August update, plus VOTE on the creative themes for our 2024 Special Edition Boudoir sessions!

Here’s a 30 second read to see what’s going on with OWN boudoir right now! The biggest thing we’d love your help with is the selection of the creative themes for our 2024 Special Edition shoots. If you’re new here then let me explain what those are!

Each year, we have four weekends where we dedicate that particular weekend to a creative theme and create incredible boudoir images surrounding that theme. These creative boudoir sessions are typically shorter; you might even call them 'mini' sessions in a past life. It's a great way to do something completely out of the box without having to book one of our standard boudoir experiences. Hair and makeup are always included, so you know you'll be able to perfectly match the theme you chose.

Happy reading!

  1. New 2024 Boudoir Themed Shoots!- Our 2024 Special Edition boudoir sessions will be announced in September! Booking for past clients begins in October, and all new clients will be able to book on Black Friday

  2. Speaking of our themed shoots: This year we’d love to hear from YOU on the themes you’d like to see the most, or even write in your own idea! VOTE HERE!

  3. Remember that personal project I mentioned a few months ago? We’re almost ready to start scheduling those of you that wants to participate! This project’s purpose is to show the everyday sensuality that exists beneath the ‘uniforms’ we wear in our everyday lives as women. It will NOT require nudity or overly revealing lingerie. 

  4. We’re ramping up a new side of the business: headshots, personal branding, and dating profile images have been really popular lately and I’m excited to continue to expand this! If you need a great profile pic, I know a gal that can make sure your face doesn’t look weird ;) If you’d like more information on booking one of these shoots, get in touch here!

  5. Current obsession: fantasy smut books. I’m deep in the rabbit hole of A Court of Thorns and roses (and its companions), so please send any book recommendations that carry similar themes and steamy scenes. 

Here are 5 boudoir session wardrobe ideas that will add variety to your session

Variety is key when it comes to a successful boudoir photoshoot. We definitely don’t want your image collection to look like a catalog of black lace lingerie.

By incorporating a variety of wardrobe options, poses, and settings, you can create a diverse range of photos that showcase different sides of your personality and style. This can include playful and fun shots, romantic and sensual images, and more daring and adventurous poses. Having a variety of options can also help you feel more comfortable and confident during the boudoir shoot, allowing you to fully embrace the experience and capture images that truly reflect who you are. So, don't be afraid to mix things up and try new things to create a dynamic and unforgettable boudoir photoshoot. If you’re having trouble searching for a little variety then don’t worry: we have a WHOLE collection of robes, leather, lace, body jewelry, etc at our Marietta based studio! If you’re shooting on location somewhere in Atlanta then we can always bring a few of our options to you!

Here are my top 5 tips for incorporating a little variety into your boudoir session:

  1. Incorporate Sheer Fabrics: Incorporate sheer fabrics into your boudoir wardrobe to add a touch of sexiness to your photoshoot. You can choose from sheer robes, teddies, or even a sheer blouse paired with a lacy bra.

  2. Opt for Bodysuits: Bodysuits are versatile and can be found in various styles, including sheer, lace, or even leather. These can be paired with stockings, garters, and high heels to create a seductive look. Here is my go-to bodysuit that looks good on everyone! And here is a similar bodysuit that has more inclusive sizing for curvier figures!

  3. Try a Slip Dress: A slip dress can create a sensual and feminine look for your boudoir session. You can choose a silky, lace-trimmed slip dress or one with a low-cut neckline. I LOVE this slip dress, and is has a bonus feature of being a little stretchy :)

  4. Play with Accessories: Accessories can add a unique touch to your boudoir session wardrobe. You can add a statement necklace or earrings, a fur stole, or even a pair of handcuffs. Heyoooooooo ;)

  5. Go Bold with Colors: Remember earlier when I said that I didn’t want you to look like a catalog of black lace lingerie? Well COLOR is the definitive way to get around that issue. Don't be afraid to go bold with your color choices for your boudoir wardrobe. You can try a bright red or deep purple lingerie set to create a bold and sexy look. I also love the idea of a bright blazer or robe to go over the inevitable black lace set ;) I promise color is so fun, and if you’re iffy about it then just bring it in to our studio and we can see how it looks!

All of our boudoir sessions include a complimentary wardrobe styling appointment. Helping you every step of the way is our ultimate goal! You can book a consultation with us (virtually or at our Marietta based studio) right here!
