What should I wear?
Things to Consider for Your Boudoir Photoshoot, Plus.. The Client Closet.
When it comes to preparing for your boudoir photoshoot, one of the most common questions I hear from clients is, “What should I wear?”
I completely understand how daunting it can be to decide what to put on for a session that’s all about showcasing your unique beauty and confidence. The good news is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer because boudoir is all about you — your personality, your comfort level, and what makes you feel absolutely stunning.
If you’re feeling uncertain, don’t worry! I’m here to guide you through the process and make sure you have boudoir outfits that perfectly captures your essence. Whether you’re a lingerie lover or prefer something more casual, here’s a breakdown of the best clothing options for your boudoir photoshoot, including pieces from my exclusive Client Closet.
Lingerie: Classic and Timeless
Lingerie is, of course, the go-to option for most boudoir sessions. It’s sexy, empowering, and always photographs beautifully. However, you don’t need to go all out with high-end, intricate pieces (unless you want to, of course!). When choosing lingerie, think about what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Lace bodysuits, delicate bras, and panties are great options, as they bring a soft, feminine touch to your photos.
Robes and Silk Pieces: Elegant and Sophisticated
For a softer, more elegant look, robes and silk garments are a wonderful choice. Whether you prefer a classic satin robe or a cozy, oversized knit sweater, these options provide beautiful layers and can add an element of romance to your boudoir session. I have an amazing collection of robes in various fabrics, colors, and lengths, so you’ll have plenty of options to choose from. These garments photograph beautifully and can create a sense of mystery, leaving just enough to the imagination.
Casual Pieces: Comfortable and Playful
Not everyone feels comfortable in traditional lingerie, and that’s perfectly okay! If you’d prefer a more relaxed vibe for your session, you can absolutely go for casual pieces. Think oversized shirts, button-up blouses, or even a simple tank top and jeans. These looks can create a more playful, laid-back atmosphere for your photoshoot while still showing off your personality.
Clients often choose to wear their partner’s clothing, like a button-down shirt or a cozy sweater. This adds a personal touch and makes the session feel even more intimate. A casual outfit can be just as alluring as lingerie!

Personal Touches: Incorporating Meaningful Items
Boudoir is all about expressing yourself, and that can mean wearing something that has special meaning to you. Whether it’s a piece of jewelry that’s important to you, a favorite pair of heels, or an item that holds sentimental value, incorporating personal touches can make your session even more meaningful. Don’t hesitate to bring in those items that make you feel extra special, as they’ll add depth and personality to your photos.
Choosing Outfits that Make You Feel Confident
The most important thing when selecting outfits for your boudoir photoshoot is to choose pieces that make you feel confident and comfortable. Confidence is key to creating stunning boudoir photos, and when you feel good in what you’re wearing, that confidence will shine through!
Consider what makes you feel best. Is it the soft touch of silk? The way lace makes your body feel? The casual ease of your partner’s shirt? Whatever it is, let that guide you. It’s not about fitting into a specific mold — it’s about embracing who you are and showcasing that in front of the camera.
