Bourbon Boudoir Photo Shoot

Are you ready to spice things up and add a touch of personality to your dark and moody boudoir photography session? Look no further than a bourbon and boudoir (and blues if you have them like Stacey here) photo shoot. This combination of earthy tones and sultry boudoir posing proved to be a great combination while shooting this at this dark and moody Cincinnati photography studio, Mill Street Studios.

Incorporate Something That Your Partner Loves

To add a personal touch to your boudoir photo session, why not incorporate something your partner loves? Whether it’s a favorite piece of jewelry, a special accessory, a meaningful prop or something that plays on their interests it’s makes it that much more intimate and memorable. Encourage your partner to join in on the fun and share in the excitement of thinking up ideas, if the boudoir photo session isn’t a surprise of course.

Add Some Drama with Fake Smoke Overlays

For that extra touch of mystery and allure, consider the use of overlays. As a Cincinnati Boudoir Photographer this makes the options limitless in creating a dramatic and cinematic feel to the images. In other words, don’t go lighting up cigars in the Cincinnati photo studios ladies! My next one I’m really thinking of doing is this awesome graveyard/halloween one I’ve gotten recently and of course the shower droplets for when we aren’t in a studio with water.

Creating a Dark and Moody Atmosphere in Boudoir Photography

Dark and Moody Color Palette + Wardrobe

When it comes to dark and moody boudoir photography, your choice of lingerie can make all the difference. Opt for dark and moody colors and earthy tones if you are going to do the boudoir boudoir inspired photo shoot. Whether you prefer lace, silk or satin choose pieces in this pallet to make your boudoir boudoir shoot feel confident and beautiful. I include client closet access into my boudoir experiences, but clients are invited to bring any of their favorite pieces as well.

Boudoir Poses and Expressions

Boudoir poses that convey a sense of sensuality, mystery and confidence are my favorite for dark and moody boudoir photo shoots. I love experimenting with different angles, poses and expressions to create dynamic and captivating images that evoke intrigue and move your eye through the image. One thing my clients hear me talking about is “making triangles.” This boudoir posing tip helps to elongate the limbs and move your eye through the image.
