MGP Guide to Boudoir
Hey gorgeous, buckle up because boudoir minis start THIS weekend, I’m sharing this to hopefully help ease your nerves I’m excited for you to to capture your inner and outer confidence in these quick but stunning sessions. Before we jump in, let's talk about wardrobe and poses – the keys to unlocking your boudoir magic in just 10 minutes!
First things first: What to wear?
This is the MOST common question I get. Over the last 4 years of offering these, I have seen a HUGE variety in outfit choices. There is no right or wrong area for these. The ultimate decision is whatever you feel comfortable and confident in - that will be different for every woman. Here’s a few ideas!
1. Lingerie: Lace bralettes, babydolls, silk robes – all the classics are here for a reason! Choose something that makes you feel like a million bucks, whether it's delicate and sweet or sassy and bold. Remember, confidence is the ultimate accessory!
2. Special Shirt: Borrow your man's (or grab a vintage beauty) and let it hang casually open, revealing a peek of your lingerie underneath. It's effortless, sexy, and perfect for that "just woke up like this" vibe. Can be a button down, jersey, special shirt, or an oversized T!
3. Flowy Kimono: Let loose with a sheer kimono or robe! These beauties add a touch of mystery and luxury, and they photograph like a dream as they drape softly around your curves. Bonus points for feathers or delicate embroidery!
4. Bodysuit: Show off your gorgeous shape with a well-fitting bodysuit or teddy. Think lace cutouts, interesting textures, and anything that makes you feel powerful and beautiful in your own skin. Own it, girl!
5. Accessorize with Attitude: Don't forget the finishing touches! Delicate jewelry adds a touch of glamour, playful feathers or boas bring a playful vibe, and a mask can add a touch of intrigue. Let your personality shine through your accessories!
You can wear heels if you want but a lot of people just go barefoot as it’s easier to move around & pose without them. Again, this is all up to you, your vision and whatever you’re comfortable with!
Now, let's talk about poses!
These are a few of my favorite, easy to achieve poses. I will guide you on how to position into these and other ones. If you have any specific pose requests, don’t hesitate to bring those ideas and I’ll help you execute.
1. Lying Down: This classic is a winner for a reason! Relax on your back, arms overhead or by your sides. Play with pillows and blankets to create different shapes and add texture. Trust me, you'll look effortlessly stunning.
2. Sitting Up: Channel your inner boss babe with this pose. Sit up on the bed, legs crossed and confident. It's a great way to show off your curves and adds a playful energy.
3. Lean on Me: Find a wall, a piece of furniture, or even me and lean in for a touch of intimacy. This pose is super flattering and gives your figure a gorgeous elongated look.
4. Playful Perfection: Don't be afraid to let loose and have some fun! Toss your hair, blow a kiss, even laugh – those candid moments are often the most captivating. Remember, it's your boudoir story, so own it!
5. Silhouette Secrets: Add a touch of mystery with the silhouette pose. Stand in front of a window or backlight, letting your figure be outlined against the light. It's simple, chic, and oh-so-memorable.
Remember, my camera captures confidence above all else! So relax, have fun, and let your inner goddess shine! I'm here to guide you and make you feel amazing every step of the way so no worries at all. As always, let me know if you have any questions.
Now go forth and slay your boudoir mini session!
