One of the biggest concerns I hear from women before they book a boudoir session is: “I wouldn’t even know how to prepare.” And right behind that: “What if I don’t do it right?” Let me take that pressure off you right now. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to prepare perfectly. You don’t even have to know what you’re doing. Your job is simple: Bring something you feel comfortable wearing… and show up. That’s it. Everything else? I take care of. All You Need to Bring Is What Makes You Feel Comfortable You don’t need a suitcase full of outfits or anything complicated. Bring a few pieces of lingerie or clothing that you feel good in. That could be: A lace set A cozy oversized sweater A bodysuit A robe Even something as simple as a button-down shirt There’s no “right” or “wrong” here. Boudoir isn’t about wearing something you think you’re supposed to wear—it’s about wearing something that feels like you. And if you’re unsure? I help gu...

If you’re thinking about booking a boudoir session, one of the first questions that usually comes up is: “What should I wear?” And right behind that is the worry: “What if nothing looks good on me?” Let me put that fear to rest right now—there is something that will look incredible on you. The key isn’t having a certain body type. It’s choosing lingerie that highlights your favorite features and makes you feel confident in your own skin. As a boudoir photographer, I guide women through this all the time. You don’t have to figure it out alone. But to give you a starting point, here’s how to think about lingerie for different body shapes—and what styles tend to photograph beautifully on each. Hourglass Shape (Balanced curves with a defined waist) If you have an hourglass figure, your body naturally has that balanced, curvy silhouette. Best lingerie styles: Corsets or bustiers High-waisted lingerie sets Lace bodysuits Garter belts Why it works: These pieces emphasiz...

If you’ve ever thought about doing a boudoir session but immediately followed it with, “I could never do that…” —you’re exactly the woman this is for. Boudoir photography isn’t about being a model. It’s not about having a “perfect” body. And it’s definitely not about knowing what you’re doing. It’s about you—exactly as you are right now. As a boudoir photographer, I’ve worked with women who walked in feeling nervous, unsure, and even a little self-conscious… and walked out seeing themselves in a completely different light. If you’re on the fence, here are five powerful reasons why a boudoir session might be one of the best things you ever do for yourself: 1. It Will Boost Your Confidence and Help You Appreciate Your Own Beauty Most women are their own worst critics. You see every flaw. Every insecurity. Every little thing you wish you could change. But what you don’t see—what I do see—is how beautiful you already are. A boudoir session gives you the chance to step outside of...
