Happy hump day Sweet Tooth blog readers! Grab a cup of coffee, a piece of candy and read up on some great options for your next boudoir photography session location.
The second most frequent question I get asked, after “What should I wear?,” is “Where do I get my boudoir pictures taken … ?” Welp, thanks for asking, there are many options, many fabulous options:
- The first option is a hotel. Any hotel will do, but often “boutique hotels” are more intimate, are usually more luxurious and are a bit more quirky in nature. The advantages to having your boudoir photo session in a hotel are many. For instance, your bedroom might not be so clean, intimate, luxurious OR quirky. Another advantage to holding your session in a hotel room is that it is a “new” scene, thus mysterious. Your hubby will appreciate that you went to extraordinary measures for these intimate photographs. Also, if you intend your boudoir pics to be a surprise gift and you live with your significant other – it’s simply easier to shout, “I’m headed out to the mall!” rather than coordinate a time when your hubby won’t be home and possibly get caught (but how fun is it to live dangerously!?). Finally and most importantly, it’s just plain fun and exciting to be in a hotel room.
- The second option is my studio. If you’re thinking, “Make me Dita Von Teese please!” and we are shooting pin up photography specifically, heading to my studio near Boston is definitely the best option. Also, my studio has the same advantage as above regarding coordinating a time with your significant other to be out of your house (…but how fun is it to live dangerously!?). We can create an intimate scene in a studio, but (I hesitate to write this), it may feel more forced. It’s painful to write that- I am working on it and will have some great news come Summer 2010 regarding transformation of a studio space. Stay tuned!
- The third option is in your bedroom, or home. This option most definitely has it’s advantages. For instance, you are probably very comfortable in your own home. A big advantage to holding the boudoir session in your home is price. If you’re on a budget, knocking out the cost of a hotel room means you can splurge more on romantic photography gifts and other eye candy! Also, when your significant other sees the resulting album of your divine boudoir portraits he/she will be FLOORED that you managed to pull it off in your shared space and will get an absolute charge out of the fact you did that in our home. In fact for those sessions held at a hotel, I often advise bringing something from home to place in the ‘scene.’
