the sexiest thing that a woman can wear is confidence!

So, you did it! You’ve finally decided to do this crazy boudoir thing. Likely you’re sitting somewhere between nervous and excited — maybe you still have a few questions, but for the most part you can not wait to get in the studio, unleash your sexy, and step into your more confident self! Usually, the first question my boudoir clients ask when booking their Scottsdale boudoir shoot is “what should I wear".

There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to outfit options like —

body type, what you hope to highlight or de-emphasize, your personal style, what will look good on camera, what compliments your hair/eyes/skin tone, where the photoshoot is taking place (whether it be in our main studio or in The Grey Room), and what look and feel inspires you! It can seem overwhelming at first, but you’re in the right place because we specialize in boudoir photography, want you to feel great, and are here to help simplify things for you. We talk in detail on what to wear for your boudoir shoot during your pre-shoot styling & wardrobe consultation (included when you book a Bella Jade Boudoir session). And honestly, most women find planning their boudoir session to be fun, exciting, and liberating. It’s a chance to express yourself, play dress up as an adult ( which is better because you have much better taste now, I’m sure😊!) , and explore your more sensual side. If this is you, I recommend to begin playing with ideas before your consultation, then finalizing your outfits later!

We talk a lot about this during your styling and wardrobe consultation so that you are not left scrambling the night before trying to guess what you should have packed.

While you may be wondering what you should bring in your boudoir bag, we also want you to consider what NOT to bring to your boudoir session.

While you may be wondering what you should bring in your boudoir bag, we also want you to consider what NOT to bring to your boudoir session.





What NOT to bring to your Scottsdale boudoir photo shoot:




An Overwhelming Amount of Jewelry








Jewelry is one of those statement pieces that can add an extra bit of va va voom to your photos. It looks good. It feels good. And its super tempting to want to bring it all! But, it actually best you leave the majority of your collection at home. Focus on one or two pieces that you love or that are sentimental to you and pair them with each outfit in advance. Your jewelry should be timeless, compliment your outfits, and fall nicely when laying down.






Distracting Props








If you want to personalize your session by bringing in a prop, GO FOR IT! We find props to be exciting, and for a lot of women bringing a prop can help pull you out of your shell and unleash the real you! Proceed with caution though. Some props can be cumbersome to work with and/or take away from the star of the show, which on this day is YOU.

For a list of props to avoid come back and check out our blog post Props | Love it or Leave it.






Your Make-up Bag









Mostly, because you wont need it. It’s understandable to bring your favorite lip or special foundation — Just know that our in house stylists have professional kits that can accommodate almost everything make up that is needed to get you ready for your boudoir shoot. This includes an array of false eyelashes and lip colors to choose from. Of course it is always best practice to let us know in advance of things like hypersensitive skin or allergies.









“It just doesn’t fit quite right” Outfits









Try everything on before you pack, and make sure that you give yourself enough time exchange your items as needed. If it just doesn’t fit quite right and you cant stop thinking about it … maybe its best to size up or down, or try something else entirely. Feeling a bit unsure about something because this is a little outside of your comfort zone is normal, but don’t push yourself so far that you cant get out of your head about it. A good outfit is made to fit you not the other way around. Outfits should hug your shape, fit well, enhance your beauty, and make you feel like a bad bitch.

Boudoir photography Tips for Mid size to Plus Size Women | top rated boudoir photographer Phoenix, Scottsdale, Arizona

Are you a mid size or plus size woman thinking of doing a boudoir shoot? Wondering if you should lose weight before before you book a Scottsdale boudoir session. How can I look sexy in boudoir photos as a mid size or plus size woman? Phoenix Arizona top rated boudoir photographer at Bella Jade Boudoir shares her plus size boudoir tips to help you look and feel your best for your boudoir photos.

 

Are you a plus size woman thinking of doing a Scottsdale boudoir shoot? Wondering if you should lose weight before your boudoir session. Are you more of a full figured curvy girl and still a little unsure if you too can look sexy in boudoir photos as a mid size or plus size woman?

I am here to say that —

1) Boudoir is for everyone of every body!

And

2) Whether you choose to shed a couple of pounds or not — you can be sexy in your photos no matter your size.

Honestly, you are in good hands here at Bella Jade Boudoir Studios. I have QUITE a few years of experience shooting plus size boudoir photos, and I know exactly how to photograph you on the day of your shoot to make you look and feel your absolute best!

