1. Boots
Boots are like the sexy sister to heels. So fun and playful. It can be a sexy pose to be pulling them on ready for a night out. You can wear them with a dress or with lingerie.
2. Bridal
Congrats on your wedding! A lot of people think bridal boudoir pictures means your veil is the focal point. Not true. There are so many different white pieces you can wear to get the bridal look without any of the cheese.
3. Gatter
The garter is the perfect accessory to match with your bridal lingerie. They are going to be slipping it off with their teeth come wedding day so it is a playful hint at what is to come.
4. Button Up Shirt
This is one of my favorites! It’s so versatile. The button up shirt look has a feel of waking up late on a sunday and tossing on a favorite shirt of your partner’s. It can be tame all the way buttoned up or spicy pulling it open, taking it off or letting it lay so it juts barely covers you.
5. Cocktail Dress
I love to start photoshoots in a cocktail dress because it can tell a story of the first part of the date. When the page turns and you are unzipping or sliding it off it’s a beautiful suggest for what we can expect in the next few page! It is also a great to ease into the shoot if the idea of shooting in lingerie still intimidates you.
6. Corset
What every happened to corsets? I get it, you can’t breathe i them, but WOW do they look amazing in photos. They are incredible flattering on every body type and give off a subtle role play vibe that can really add to the mood of your shoot.
7. Crop Top
Some people really love lacy lingerie, some really love casual fridays and some love both. The crop top can do wonders for your shape and it is so suggestive. Play around with ones that are loose, tight, cut out in the back and various length. I think you will find something you really like.
8. Fishnets
These really work for a specific style. It is isn’t for everyone but can definitely add some fire to your outfit with the right heels and garter belt!
9. Garter Belts
Nine out of ten women have no idea how to put these on. This is pretty similar to groomsmen trying to put on a tie at their friends wedding. When garter belts are paired with stockings and heels they can add a few inches to your legs.
10. Hells
A classic. Heels do so many thing. They make your legs look longer, tone up your calves, help your posture and add an extra layer of sex appeal to almost any lingerie outfit. Even if casual is your thing I still recommend bringing at least one pair.
11. Halter Bra
These usually come with beautiful pattern all the way up to your neck line. This is perfect if you are looking for something more modest.
12. High Waisted
Everything old is new again. High waisted bottom were popular back in the 70’s. They look so AMAZING in pictures. They have a way of slimming the stomach and the cheeky bottoms create an amazing curve on your bum to really highlight your assets.
13. Jeans
Jeans are another one of those more everyday outfits that you can make sexy and suggestive by unzipping them in a photo or doing a picture with only the pains and no shirt on. Jeans can give a girl next door character that is super playful.
14. Jersey
Let’s get real for a second. Jersey’s are designed to be worn over pads and large men and nothing about them will flatter your curves. If you have to wear a jersey during your shoot, get a fitted t-shirt with the team logo. This will fit better and be much sexier.
15. Patterns
I’m about sexy black lingerie but sometime it can be fun to throw a pattern into the mix. Not all patterns look great, so definitely bring a few options so we can make sure to photograph one that will look amazing.
16. Robes
It can be hard to style an outfit that isn’t just a bra and panties. Robes can give the idea of lounging around the house, they can be playful to slip off or can even be worn without a bra underneath to add something to imagination.
17. Stockings
Stockings, heels, garter belt,… they all add up to the same thing. I try to do at least one outfit every session that is dressed to the 9’s. Feel free to get something outside of the standard black. Get something with a tiny pattern in it to something with a design over the thigh. Be careful not to get a size too small. This will squeeze in your thighs and they will have a harder time staying up
18. Off The Shoulder Sweater
This is what we most commonly start off shoots with because it is playful, it gives your hand something to do, it is suggestive and there is something about pulling clothes in all different directions that is so sexy.
19. One Piece Teddy
We had arrived at my favorite lingerie to photograph. Sometimes called a body suit, I think these are the most underrated lingerie. It is incredibly flattering on all body types. These are a million different designs for how it covers you and it is more versatile than you would think. I have so many favorite examples I couldn’t fit them all in one page!
20. Themed
This is definitely a less common outfit because the line between playful and trashy is extremely thin. If you have an idea let me know, but most of the time the pictures will be much better with the other options I’ve laid out in this guide.
21. T – Shirt
This is another casual option to start off your shoot with. There are a million poses you can do with a t-shirt. A shot of you taking it off makes the perfect transition to show the next outfit on the following page of your album.
22. White Sheet
This is such a favorite of so many women because it is the ultimate “leave a little to the imagination.” You can appear completely naked while revealing less than most pictures in typical lingerie. The white sheet is usually the final “outfit” and it end s the album with a bang.
23. Glasses
Glasses are fun little accessory. Nerds are sexy and it can be a fun character to jump into for a few pictures.
24. Ponytails
I love long wavy hair, but I also think that a woman’s neck, the jawline is beautiful. Putting your hair in a ponytail exposes that and give you a completely different look for a few pictures during your session.
25. Jewelry
I believe that you are the most important thing in these pictures and too many accessories can be distraction which is why not many of the images you’ve seen are littered with over exaggerated jewelry. That said a few pieces here and there can really bring an outfit together. Feel free to bring necklaces, bracelets or body jewelry you think would add to your photos.
