Why you need to book a boudoir session as a gift to yourself | Atlanta Boudoir Photographer


Alright, ya’ll, let’s have a heart-to-heart.

You’ve been juggling careers, family, and all the little details of life like a circus performer on a unicycle. When was the last time you did something that was just for YOU? No, not the “finally get to binge-watch your favorite show” moment, but something truly indulgent and fabulous that you do for YOU. If your answer involves a shrug and a look of guilt, it’s time to rethink your self-care game. Let’s talk about why a boudoir shoot is the self-gift you didn’t know you needed.

Let’s set the scene because this is not your average photoshoot. This is where glam meets grit in the most stunning way. You, in all your power and glory (regardless of the week/month/year that you’ve had), being pampered and styled to look like the goddess you are. We’re talking a day of full-on indulgence designed just for you. Forget the endless to-do lists and family demands for a moment. We’ll put on your favorite music, have a full professional hair/makeup session, play ‘adult dress-up’, and end with a set of images that are designed to remind yourself of the person that STILL exists inside of you. This is a time to treat yourself to a day where the only thing you need to focus on is how fabulous you feel. Because, let’s be honest, you deserve a day where you’re the center of attention—no guilt required.

Seeing yourself in those professionally shot and retouched photos is like a confidence boost straight to the heart. You’ll look at those images and think, “Wow, is that really me?” Spoiler alert: yes, it is. And that newfound confidence? It’ll stick around longer than the glow from your makeup.

It’s time to focus on you, enjoy professional pampering, and leave with photos that will make you feel like the radiant human you truly are. Because in the end, the best gift you can give yourself is a little bit of fabulous self-love, even if it’s more of a ‘fake it until I make it’ situation.

Here are 5 boudoir session wardrobe ideas that will add variety to your session

Variety is key when it comes to a successful boudoir photoshoot. We definitely don’t want your image collection to look like a catalog of black lace lingerie.

By incorporating a variety of wardrobe options, poses, and settings, you can create a diverse range of photos that showcase different sides of your personality and style. This can include playful and fun shots, romantic and sensual images, and more daring and adventurous poses. Having a variety of options can also help you feel more comfortable and confident during the boudoir shoot, allowing you to fully embrace the experience and capture images that truly reflect who you are. So, don't be afraid to mix things up and try new things to create a dynamic and unforgettable boudoir photoshoot. If you’re having trouble searching for a little variety then don’t worry: we have a WHOLE collection of robes, leather, lace, body jewelry, etc at our Marietta based studio! If you’re shooting on location somewhere in Atlanta then we can always bring a few of our options to you!

Here are my top 5 tips for incorporating a little variety into your boudoir session:

  1. Incorporate Sheer Fabrics: Incorporate sheer fabrics into your boudoir wardrobe to add a touch of sexiness to your photoshoot. You can choose from sheer robes, teddies, or even a sheer blouse paired with a lacy bra.

  2. Opt for Bodysuits: Bodysuits are versatile and can be found in various styles, including sheer, lace, or even leather. These can be paired with stockings, garters, and high heels to create a seductive look. Here is my go-to bodysuit that looks good on everyone! And here is a similar bodysuit that has more inclusive sizing for curvier figures!

  3. Try a Slip Dress: A slip dress can create a sensual and feminine look for your boudoir session. You can choose a silky, lace-trimmed slip dress or one with a low-cut neckline. I LOVE this slip dress, and is has a bonus feature of being a little stretchy :)

  4. Play with Accessories: Accessories can add a unique touch to your boudoir session wardrobe. You can add a statement necklace or earrings, a fur stole, or even a pair of handcuffs. Heyoooooooo ;)

  5. Go Bold with Colors: Remember earlier when I said that I didn’t want you to look like a catalog of black lace lingerie? Well COLOR is the definitive way to get around that issue. Don't be afraid to go bold with your color choices for your boudoir wardrobe. You can try a bright red or deep purple lingerie set to create a bold and sexy look. I also love the idea of a bright blazer or robe to go over the inevitable black lace set ;) I promise color is so fun, and if you’re iffy about it then just bring it in to our studio and we can see how it looks!

All of our boudoir sessions include a complimentary wardrobe styling appointment. Helping you every step of the way is our ultimate goal! You can book a consultation with us (virtually or at our Marietta based studio) right here!
