The Biggest Misconceptions About Boudoir Photography

Lynne Evans, one of our star stylists, putting the final touches on our client. 

While we know that boudoir is a phenomenal confidence booster and way to showcase the beauty of any woman, there are plenty of misconceptions that keep women from taking the plunge. Whether you’re fretting over feeling like you need to bare it all or unsure about how you’ll look in front of the camera, we’re happy to lay your fears to rest as you channel your inner goddess.
You Have to Bare All
You don’t have to be nude, or even be in lingerie. Your boudoir session is customized to showcase you at your most beautiful, whatever that means to you. If your favorite old band tee and pajama bottoms make you feel like your most sensational self, there’s nothing wrong with that! At Capitol Bombshell, we will always tailor your shoot to your comfort level, outfit preferences and desires.
You Need Someone to Gift the Photos To
Having a boudoir session done as a gift to a groom, fiancé, boyfriend or someone special in your life is a wonderful idea. However, scheduling a boudoir session just for yourself is just as delightful! Stepping out of your day-to-day life and into a space where you can channel your inner vixen is a unique experience. Boudoir photos are never merely a gift to someone else. Instead, they’re a gift to yourself, and whomever you choose to share them with.

You Aren’t the Right Shape, Shade, and Style of Woman
You are enough. Regardless of what society tells you about yourself, you are enough. Boudoir is for any shape, shade, or style of woman. You are gorgeous just as you are, so you never need to worry about your beauty not coming across on camera. Leave your negativity at the door and allow our glam squad and skilled lens to amplify what makes you amazing and leave you with a lasting memory of the experience.
You Have to Be in a Bedroom
While boudoir translates literally to “a woman’s bedroom,” some of the most enticing boudoir photos aren’t taken in a bedroom at all! Your boudoir shoot can take place in a variety of settings that complement who you are, the pieces you’ve chosen to wear, and the vibe you’re trying to get across.
You Will Have Your Photos All Over the Internet
This misconception couldn’t be further from the truth. In our photo contract, we promise you that we will never share any of your photos without your written permission. We always respect the privacy of all our clients and never break that trust. The images that you see in my marketing materials and online are from clients who modeled for a specific shoot, or who granted me permission to share their shots with the world.
