Modest Boudoir Photography Outfit Ideas

Modest boudoir photography outfit ideas?! Yes, you read that right. No, it’s not an oxymoron! I know, I know. You were more than likely raised to feel that there is something wrong with being sexy. I know that feeling.

However, there’s something so beautiful, romantic, and yes, even innocent, about doing a boudoir photoshoot…but also, sexiness has its place too. If you’re a good `ole Southern Baptist who needs a little Biblical justification for it, just read Song of Solomon – there’s a time & place for everything & just ask any of my married clients – boudoir has added a little spice to their love lives. 😉

For the single ladies, boudoir photography is empowering! There’s just something about getting your hair & makeup done professionally, then seeing photos of your body that make you realize you are more beautiful than you ever believed & that new-found, head-to-toe confidence in yourself can help you land someone special.

I’ll admit that I’m not the most risque boudoir photographer around & that I’m very selective in what I post and even with client permission, you won’t see EVERY photo I shoot on my website.

With all that being said, I’m sharing a few modest boudoir photography shoot ideas from sessions I’ve done in the past. These looks are the perfect mixture of soft & feminine to make any woman who’s a little nervous about her boudoir shoot feel more like a princess than a vixen. Not that one is better than the other. We just understand that all different types of women come to our studio & we’ve honestly been forgetting to talk about the softer side of boudoir photography here on our blog.

Sweaters

Give your photoshoot a cozy feel! Wrap yourself up in a cardigan or wear a pull-over sweater to cover up a bit more.

Collared Shirts

Get a little more personal and borrow a button-down shirt from your significant other. This idea helps keep things modest while also adding a personal touch to your session.

Robes

Robes are a natural option for modest boudoir sessions. They fit right in with your lingerie, sometimes even included in matching sets. We also have a few of our own robes in the studio for you to use!

Dresses

There are no rules that say you must wear lingerie for your boudoir session. If you want to wear your favorite dress for one of your looks, go for it!

Ready to get your boudoir photography shoot on? I’d love to see you here at Beautiful You Studios wearing such a pretty, feminine, & tasteful boudoir outfit like one of these, or anything else you’d like to bring from home!
