Until booking your boudoir shoot, you probably haven’t given a ton of thought to thigh-highs. Unless, of course, you are a pin-up model from the 1930’s. While they are not a necessity for a boudoir shoot, you have to admit - they do look great on your legs, and can really help your “boudoir / I’m-always-this-sexy-for-real look”.

One thing I want you to watch out for is self-stick versus non-stick thigh highs. Who knew thigh highs were complicated enough to have a ‘thing’ to watch out for?! (By the way, all of this “stick / thigh” talk is just making me think of stick or non stick pans and chicken thighs. Mmmm).

Self-stick is pretty self explanatory; they work if you are not wanting to wear a garter belt. Please buy a size up, because they squeeze tight (to stay up and in place, probably.. just a guess ;)).  Keep in mind that you will not want to have red marks for the rest of your shoot from the tights digging into your legs! 

Non-stick cannot stay up by themselves, and are meant to be worn with a garter belt.  These are the kind you will want to bring if you want the garter belt look - they are easier to attach to the garter belt if they don’t have a hunk of sticky rubber on them!

Pretty simple, right?  Don't worry, you probably just didn’t know because you’re not Betty White :).

**Have you heard? I'm on tour this year! That's right, this Atlanta boudoir photographer is headed your way (probably). I'll be photographing women for their boudoir sessions in Vegas, Chicago, New York, London, Miami, and New Orleans. Are you looking to make a trip? Turn it into a long weekend... or maybe plan your vacation around me! Know someone in those areas? Give them my info. You'll be loved forever.
