Preparing for a boudoir session can seem overwhelming, but I have good news. You may just have something in your closet that will be perfect to wear for your session. Although you need to keep in mind that whatever you pick DON’T wear anything that is too small and digs into your skin or creates the dreaded “muffin top.” DO consider normal clothing if you’re nervous about being too revealing, such as off the shoulder tees, cardigans, tank tops, a fitted button-up shirt, or a high slit skirt/dress. In this article we will discuss some ideas of things to wear you may have at home, now if you are reading this and you do not own anything to wear most boudoir studios have a glam closet on site. If you want to go shopping and treat yourself with some gorgeous lingerie you can do that as well, but keep in mind that you do not want it to be fitting you uncomfortable, the discomfort will reflect in your portraits.
