I truly feel so honored when boudoir client come back annually for sessions. We constantly try to change + spice things up each and every time. Usually after one session, women feel so much more comfortable and confident in their own skin that they are thrilled to come back for a second round.

We added a stunning purple set from my Amazon shop for legit $30 and it was gorgeous! I always recommend adding a COLOR! It truly makes you pictures pop!

For this session we also added the shower set, the ice set + the honey set! I hope you enjoy these final images as much as I do :).

Come behind the scenes of our latest boudoir session and see why I always encourage client’s to add a pop of color!

1.) Try on all your OUTFITS + remove all the tags

This is essential! Depending how many outfits are included in your collection of choice, please make sure you try them all on and remove all the tags. You want to like the fit and feel comfortable in them!

2.) Come with your hair clean + dry

Hair and make-up is always included in our top collections (with lashes).

However, if we have to blow dry your hair, there will be an additional charge, so please come to your session with clean (NO PRODUCT) dry hair!

3.) Add a pop of COLOR

I can’t encourage this enough! Black is clearly the most popular lingerie color of choice, but adding a pop of color is a stunning addition to your pictures and I can’t recommend it enough!

4.) Opt for thong style bottoms over booty shorts

I promise you, thongs and g-strings photograph SO much better than booty shorts. I can make any booty look amazing so don’t worry there ;).

5.) Share your insecurities up front

If you have areas of your body that aren’t your favorite or that you truly don’t love to photograph, share that with me. I want every client to love their pictures to the moon and back – so if you have areas you want to focus more or less on, you just let me know!

6.) Bring a pair of heels

There are several poses I love to include heels in so bring a pair along – a stiletto is perferred!

7.) Get HYPED!

Your boudoir shoot is literally a day devoted to YOURSELF! It is the ultimate self care/self love/ self expression experience. Everyone is always a little nervous leading up to their session, but I promise your fears will melt away once you get rolling :)! And you will look back at the pictures and cherish the for a lifetime!

Summer boudoir only comes once a year and it’s the most fun to create! Here are my top tips for executing the perfect summer-themed boudoir session!

1.) Add WATER

Not to overstate the obvious but any kind of water is essential for a summer time boudoir session! So borrow a friend’s pool, get a hose, or just grab a spray bottle and give your skin a quick spritz. Body/tanning oil is also a great substitute.

2.) Add FRUIT

Fruit is a colorful + sexy addition to any summer boudoir session! I personally recommend oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit or watermelon. Squeeze and bite for full effect!

3.) Add ICE POPS

Just like fruit, ice pops are one of my favorite summer boudoir props – especially when you let them melt a little, the droplets look amazing in pictures.

4.) Go fully natural / no make-up

Summer boudoir is the time to embrace a natural face and some beachy hair. Ditch the excessive glam/lashes/hair extensions and bare it all. This is the time to wet your hair ;).

Enjoy all the spicy boudoir pictures below from my summer 2023 gallery!

TIP 1

Make sure the fit isn’t too loose

Lingerie should NOT be baggy!

If your lingerie is sagging off your skin, trust me, it won’t be flattering in your photos. “Baby doll” type lingerie sets are NOT recommended! I know many women like to hide their tummies + c-section scars, but I promise, one-piece lingerie or high-waisted undies looks WAY more stunning in photographs. And either will do just the trick for covering up areas you’re not 100% comfortable with.

TIP 2

Bring a COLOR set

Black will always be one of my favorite colors to photograph, because it’s naturally sexy and looks good on virtually everyone. However, I truly recommend bringing at least one color piece to your session. Tossing in a color may be out of your comfort zone, but it truly puts the best twist on your boudoir images. My favorite lingerie colors to photograph are royal blue, yellow, sea-foam green and hot pink.

TIP 3

Thongs are a MUST!

I have all the tricks to make any booty look amazing, so don’t cover yours up with booty shorts. I know showing a little skin can be scary, but when it comes to boudoir … the more the better. Make sure you pick a lingerie set that dresses up the booty in the best way. Here are some of my favorites!

TIP 4

Dress it down!

Although Tom Sandoval would not agree, doing something as simple as a cropped t-shirt and jeans for your boudoir session is an incredible look. It’s simple, effortless, sexy, REAL. I can’t recommend just going extra simple if lingerie just isn’t your thing. Hell, even topless truly makes for the best boudoir pictures.
