TAKE THE BOUDOIR QUIZ

There’s nothing wrong with heading to your boudoir shoot with what little clothes you plan to have on, but some girls like to spice things up and bring boudoir props and accessories to their session.

Dressing up in costume or incorporating props into your boudoir shoot is a fun way to show off your individual style and personality or act out a personal fantasy for you or your partner. Those who love the ‘shades of Grey’ look often bring handcuffs, feathers, whips and chains. If this is your style, then go with it but always stay authentic to who you are or the results will look cheesy and false.

Costumes are another common thing that clients bring to their Boudoir shoots. Anything from super heroes to real work uniforms. We try to discourage costumes bought cheaply from fancy dress stores and encourage the real thing wherever possible. (Fireman’s uniform for example, though the real ‘spiderman’ outfit may be harder to find….. Peter Parker doesn’t like sharing)

Boudoir is intimate in so many different ways.

Boudoir, if done right, strips away any pretense. It gives you the space to be who you are. And in that moment of clarity, you discover what pulsates within you. What obsessions. What desires. What drama and flair.

It brings such a sense of connection and soul to the art that is photography.

Boudoir is often raw, often sensual but always transformative. And when something tells so compelling a story in images, it demands the best in terms of settings and props to let the saga unfold.

So here is a list of five boudoir props that will never go out of style & that we recommend across the board.
