Boudoir Portraits are tasteful photographs of a woman. It is up to the client as to how revealing the photographs will be. Although these portraits are usually done for a woman’s significant other, male clients may also wish to choose this service.
A typical session lasts about sixty minutes.
A Great Gift for that Special Someone!

Please plan on doing your makeup prior to your arrival. Put on makeup as though you are going out for a fancy
evening. This is generally heavier than your usual "look", and will usually appear light and natural under the
studio lighting. Use a bit more foundation than normal, carefully blending it from your face down to your upper
body. If you plan to wear something revealing, you do not want your face to be one color and your upper body
another color.
Eye shadow should be a lighter color rather than darker to bring your eyes forward. Blush and lip color should
be heavier than usual. Blush should be evenly blended and lip color should be a shade darker than usual
avoiding light colors and especially anything that looks frosted.
Avoid overdoing it at the tanning salon prior to a photo session. You may burn or freckles may become more
prominent. Tanning lotions may cause your skin to appear splotchy when makeup is applied.
Most importantly, use enough powder for a matte finish. You should have a solid foundation of powder. This
matte finish is very important to avoid shiny reflections of the lights, called hot spots. You will have an
opportunity to touch it up and make small corrections prior to starting the session.
Wear loose fitting clothing to the session. Tight elastic panties, bras, panty hose, and socks will leave clothing
marks that may show in the photographs. We recommend arriving in clothing like a loose sun-dress, or old
sweats (without tight elastic waist bands).
Bring your own costumes/clothing/lingerie. Bring the tallest heels that you have in a variety of colors (black,
white, and red for example). If you’re not sure what to wear, consider some of the following:
• An apron & high heels • A tux shirt with black studs & black cuff-links
• His uniform or favorite shirt • A tank top that is either too tight, cut-off too much or both
• Cowboy boots & hat • Anything thin, transparent or translucent
• A tux bow-tie • Anything fishnet (tops, stockings etc)
• A body stocking • Sunglasses, scarves, colored beads
• A leather jacket • An off-the-shoulder top
• A vest • Silk boxer shorts
• Lingerie • Halloween costumes
• Stockings • A mini skirt
• A fun wig • Cutoff jeans
• School girl uniform
• Anything unusual or outfits that you would never wear outside
For boudoir portraits, leg openings in panties and other items should be a high cut style (French cut) to make
your legs appear longer and more attractive.
Be sure to bring matching jewelry, shoes, and accessories for any outfits. As with clothing, bring any props
which have special meaning. Examples might include special jewelry received as gifts, sports equipment, or
unusual accessories. If these photographs are for somebody special, think about HIS likes and dislikes and
hobbies for ideas on what to bring.
