Boudoir Clothing What to Bring?
(All photos taken by Eternal Photos, with some editing to modify clothing to match sample descriptions in some instances
The Basics: Lingerie
Lingerie is the standard boudoir option. Either Bra/ Panties set or full body (corset / teddies), they all work well. And always reccommended to bring various pieces. Matched bras and panties work best but even mismatched can be spicy in a shoot. Colors can be pretty much left to the clients choice, but for photos, bold rich colors often jump out better than pastels or neutral beige/browns.






Comfort Clothes
Beyond Lingerie, another popular choice is simple comfort clothing. That large oversized sweater. That cute T[shirt of your favorite band. Although these may not be inherently sexy, if you lose the pants, wear some thigh high stockings you have potential for not just a very sexy look, but one that resonates personnally.


Robe / Jacket
Evening robe, either elegent or comfy, jackets, or front opening sweaters can all be added over lingerie or even a nude body, allowing as much revealed as the client wants. These make for excellent tease shots.


Partner's Clothes
If a client is looking to share the photos with a partner, the option of wearing their partner's clothes is certainly a good choice. Many men love seeing their ladies in their favorite dress shirt for instance. With an open front, either showing the lingerie or hints of skin, this makes for great shots.




Themed Clothes
For a playfull sexy shoot, some themes can be introduced. Unbuttoned Sports Jerseys are a hit, Xmas (or any holiday) always work well, or mixing it with the idea of your spouses clothes, if they have a uniform or work outfit (Chef's apron, coveralls, security vest...) these can really personalize your shoot and make it about you.






Cosplay / Halloween
Taking the Theme idea to an extreme, one can go full Cosplay outfit or Halloween costume. Many of these are vary sexy and teasing oriented and can easily fit in the boudoir vibe. Note: Some costumes / Cosplay outfits do take serious time to prepare. This will cut into shoot time somewhat and is the responsibility of the client to plan accordingly.
Fetish
Fetishwear by it's very nature is very sexy / erotic. Any outfit of this style certainly can be incorporated into a shoot. This style obviously also would be very open to the use of appropriate props. Eternal Photos does have various props for Fetish / Bondage style shoots.




Accessories / Footwear
With any clothing chosen or even for nudes, always consider possible accessories. Hats / scarves / high heels / boots... all can work with various outfits.




Props
Beyond clothing, consider any props that either go with the outfit specifically or just something you may want to add. Favorite Stuffed animal, bottles of wine, a favorite book. All of these are easily added to a shoot. Larger items (Sports Bike, Pool Table, Hot tub) would certainly have to be discussed ahead of time so that appropriate locations are chosen.






Multiple Models
When shooting multiple models together, either a couple or two "friends" just shooting side by side, planned clothing may be more rigid as to ensure the styles / colors work well together. Sample shots and models sharing images of their outfits will be used in such cases.
Imperfect (Torn / size..)
Keep in Mind this is a photoshoot and not a walking runway. Favorite items missing a button and falling open, That piece you wore on your honeymoon that has a small tear in it... These can possibly still be used. For items that dont fit, they can be adjusted with clamps / pins or drapped accordingly for the pose. Small holes can easily be photoshopped. If you have an outfit that really means something, let me know. It can probably be used.