But there are also some things you can do to allow yourself to feel confident and sexy as well. So I’m sharing some plus size babe tips to help you get more comfortable and prepare for your own mid-size to plus-size boudoir shoot!

 

Trust Your Scottsdale Boudoir Photographer

Plain and simple - you gotta learn to trust me! If I ask you to do something that you’re like… where is she going with this? There is a reason for my madness, I promise! Like I mentioned above, I know how to photograph you. Girl, you think I’m going to just let you not look hot as hell while posing?! I want you to LOVE your end photos, so I am going to go above and beyond to ensure that you look and feel amazing. Again, I have curves for days so I really can understand what you want and the poses that are going to make your body look fire.

Respect Your Curves

If there was one thing I could tell my mid to plus size ladies out there it would be,

“Stop hiding your smokin’ curvy body!”

Seriously! You owe it to your curves to honor them and show them off. The thing is, your curves aren’t going to disappear the day of your shoot so what’s the point in hiding them? Pick out outfits that accentuate your body rather than hide it. BTW, baggy clothes can end up making you look bigger in photos!

Teddies and Bodysuits. It’s a Yes From Me!

If there is one type of lingerie that will flatter your figure while making you feel comfortable, it is one-pieces like teddies and bodysuits. Invest in some high-quality onesies that hug your body and really give you that pop to your curves while smoothing out your midsection. Because let’s face it, it’s a pain point for a lot of women! So if its concealed you will feel so much better about it.

High-Waisted Panties and Stockings Are Your New Friend.

Again, who doesn’t love it when their muffin top is smoothed out and out of sight? Thanks to high-waisted panties, you can experience it for yourself and see that these bad boys will hug your body in alllll the right places. And please don’t forget the stockings! For us women, cellulite is the bane of our existence. But let’s not worry about something so silly during our fun and amazing shoot. Opt for some good stockings that make your legs look longer and you feel comfortable in, as well. It’s all about comfort, lady!!

Busty Babe = Full Coverage Bra

Full coverage for a boudoir shoot? That seems like two opposite ideas, right? Nope! If you are a fellow busty queen then you will absolutely want to go for some full coverage bras because they really do help add support to keep them in the right place for any pose you’re in.

Listen, as a gifted chested woman myself, you are really going to thank me for telling you to grab some sexy full coverage bras so that you won’t have to adjust the girls every couple of minutes.

Mid Size to Plus Size Boudoir Photography Poses and Outfit Ideas For Sexy Photos


And there you have it! My boudoir tips for mid to plus sized women are here for you to use in your next shoot so that you feel comfortable and look your sexiest. As women, we’re prone to think because we have thick thighs or wide hips (whatever it is you’re all tied up about) that we can’t be sexy or that we shouldn’t do things like boudoir shoots. Naaah.

Let’s throw that narrative out the window and let in the confident, sexy inner babe that you are! You deserve a boudoir shoot no matter what size or shape you are!

So whether you got a Kim K booty or a chest that can pop buttons off nice blouses, you can do boudoir too and feel amazing while doing it!

What If I See My Boudoir Photos and Don’t Love Them? | 5 Things You Can Do to Get Out of Your Own Head

What if I see my boudoir photos and don’t love them?

Since so many women have struggled with body image or self worth at some point in their lives I NEVER want to dismiss this question. If you are someone that is currently dealing with negative body image or discouraging thoughts about how you look or might look in your photos, this question is valid.

Not every experience is going to be the same. Honestly, self love is a journey not a destination and we’re all moving through it at a different pace.

One of the most rewarding things about being a boudoir photographer is the opportunity to make a positive impact on how women see themselves. I get to encourage women to feel more comfortable in their own skin, celebrate their bodies, and learn to love themselves unconditionally.

You don’t have to embrace every single flaw…

in order to love yourself more.

Whether these women come into their boudoir photo shoot a little nervous and unsure, or they walk right in feeling confident, ready to stand fully in their body and unleash their sexy — I am honored to be a part of their experience and create something beautiful together.

Not surprisingly though, there is a less spoken part of boudoir and its one that might make boudoir photographers a little bit uncomfortable themselves. But for me, I think it has a place here to be addressed. In fact, you might be asking it for yourself …

What if I see my boudoir photos and don’t love them?

