When planning for a boudoir photo shoot, it is a difficult task to decide what to wear. Here are some ways to make sure your shoot goes smoothly and you get the sexy photos you want. 

When looking for boudoir outfits, it is a good idea to ask the photographer for ideas, advice or examples. Especially when a photographer is well seasoned, they will be able to offer great tips and advice on what to wear. They have done shoots with many people, amateurs and professionals, and would know details as to what types of materials may not photograph well, what styles flatter certain figures and how many looks can be shot within your time frame. It is helpful to collaborate with the photographer so the photos come out as expected. If the photographer has one vision in mind and it strongly contrasts with your ideas, the photos may not turn out as you had hoped. Communication is key. 

Along with talking with the photographer, the internet is an amazing resource. The internet is a great place to look for outfit ideas. You may have things lying around your home that you never thought could be incorporated into your boudoir outfit. A pair of earrings, cuff or even simple black heels can transform a simple piece of lingerie into an interesting outfit. It's important to have an open mind and be creative. 

Lastly, and most importantly, boudoir is all about being sexy. Boudoir usually involves a sensual feeling mixed with mystery. In order to express that sexiness that boudoir requires, you will have to be comfortable. Although it may be tempting to go out and buy new outfits for your shoot, it's more important that you wear pieces that you know you are comfortable in. Pick the lingerie that you love wearing that you feel sexy in. Lingerie that doesn't fit quite right that requires adjusting every couple of seconds will only distract you.

Don't try to conform to someone else's idea of sexy. Although you may want to use the internet to get ideas, you don't want to attempt to recreate something exactly; it will never turn out exactly how you want. It's important to prepare ideas and then go with the flow. If you feel uncomfortable or you don't feel sexy, it will show in your photos. You want to exude sexiness and that means you have to wear something that you know you look good in.
