What should I bring to my session?
I have a few props on hand in the studio, but I encourage you to bring your own wardrobe and props. During your consultation we will go over some ideas to get your thoughts flowing on different possibilities to make your session sexy and unique. I typically tell ladies to bring an entire suitcase if they want to, that way we have lots of options! Here are a few ideas on popular wardrobe and props:
- Those “booty ” jeans or pants your significant other goes gaga over!
- Leather jackets or tops that can open up to show some cleavage.
- Lingerie… all types, just bring what you feel the sexiest in and we’ll go through everything.
- Boy shorts panties.
- Corsets (Yes, mistress?).
- Fishnet or thigh high stockings.
- Short skirts.
- Sports related, work related or personal interest wardrobe or props (military uniform, sports jersey, fireman’s jacket, work shirt, tie, footballs, guns, guitars, snowboards, surfboards, helmets, roller-skates).
- Jewelry, boots, gloves and hats are always fun accessories to add to shots (you wouldn't believe how versatile a really long pearl necklace can be). Heels are a must for any boudoir shoot (not required but a GOOD idea).
- Also, please feel free to bring a robe from home to wear in between wardrobe changes, etc…..

I really want to do a session with Bella Notte Boudoir Photography, where do we go from here?
Once we decide to work together, we choose a date/time for your shoot. I will provide a portrait contract and invoice for a retainer which is required at the time of scheduling your session in order to hold your preferred session date/time and allows us to get going on conceptualizing your shoot. We then get to work styling your shoot! Once you find outfits, we discuss set concepts--what will most convey your personality and style. We plan props, wardrobe and accessories to complement that look all in advance. Pinterest is a fantastic outlet for these ideas. We shoot on your chosen date!
