What to Bring to Your Boudoir Shoot
So, you’ve booked your boudoir session (eeek! We’re so excited!), and now you’re wondering what on earth do I bring?
First of all: take a deep breath. You don’t need to pack every single sexy thing in your closet. Your boudoir session is all about celebrating you — your energy, your confidence, your goddess energy.
Before you boudoir experience with us, we’ll walk you through everything you’ll need and give you ideas for your boudoir looks but if you want to prepare ever more beforehand, here is our guide on what to bring to your boudoir shoot.
What to Bring to Your Boudoir Shoot
Lingerie that makes you feel like that girl
This isn’t about what anyone else thinks is sexy. It’s about what makes you feel magnetic. Whether that’s a lacy bodysuit, a barely-there thong, or your favorite bralette and high-waisted panty combo, you get to choose the vibe.
And don’t be afraid to mix styles and colors! Here are some ideas:
Classic black lace
Soft pastels or whites for a romantic feel
Deep reds, emeralds, or jewel tones
Something sheer or stripy to spice it up
A statement piece or two
This could be anything that adds a little drama or personality! A structured corset, your partner’s blazer, a satin robe, or even a leather jacket. The contrast between a feminine lingerie set and a bold outer layer makes for some seriously jaw-dropping shots.
Accessories to elevate the mood
You don’t need to go overboard, but a few thoughtfully chosen accessories can bring your shoot to the next level. We love:
A delicate necklace or body chain
Thigh-high stockings or garter belts
Heels that make you feel powerful
A silk tie to cover your eyes or bind your wrists
A loose-fitting outfit for before and after
We recommend arriving in something loose and comfy to avoid any tight clothing marks on your skin. Think an oversized tee, joggers, sweatpants, or even a robe! Your skin will thank you, and you’ll feel more relaxed leading up to your shoot.
Personal touches
Do you have something sentimental you’d like to include? A piece of jewelry, your wedding veil, your partners favorite beverage, or even your favorite perfume. These little details can help tell your unique story and add that extra layer of intimacy to your images.
Your confidence (and maybe a touch of nerves)
Real talk: you do not need to show up feeling like a professional model. We’ve got you!
With a little courage, an open mind, and a willingness to let yourself be seen, we’ll guide you every step of the way through your boudoir session. That includes posing and expression! So you can focus on feeling empowered and enjoying the experience.
A few final reminders
Before your shoot, you’ll want to try all of your boudoir looks on to make sure you feel good in them. Don’t forget to steam or iron pieces the day before your shoot to get any wrinkles out and pack your bag the night before so your morning feels effortless.
If you’re still not sure what to bring (or you just want a second opinion), we’re always happy to help you plan your looks! At Ma Cherie Studios, your session is yours and will be unique to what you want it to be like.
