Show your body some love before your bridal boudoir session
Before you even start your bridal boudoir session, remember that your partner loves you for who you are—not in spite of your body but because of it. Every curve and seeming imperfection you may stress about when looking in the mirror is part of what makes you you. Confidence is sexy, and the more you love and embrace your body, the hotter your photos will turn out.
Find a photographer you trust
Your boudoir images won’t turn out well if you don’t feel comfortable with your photographer. When choosing someone to take your photos, look for someone who makes you feel at ease and knows how to pose you in the sexiest and most flattering positions.
Bring that model energy
You’re probably not used to having your photo taken professionally, and that’s totally fine! Just try to have fun and act like a model strutting her stuff for the camera. Don’t be afraid to try different looks and poses. After all, you get to choose which photos to keep!
Get a new perspective on your body
Seeing your bridal boudoir images can help you truly appreciate your own unique beauty and let you see yourself in a whole new light. Instead of focusing on your flaws, you look back on your photos to remind you of just how truly gorgeous and sexy you are.
Take some time for self-care before your bridal boudoir session
A bridal boudoir session is the perfect excuse to indulge yourself a little. Get a pedicure and manicure and maybe a massage while you’re at it. The more relaxed and beautiful you feel, the more confident you’ll be during your session. And who doesn’t love a little pampering?
