Wedding Photography

The Boudoir Trend

So, what is boudoir photography exactly?

Boudoir photography is a sexy new trend that's especially popular as a wedding day gift from a bride to her groom or a great anniversary gift. Boudoir photos are usually taken wearing either just a little, or well, nothing at all. They're hardly X-rated though, but rather PG-13- as In classic pinup-Inspired pics, or what the pros call 'Implied nudes.' That means you're not wearing anything, but you're also not showing off anything either (think shot from the back, or lying on your stomach).

Who will take my pictures?

Many wedding photographers have embraced this trend. Most brides like to have the best of their boudoir photos bound in a mini album just for their hubby, a service that is one of our specialties. As a husband and wife team Kort Photo can easily provide this service discreetly with full respect for your privacy.

What does it cost?

No more than our regular session prices.

Where should I have it done?

Your own home or a borrowed home is an option. Another popular site is a posh hotel room. We come to the location of your choice at no additional charge. If all else fails, a lot can be done with just a simple black or white background. All we need is a room large enough to set up studio lights and backgrounds. Most medium size rooms will do.

What should I wear?

The most important thing - choose outfits that make you feel sexy. A good rule of thumb: Bring something white, something black, and something in a bright color so you can mix and match. A corset will create sexy curves. Don't forget shoes, jewelry, and that engagement ring. Lingerie is great if you have it, but talk to us before spending a lot of money on it. Your husbands favorite shirt or part of his uniform, with nothing on under it, can work very well.

What about hair and make-up?

Your usual hair style is best. Make-up should be just a little heavier than you would wear to go out for the evening. This is not “glamour shots” down at the mall. Boudoir images are you, looking your best in a provocative way.
