Things in your closet you may not have known were sexy enough for your boudoir session2021-11-05_0005.jpg

So you’ve got a boudoir session coming up, and you’re trying to figure out what you want to wear. Sure, lingerie and a cute matching bra and panty set are probably a given, but you want something more, something different.

Well, look no further. Here’s a short and sweet list of some things you probably already have in your closet that will make your boudoir session stand out.

A Cardigan

Who doesn’t love a nice cardigan? Especially on those chilly days, cardigans give us an adorable extra layer that doesn’t feel like a coat, and allows us to show off our cute outfits since it’s open in the front. They’re also SUPER sexy to wear in boudoir sessions. Modest and revealing at the same time, a cardigan is a great way to convey being cold and oh so hot at the same time.

A Button-down Shirt

Button-down shirts look nice and professional in certain situations, but they can look so provocative when you leave a few buttons undone. Pair it with a pair of knee-high socks and a cheeky panty (you won’t be able to see them anyway if the shirt is long enough, just adding a bit of mystery) and you have an outfit that will leave anyone speechless. If you have a partner you plan on sharing your images with, use one of their button-downs so that every time they wear that shirt, they think of you in it.

Jerseys

Some people aren’t a fan of sports, and that’s totally fine. Some people, however, eat, sleep, and breathe their game. Getting a little sexy lounge time in your favorite jersey (or your partner’s) makes for some great images that will appeal to all the admirers of that team.

Leather Jackets

A leather jacket, you say? YES PLEASE. There’s something so inherently racy about a leather jacket; maybe it’s the decades of being associated with the “bad boys” in society. Maybe I just love them because of some nostalgic crush on characters from an 80s vampire movie. Who can really say? Either way, bring the heat with that leather jacket you don’t wear nearly enough.

Jeans

Finally, I present to you the last of the 5 suggestions I have for today: jeans. Jeans for a boudoir session? Absolutely! Keep a little coverage while still being super sexy, and even open up that top button to allude to what’s underneath, and you have yourself a super seductive look that will leave you feeling like a total goddess.

Choosing the lingerie or outfits for your boudoir session can seem like a bit of a daunting task. What places have the things you’re looking for? Is the sizing accurate? Do the items look as good on real bodies as they do on mannequins in store windows or online listings?

I’ve got some good news: I’ve done all of the heavy lifting for you and compiled a list of some of my favorite places to shop that I have actually tried (you’ll find these names on quite a few of the Client Closet pieces). But first, let’s get into how to choose your outfits for your session.2021-10-12_0007.jpg

Tips For Choosing Your Outfits

2021-10-12_0001.jpg

1. Wear what makes you feel sexy. Boudoir sessions are all about bringing your sexy side, so if you put something on and you feel uncomfortable, move on to the next option. Consider it sort of like searching for the perfect wedding dress. When you put it on and can’t help but spin in front of the mirror or think, “Heck yes, I’m sexy!” then that is the piece you should wear on shoot day.

2. Consider what you’re planning on doing with your images. If you’re planning on gifting them to a partner, pick things they like and incorporate some of their favorites, like a favorite color, panties paired with a jersey from the sports team they follow or a shirt you got them at your first concert together. The opportunities are endless!

3. Pick items that flatter your favorite parts. If you want to show off your gorgeous decollotage, then choose something that really shows off those girls. Maybe you’re a fan of your own derriere and want to show off the goods. Choose at least one piece that accentuates whatever features you love most about yourself.

4. Choose items that are just the right size for you. You don’t want loose lingerie that gives your body no shape or hides your beautiful curves. On the other hand, lingerie that is too tight can be unflattering and uncomfortable.

5. Above all, you want your outfits and your lingerie to do one thing: make you feel like a rockstar. You want whatever it is you select to bring the HEAT, so don’t be afraid to go a little out of your comfort zone and try the things you normally wouldn’t. You just might surprise yourself!

The Client Closet

One of the greatest things about the Client Closet (and yes, you can still choose to use that, too!) is there are pieces in all sizes, colors, and styles, and it gives you a chance to try on the things you love, and the things you’ve never thought about before. Some of the favorite items previous clients have worn were things they fully admitted they would NEVER have tried before I suggested it!

P.S. – Every outfit featured in the images on this page are from the Client Closet 😉 

Now that you have an idea on how to shop (feel free to reach out if you’re unsure of course!) here’s a list of some of my favorite places to buy lingerie:

2021-10-12_0003.jpg

Shein.com is great for some seriously cheap and under-rated pieces. The quality is surprisingly good for as cheap as it is, and they have sizes all the way up to 5XL! The downside is, occasionally things are definitely cheap in every sense of the word, not just in price, and their sizing is inconsistent. Shipping times are also a bit longer, so only order here if you have about 4 weeks or more to wait before your session.

AdoreMe.com has some really great stuff that looks fabulous, as a price that’s definitely more palatable than some places. Shipping times are also a bit faster than Shein, but, as with most online places, sizing can be a bit off. I highly recommend ordering anything early enough that it can be exchanged for the proper sizing if it doesn’t look and feel fabulous.

Torrid.com is my absolute favorite place to shop for lingerie that has some amazing size-inclusive options. They have a great range of prints in their bra and panties, as well as an amazing selection of lingerie. The big bonus is they have store fronts that are usually close enough to exchange online orders, or to just get things in person. The downside is they only carry sizes 10 to 30.

