Boudoir photography is a unique and empowering form of self-expression that captures the essence of sensuality and intimacy in women.
There are many styles that can make each boudoir photography session distinctive and personal.
Below are some of the many styles of boudoir photography along with images I have captured over the years, for reference:
Classic & Elegant:
The timeless allure of classic boudoir photography revolves around simplicity and sophistication. Soft lighting, neutral tones, and often shot in black & white, these images are created using tasteful poses to create a sense of timeless elegance.
This style is perfect for those who appreciate a more traditional and refined aesthetic. Outfits can vary from using classic lingerie or a simple white sheet to imply nudity.
Vintage Glamour:
Embracing the charm of a bygone era, vintage boudoir photography incorporates retro props, attire, and settings. Think lace, pearls, pin up, and classic hairstyles. This style adds a touch of nostalgia and celebrates the beauty of the past while still remaining relevant and captivating.
Contemporary Modern:
For those with a more artistic flair, contemporary boudoir photography focuses on more unconventional poses and edgy compositions. Incorporating more avant-garde poses, this style brings a fresh and dynamic perspective to the traditional boudoir session, truly creating one-of-a-kind images.
Fine Art Aesthetics:
Elevating boudoir to an art form, fine art boudoir photography emphasizes artistic expression and creativity. I really love how these images turn out and they make beautiful wall art. Through creative lighting and thoughtful composition, this style transforms intimate moments into captivating masterpieces.
Candid and Lifestyle:
Departing from posed shots, candid and lifestyle boudoir photography captures authentic, spontaneous moments. This style is perfect for those who seek a more natural and unscripted portrayal of their sensuality. It embraces the beauty of imperfections and genuine emotions.
Themed Adventures:
Injecting a sense of playfulness, themed boudoir photography allows for an even more customized and personalized experience. Special sets and props add an element of excitement and creativity to the session.
Outdoor Adventures:
Outdoor boudoir photography is captivating and an increasingly popular style that takes the intimate art of boudoir outside the confines of the studio.
This is for the woman who wants to embrace the nature and the outdoor environment. In these sessions, we use the gorgeous landscapes of Sonoma County, California as our backdrop. The beach, redwood forest, golden meadows, and local lakes, rivers, and creeks offer amazing and endless possibilities! Outdoor boudoir sessions also offer many different wardrobe styles to fit the elements, ranging from flowing dresses and jeans to your bathing suit or fully nude.
Outdoor boudoir sessions can still be conducted with a degree of privacy. Even though I usually am photographing you in a public space, I am very adept at finding secluded spots and choosing times when there is suspected less foot traffic.
Most of my sessions incorporate a few of these different styles and you can see more examples by checking out more blog posts here!