Since so many women have struggled with body image or self worth at some point in their lives I NEVER want to dismiss this question. If you are someone that is currently dealing with negative body image or discouraging thoughts about how you look or might look in your photos, this question is valid.

Not every experience is going to be the same.

Why? Because self love is a journey not a destination and we’re all moving through it at a different pace.

Do I think you are going to come in and hate your boudoir photos? Well, no of course not.

I stand confidently behind my work, our studios approach to boudoir photography, and the belief that boudoir can be truly empowering. I MEAN THAT and want you to know that you are in good hands here at Bella Jade Boudoir.

But I also believe …

that it is equally as important to acknowledge — boudoir is not a one size fits all “happy pill” that is going to instantly undo years of internalized thoughts, or erase every bad thing that you’ve ever said or thought about your body.

What it CAN do is ease the pressure to be perfect before you can be present.

It can give you room to show up, be yourself, and figure out how to feel ok about your body regardless of any insecurities, imperfections, or limiting beliefs.

It creates a safe space for you to express yourself, and furthermore explore the relationship you have with body.

A space that is cared for by other women who want nothing more than to see you recognize your beauty and feel more confident in your own skin!

If there is anything that I want you to take away from this its that …

You don’t have to embrace every single flaw in order to love yourself more.

Accept that they are there,

and realize that you are incredibly powerful, beautiful,

& equally deserving of self love with or without them.

If you happen to be one of those women & are asking yourself …

“What If I hate my photos”

here are Here are 5 things you can do (leading up to your shoot/Viewing) to help Get Out of Your Own Head:

  1. Challenge yourself to focus on the GOOD.

    Like, your courage to try something new. Your ability to stand fully in your truth despite your fears. (example given — the mere fact that you care enough about yourself to have clicked on this blog, booked the shoot, hired the therapist, wrote the journal, picked up the book, whatever it is etc.)

  2. Recognize that you are human.


    You will never be completely void of your inner critic. Hear her, but don’t let her paralyze you. your value is not determined by your weakest thought.

  3. Be mindful of how you internalize what other people think/say of you.

    When you receive criticism from others, take the time to evaluate whether it is constructive or destructive and file it accordingly! Hold space only for things that fuel you, help you grow, and serve you and others in positive ways.

  4. Release yourself from unrealistic expectations.

    Whether it be your weight, your confidence level before or after your shoot, the way you fit or don’t fit into the latest beauty trends/ideals … Remember, These things are constantly evolving and so are you! Set realistic goals, and be flexible in your approach. Again, we are all different and interpret or experience things in different ways.

  5. Be gentle with yourself and cultivate kindness.

    Reclaim your power by giving yourself permission to fail, treating yourself with compassion, trusting the process, and speaking to yourself in ways that motivate and inspire rather than shame and diminish.

“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.”
— - Sophia Bush

Favorite Fall Outfit Ideas for A Boudoir Photoshoot | Boudoir Photography in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Gilbert, Queen Creek AZ

So, what should you wear for a fall inspired boudoir shoot?

I am sharing my personal fave Fall boudoir outfit ideas that you’re going to fall in love with right now (pun intended).

It’s cooling down in Phoenix, everything is suddenly pumpkin spiced, its spooky season, and you’re having quiet conversations with your closet on whether or not it’s time to tuck away the swim suits & flip flops and swap them for flannels & ankle boots.

Thats right it’s Fall Yall!

Whether you are a procrastinator just now booking your fall photoshoots (not judging, I swear, I know that life can be hectic sometimes) or a planner getting ready to shock him with the ultimate Christmas gift — BOUDOIR! … You may be asking yourself, “what should I even wear for something like this”.

And, while today isn’t technically the first day of fall it finally feels like it. Temp high in Phoenix Arizona today is 67 degrees and this Michigan girl living in Gilbert, AZ is ready to talk sweater weather — regardless if the leaves here have changed or not!

So, what should you wear for a fall inspired boudoir shoot?

I am sharing my two personal fave Fall boudoir outfit ideas that you’re going to fall in love with right now (pun intended).

Starting with you guessed it cozy sweaters!


The Cozy Autumn Sweater

Nothing says its Autumn than a cozy sweater. Consider this the something comfy to your fall boudoir wardrobe. Its comfortable, flirty, and when styled right incredibly sexy!

