What to wear: Morgantown West Virginia Boudoir Photographer

I would plan to bring three or four different outfits..... typically this is a mix of lingerie, momentos/items of his (i.e. a dressy man's work button down).   Past clients have also brought silky robes, a uniform shirt of the significant other, physician's lab coat, race medals, and bridal clients have brought their veil, corset or other bridal accessories.

Here’s my advice – pick tasteful pieces that really speak to your style (and if you want to go all out, do it!). Lace is good! Silk is beautiful! There’s no one right way to do this, so don’t try to do what you think you should – do what works for you! If you are modest, choose a strappy tank-top for part of your session- or a sheer shirt.

Think beyond just bra and underwear sets – silk robes, negligees and one of his dressy button down shirts are just a few ideas to consider. Hit Victoria’s Secret, Fredericks and similar stores/online shops to get an idea of what’s out there. Another fantastic source is Etsy.com – do a search for retro lingerie or just lingerie – there are some wonderful things on that site that you won’t find anywhere else.

I’m really happy to share with you that I’ve started collecting accessories and vintage pieces to share with clients for their KOP boudoir sessions. 

Perhaps the most important thing to bring is a sense of who you are. Bring his favorite guitar if you can sneak it out! Bring the necklace he gave you or the reading glasses he says make you look like a sexy librarian. And don’t forget to bring great shoes. Sexy heels, strappy sandals, fun evening shoes. One client even brought the heels she wears daily to work – she said her husband adored them!

And finally…jewelry – the larger and the chunkier the better.   A statement necklace adds a POP to your images!!  (to find a statement necklace, dangly earrings, or the like: go here to view Stella & Dot lookbook.. and go here to read my post about jewelry!)
