Choosing Lingerie for your Boudoir Photo Session?  Think Bodysuits!

We are talking about choosing lingerie for your boudoir photo session today! While I always tell my clients they don’t HAVE to wear lingerie to a boudoir session with me, MOST of my female clients will bring some sort of lingerie to their session.  Even women who don’t normally wear lingerie or who NEVER wear lingerie choose to bring at least one piece of something silky, slinky, and sexy.

Last week we talked about the body-shaping corset, and why they are good options for an empowering photo session.  This week let’s talk about the benefits of a body-hugging bodysuit!

Bodysuits are very trendy this year.  They are also known as leotards, they are similar to a one-piece bathing suit and sometimes referred to as a teddy.  It connects with either hook-and-eye closures or snaps in the crotch.  They give you a very seamless, smooth look.  You can purchase bodysuits that are meant to be worn as outerwear, alone or layered with a jacket or cardigan.  They are popular because you don’t have to worry about tucking in all day long.  When you wear them with a skirt or pants, you know you are always tucked properly.

If you are scheduling a boudoir session and not sure about choosing lingerie, I strongly recommend a sheer bodysuit.   Bodysuits are flattering to ALL body types!  As long as you choose a fitted bodysuit, they will enhance your curves.  They follow the lines of your body in an oh-so-flattering way.  A bodysuit is a good choice, too, because you probably don’t wear it every day.  While I love a beautiful bra and panty set, most women wear bras and panties every single day.  A bodysuit is different.  It’s probably not something you wear every day.

Finding bodysuits online is very simple and there’s a wide range of prices.  As a person with a long torso, I know that I have to be careful ordering a bodysuit online.  There are local retailers who carry sheer bodysuits, though.  Try Forever 21, Target, and Torrid is one of my favorite places that fits my size.

For most women scheduling a boudoir session and choosing lingerie for the session is a once in a lifetime experience.  Embrace it.  Celebrate you.  Don’t just tip-toe outside of your comfort zone.  Rather, hurdle outside of it for this unique photo experience!

If you are still looking for a photographer for your boudoir session and would like to chat, please call me!  To me, it is all about finding a photographer you connect with.  For me, it’s about finding women / men / couples who will open up and be vulnerable with me.  That’s when you get the images that give you goosebumps.  Not every photographer is a good fit for you and not every client is a good fit for me!  Let’s get on the phone and talk about it!
