It has been a long time dream of mine to do an outdoor boudoir session in a desert. At the beginning of the year, my dream finally came true while I was in Las Vegas. Literally the WEEK before I moved into the new studio I went to Las Vegas for two photography conferences. WPPI (Wedding and Portrait Photographers International) which had 3000+ photographers in attendance from all over the world. And Do More which is a boudoir photographer’s group that had 100+ boudoir photographers in attendance, also from all over the world.
Almost all of the photos you’ll see in this post were taken while at a workshop hosted by famous Canadian boudoir photographer, Terri Hofford. It’s been awhile – since I was a fashion photographer about 5 years ago – that I’ve gotten to just shoot for fun and do minimal coaching on the poses. Since I didn’t have to think about the poses so much, I was able to focus on experimenting with movement, camera angles, and prisms.
I’m so in love with outdoor boudoir that I wanted to share some ideas for doing a desert boudoir session!
Don’t be afraid to wear a pop of color for your outdoor boudoir session. The desert isn’t always the brightest back drop, so wearing a bright color can provide a great contrast. It will help you stand out!
Spin, twirl, dance, have fun with it! When you’re out in the desert you have so much room to move around, take advantage of it. When you’re thinking about your outfits be sure to keep this in mind. Long robes, flowy dresses, and scarves make great options to add movement to your shots.
When you’re out in the desert the sun is BRIGHT! Use that sun for some beautiful reflective and sparkling pictures. The sparkles can be part of your outfit, jewelry, makeup, get creative.
This is the perfect combination of fashion and function. Again, the sun out there is bright, you’ll be thankful to have a bit of shade. Along with shielding your eyes from the sun you can use a hat as an accessory for posing.
I loved doing this outdoor boudoir session in the desert and would be happy to offer it here in Dallas too. The only caveat is that you must provide the location when setting up your session.
