Boudoir Must Haves

Sexy Accessories | San Jose San Francisco Bay Area Boudoir Photography

 

When doing a boudoir photo shoot keep it unique and keep it about you. It’s time for that sexy side to sizzle. The best way to do that is through accessories, but you never want to over accessorize simply because IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!! There are so many fun ways to do this that will not take away from that perfect shot!

Let’s go from top to bottom!

Hats are a great start. Often times you can play with a lot of different close-up shots. And there is a hat for every look and every type. Everything from a big Hollywood glamor look to a rustic cowgirl look, you’d be surprised about its versatility.

Now, personally, I am not a hat person. I’m not the only one either. But I can’t help but love a good headpiece of some kind. A great flapper style headband adorned with ornate fabrics and designs is one option that will enhance every picture.

Tiaras and different bejeweled hair accessories are essential for the perfect boudoir bridal photo. The tiara is best when worn with an elegant veil, but is just as stunning by itself to make your inner princess come to life.

But I can’t resist just keeping it simple and sexy with flowers in the hair. You can have a single rose sitting delicately on one side or have an entire arrangement placed throughout your hair of any flower you wish.

Make a statement with an alluring mask. Entice those who look to stare deep into your eyes and become mesmerized. Be as subtle or as decorative as you wish with this fanciful accessory.

Chokers are the sexiest types of necklaces. It hugs the neck with elegant styles and materials that make this ever sensual part of your body look longer and more delicate.

Pearls are as simple as can be along with being as sexy as ever. Pearls pair well with every boudoir outfit, but it is even more desirable when it stands alone. Wear it close to your neck like a choker, wrap it with layers around your neck, or wear them long as the pearls follow down the center of your body.

Go big and rocker with various types of draped chain. Gold is another personal favorite and letting the layers drape long and proud down every curve is so sexy.

dec_border

 

One option, if you are not into a chain like I am but still want to make a big statement, is to go with big colorful beaded pieces. The more colorful the better!

dec_border

 

 

But who could resist a wonderful jewelry set being the only outfit you wear. Let your jewels inspire the sexy in you.

dec_border

 

 

And what better to match with your exquisite jewels than a stunning fluffy fur stole or fur coat. It can be faux or no, colorful or simple, and always soft to the touch.

dec_border

 

Add a silky touch of something extra sexy with a pair of luxurious gloves. With such choices as lace, chiffon or satin, how could you not look glamorous? Have them long and simple or short and decorative to show off a unique you.

dec_border

 

Fans are the most beguiling accessory and always makes for a fabulous photo. Even more so than then any hat, the fan can be a great prop for a captivating close-up like no other.

dec_border

 

Body chains are the sexiest trend in boudoir accessories and with as many styles as there are ways to wear them you can not go wrong. When used for a photo shoot it often highlights the most arousing features.

dec_border

 

Belts can also be a great addition to your choice of outfit. With a corset waist belt, you can cheat! You have the same classic look of a corset without having to lose your breath or deal with to many ties.

dec_border

 


Chain belts are another great way to enhance your outfit and give you an edgy look that snugs closely and enhances your racy side.

dec_border

 

 

Garters! Need I say more? And with so many styles to choose you can be anything from a blushing bride to subtle hints of s&m, however the mood strikes you.

dec_border

 

 

Stockings? What’s more risque than stockings held up with a classic garter belt? It’s that vintage look that will never go out of style because it is so perfect, especially for a boudoir shoot.

dec_border

 

You’re going to need one sexy pair of pumps to really make your stockings complete. Any color, any style and however high you want them is the best way to make your luscious legs reach to the stars.

dec_border

 

But it’s not the only way to make your legs look spectacular. Boots! The higher the thigh the better! Make them look even more scandalous by wearing only your boots during your session.

dec_border

 

 

From head to toe and everything in between, make sure the true sexy vixen that exists within every pearl clutching lady shines brighter than a diamond.

What To Wear Wednesday | Mountain View Los Gatos Bay Area Boudoir Photography

 

It’s night time and not a thing left to do. Date night is fun, but you want to make it unforgettable and dazzling. It’s time to go into your closet and pull out your trusty ‘After Dark’ look, complete with the perfect lingerie to finish the night off.

dec_border

Purple is the color of royalty and you deserve to look like a queen. It can be a very dramatic statement or show a softer side of you depending on the shade. From it’s darkest to it’s lightest shades this versatile hue never ceases to impress your love.

dec_border

 

Black is a go-to classic! It caters to every event. Whether it’s a gala gown, a little black dress or a wild rocker piece. The thing that makes black truly the best is the ability to mix and match colors and patterns since black goes with everything.

dec_border

Red is the color of love, lust, desire, and everything that makes an after dark date even more fun. It’s an extremely powerful color that evokes a very raw emotion in not only the person wearing it but the person staring at you from across the room.

dec_border

Dark teal is a color I feel is often overlooked for such an occasion. It is as versatile and sexy as your more classic colors. It also compliments every skin tone and body shape. Think of a colorful peacock when thinking of this magnificent color.

dec_border

I know solid colors are fun and flirty, but you want to spice it up even more. Well, all that glitters is glamor for your date night. Don’t be afraid to sport those hand-sewn crystal embellishments and shimmery sequence with a boost of color!

dec_border

No matter where the night takes you and that special ‘After Dark’ date, make sure it leads you to new adventures and experiences.

