Here are some tips from local photographer, Jennifer Childress, of Jennifer Childress Photography, on how to take great Boudoir Photos. 

Tips:

• If your boudoir session does not include hair and makeup, it's a good idea to hire a professional. You can even check out the cosmetic counters at department stores for a free makeup application.
• Practice your expressions in the mirror. It will help on the day of the photo shoot. 
• Avoid facials or waxing before the photo session. 
• It's a good idea to wear a robe or something comfortable while you are waiting in between sessions. 
• Avoid wearing tight fitting undergarments as they are the most likely to leave elastic pressure lines on your skin. 
• Fake eyelashes help make your eyes look fabulous!
• Don't spend lots of money on new items. Your photographer will help make what you already have look great.

Ideas on what to wear:

• Cute panties or a bra and panty set can be really sexy. Make sure they fit you well.
• Black and solid color clothing photograph really well. 
• Items from your significant other- ties, hats, button down shirts, sports jerseys.
• Think about pairing a tank top or fitted t-shirt with a cute pair of panties. This can be sexy without being too revealing. 
• Some fun accessories to think about are: long necklaces, pearls, hats, and cowboy boots. Don't forget the most important thing...a sexy pair of heels!
• Think about using props such as pillows or sheets to imply lack of clothing. 

Have fun with your boudoir photos! Not only will they make a great gift for your future hubby but they are a great gift for yourself. They will be a great memory and fun to look back at 30 years from now!
