Boudoir Style: Luxe Look For Less | Las Vegas Boudoir
One of my clients recently brought to her shoot the most stunning corset from Agent Provocateur for one of her ‘looks’ that I wanted to share with you here. Unfortunately I can’t show the images I took of her in it out of respect for her privacy (she opted to keep her photos to herself on her model release form). But, I found it on the Agent Provocateur website so you can see for yourself! It photographs beautifully. At $390 it’s a bit pricey for a lot of us women, but I found a very similar one on the Victoria’s Secret website for $58 (available in black, red & pink – I personally prefer the black one), in case you want something like this for your own boudoir shoot. Corsets are perfect for almost every body shape, but especially if your tummy is a problem area that you would like to diminish rather than highlight in your photos.
Happy shopping!

Style Idea: Sheer Simplicity | Las Vegas Boudoir
Just did a shoot last week with a pretty lady who brought in the cutest sheer top from Forever 21 to use as one of her ‘looks’! This is a great idea if you like the idea of topless but are a little timid about the idea! This particular clients top was adorable…kind-of a lacy top that was meant for layering over a camisole and it was open to the waist, where it cinched in and had buttons at the bottom to keep it pulled together. It also had sparkly accents around the lining. It was sooo pretty! If you are looking for something a little different, I would encourage you to look for things like this from your regular wardrobe even.
Here are a few fairly similar looks I found on a quick search:
Boudoir Styling Idea | Las Vegas Boudoir Photographer
Awhile back I was browsing the Kiki De Montparnasse website and found the most amazing little outfit for a boudoir session….a Garter Tank! Isn’t this the coolest thing ever? Pair it with sexy panties, fishnet stockings and a multi-strand necklace to give it an extra ‘edge’.
Well, imagine my excitement when my boudoir client came in with that exact outfit yesterday! I was even more inspired when she told me her idea for that ‘look’….she wanted to wet the tank for the photos! We got shots of her in the bathtub pouring water out of a vessel onto herself. And, the pictures look AMAZING! I so wish I could share them! I promised to keep them private for her and her hubby-to-be though…sorry girls! But we could always recreate this look at any time if any of you are interested!
Garter Tank is also available at ShopBop.
Another take on the ‘tank look’ could be pairing a regular tank top (knotted in front or back) with these amazing bottoms!
So many fun ideas! Just think outside of the box a little. Afterall, you want to add a little fantasy to at least one of your looks for your photos.

She’s got legs – Las Vegas Boudoir
Talk about stunning! I was blown away by Miss G’s beautiful long hair and pretty long legs! And she was a total sweetheart! Thanks for the fun girly afternoon Miss G! I had a blast hanging out with you!
Miss G reminded me of that song, ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ by Jet:
“Big black (replace with cream) boots,
long brown hair,
she’s so sweet
with her get back stare.”

Lingerie Inspiration
I just adore the line of lingerie at Agent Provocateur. Although they are a bit pricier than other lingerie sources, their website is still fun to search for inspiration for what you might like to wear for your boudoir shoot! Take note of the exquisite lace they use on their garments…so pretty!

Lingerie Ideas for Your Boudoir Photo Shoot
I am always browsing lingerie sites for ideas on things you can wear for your shoot and came across this Ballerina Nightie at Victoria’s Secret. I like that this is a bit out of the norm where lingerie is concerned…it would certainly add some drama to your images…always a good thing!

Feeling beautiful from the inside-out is the goal for French women. They take very good care of their skin and never skimp on pretty lingerie. See for yourself on this video from Oprah.com.

Old Hollywood Glamour – Lingerie-Style
We love how some of today’s lingerie styles evoke the sophistication and glamour of old Hollywood! It seems like many contemporary designers are trying to recapture the essence of lingerie in its heyday, and they are doing so with some very fun results. Retro styles are certainly in ‘comeback’ mode, particularly with the high-waist panties and contrast-seamed stockings. We especially love the look of a beautiful satin robe with ostrich feather trim – the ultimate in decadence!
Some designers that we carry in our boutique (Faire Frou Frou) do a wonderful job with the retro look: Fifi Chachnil, Miss Lala Presents, and Made by Niki. Now you can create your own glamorous lingerie ensemble! Have fun!

Valentine’s Day or Boudoir Shoot Lingerie
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching I thought I would share some sweet looks in lingerie that would double nicely as a gift but would also look lovely for a boudoir photo shoot! For boudoir shoots I recommend COLOR, bright, beautiful color. If you must do black, try to make it interesting, by selecting something with unusual details.
Agent Provocateur has long been a favorite of mine. Their items are a little less frilly and sexy in a more grown-up way than other lingerie collections I have come across.
La Perla has some sexy, unusual collections right now too.
And if you are looking for FUN, look no further than Trashy Lingerie! They have some of the cutest looks imaginable!
They also have sexy shoes, which are super important for your boudoir session!
