Nude Boudoir Shoot vs Clothed – What’s Right For You?

There are no rules when it comes to dressing up for a boudoir photo session. You don’t have to wear clothes at all if you don’t want to but at the same time we need to stress that you certainly don’t have to be naked or topless. (The choice is yours and yours alone)

We want you to do whatever you feel most comfortable with. Your outfit, or lack of, should reflect your personality.

If you feel uncomfortable, the photos will show that; on the flip side, if you feel attractive, even a typically basic outfit will come off as seductive and alluring.

It’s hard not to feel instant envy when you see a friend’s Boudoir Photos. You might wonder to yourself “how did she get the confidence to do it! I want photos like that. Maybe she just has more courage than I do.”

For many people, booking a boudoir photoshoot can be an intimidating and scary prospect. Why? Well, there are many reasons not least because many people believe that Boudoir means wearing ‘not very many clothes’ and while that is often the case for many of our clients, it’s entirely up to you what you wear.

More than 50% of our clients have some body image issues, whether due to the ageing process or because of kids or whatever reason, these women just don’t love themselves anymore and, frankly, this is why they come to us. It’s our job to try and give our clients permission to look in the mirror once again and love what they see. This is the beauty of Boudoir.

Among the many cherished photo opportunities, a 3 generations photoshoot stands out as a heartfelt and unique experience.

CHOOSE YOUR BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER CAREFULLY

No one wants to live with regret, and when it comes to choosing a boudoir photographer, it’s a bit trickier than most of our normal, daily decisions.

There’s so much information out there and a lot of amateur photographers advertising some great deals. (Like photoshoots for a tenner!)

It’s hard to know where to start and not get sucked into a seductive offer and end up regretting it later. Remember, you’ll be visiting a stranger and you’ll likely be standing in front of that stranger either completely naked or partially naked. Not something you want to do lightly. You’ll need to keep your wits about you and not just jump into this with no consideration or research beforehand.

Of course, if you’ve never booked a photographer before then how do you know what to look for?

Unlike many High Street Studios, we use a variety of different locations which you can choose for your vary own Boudoir Photoshoot. Here, for example, is a super sexy boudoir style shoot at the Great Victoria Hotel in Bradford in one of the most luxurious and sexy penthouse suites in Yorkshire. We’ve photographed in this Penthouse many many times and it’s still one of our favourite locations. Twin baths at the end of the bed, a stunning walk in wet-room and gorgeous furnishings with lavish curtains. Just about everything in this stylish and contemporary suite is perfect for a boudoir photoshoot.

One of the most popular ‘outfits’ for a boudoir session is the bedsheets!

The sheets are also a fantastic way to create shape! We often use the draping of the fabric to enhance your curves and conceal any areas you feel a little self conscious about. Sometimes we’ll switch it up and use net curtains or bridal veils. Anything white that offers coverage but yet, shows a little hint of what lies underneath, is perfect for this look.

As a mum of 3 including a set of twins, my body confidence has been low for a very long time.