Quick Tips for How to style It:

Light weight sweaters that are a bit oversized work best. (Not too bulky but still form fitting)

Remember sweaters can get a bit toasty — a light and soft material is ideal. NO WOOL. You can thank me later ;)

Business in the front party in the back sweaters are the BEST for your fall boudoir wardrobe. (think — plunging backs, V backs, or backs that are twisted/knotted)

V neck sweaters are great if you’d like a little cleavage, want to show off your collar bones or have a chest tattoo!

Wear it over the shoulder so that your bra strap peaks through for a more flirty feel.

20210124_0788thebellajadecollection.jpg

Spice things up …

Layer in full glam lingerie - garter belt, stockings, and stilettos!


Shop this look:

Weekend Pretty Back Sweatshirt @ Aerie
Simple Lace Garter Belt @ Belle Lacet
Amazon.com : knotted back sweater



The Football Jersey

It’s football season! And, even if you’re not an avid football fan, this outfit idea is so much fun for Fall especially if this is also a gift for him! Grab a tailgate t-shirt or snag his favorite Football jersey then add it to your boudoir wardrobe as your something themed! You wont regret this one!


Quick Tips for How to style It:

Jerseys in general are boxy — tie a knot in the front or back to make it more form fitting.

Opting for the tailgate t-shirt? Cropped tailgate t-shirts are great for showing a little bit more skin than a Jersey can.

Not ready to bare it all? A classic t-shirt look can be much more forgiving and super sexy when paired with cheeky panties.

20210107_bellajadeboudoir_0138thebellajadecollection.jpg

Spice things up …

Throw it on top of your body like a sheet for an implied nude look.

more Fall Boudoir Ideas you might want to consider:

In short, we give our clients the option to have their very own boudoir photos remain private, because it just feels right.

These are photos we are taking, it’s our studios artistic vision, time, and copyright but ultimately this is your body, and we entirely understand if doing a boudoir session in privacy and confidence is important to you.

As soon as you book a shoot with us you are sent a boudoir photography agreement which includes more information on how we use your photos as well as the option to select which level of privacy is right for you.

Some women choose to allow us to use all of their images at our discretion,
some choose to allow only images that don’t show your face,
or even opt to select which images specifically are ok for use.

And while we’d love to use them all — we have plenty of women who ask that we do not share any of their image at all. Thats totally ok, too.

The choice is yours and Bella Jade Boudoir will always respect your right to privacy.

Here is an example of how we may share your boudoir photos anonymously (“only images that do not show my face”)

8. You’re feeling spontaneous.

Some of my favorite clients are those who booked their session on a total whim! You only live once and you DONT NEED A REASON. Who knows you might discover something new and exciting about yourself

12. Your inner critic told you not to.

Probably the BEST REASON EVER!!! Talk back to your ego and refuse to be held back by limiting beliefs and negative voices telling you that you aren’t good enough. You can’t do something is an opinion NOT a fact.

13. You are done hating your body.

You’ve hated your body for far too long and you don’t deserve that. Liberate yourself from unrealistic beauty standards and take the next step toward learning to love your self unconditionally.


14. You want to SPICE UP your marriage or sex life.

Just wait until he sees these! Ok — disclaimer, boudoir can’t fix a marriage but physical and emotional intimacy can play a huge part in building and maintaining healthy relationships.


15. You are in the best shape of you’re life.

This ones tricky, because I cant even tell you how many women years after their boudoir session said “I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. I didn’t even realize how good I looked because I was too fixated on perfection” If you’ve reached a fitness milestone JUST DO IT! You’re future self will thank you.

16. You got a new tattoo.

Tattoos are often on the list of what do you want to highlight in your images. And it’s easy to see why. If you love your tattoos its especially fun to come back for more images as you get more and more artwork done!

Whether you are a new mom or a seasoned mom carve out some YOU time to relax, have fun, and take a break from packing lunches, changing diapers, cleaning up, and mediating meltdowns (mom life). For real, You EARNED it momma!

18. You are now an empty nester.

You’re kids are grown and doing what grown folks do. Now YOU get to have all of the fun! DO THE SHOOT!

19. Your going through a low season.

Re-charge and do something that will remind you just how amazing and capable you really are. You are resilient, a queen, a bad ass b**** and YOU’VE GOT THIS!

20. You are worthy af.
