What to Wear Wednesday – You CAN Wear Denim to your Boudoir Photo Session!

Who here likes routines?  I am not a fan of routines and am always looking for a different angle to photograph from, or a different background to shoot in front of.  Sometimes it’s as simple as finding different music to play while photographing.  So it is no surprise that I am excited when a client brings something that is different from the last client. 

We are keeping a running list of these items so I can share them with you on What to Wear Wednesday.  We have talked previously about wearing corsets or body suits, both of which highlight the curves of your body.  Over the past few months, we have had several clients wear denim during their photo session and I think it is brilliant!

Why Wear Denim?

Part of what I look for in clothing options is something that makes you feel confident.  Some clients choose to wear denim for their first outfit.  A jean jacket is something that is comfortable, provides more coverage and you probably already have one.  You can wear a jean jacket with a tank top under it or maybe with nothing under it at all!

When planning your outfits, I always suggest you look for variety.  While I love photographing women wearing lingerie, I often like to see variety in the images we take, especially if you are planning to have us custom design an album for you.  Whether it is a gift for yourself or a significant other, an album with a variety of images is pleasing to the eye.  Consider bringing a favorite pair of jeans or your favorite cut-off jean shorts to include.

When it comes down to it, though, I always suggest you bring items that ARE who you ARE.  I am most happy with images that reflect your unique personality, your unique beauty.  If that includes a cowboy hat and you wear denim shorts with it, that’s what I want you to bring.  By the end of the session, I want you to be comfortable being vulnerable in front of my camera.  That’s when we capture the very best images.  Take a look through your own closet and pull out anything and everything that makes you feel confident, sexy or sassy or just plain comfortable!
