1. Start With Your Confidence Staples

Pick the pieces that already make you feel powerful. This might be:

  • Your favourite lingerie set.

  • A leather jacket that screams “I’m a rockstar.”

  • A well-loved pair of suspenders or a perfectly tailored blazer.

  • Or just your birthday suit, baby.


2. Embrace Your Unique Style

Forget “rules” about what’s traditionally femme, masc, or androgynous. Wear whatever the hell feels like YOU. To get your creativity flowing, here are some tailored ideas for every expression:


Femme Expression Suggestions

  • Lingerie & Lace: Bras, panties, bodysuits, corsets, garters, or teddies in luxurious fabrics like satin, silk, or lace.

  • Soft Layers: Sheer robes, flowing kimonos, or vintage slips for a romantic vibe.

  • Dramatic Glam: Sparkly gowns, thigh-high stockings, or a fur stole for a goddess energy.

  • Everyday Sexy: Crop tops, high-waisted shorts, or tank tops paired with heels or barefoot.

  • Accessories: Layered necklaces, earrings, delicate gloves, or statement heels.


Masculine Expression Suggestions

  • Tailored Pieces: Blazers, button-ups, vests, or tailored trousers for a sharp, confident look.

  • Casual Cool: Jeans (unbuttoned or with suspenders), leather jackets, or graphic tees.

  • Edgy Vibes: Combat boots, ripped denim, or bomber jackets with a bare chest or tank underneath.

  • Old-School Dapper: Pinstripes, bow ties, suspenders, and oxford shoes.

  • Accessories: Pocket watches, cufflinks, fedoras, or leather gloves.


Androgynous Expression Suggestions

  • Structured Play: Pair a bralette with high-waisted trousers or a fitted blazer with nothing underneath.

  • Oversized Layers: Slouchy sweaters, unbuttoned shirts, or boyfriend-style jackets paired with lingerie or nothing at all.

  • Monochrome Magic: Black or neutral-toned ensembles with clean lines and subtle textures.

  • Bold Combos: Try mixing femme and masc elements, like fishnet tights under tailored shorts or lace gloves with a leather vest.

  • Accessories: Minimalist jewellery, suspenders, belts, or chunky boots.


3. Don’t Box Yourself In

Your style doesn’t have to stick to one lane. Want to pair a tailored suit with a red lip? Love mixing lingerie with combat boots? Hell yes, let’s do it. Your expression is yours to define, and your session is all about celebrating your fluidity.


4. Bring Variety

Pack a mix of outfits to explore all sides of yourself:

  • Lingerie: From lace bodysuits to bold, strappy designs.

  • Everyday Looks: Jeans, tank tops, or oversized tees with personal significance.

  • Statement Pieces: Leather jackets, thigh-high boots, or tailored coats.

  • Accessories: Hats, gloves, or bold jewellery that reflects your personality.

Pro Tip: Bring 4–5 outfits you love, and we’ll mix and match them to create different vibes.


5. Accessorize to Elevate Your Look

No matter your style, accessories are the cherry on top:

  • Jewellery: Play with layered necklaces, bold earrings, or minimalist pieces.

  • Shoes: Thigh-high boots, combat boots, heels, or barefoot—it’s all stunning.

  • Extras: Suspenders, ties, or even meaningful props that showcase your individuality.


6. Think About the Energy You Want to Embody

What vibe are you channelling? Here are a few ideas to inspire your session:

  • Soft & Romantic: Lace, flowing fabrics, and natural textures.

  • Bold & Powerful: Leather, tailored pieces, and dark colours.

  • Playful & Cheeky: Crop tops, fishnets, and quirky props.

  • Elegant & Timeless: Silky robes, corsets, and vintage-inspired looks.


7. The Magic of Layering

Layers add depth and versatility to your photos.

  • Pair a blazer or leather jacket with lingerie or bare skin.

  • Sheer robes over tailored trousers or a bodysuit create drama.

  • Suspenders or belts add subtle texture and edge.


8. Nudity is Welcome (If You Want)

Some of the most powerful images are the simplest. Whether you go for full nudity, implied nudity under a sheet, or leave it all to the imagination, we’ll create a safe space for you to explore.


9. Practical Tips for Session Day

  • Fit Check: Choose pieces that fit comfortably and avoid tight items that leave marks.

  • Colours: Deep & rich tones, jewel tones, black, white, and neutrals photograph beautifully. Brights work too if they fit your vibe - why not throw some neon fishnets in there? ;)

  • Personal Touch: Add items with sentimental value, like a partner’s shirt or something tied to your story.


10. The Golden Rule - What to Wear to Your Boudoir Session

Wear whatever the fuck makes you feel powerful, authentic, and like the work of art you are. This is your moment to celebrate all the beautiful layers of YOU—masc, femme, and everything in between.


I can’t wait to see what you bring. Let’s create magic together.


Love,
