Outdoor Boudoir Session Guide

Outdoor Boudoir

I offer these a date during the summer and they are my most popular sessions. It is a chance to connect with nature and with yourself. Getting out of the “traditional” studio photos and enjoy the outdoors, especially if you are a nature lover or outdoor enthusiast.

Indoor v. Outdoor

The biggest difference between indoor and outdoor boudoir is privacy. Boudoir is intimate so it is important that you feel comfortable and safe. It is in a public place, but we will be pretty secluded. It is not as private as an indoor session in my studio, but we won’t be disturbed.

It’s a fun and creative genre of boudoir photography but it is not for everyone. I recognize that this is often a step outside of your comfort zone.

If this will be your first boudoir session, make sure that you are comfortable being vulnerable especially outside in nature.

If you’ve already done indoor boudoir or are feeling adventurous then outdoor boudoir brings it to another level in feeling confident and loving yourself.

How They Work

I have stations set up in the woods and creek area around the campground that I grew up at. We will be getting around on a four wheeler so make sure you are comfortable riding as a passenger with me.
No need to worry about posing, that’s my job as the photographer!

Be prepared to be immersed in nature.

Style Guide

The packages include hair and makeup.

You provide your own attire. I am happy to help, to share my opinion and to help you pick something out. Wear what you feel the most confident in. Try on outfits at home and see what works and what doesn’t.

Pieces like matching lingerie sets, bodysuits, oversized button-down shirts, lacy bralettes, airy robes, sheer dresses and fabrics like lace, satin, and chiffon work best for outdoor shoots.

However, don't limit yourself to lingerie, you could wear a bathing suit, if that is what is the most comfortable to you.

Embrace your body, celebrate yourself with an outdoor boudoir photoshoot that will be an unforgettable experience.
