Our preferred form of Boudoir photography incorporates ALL of what you WILL LOVE and NONE of what you won’t.

You don’t have wear or pose in anything that makes you uncomfortable!
Your session will have:

Classic Hollywood style
Simple silhouettes with artful shadows
Rest assured that you will also have a wardrobe consult before your session, during which you have a personalized one-on-one wardrobe planning session with Kelly Weaver! Use the following tips when planning what to wear for your boudoir photoshoot as a guideline. If you have a piece that you love but don’t see it on the list, be sure to bring it along!
What to Wear for Your Boudoir Shoot:
- A black Body Suit, bustier or cami (avoid wearing patterns or an all-white top). Consider a color that brings out your skin/eye color.
- Off the shoulder sweater or sweatshirt with a tank or cami underneath.
- Long, dark colored dress with some skin showing (through sleeves or open-slit bottom)
- Bralette or bustier
- Mens button up shirt

Keep colors simple!
When deciding on color, remember to keep it simple! We want the focus of the images to be on you and your best features. Think about what colors will allow for the most dramatic contrast against your skin tone and especially for black and white images! When it comes to color, think:
- Black
- Dark
- Blue
- Gray
- Chocolate Brown
- Cream
- Shades of light and dark
We love a good textured piece!
If you are still deciding what to wear for your boudoir photoshoot, keep that in mind! Have a favorite lacy top? Bring it! That jacket you love that’s covered in sequence and needs an excuse to be worn, perfect! One of the key elements that define our classy boudoir sessions is how Kelly Weaver uses light as an art form. Using it to highlight and define key elements adds the perfect elements of storytelling and mystery to your images. So when selecting pieces with texture, think:
- Lacy tops
- Suede jacket
- Peek-a-boo tops
- Sequined tops
Underwear:
- Wear what you love or keep it simple with beige colored briefs
Shoes:
- Bring one to two pairs that you love. The focus is never on your feet, so don’t get caught up on which to choose! Wear no shoes if you prefer!
Accessories:
There’s nothing like a good accessory! Please bring any fun hats or scarfs or your favorite jewelry! These images will be telling YOUR story so let your personality shine! When thinking about accessories, choose from:
- Jackets
- Fun bling jewelry (don’t forget the bangles/bracelets)
- Hat
- Scarf
