Wondering what to wear to your boudoir shoot? Where do you shop for new lingerie? How will you pose? What will you pose with? What kind of pictures will Jeri Hoag Photography take? Great news! JHP is here to help, beginning to end – from what to wear to how to pose, we have your back. This post aims to give you some general information and insight into clothing options for your boudoir session with Jeri. Once you schedule your intimate boudoir session with Jeri Hoag Photography, you will receive a preparation guide which includes detailed clothing suggestions.
Before you decide what to wear, you may wish to settle on the vibe you want for your boudoir photography session. Is it a gift for your soon to be spouse, or are you celebrating your 30th wedding anniversary? Then wear white bridal lingerie and feature a strand of pearls with a garter and stockings, or pose in your husband’s work suit coat and tie. Are you and your partner die-hard sports fans? Then wear your team’s jersey during your session. Are you newly divorced? Then maybe you wish to be photographed in black lingerie with your favorite cocktail in hand. Or maybe you wish to feature different sides of yourself or phases of your life in one session, and that’s okay too. JHP wants who you are to shine through in your images.
Whatever your aim in taking these photos – love of self, to celebrating years of marriage and partnership, understanding why you chose boudoir is paramount in deciding what to wear and pose with.
During your session we want you to be as comfortable as possible and to feel like you. Afterall, while you may find yourself more dolled up than usual for the shoot, we want your images to reflect the realest version of you possible. While you can wear just about anything for your personalized luxury session, below you will find a list of suggestions to get you started:
- Lingerie
- One piece teddy
- Bra and underwear set (lacy or sporty)
- Corsets
- Garter belt with stockings
- Off-shoulder sweater
- Jeans
- Leather or jean jacket
- Knee-high boots or high heels
- Button up shirt
- Short cocktail dress
- Sentimental items such as bridal lingerie
- Crop tops
- Accessories
Photographs may be taken in teddies, brassieres and panties, corsets, and more. Kimonos and robes add layers which helps to add dimension. You may also wish to base what you wear on what you wish to highlight. For example, if you wish to lengthen your legs you may want to wear something high waisted and pair it with high heels.
If you wish to feature clothing in your images, try pairing jeans with your favorite leather jacket, or high waisted panties with a vintage jean jacket. You may prefer to wear your partner’s favorite flannel with a pair of knee-high boots. Or maybe the vibe of your shoot is elevated class and formality. If this is the case you may wish to wear a cocktail dress with heels.
Sentimental items such as your bridal veil can be worn with a silk nightie. If you wish to highlight your most precious piece of jewelry you might consider wearing something sheer and neutral, something that highlights the sentimental piece, but complements and outlines your form.
Accessories can range from jewelry to hats or gloves. If you saved the shoes you wore on your wedding day, consider posing in those wearing only your husband’s tie.

In whatever you choose to wear, Jeri Hoag Photography wants you to feel like your best self. We want you to feel empowered, beautiful, sexy, and special. Most importantly, we want you to feel self-love. Women give so much of themselves to others – their partners, children, employers, and the list goes on. As society increases the demand and list of expectations that it places on women, consider your luxury boudoir photography session to be a time to focus on yourself and who you are aside from the above. This shoot will provide you with the chance to prioritize yourself and the love you deserve to give to yourself daily – the self-love that often gets set aside so that you can simply get through the busyness of each day.
