Do I Have To Get Naked?
When considering doing a boudoir session for yourself, have you ever wondered. . .
“Do I have to get naked during my boudoir session?”
Ready for the answer? Take a deep breath of relief. . . the answer is no. Youdo not have to get naked for your boudoir session. In fact, you can even do a “boudoir” session fully dressed! We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all philosophy here at The Boudoir Studio. In fact we take great measures to ensure that you are in the driver’s seat of where the creative direction goes for a uniquely personalized session, tailored specifically to YOUR preference!
Once you’re ready for a boudoir session - an experience that is both exhilarating and empowering - you help us determine where we take it based on your reason for doing the session.
Are you doing this as a wedding/anniversary gift for your partner? Are you doing this as a celebration of a major milestone? Are you doing this session to turn the page of a new chapter in your life? Are you doing this session to see yourself from the eyes of someone who loves you romantically? Are you doing this session to shed off the burden of guilt and shame that society has placed on you and to liberate yourself from it all?
Your reason for the session determines your wardrobe or the lack thereof. By the time you are sitting in our studio ready to get hair and makeup started you will already know what outfits you will be wearing. We completely understand the anxiety of, “What should I wear?!” and provide well thought-out guides, consult calls, in person meetings and video chats to help you decide which direction you’d like your session to go.
With all of that being said, if you’re intrigued by the idea of being photographed in the nude yet not comfortable with full exposure, you can be photographed naked without actually revealing anything. . .
Implied Nudity
Let’s explore the range of comfort levels by first addressing implied nudity. Yes. You will have to be naked during your session if you want these photos, or close to it. However, your photos do not need to expose any of your lady bits. (I promise!) Implied nudity is just that. The viewer knows that you are nude but there is so much still left to the imagination. It is just beautiful to see a woman’s curves without a bra strap interrupting the lines of the body.
Implied nudity can be achieved in a number of different ways. A thoughtful placement of bed linen can be both exposing yet leaving some modesty as well. Lighting in the right areas can achieve a bit of mystery. Angles can keep attention on specific areas while downplaying other areas. If you are thinking of having an implied nude look for your boudoir session, communication between you and the photographer is essential to achieve your desired look.
Fully Clothed
Being fully clothed is rarely known as an option in the boudoir photography world. However, here at The Boudoir Studio we want you to know that it is an option and if this is where your comfort level is, that is perfectly fine! Our space is a place where you are free to express who you are and explore who you want to be. If this means your boudoir outfits include a dress instead of a bra and panty set, that is 100% okay! We can totally achieve your desired look and explore your femininity to create incredibly sensual photos.
We understand that lingerie is not for everybody so bring in your favorite dress or a t-shirt and booty shorts for your next boudoir session! You may be surprised how sexy you can look when you are wearing something you feel comfortable and confident in!
