What do you see? A simple folding chair? I do to. I also see amazing floors.. Incredible light. I see so many possibilities in my head for a model on that chair. You don't need a ton of stuff to create great images.

Sometimes simple is better. Makes the subject the center of attention. And look how insanely sexy she is!

A white tank, simple panties & high socks.. So basic, but so intriguing.

Plus, you can get that tank wet for an even sexier look!!!!

Finding outfits to wear for your boudoir shoot is half the fun! Today’s blog is meant to inspire you to raid yourcloset (as well as our favorite lingerie boutiques) before getting in front of the camera. Here are the top items every woman already has in her closet that are perfect for a boudoir photo shoot.

1. Basic black (or white) bra with a cute pair of underwear. 
Black is never going out of style, and you can always dress it up with some gorgeous jewelery.

2. A cardigan or sweater that can fall off the shoulder.
We LOVE this look…it’s so sexy and natural. It will bring the eye up to your cleavage (va va voom!) and create a beautiful shape in the waist when buttoned in the middle.

3. A button-up shirt.
This can be used in 2 different ways. First, you can borrow one from your honey’s closet, or you may already have one of those gorgeous sheer blouses that are super chic right now. Either way, they are fun to use and are easily paired with a basic bra/panty set.

4. A tank top or camisole.
Sheer lace tank tops are wonderful for a cheeky teaser shot to show off your silhouette. Or lets wet that tank & show how a tank can be REALLY sexy!

5. Jeans or leggings.
I don’t think this needs much explanation!

 6. Sheets! 
Another option that requires no wardrobe at all – faux nudes using our white sheets or careful posing and angles. Super simple, natural and incredibly sexy!

7. Bodysuits, Bodysuits, Bodyuits!
They are flattering on EVERY body type!! These are my FAAAAVORITE

8. Last but CERTAINLY not least... Nude
I will pose you in flattering ways for your body type! Show nipple, don't show nipple. Either way, this is the best! You don't have to worry about bulges from lingerie or adjusting  yourself. Its just simply you.

I wanna hear from you! What are some other everyday items in your closet perfect for a boudoir session? Write your ideas in the comments below.

I thought it would be important to share a brief snippet of my story. Being comfortable in my skin and loving myself is always something I struggled with. For years, I battled anorexia. It consumed my life and is still a daily battle. No one ever wants to hear of a skinny girl’s struggle but eating disorders are real and all consuming. I was bullied a lot in high school over my eating disorder and constantly called ugly and bullied which just fed into it even more. I got to a point where if I ate, I would punish myself with self mutilation. I obsessed over calorie counting that it controlled my life even into my first pregnancy. The residual effects of it still haunt me, I’m an extremely picky eater and sometimes just looking at food makes me physically ill. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “you need to eat a burger” to someone who is struggling, that’s not okay. And if you look at my pictures, I have a lot of scars. At 19, I started battling different stages and forms of skin cancers, my last surgery was this past summer. The eating disorder, the cutting, the scars and cancers plus the fact I carried three babies had really taken a toll on my body and my self esteem, but I think it’s important to understand that you are only given one body in this life, and you have to embrace it and love it. And hopefully through my story, I can inspire others to battle through their demons and start to love their bodies too.

Did anything change about how you see yourself?
For the first time in years, I felt like my own person again. Being a housewife and mom of three (2 of which are really little), I feel so consumed in doing everything for everyone else that doing something for myself made me feel like a person again! And that I am more than just a mom and wife.

What was your initial reaction to the images?
At first, it was awkward seeing pictures of me like that. I’m not a sexy person at all, I’m actually a pretty big dork that loves to laugh so seeing a sexy, sultry side of me photographed was different but in a good way. Katie did an awesome job making me look hott. I loved the images and couldn’t wait to send them to my husband.

How did you feel before your session? What were you most nervous about?
I felt anxious before. I was nervous about being the worst “model” Katie would ever have, worried about not knowing what to do and super worried about the reaction from my husband.

Any advice for others looking to do a shoot?
Just have fun with it! Browse Pinterest and get ideas of what you’re looking to do first. Katie is awesome at bringing ideas to life. It really is a lot of fun and a totally comfortable environment.

How did you feel before your session? What were you most nervous about?
I was extremely nervous. I talked to my best friend the whole ride there. I would say I was most nervous about my face being that I look different than everybody else.

What was your initial reaction to the images?
I was completely shocked, I didn't believe it was myself.

