7 quick tips For Choosing the right lingerie

Lingerie should not feel 'comfy'. You're not buying sweat pants, unfortunately. 

If your lingerie isn't tight to your skin, it can create gathering during certain poses by folding and wrinkling. I do not recommend baby doll lingerie. A lot of women like it because it hides your stomach, but I promise, bodysuits and high waist undies do it better. Baby doll lingerie can add unwanted shaping in photos.

Try This: Pull 2 sizes. One you think you would normally wear and the next size smaller. Take a quick selfie in the mirror and compare the two swiping back and forth. Choose the more fitted one!

Darker skin tones look good in lighter colors and paler skin tones look good in darker colors. It creates contrast in your photos. Not to say the opposite because black looks good on everyone, but pay attention when trying on outfits. If white or blush pink washes you out, don't buy it. 

Try This: If you're unsure, bring a good variety to your shoot. Keep the tags on and return what you don't wear. I will help you choose the best pieces for your session!

Stick to neutral toned pieces for your photos: black, cream, white. This will keep the focus in your photos on your face and body and they'll be sure to mesh well with the setting for your shoot. Bright colors photograph well in our concrete studio, however, neon won't photograph as intense as it appears in person. Dark colors such as deep red, navy, emerald green photograph well. 

Try This: Bring a light piece, dark piece, and a colored piece to your shoot to create a bigger variety in your images. 

Boudoir is all about embracing and loving your whole self so why choose pieces that cover you up? Your photos will remain private unless you give signed permission, allowing them to be shared, so there's no reason to feel shy about how much skin you're showing. You leave only with the photos you love so if you end up disliking any photos, you don't have to ever see them again. Client's favorite images are always the implied nudes. 

Try This: Bring at least ONE thong whether it's a 2 piece set or a bodysuit with a thong. Trust me. I can make any booty look amazing.

Bodysuits with high cut thighs make your legs look longer and your booty look rounder. Undies can simply be pulled up at an angle to create this effect. Cheeky panties always make the booty look rounder. Boyshort cuts create the opposite effect.

Try This: Check to see if the bottom sides of the bodysuit lays on your waist. If it lays on your hips, that is a lower cut and won't have the same effect.

Photos with an oversized sweater or t-shirt with basic undies and thigh high socks is a super cute look! It can start out the shoot in an easy way because you're more covered and comfortable. It also tells a good story to your photos starting out in an 'everyday outfit' and ending up naked in the sheets ha! Sheet photos are obvs not required, but they're always everyones favs!

I love a good booty cut-out and lots of straps. Pieces like this will make your photos extra spicy and create even more visual interest.
