The tips I am going to share today are just here to get you started, help you feel more at ease, and get you excited about planning your very own boudoir shoot!

What to Wear: Natural Boudoir

For boudoir photos that look and feel natural, less is more. A simple teddy or bra and panty set is all you’ll need to create this look. Focus on what fits well, hugs your curves, and feels most comfortable. For this look, subtle textures like lace, and floral work well. Neurals, earthy tones, or pastel colors like baby blue, and blush are ideal.

What To Wear: Comfy Boudoir

If lingerie isn’t really your thing, or you just love the idea of doing a boudoir session in something other than lingerie. This outfit idea feels cozy but also looks super cute, and should definitely be on your list of things to consider! Think over the shoulder sweaters, and t-shirts. You can transform any basic cheeky panties and bra to something cozy and flirty by layering your outfit with a cardigan or robe!

What To Wear: Glamorous Boudoir

Wearing something glamorous can truly elevate the experience. Whether it's a satin slip dress, full lingerie set with garter belt, stockings, and heels or something even more racy like a strappy bodysuit an outfit that makes you feel confident, strong, and sexy can go a long way. Opt for fabrics that flatter your figure and colors that complement your skin tone and overall vibe of your vision. Example given — for rich and moody think jeweled tones, for chic magazine style images try something black with gold, or rose gold details.

What To Wear: His Shirt / Themed Boudoir

Wearing something themed for your boudoir session can bring versatility and can be fun way to add more of your own personality to your boudoir photos. Don’t be afraid to incorporate light props (e.g. baseball caps, footballs, books, guitars, jersey), though its always a good idea to let the photographer know in advance if this is something that you’d like to do.

What To Wear: Bridal Boudoir

Bridal boudoir photos can be done in any boudoir outfit, but this is a special and intimate occasion so most woman will want to include something bridal in their boudoir photos. There are a few ways you can achieve this look just remember — This look can be elegant and sophisticated, or seductive and sensual. Its entirely up to you! The first and most common is to wear white, traditional bridal lingerie. Lace robes, silk gowns, anything sheer, even wearing nothing more than your engagement ring are all great choices, too! To elevate this look I recommend bringing in something sentimental, or something that will be a part of your wedding like your “something blue”, your engagement ring, your wedding shoes, veil etc. Another option is to introduce a sexy accessory like a wedding garter!

These boudoir outfit ideas are just a few of many to get you started! We never expect our clients to book their shoot with everything already figured out. As your boudoir photographer, I can work with you one on one during your consultation to help you figure out what to wear. Whether that’s needing help with ideas, knowing what to bring, not bring, or finding something that works best for your body type, you do not have to figure it out alone.

At the end of the day this is all about helping you look and feel your most confident. If that means going full glam, keeping it casual (or both) I want to encourage you to be yourself, wear what makes YOU feel beautiful, and have fun with it!

Top 5 Sexy Boudoir Outfits that Conceal Your Tummy | Best Boudoir Photographer in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Arizona

Our bodies are always changing but one thing remains the same at Bella Jade — You are worthy of being photographed at your lowest weight, your highest weight, your ideal weight, your after baby weight, your I’m getting older and things aren’t as tight anymore weight... They are all ok! And, part of this experience is to get comfortable being uncomfortable, to be gentle with yourself, to take back your sexy, and learn to love yourself unconditionally. Even still, we all have things we are a little more self conscious of going into this. For a lot of women, that happens to be their tummy! If you’re one of these people who are nervous to show their belly and would rather conceal it. Lets find you something sexy you can feel good in but also will look great in on camera.

Just as Sexy Boudoir Outfits that Conceal Your Tummy

Lace Body Suit

When in doubt a classic lace body suit can usually do the trick! They are typically easy to find and form to fit your figure not the other way around.

Sweater

Sweaters are an especially great choice if wearing lingerie is extremely outside of your comfort zone. It offers comfort, covers the belly, and can be just as sexy when paired with cheekier panties. You can show as little or as much skin as you want with this look! Its classy, flirty, and leaves just enough to the imagination to be incredibly captivating.

Lined Teddy

Similar in style to the bodysuit, so much so that the term is often used interchangeably. The teddy speaks more to what most of us think of when we hear “lingerie”. Teddies that are lined offer more support than lace bodysuits. Pro tip: If you have a larger bust I’d suggest choosing a Teddy that offers specific cup sizes to ensure that its a good fit!

Garter Belts

Already found a lingerie bra and panty set you love, but its just not quite there yet? Using garter belts is the quickest way to spice up your boudoir outfit while also concealing the lower tummy area. Find a garter belt that is adjustable and offers maximum coverage and you might be surprised at how much more comfortable you’ll feel in front of the camera!

High Waisted Panty

High waisted panties or briefs are trendy, incredibly flattering, and much more forgiving than your typical lingerie panty. Choose a rise that contours to your shape from mid to ultra high — bonus points if the fabric functions like shapewear! These are a boudoir studio favorite at Bella Jade Boudoir.