Were you happy with your hair/makeup? Why/Why not?
My hair and makeup looked amazing. With my face being different makeup is actually a hard thing for me. But she listen to exactly what I wanted and what I needed for my face not to look lopsided even more.

Did anything change about how you see yourself?
Yes, I guess we all have this view on how we think we look. But to be able to look at yourself from the outside on how other people see you makes you step back and have a different perspective.

Any advice for others looking to do a shoot?
Don't think about it. Just do it. It's completely worth it.

Miss D was a little late for her session, so our hair/makeup artist kicked booty and got her glamed up in no time. She was pretty nervous since she didn't have as much time as other girl have to warm up while they get their pamper on.. But she KILLED her session. She is gorgeous! I'm excited to share her photos with you, and some of her words about her experience..

What was your favorite part of the entire boudoir experience?
The feeling I get when I see my photos each time. I was in the new studio and while getting my makeup done besides thinking how kind and understanding everyone was, I thought —-WOW what an empowering thing for woman :) Katie is a genius!!

How did you feel after your session?
So relieved that I had it in me to go through with it. More comfortable in my skin since I can remember, confident that my husband and I were going to love this project. Mostly though very impressed of Katie who never batted an eye when I ran late, who juggled kids and work seamlessly that afternoon and the whole while was incredibly under the weather. She kept a smile on and nailed it all anyway. We woman often do that in our lives. Sometimes it’s nice to have a reminder that struggle is not yours to bear alone. Woman should be doing more to lift one another up. Katie definitely does that.

Did anything change about how you see yourself?
Volumes. There isn’t just one thing and sometimes it still seems like I’m looking at someone else. We woman get so used to how we see ourselves or how we’re thought to see ourselves throughout our life, at it can be quite a shock to have that changed for you.

Any advice for others looking to do a shoot?
The feelings are real, apprehension, not attractive enough, shy, scared, not in the budget right now (I let that one be my excuse for a year)! This is an invaluable experience . At the end of the day you can’t buy self confidence but you can definitely ask for some help getting there. This was that help for me. I think everyone deserves to have this experience at least once.

Robin was a a dream to photograph. Her sex appeal is crazy hot! Just scroll down & see for yourself...

I loved how Tori was so comfortable in front of the camera. She was just walking around the studio dancing to the jams on the speaker naked. Completely embracing her sexuality and loving the skin shes in..

It allowed me to get some CRAZY sexy images...

This girl was on FIRE!!!!

I don't get to photograph couples often, but when I do, I love the imagery that we create.

Couples are more of a challenge.. I don't only have to look at one body & pose, but I then have two. Two facial expressions I have to be aware of, two bodies to make sure they look good & flattering in the way I position them.

But then, I have even more details that I'm able to capture. Two people with emotions I'm able to get on camera.

Passion I'm able to show them. Passion they have maybe forgot about, or that they want to have in a photograph so they are able to look back on.

......and then, I can photograph them alone so they can have those images as well to share with each other.

Book your couple shoot today... You won't regret it.

What motivated you to do a Boudoir shoot?
I wanted to do something sexy for (at the time) my soon to be Husband, because since we had our son I had put on a lot of weight, everything jiggles and I have stretch marks and didn't feel the least bit sexy.

How did you feel before your session? What were you most nervous about?
I was incredibly nervous about showing my "mom body" to a total stranger considering I never showed my Husband before this shoot.

How did you feel after your session?
I felt confident for the first time since I had my son, I still have that confidence!

Any advice for others looking to do a shoot?
Get past the nerves and insecurities because it is worth it, and you will leave there feeling so much better about yourself!

Were you comfortable with your photographer? Why/Why not?
Incredibly comfortable! I had heard nothing but good things about Katie! She's a mom, she understand the insecurities a woman has after birth, she's a very body positive person and in no way judges women for anything! She made the shoot fun, so there wasn't any awkward moments

She messages me 2 weeks before her wedding hoping I could fit her in & get her, her album in time, and not only did I deliver, but we had days to spare!

Can you imagine being her husband & receiving this gift on YOUR wedding day, right before she walks down the isle!? Lucky, LUCKY man....

She chose NOT to do the high end editing because she knows how gorgeous she is.. She sees her flaws & knows that every scar or stretch mark tells her story.. 

I LOVE her body positive attitude.. I only hope that one day I can be this confident!

Confidence is sexy... And she clearly shows that..