Fashion Friday| Campbell San Jose Los Gatos Bay Area Boudoir Studio

Who doesn’t love a good lingerie robe? It is not only soft and silky, but it is essential to complete your sexy boudoir look. And with so many different materials and colors to choose from mixing and matching make it that much more fun.

dec_border

 

Silk and satin are classic and smooth no matter the occasion. A trim of lace adds a delicate touch to your look. It hangs beautifully on every curve and allows for simple mobility to be simply sexy.

dec_border

 

Fur is fabulous and always soft to the skin. It is chic and sexy and begs to be touched often. When paired with chiffon the look achieves a certain elegance for your bedroom antics.

   

dec_border

Lace on every lady is luxurious. Satin, fur lined or not, full length or temptingly short? No matter what lace makes the occasion exquisite, the body more alluring and leaves the eyes wanting more.

dec_border

 

Floral prints are delicate, colorful and vibrant and ideal for such a personality. More amazing is how many fabrics and designs the floral print comes. Silk and lace with such styles as Japanese kimono and velvet embroidered there is no way to go wrong with such versatility.

dec_border

 

Cozy can be so sexy and you can’t have cozy without cotton. It’s perfect for mixing and matching with all styles, fabrics, and colors. Feel fuzzy and warm while feeling sensual. It will leave you never wanting to leave your bedroom.  

dec_border

 

From sexy to chic, furry to cozy, soft, smooth, silky and every inch lovely. Wrap beauty around you and embrace it from head to toe.

Very Velvety | Santa Cruz Los Gatos Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

 

When it comes to Valentine’s Day finding what to wear can be a hassle, especially when you’re the type that always thinks outside the box. For the biggest day of love satin and lace are your standard fabrics when choosing something very sexy. These fabrics are both fantastic for go-to sexytime lingerie. But you’re not into just those two choices. You’re more into mixing it up a bit or even going with an entirely different material altogether. VELVET!!!! Yes, Velvet!!

dec_border

 

Since velvet is so soft to the touch some ladies like to go for a color that is equally as soft. It makes it that much more irresistible. Lighter shades of pink achieve this effect perfectly.

dec_border

 

Burgundy accomplishes this soft sexy perfection despite its deep shade. As a matter of fact, to go deeper is to attain true seduction.

dec_border

 

Various shades of blue of course are vivacious and extremely enticing, but one of the most unlikely colors for Valentine’s Day. Despite not being a more commonly used color, it still achieves a soft and regal yet naughty look.

dec_border

 

Although purple is a less traditional color for the occasion it is the most regal of all colors. Wear the color of a Queen while captivating your King.

dec_border

But black is an absolute classic and goes with every color, every occasion and it is most flattering on every beautiful figure. As a little black dress is a must in each woman’s closet, so too should black velvet in every ladies lingerie drawer.

dec_border

 

To feel soft always remember that velvet is that perfect touch needed for your special Valentine’s Day.

How To Feel Sexy | San Jose Bay Area Boudoir Portrait Photographer

Sometimes you need to be shown how beautiful you are…

 

All women struggle with feeling beautiful and confident. There are so many things in life that get in our way, change how we feel or how we look and sometimes we need a little reminder. I had the gorgeous Miss D in for a session a couple months ago. She was nervous but excited. She allowed us to play with her adorable pixie cut for some playful spikes, it looked fabulous on her! We raided the studio wardrobe for this elegant dress and a sparkly necklace. The low cut front and leg slits showed off all her gorgeous assets. She looked amazing and as always I love to see the transformation from shy and nervous to confident and strong. Miss D has it going on!

Seduction. When you feel beautiful, it can happen without even trying.

Miss D is wonderfully tall, perfectly shown off in this image. What you don’t see in this set is how much we laughed throughout her session. Some of these poses are not the most natural. Hahaha Modeling can be hard, but it can be rewarding also. After showing Miss D a few images on the back of the camera she did her best not to cry with excitement. I was able to show her how stunningly beautiful she is. To me, that has greater value than the images alone. I know I have said this a lot but there is so much more to a Boudoir Coterie photo shoot than having your picture taken, it’s an experience every woman should have. We all need to feel beautiful, sensual and confident.

Why yes, I do shoot topless, but I am not allowed to show it on my website. I think I found a way around this. 😉 If sensual images fit your style, then these sexy sheet set shots are the way to go.

Miss D was amazing and brave. For someone so nervous about being in front of the camera, she completely stepped out of her comfort zone and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Her images are stunning and sensual. the perfect portrayal of this gorgeous woman. 

You were a pleasure to work with, Miss D. Stay sexy!

Rock Your Curves! | San Jose Campbell Bay Area Boudoir Photographer

If there is one thing that I am a strong believer in, it’s that every single woman can look and feel sexy. It’s about feeling it and believing in yourself. It’s really that simple!

Miss K was one of my model call applicants. In her email, she told me about her weight struggles and how she has finally come to accept her body and embrace it for what it is. She is finally allowing herself to feel as beautiful and sexy as her boyfriend keeps telling her she is.. and dangit, I’m with him. She’s super fly <— reverting back to my the 90’s lingo. Haha

When Miss K came in for her session she let loose. She played it up for the camera and rocked her fabulous curves. We had fun, we laughed a lot(it can feel a bit goofy playing up your sexy face, but it’s so worth it, and there is the bonus of the feel good laughs!). The resulting images are sexy and powerful. From pretty to daring, she did it all and hot damn, she looks fabulous!!!
