12 Days of Christmas Boudoir Shoots

There’s something magical about doing boudoir photos during the Christmas season…maybe it’s the chilly weather that limits you to doing indoor boudoir photos. Or maybe it’s how cozy the glow of a fire, candles, & holiday décor can be…who knows?! Christmas boudoir shoots make an excellent gift. Here are 12 ideas for boudoir shoots that are sure to make your photos sizzle:

1. Night Shirts

A partially-unbuttoned night shirt is a perfect outfit for Christmas boudoir shoots. It’s reminiscent of opening presents on Christmas morning. Night shirts can be accompanied with all sorts of props, but they definitely fit a boudoir shoot in the bedroom or in front of the tree.

2. Santa Hat

A Santa hat lets your partner know that you are the gift giver and the gift. It can be paired with anything or nothing at all, making it as innocent or as seductive as you want it to be.

3. Socks

Hats & socks can be paired with anything…or nothing. Cozy winter socks can be paired with some sheets and a mug of cocoa for a warm, sensual look. Or fun, sexy Christmas socks can be paired with stilettos to make Christmas fantasies come true. The options are endless.

4. Mistletoe

A kiss beneath the mistletoe is a Christmas tradition, but a girl standing under a mistletoe is a kiss waiting to happen. Build the tension by holding this seasonal symbol of love in your hands in your photos.

5. Elf

Cuteness is sexy, and so are elves. Dressing like one can be fun, and it may better capture the character of some individuals who are looking for a more fun-filled, cute boudoir shoot.

6. The Perfect Present

You are a gift, so why not tie yourself up in a bow? Bows are the perfect outfit for any type of shoot. Companies like Yandy make bow teddies and they come in various sizes like misses or plus size. The photos of these were a little too spicy for me to post here, so I’ve just linked to them if you wanna get one. 😉

7. Presents Under the Tree

Add a few presents under the tree, stand or lay in front of it wearing the outfit a bow teddy, and you have yet another romantic scene that implies just what I said above – you’re a gift, ready to be unwrapped. I promise, if done right, it won’t be as cheesy as it sounds. 😉

8. Red and Green

It may seem obvious to bring red and green into the shoot, but Christmas-colored lingerie may be all it takes to make it a “holiday photo.” Color schemes can speak volumes without adding holiday-specific props that may not fit the theme.

9. Lights

Holiday lights create a beautiful glow that enhances skin tone as well as the Christmas spirit of a home. Wrapping yourself in lights or lying in a pile of lights creates a dramatic effect.

10. Candy Cane

The mouth can be a very sexy part of Christmas boudoir shoots, and a candy cane give you something to do with it. Even if it just holding it near the face, the idea that something will be eaten highlights the mouth and can pair perfectly with the right shade of lipstick and pout.

11. Fireplace

Like Christmas lights, fireplaces give a complimentary glow to skin, and the light from a fire can hide imperfections. It also creates a seductive area whether in the bedroom or next to the tree. Fireplaces scream Christmas because you-know-who will be coming down the chimney, and it provides a similar atmosphere to the bedroom.

12. Snow

If you’re really brave, you can travel to a snowy state and do an outdoor Christmas boudoir shoot. OR, grab a pile of clear crystal snowflake ornaments & hang them on a blue or tan background for an artist snow scene.
