What you wear during your boudoir session is completely up to you!
You can choose to wear regular clothes, lingerie, harnesses, body chains, be topless, use sheets for implied nudes, or be nude; we all feel empowered and sexy from different things.
Let’s explore why nudity is a valid option, what to expect during a nude boudoir session, and how to prepare for it.
Why Nudity is a Valid Option
Nudity in boudoir photography is not meant to be provocative or vulgar but rather a beautiful and artful portrayal of a woman's body.
Being nude during your photo session allows for a more authentic representation of yourself and your personal style. It also provides you with an opportunity to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin.
It provides you the opportunity to see your dimples, rolls, scars, and skin as beautiful. You can choose to be completely nude, or partially covered with topless or implied nude poses.
The choice is yours, and it is important to remember that nudity is not a requirement.
