The number of outfits may depend on how much time you have available. But for sure go with at least 3. That should give you enough variety. For ideas maybe a fun dress up outfits (halloween is here!) with sexy bra and panties peeking out, maybe a super sexy bra and thong set, or maybe just a white sheet. Don't for get to bring a selection od accessories (really long and medium length necklaces, choker), and shoes with high heels. The higher the better! Good Luck and have a blast!

I have a session booked for the 21st.....I've been running over 5 km a day for the exception of weekends...hope that helps my back end...after 2 kids, things aren't the same, but so looking forward to doing this shoot.....My girlfriends cousing by marriage is looking to expand his portfolio, and offering a free boudoir shoot, all we have to do is pay for the film.....I can't wait!!!!!!

Ten Tips on How to Feel Relaxed & Sexy when being Photographed

 

1. Focus on Having Fun

Make your goal to have fun, not to get great shots - that’s my job Everyone looks their best when they’re genuinely having a great time.

 

2. Visualize

I know this is very Tony Robbins of me, but he’s not the only one who recognizes the power of visualization. Make it a practice to see the experience of having a great time, feeling sexy, everything going smoothly, seeing the photos and loving them. Be specific and visualize from your point of view, as if you’re in it.

 

3. Get Inspired

Look at movies and art for inspiration, tear pages out of magazines and begin to recognize your style and sensibility… what is sexy to you? This will help you communicate with your photographer and help guide the shoot.

 

4. Show Up With All You’ve Got

When I say show up, I don’t mean to just show up. Bring it. And be open. Karen deserves all the credit for the success of her shoot, because she showed up, really stretched way outside her comfort zone and gave it all she had.

 

5. Be Sensual

Use your five senses during the shoot: play music, have a bite of chocolate, a sip of wine, put on a favorite scent, wear a kick-ass outfit you feel great in, and think of memories that make you blush, smile, and sweat… Do everything and (well, almost) anything that gets you hot.

 

6. Be Silly

Any shyness tends to go right out the window after the first few minutes or so of being silly. I am the biggest ham during a shoot, and I embarrass myself frequently (not always on purpose), but this serves me well as it usually puts everyone at ease. Just goof off and have fun! See how outrageous and silly you can be - it’s easier for the photographer to tone you down, rather than fire you up!

 

7. Create Movement

I often hear but I don’t know how to pose. Well that’s good, let’s not do that! Create a little action, however, so there’s energy in every shot. C’mon you all know how to flirt! If you’re on a shoot with me, I can show you some sexy moves (hey hey).

 

8. Remember the Context

The sheer fact that you’re in front of the camera being photographed is damn sexy… it’s powerful and vulnerable at the same time, which is an unbeatable combo - enjoy it!

 

9. Fake It

I’m not telling you to fake the real deal, but if you don’t feel 100% confident and sexy while on a photo shoot, FAKE it. Works every time.

 

10. Be Yourself

Honor who you are, in this moment. Don’t wait to lose a few pounds. (Besides, I’m a pro at retouching, and Photoshop is the best personal trainer in the world - more on that in another post!) But it’s important that you FEEL sexy, so if working out for a few weeks is going to do that, then great. But let’s not wait for all the planets to be aligned and your bangs to be the right length. The time is now. You are sexy and beautiful just as you are.

 

Bonus Tip: And of course, add alcohol

Hockeymom...that is great advice! How awesome your friend shared that with you and you shared it with us...Thanks!

Honestly I never even thought of doing this...I have been racking my brain for what to get my FI for Christmas...since that is also his birthday! These photos would be great and I know he would love them!

I wish I could take credit, but the suggestions weren't mine - I was only commenting on what someone else had shared...I think it was Cougs that posted the tips But glad they were helpful
