5 Fairytale Boudoir Ideas

Boudoir photography is not just about sexuality, and there is no reason why it can’t tell a story. Doing a fairytale boudoir shoot can be a fun way to add props, and it can help a person to get into character while being photographed.

When you are thinking about the collection of photos you want during your boudoir shoot, consider elements from fairytales. Bringing a fairytale to the bedroom can spark some serious romance.

Red Riding Hood

There is something adventurous and deviant in the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. She was a “bad girl,” and that can translate to sexy photography.

Furthermore, the red hood and the wolf from the story translate to excellent photo props. A bright red robe or top can add mystery but also floods the shot with color. It is an excellent prop for boudoir. If you have any parts of your body you don’t want photographed, the cloak is an excellent way to hide without giving the appearance of hiding. Add a fur rug or blanket and you have a fairytale boudoir session.

Snow White

Snow White is ivory skin with red lips and black hair, and there is hardly any way to prevent that from being sexy.

This fairytale gives multiple settings for the photographer, and Snow White may be paired with woodland animals or be sleeping after having bitten an apple.

Ariel

Who doesn’t want to be a mermaid? The tale of the Little Mermaid is saturated with fairytale romance, and you can wear a tail!

Ariel can be directly translated into sea settings, or she can be transformed into different settings to create an imbalance that is intriguing.

Cinderella

The fun things about a boudoir Cinderella are her shoes and dress. A missing shoe tells a story, and maybe you are reaching out for it, or maybe it is simply missing.

The dress also adds a unique opportunity to go ballroom gown, but shorten it into a lingerie version. Might as well add a tiara.

Rapunzel

Rapunzel is all about the hair, and this can be recreated for boudoir regardless of the length of your hair. As the story says, simply “let down your hair”.

Let your hair flow over the edge of a bed or sofa to give the effect of letting down your hair for your prince charming. You can also hide behind your hair, which brings a sexual element to the shot that is coy. And if you want to add the fairytale element of extremely long hair, wigs and extensions are a great option if you have shorter hair.

Doing a fairytale boudoir session is a fun way to get creative with your shots, but it also allows you to engage in fantasy and have a little fun. Have an idea for your own fairytale boudoir shoot? Schedule a phone consultation today so we can help make it real.
