BRA & PANTY SETS

If you opt for this lingerie choice, make sure to get something special, not what you wear everyday, and that the area near your armpit looks nice and smooth. You should also not be coming out of the cups as this is more flattering in camera.

Insecure about your tummy? We recommend NOT bringing a bra & panty set but opting for one of the other lingerie items described in this guide.

Need a lift? Before you try on push-up bras, look for demi-cup bras, or underwire bras that offer strong support without adding too much size. This is more flattering proportion wise. Good support is more important than padding any day, especially during a photo shoot.

CORSET

NOTE: DUE TO TIME & POSE CONSTRAINTS, WE NO LONGER PHOTOGRAPH CORSETS.

Why? We only have 1.5- 2 hours to shoot 3-5 outfits which means that each outfit gets 30 minutes. Unlike other types of lingerie, corsets prohibit you from bending or lying down without the boobs spilling out at awkward angles which means tons of time is spent adjusting the boobs. The only way to avoid these issues is standing poses, but this creates an unbalanced album since the other 2 outfits will have sitting, standing, & lying down poses. Because we will be unable to give you an equal number of photos to choose from, we no longer photograph them. DO NOT BRING A CORSET - WE WILL NOT PHOTOGRAPH IT!!

CHEMISES

Chemises are like a tight little dress & flatter any figure. They provide great coverage around the stomach, hip, & buttock areas while still showing off womanly curves in lingerie fashion to give you that sex appeal you’re looking for without being too revealing.

BUSTIER

Need a lift but don’t want to show too much skin? Bustiers are for you! They offer amazing support while giving you a little more coverage, all while flattering your shape.

They are similar to a corset in coverage, but have cups built in that give nice breast support. Because they don’t cinch the waist like corsets do allowing us to offer you more pose variety, we're happy to photograph chemises.

These are a great item for those who are worried about showing their stomach as they cover it.

TEDDY

A teddy is a garment that covers the torso and crotch in one garment. It is a similar style of garment to a one-piece swimsuit or bodysuit but is typically more sheer and definitely sexier. These are often cut in the back to show off some tush. Look for cheeky or Brazilian cut bottoms over thongs though as string thongs don’t always flatter!

BODYSUIT

A bodysuit is a close-fitting, one-piece stretch garment for women. They are considered clothing, but they are great boudoir too!
These are often cut in the back to show off some tush. Look for cheeky or Brazilian cut bottoms over thongs though as string thongs don’t always flatter!
If your arms are a concern, just look for a long-sleeved body suit & you'll be good to go.

BABYDOLL

A babydoll is a short, sleeveless, loose-fitting nightgown. It sometimes has formed cups called a bralette for cleavage with an attached, loose-fitting skirt falling, in length, usually between the upper thigh and the belly button.

These are my LEAST favorite type of lingerie. Many women purchase them because they want to cover up & look thinner, but the reverse effect happens. Unless you are extremely skinny, we recommend NOT wearing a baby doll as the bell shape makes women look heavier.

GARTERS & THIGH HIGHS

A Garter Belt is worn around the waist or hips with attached garters or fasteners to hold up stockings. Sometimes Garters are built into lingerie so a belt isn’t needed. The stockings they hold up are called Thigh Highs. There are two different types of thigh highs. Some have a rubber material on the inside to help them stay up. If the stockings have the rubber inside they are NOT meant for garters, they are meant to be worn without them. The rubber allows them to stay up on their own. If you try to pair these stocking with garters, they are very hard to attach because of the thickness of them. Stockings without the rubber are much more desirable for garters as the rubber tends to create little fat rolls around the legs. There is an art to attaching the stockings. but don’t worry, I can help.

SHAPEWEAR

Shape wear is a type of tight-fitting underwear intended to control and shape the figure. There are many beautiful options out there these days. (Not the ones that are meant to be hidden, but styles that flatter and are also pleasing to the eye). These are a great item for those who are worried about showing their stomach as they cover it.

SLIPS

Think of slips as dresses that are a little too risque to wear alone, Often with cups built in for support, they come in many different styles. Some can fit into the shape wear category, but many do not. Opaque ones offer coverage for those who are worried about showing their stomach or who want to be a little more modest in their lingerie choice in general. Sheer ones like the one pictured here add a little spice to the ensemble.

CLOTHING

Clothing is a fantastic option for boudoir! It might sound counterintuitive but think about a hot leather jacket; or ripped jeans and a sexy bra; or off the shoulder sweaters; or a sheer T-shirt. There are so many options for clothing that can be just as sexy, if not sexier than lingerie.

Mixing & matching is fun!! Try a beautiful bra with a full skirt, a tank top with a lacey thong or high socks, etc., etc., etc. The options are endless!

GENERAL TIPS

Legs We all want long, gorgeous legs. Here are a couple of tips for that! Look for high cut bottoms as the higher the leg opening, the longer your legs will look. Also bring a pair of skin colored shoes with you as that will make your legs look even longer than they are.

Tush If a great tush shot is on your list, I recommend bottoms that show just enough, but not too much. I prefer cheeky or Brazilian bottoms to enhance your curves. Avoid string thongs as they don’t flatter!

Even though boudoir is about shedding layers, I do understand many women don’t want to show too much skin or they are concerned about parts of their body that they might not want to show off. Here are some tips to cover, boudoir style:

Stomach If you're worried about showing your stomach think of bringing a beautiful lace robe over a bra and underwear. A plain white tank top with lacey undies is also a great choice.

Arms are sometimes a concern for women. Well, let’s ease that concern. Look for long sleeved body suits or throw a crisp white button down over some killer lingerie. Presto - no worry needed.

PROPS & ACCESSORIES

SHOES
Please bring at least one pair of black and one nude colored heel with you. If you want to bring more shoes, fantastic!! Just keep in mind, the higher the heel – the better!!

JEWELRY
Feel free to bring any jewelry you might want to wear. I can help you choose what looks nice with your outfit and what will flatter depending on the poses that we are going to work with.

PROPS
If you want to bring a prop or two to show off your interests and personality, that’s great. Just be careful that it doesn’t get too costume like. Less is always more.

COLORS
Most colors work really well in camera. Some that do not include fluorescent and neon colours. If you like red, look for a deeper red – something not too bright. Black is always classic and looks great on everyone.
