Welcome
Hello and nice to meet you! You have just downloaded a very
exciting guide that will take you through 25 different boudoir outfit
ideas for your experience.
The beautiful thing about boudoir is there is no proper outfit.
There is no perfect image, and it is not for a specific type of person.
You can wear anything from a wedding veil to a white bedsheet.
This guide will give you some inspiration.
Bonus: I’ve put a few of my favorite shopping spots for lingerie at
the end. You DEFINITELY want to check these out.
And if you have any questions at all shoot me an email at michael@

1. Boots
Boots are like the sexy step sister to heels. So fun, so playful. It can
be a sexy pose to be pulling them on ready for a night out. You can
wear them with a dress or with lingerie.
2. Bridal
Congrats on your wedding! A lot of people think bridal boudoir
pictures means your veil is the focal point. Not true. There are so
many different white pieces you can wear to get the bridal look
without any of the cheese.
3. Garter
The garter is the perfect accessory to match with your bridal
lingerie. They are going to be slipping it off with their teeth come
wedding day so it is a playfun hint at what is to come.
4. Button Up Shirt
This is one of my favorites! It is so versitle. The button up shirt
look has a feel of waking up late on a sunday and tossing on a
favorite shirt of your partner’s. It can be tame all the way buttoned
up or spicy pulling it open, taking it off, or letting it lay so it just
barely covers you.
5. Cocktail Dress
I love to start photoshoots in a cocktail dress because it can tell a story
of the first part of the date. When the page turns and you are unzipping
or sliding it off it is a beautiful suggest for what we can expect in the
next few pages! It is also a great to ease into the shoot if the idea of
shooting in lingerie still intimidates you (which it does for most!)
6. Corset
What every happened to corsets? I get it, you can’t breathe
in them, but WOW do they look amazing in photos. They are
incredible flattering on every body type and give off a subtle role
play vibe that can really add to the mood of your shoot.
7. Crop Top
Some people really love lacy lingerie, some really love casual
fridays and some love both. The crop top can do wonders for your
shape and it is so suggestive. Play around with ones that are loose,
tight, cut out in the back and various lengths. I think you will find
something you really like.
8. Fishnets
These really work for a specific style. It is isn’t for everyone, but
can definitely add some fire to your outfit with the right heels and
garter belt!
9. Garter Belts
Nine out of ten women have no idea how to put these on. This is
pretty similar to groomsmen trying to put on a tie at their friends
wedding. When garter belts are paired with stockings and heels
they can add a few inches to your legs.
10. Heels
A classic. Heels do so many things. They make your legs look
longer, tone up your calves, help your posture, and add an extra
layer of sex appeal to almost any lingerie outfit. Even if casual is
your thing I still recommend bringing at least one pair.
11. Halter Bra
These usually come with a beautiful pattern all the way up to your
neck line. This is perfect if you are looking for something more
modest.
12. High Waisted
Everything old is new again. High waisted bottoms were popular
back in the 70’s. They look SO amazing in pictures. They have a
way of slimming the stomach and the cheekie bottoms create an
amazing curve on your bum to really highlight your assets.
13. Jeans
Jeans are another one of those more everyday outfits that you can
make sexy and suggestive by unzipping them in a photo or doing
a picture with only the pants and no shirt on. Jeans can give a girl
next door character that is super playful.
14. Jersey
Let’s get real for a second. Jersey’s are designed be worn over pads
and large men and nothing about them will flatter your curves. If
you HAVE to wear a jersey during your shoot, get a fitted t-shirt
with the teams logo. This will fit better and be much sexier.
15. Patterns
I’m all about sexy black lingerie, but sometimes it can be fun
to throw a pattern into the mix. Not all patterns look great, so
definitely bring a few options so we can make sure to photograph
one that will look amazing.
16. Robes
It can be hard to style an outfit that isn’t just a bra and panties.
Robes can give the idea of lounging around the house, they can be
playful to slip off or can even be worn without a bra undreath to
add something to the imagination.
17. Stockings
Stockings, heels, garterbelt... they all add up to the same thing. I try to
do at least one outfit every session that is dressed to the 9’s. Feel free to
get something outside of the standard black. Get something with a tiny
pattern in it or something with a design over the thigh. Be careful not to
get a size too small. This will squeeze in your thighs and they will have a
harder time staying up.
18. Off The Shoulder Sweater
This is what we most commonly start off shoots with because it is
playful, it gives your hands something to do, it is suggestive and
there is something about pulling clothes in all different directions
that is so sexy.
19. One Piece Teddy
We have arrived at my absolute favorite lingerie to photograph.
Sometimes called a body suit, I think these are the most underratted
lingerie there is. It is incredibly flattering on all body types. There are
a million different designs for how it covers you and it is more versital
than you would think. I have so many favorite examples I couldn’t fit
them all on one page!
20. Themed
This is definitely a less common outfit because the line between
playful and trashy is extremely thin. If you have an idea let me
know, but most of the time the pictures will be much better with
the other options I’ve laid out in this guide.
21. T-Shirt
This is another casual option to start off your shoot with. There
are a million poses you can do with a t-shirt a shot of you taking
it off makes the perfect transition to show the next outfit on the
following page of your album.
22. White Sheet
This is such a favorite of so many women beacuse it is the ultimate
“leave a little to the imagination.” You can appear completely naked
while revelaing less than most pictures in typical lingerie. The
white sheet is usually the final “outfit” and it ends the album with a
bang.
23. Glasses
Glasses are a fun little accessory. Nerds are sexy and it can be a
fun character to jump into for a few pictures.
24. Ponytails
I love long waivy hair, but I also think that a woman’s neck, the
jawline is beautiful. Putting your hair in a ponytail exposes that and
give you a completely different look for a few pictures during your
session.
25. Jewelry
I believe that you are the most important thing in these pictures,
and too many accessories can be a distraction which is why not
many of the images you’ve seen are littered with over exaggerated
jewelry. That said a few peices here and there can really bring an
outfit together. Feel free to bring necklaces, bracelets or body
jewelry you think would add to your photos!
