselves at one time or another, but we’ve probably photographed them, too. There have, indeed, been times when we’ve noticed a...

That’s because we truly LOVE what we do, and it shows!

Edgy Boudoir Wardrobe Ideas Wardrobe styling for an edgy boudoir photo shoot is all about portraying a self-confident and assertive attitude. In fact, it is actually quite easy to give almost any boudoir outfit a little more edge simply by adding the appropriate accessories, such as pairing some thigh-high stiletto boots with a casual black tank top and panties, or throwing a leather jacket over a glamorous purple lace teddy. Of course, there are also many styles available from companies like Honey Birdette and Hauty that are dynamic...

Casual Boudoir Wardrobe Ideas Some popular casual wardrobe options for boudoir sessions include button-up shirts, such as a man’s oxford work shirt or flannel, oversized sweaters or cardigans, sports jerseys, or simply just wearing a sheet. Another favorite are T-shirts and tank tops because they allow you visibly express more of your personality without having to incorporate props into your boudoir photos (which we are not a big fan of, by the way). For example, some women love to wear T-shirts and tank tops that have messages written...

Glam Boudoir Wardrobe Ideas In terms of wardrobe styling for a glam boudoir shoot, the more luxurious and feminine the lingerie, the better! Pretty bra & panty sets with matching garter belts and stockings are an extremely popular wardrobe choice, as are lace teddies, silk nighties, and even long skirts or gowns. Darlin’ in Nashville is a local lingerie boutique that sells beautiful, romantic pieces from harder-to-find brands, like Dora Larsen, Only Hearts, and Else, as well as size-inclusive brands like Thistle and Spire, Kilo Brava and Playful...
