You absolutely DO NOT have to be naked for your shoot. If you’re not comfy with being nude, we’d never ask you to.
Your photographer should NEVER pressure you to go outside of your comfort zone, and we will always ask you how far you’d like to go in regards to nudity during your shoot. Many people think that a boudoir shoot means you have to go naked – nope! Not true. In fact, we have lots of very conservative clients that don’t want to show much skin at all. Their images come out as beautiful and sensual as the client who wants to bare it all.
Nudity does not equal “sexy.” Sexy can be implied with posing and facial expressions and wardrobe, but not necessarily naked skin.
The only time we may suggest being nude is if you do the white sheet set or the bathtub! If you do the white sheets, you’ll be tastefully covered by the sheet, and we’ll only show some boob or butt if YOU want it. But you can also absolutely wear lingerie with the sheets!
With the tub, we think being nude makes the most sense and yields the most dynamic photos. After all, it’s natural to be naked when taking a bath. And keep in mind we usually have bubbles or flowers in the tub with you, which can be arranged to cover ya up! But again, this is a comfort level thing and you can totally wear lingerie, a bathing suit, or a white tank top in the bath.
Of course, we do have lots of clients who know they wanna go nude and we welcome that as well. Please just keep in mind that all our images are done in a classy and tasteful manner… we love artsy classic nudes!
I am very proud to say that we do have clients who are nervous to go nude but by the time the end of the shoot comes they realize it’s not that scary and take the plunge. Our staff is amazing at making our clients feel safe and comfortable! 💗
