For me and for many of my clients, the most fun part of planning a boudoir photo session is picking out outfits. Who doesn’t love finding or picking out clothes that make them feel incredible? At my Seattle area photo studio, I have an abundant client closet packed with many different styles and sizes so you don’t actually have to bring any items to your session. But a lot of my clients do enjoy bringing some options of their own too, so here are some ideas for what to bring for your boudoir photo shoot.

When I mention my Seattle area boudoir photography, so many women say some version of, “That sounds amazing, but I’m not confident enough to do that right now,” or, “Maybe I would have done that when I was younger and thinner, but not now.” It’s a common misunderstanding that you should wait until you feel comfortable in your body to do boudoir photography, but it’s actually the opposite - boudoir photography can help you get that confidence you’re looking for. So the real question is, when do you finally go for it and book that session for yourself? There’s never a bad time for boudoir portraits, but there are certain milestones or changes in life that can make a boudoir session especially meaningful, so let’s talk about them.
