What is Boudoir?

If you’ve been following Jennifer Renee Photography for any amount of time, you’ll notice I talk about Boudoir and I provide you with lots of information on how to prep for a shoot, but I haven’t explained what exactly Boudoir is and what it means.

Boudoir is the French word for a woman’s bedroom.

It makes sense that a boudoir photo shoot is typically thought of as a sexy photoshoot. Clients typically wear sexy outfits

-lingerie, stockings, undergarments, dresses, etc. It doesn’t always have to be like that though! Personally, when I think of a boudoir shoot, I think of it as more of a confidence booster. While some women believe wearing sexy clothing helps them build confidence, that’s not always the case.

Lots of ladies opt to rock everyday pieces (i.e.- a tank or tee, a fitted button-down shirt, a robe, a jersey, you name it!) for their shoot, making these items instant reminders of their awesome time in front of the camera. We love your creative ideas, and hey, don’t forget – you’re a key player on your styling squad!