Here are some other great places to shop, as well:

Yandy.com

Victoria’s Secret

Savage X

Honey Birdette

2021-10-12_0004.jpg

These are just some of my favorites, but there are many great places to shop.  Even Amazon will have lingerie that looks beautiful!

As always, don’t hesitate to reach out and chat with me. I’m constantly on the lookout for lingerie, so odds are I’ve got an idea of where you can find exactly what you’re looking for!

It's perfectly normal to be nervous before your boudoir session.

Everyone gets those butterflies when they book their session.  If you’ve never had a boudoir session before, you might even be wondering if there’s anything you could or should do to help your session go smoothly.  That’s why I’ve compiled this list of tips to help you get the most out of your session!

1. When in doubt, get your hair and makeup done. 

If you’re unsure of how you want to do your hair and makeup, or if you aren’t comfortable doing your own hair and makeup, bring in a professional.  Luckily for you, I have partnered up with a local hair and makeup artist who can do your hair and makeup so you don’t even have to worry about finding a professional!  Also, keep in mind not everyone wants their hair and makeup done, and that’s okay, too.  The goal of your images is to capture you, and if that means hair and makeup isn’t your thing, then don’t sweat it!

2. Take the time for self-care.  

Get the mani-pedi you’ve been thinking about.  Get your wax in if you want one.  Get that tan you’ve been considering (but make sure it’s at least 2 weeks BEFORE your session so you don’t have tan lines or sun burns!)

A few days before your session, reduce your salt intake to avoid bloating and eat a light breakfast the morning of your session.  Drink plenty of water for at least a week prior to your session for healthy skin, and get all.the.rest.  Be prepared to do some stretches, because a boudoir session is a workout!  You’ll feel amazing, you’ll look amazing, and you’ll be ready to let that inner goddess out.

3. Pick a wardrobe that you love. 

One of the great things about boudoir is that it doesn’t have to be in lingerie.  A button-down, large sweater, or a tight shirt and booty shorts will also look great!

Whatever you pick to wear, make sure it fits correctly.  Items that are too small can look and feel uncomfortable, and items that are too big (unintentionally) can be unflattering.  

4. Trust your photographer.  

I know a boudoir session is usually pretty far out of most people’s comfort zone.  None of my clients are models.  None of my clients have ever taken any kind of posing classes.  All of my clients are real people.  Trust that I will coach you in poses that help you look and feel your absolute best and that I’m going to do everything in my power to ensure you are in a safe, comfortable environment for you to be vulnerable in.  You hired a professional for a reason!

5. Be confident. 

This is probably the most surprising of all the tips, because it’s the most simple, and because I always tell people: fake it until you make it.  Be confident in your photographer, in your session, and most importantly, in yourself because you are going to rock this session.  If you’re having a hard time feeling confident (most people do!) fake it until you feel confident.  I promise, before your session is over, you’ll feel the confidence find you.

Valentine’s Day is TOMORROW, and if you’re anything like me, getting a gift hasn’t been your top priority.  Life has a funny way of helping you forget the little things.

So, here’s a list of last-minute, out-of-the-box Valentine’s Day gift ideas for that special someone.  The best part is, they’re easy to find!

1.  The Regulars

Chocolates, flowers, and jewelry.  This one isn’t “out-of-the-box” but since they’re the regular choices, I figured they deserve a spot on the list.  They’re probably the most accessible options, and will still be appreciated.  If you want to be different, instead of roses opt for carnations or peonies, or something more exotic, like orchids.  For some of the best chocolates you can find, Hughes Chocolates are local (right here in Oshkosh!) and my absolute favorite.  And for jewelry, diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but rubies and sapphires also sparkle beautifully, and are a little more out-of-the-box.
 

2.  Can’t Beat Homemade

Make your honey something delicious right at home!  Make their favorite meal, or make them something new, like this recipe for strawberry jam palmiers from Midwest Nice. (Bonus: it’s only TWO ingredients!)

3.  Discover Something Local

When it comes to gifts, the best gift you can ever give is the gift of memories.  Make some new ones by discovering a new local treasure together!  The Fox Valley communities are FULL of amazing experiences, and many of them only a couple of minutes drive from any other location in their city.

One of my personal favorites is Timshel in Neenah, WI.  Their coffee is delicious, and their BLT is absolutely the BEST I’ve ever had!  They even have vegetarian options.  They have several seating options, including a bright room with glass above and around to let in a lot of light. If you want to try something different for a Valentine’s Day lunch, Timshel is a great choice.

 

4. Date Night In A Box

This one will probably be a fun time for you to shop for.  Get all of your sweetie’s favorite things and put them together in a box with a movie.  Include their favorite snacks, a new pair of comfy pj’s, a couple of candles, and maybe include dinner. (Or order their favorite take-out.)  You can even spice things up by making a “coupon” book with some of their favorites: a night off from dishes, a foot or back massage, or that special thing they like most behind closed doors 😉 

5. A Boudoir Session

I would be doing you – and myself – a disservice if I didn’t include a boudoir session on this list.  Not only is a boudoir session a great gift, it’s a great experience.  You can choose to have a session for yourself and give the images to your love, or you can buy a session for the love of your life and get to enjoy the images yourself, or you can even do a boudoir session together to celebrate your relationship!

Regardless of your how you choose to have the session, the end results and the experience will be a blast.  (And I can help with the details!  Contact me here to chat.)
