Talk to me about boudoir photos

I read the post about the boudoir photos, and I'm a little nervous to Google it, as I do not want porn to pop up...Is that what boudoir photos are? I read in the post that you could wear clothing, and/or be naked, but what exactly is boudoir photography?

Re: Talk to me about boudoir photos

  • Professional, classy photos of you in sexy lingerie.  Not porn.  Most women get professional hair and makeup done and take the photos in a nice hotel or studio.  Look up local photographers in your area to see who does them.

  • I did them as a wedding present for H. I was not nude-I wore lingerie. They are more pin up like than porn. They turned out awesome and he loved them. I didn't have porn come up when I googled boudior photographer + my area. Most of the women you will see on the sites will be models though. I did not release my images, so she can't use them for promotional purposes.

  • My idea of a boudoir photo would be a sexy MAN in a suggestive pose in my boudoir, NOT me.

  • You could also do cheesecake pinup photos, a la the 1940s or 1950s.

    Classy too, are the Esquire girls from back in the day --- maybe try a set of shots based on the Vargas girls and the Petty girls.:)
  • Alright. I googled it, and I am super excited because I talked to MH about if he would get upset if I did them, and he said he would...but what I'm excited about is that there are some where you are fully clothed and they still look AMAZING! Thanks for all your input!

  • Take a look at the old school movie stars: Kim Novak, Ava Garnder, Rita Haworth, Lana Turner and Ava Gardner -- maybe you could try a look similar to that.:)

     

  • not porn...suggestive photos...nothing you would show your friends (well maybe  a few) but nothing you would be devestated if your friends found
  • Hi there, 

     

    As soon who was scared of taking boudoir pictures, I have to admit the experience was awesome!! Not only do you feel classy and sexy but the result is amazing. In boudoir pictures, you can either be naked or have lingerie on...the poses are meant to be sexy NOT pornographic at all.

     The key to having a good boudoir pictures session is trusting your photographer. I have about 4 pictures where I am completely covered, if you want to see them I can send them to you via PM or email. :)

     

    Go for it! You will love it!

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." ~Laurie
  • I gave boudoir photos to my H for our first anniversary. I am shy and the idea made me a little nervous, but I am SO glad I got them done. I went to my photographer's studio for them and none of them are nude. In fact, some of my favorites are of me in a bra and panties, wearing one of H's button down shirts. I also wore a couple of lingerie sets. The experience was really fun and I think my pictures turned out really well.
