You're not a lingerie gal? I get that!
Let's get PLAYFUL in your boudoir session!
Maybe you want photos of yourself with no lingerie, because it's simply not you! Or maybe you want to mix it up.... variety is the spice of life after all!
This boudoir blog gives you some sexy ideas for alternatives to traditional lingerie!
Don't think you need thigh-high stalkings and a corset top to be sexy! There are many ways to curate sexy photos! We want your photo shoot to be you! It's great to step out of your comfort zone, but let's talk about some fun options that may suit you!

Sprinkle in items that are uniquely you (or unique to your relationship.)
I love it when someone brings special items to their boudoir session, It could be jewelry, a book, or anything special to them and/or their partner to make is unique to their experience in life! Heck, I've had women bring sports a jersey and/or a ball, a video game controller, or a book! Let's get creative!
Whatever reflects something special to you and your bond with your partner or yourself! It's time to enjoy who you truly are at the core and embrace that beautiful wide of yourself!

Wear something that belongs to your partner
If you're choosing to give your boudoir photos as a gift to someone special (lucky him!) It's always a fun option to bring something to your session that is special to them. A shirt.... whether it's a shirt he may have seen you in after a romp in bed (think an oversized tee) or a button-up style work shirt... that can be a very sexy touch that makes his imagination run wild!
robes, dresses & heels... oh, my!
Some women simply don't want to do lingerie! Thats ok! You've got some cute black panties, right? Bring it! A silky robe is SO fun for posing and also leaving just enough to the imagination.
Are you an athlete? bring some skimpy shorts and your running shoes and I can help you steam that up!!
Do you have a dress or outfit you just feel sexy in... even if you're not sure why or where you'd ever even wear it... BRING IT! I promise you I can help you BRING IT on camera and the photos will SMOLDER! (think sexting on FIRE!)
When you FEEL sexy you ARE sexy!

Unique boudoir outfit ideas at a glance:
An oversized sweater with a cute pair of panties and heels! It's so cute and cozy and gives the "this is just how I hang around the house" vibe.
A silky robe, playful, modest, and sexy!
His jersey or your favorite team's jersey
A white tee & underwear you feel good in (no bra needed! ;) )
Jewelry (costume jewelry or special jewelry is all great!)
slinky silky dress that hugs your curves
Your wedding veil or hairpiece

His favorite tie with a pair of underwear and a garter belt
short shorts (silky or lacy PJs or sexy Daisy Duke denim)
Overalls (with nothing underneath)
an apron (again, nothing underneath
a short skirt and a thong
a swimsuit
Get playful! Bring it along to your session and I will help you map out a plan!
Let's talk boudoir session accessories & props:
At my boudoir sessions in SWFL, there is one thing that is a must! A hot pair of heels! Even if you don't typically wear them, they do make your legs look longer and your booty a little higher... High heels are just plain sexy! (I promise, you won't be doing much walking!)
I've already mentioned jewelry for your boudoir shoot, but here are a few more unconventional but delightfully fun, playful, and sexy props you can bring! They help to give us a larger variety of poses and make the photos even more uniquely you for your sexy photo shoot!

Here are a few ideas for playful boudoir props:
Something to represent you or your partner's favorite sport (a ball, club, etc)
A hat (ballcap, firefighter helmet, service members hat, captain's hat, etc.) pro tip: you don't have to wear it on your head!
your favorite beverage or wine bottle that is special to you
fruit like grapes or strawberries on a platter or just to hold
lipstick to seductively put on in the mirror
glasses
a book
These are just a few ideas, feel free to get as creative or playful as you want! There is never any pressure to bring anything extra to your session if you don't want to! This is your special, unique boudoir photoshoot! Let's showcase your beauty in a way that is uniquely you!
