Depending on what type of boudoir shoot you are doing will determine what you will be bringing. Yes, there are actually quite a few different styles of boudoir photography. Most people just think of the most common, which is the boudoir shoot that involves your typical lingerie and matching bra and panties. That is how boudoir photography began and what it's main definition was because boudoir is French. There is also bridal boudoir, which is a really great gift to give your hubby to be the night before your wedding. There is also maternity, pin-up, fetish/erotic, outdoor, nude, implied nude, the list goes on and on. You can take almost any session and make it a boudoir session.
I've had clients brings a few suitcases of stuff to sessions and then I've also had clients bring a backpack with a few things. There is nothing wrong with either of them. Okay, so bringing 3 suitcases is a bit excessive. It's best to bring your favorite outfits and stick to them. It'll really help since I have different boudoir session packages that are different amounts of time. My smallest package starts at 1 hour and the largest package is 3 hours. I also offer a session called "Boudoir Party" and it is up to 5 hours. And I know that I personally want to use all the time we can wisely and not picking out what you are going to wear. If you can't decide you can always send me pictures. Don't feel weird but it's best to send me pictures with the outfits on. Seeing an outfit on a hanger vs. wearing it are 2 completely different things.
As I said earlier most people think about matching women in matching bra and panties when they hear boudoir photography. That is definitely a good thing to bring because it works and it is classic. But not every outfit you bring has to be lingerie. I will list some of the different items to give you some ideas and also other things to bring to your boudoir session. This list is not a list of EVERYTHING you HAVE to bring. These are just ideas.
