Intimate outdoor shoots

What is an intimate outdoor shoot?

An intimate outdoor shoot is basically an “outdoor boudoir shoot”. As we know, Boudoir photography is a photography session that takes place in the Boudoir, that is the bedroom, and focuses on capturing sensual, intimate, and often suggestive images of an individual, typically for their personal enjoyment or as a gift for a partner. But since this outdoor shoot is NOT being done in a bedroom it is technically not a boudoir shoot. However The term “boudoir” now also refers to a style of photography that aims to highlight the subject’s beauty, confidence, and vulnerability in a tasteful and artistic manner. Hence an oxymoronic term like outdoor boudoir shoot still works.

In an intimate outdoor shoot, the subject is typically posed in outdoor settings such as gardens, beaches, forests, urban landscapes, or other picturesque locations. The aim is to combine the natural beauty of the surroundings with the subject’s allure to create visually appealing and sensual images. Natural light and the outdoor environment contribute to the aesthetic of these shoots.

It’s important to note that outdoor boudoir photography is intended to empower the subject and create images that they feel confident and comfortable with. The emphasis is on capturing the subject’s personality and sensuality while maintaining a respectful and tasteful tone. These kind of shoots are often carried out by professional photographers who specialize in boudoir or portrait photography. It’s not done to get a kick out of public nudity.

Outdoor boudoir photography allows for a more unique and unconventional approach compared to traditional indoor boudoir sessions, as it integrates the beauty of nature and the outdoors into the images.

What time of day do outdoor sessions happen?

The timeline of an outdoor boudoir session would be different from a typical Boudoir session. We plan it in such a way that we do the shoot when the light will be most beautiful at your chosen location. Outdoor sessions are extra amazing at sunrise, late afternoon, and sunset. We can keep some time aside for hair and makeup and then do the shoot. The overall time taken is the same as an indoor boudoir shoot.

What happens if there is bad weather?

That is always a risk with any outdoor shoot. Part of doing a session outdoors means that there can be a risk of poor weather! If it rains or becomes stormy, we can change the timing of our session or reschedule to another day, or have an indoor location in mind in order to keep the photoshoot on the same day as planned. Typically in Delhi, the months with rain and storm showers are July and August. It doesn’t really rain in the other months. But if it does, we can always have a contingency plan in place.

Privacy and comfort in outdoor boudoir sessions

One has to make sure one feels safe/comfortable with the idea of taking pictures in a public space, amidst nature, where some people might chance upon the shoot. That is the nature of an intimate outdoor shoot. For those who aren’t comfortable with this, there’s always the regular Boudoir shoot. At the end of it all, it has to make you feel affirmed and impeccable. Your safety is super important so we have to make sure that you feel safe/comfortable in your chosen location for the outdoor intimate shoot.

There are people who choose more remote locations, quieter times of day (like sunrise), or plan more covered-up outfits (like a swimsuit instead of lingerie, or adding sheer robes/cardigans) to help them feel comfortable during their outdoor intimate shoot. There are people who aren’t as conscious about other people seeing them in a scenario like this. Still we always have to be prepared on how to handle passersby. For example, for outdoor boudoir clients who want to incorporate nudity into a session, that always involves choosing a quieter or more remote location, and keeping a sheet or robe handy so that the client can cover up if people walk nearby.

What if I’m nervous about my privacy in an outdoor setting?

It’s absolutely natural to feel nervous or exposed during a boudoir photo shoot, especially in an outdoor setting.

But keep in mind that boudoir photography is all about celebrating your unique beauty and personality. It’s important to choose a place that will not only make you feel beautiful and fun, but. also a place that will be sheltered from onlookers. May be you can have a few friends/spouses on the lookout who can keep an eye on the perimeter and make sure no passersby walk in the direction of the shoot. The process of capturing beautiful and intimate moments in a stunning outdoor setting will yield stunning results.

Intimate outdoor sessions are done for limited time periods in the year

Intimate outdoor shoots will always depend on the local weather. Since I am based in Delhi, the best months to do it would be September to April. The shoot can be done during the monsoon months as well but it will highly depend on the humidity levels and rain predictions. As such cloudy weather makes for good pictures.

Are intimate outdoor shoots done differently from regular Boudoir shoots?

Outdoor boudoir sessions get scheduled a little bit differently than indoor boudoir sessions. Instead of a precise timeline and a controlled space, the outdoor session has to be a little bit more fluid and organic!

Once we choose a photoshoot date, we block out a large window of time for a few daylight hours. As we get closer to the date, we pick an exact starting time based on the weather and light/clouds. The other things work the same as a regular indoor boudoir shoot.

What do you wear for an outside boudoir photo shoot?

Dress according to the weather. If the shoot is being done in winters, well, make sure you are covered up at least when a particular pose is not being shot. For summer months some flowy dress or light layers can be worn. And of course for the actual photoshoot, it works pretty much the same way as an indoor one. However you might want to be less scantily clad comparatively, depending on the location of the intimate outdoor shoot that you choose.

If you’re shooting in colder weather, consider bringing a cozy blanket or jacket to keep you warm between poses.

What is the Purpose of an Outdoor Boudoir shoot or an intimate outdoor shoot?

The purpose of an outdoor boudoir photoshoot is to capture the natural beauty and sensuality of the subject in an outdoor setting. The right photographer can create stunning images that amalgamate the beauty of nature with the allure of the subject, providing a unique and memorable experience for one. Whether it’s a secluded forest, a picturesque beach, or a romantic garden, the outdoor setting can add an extra layer of intimacy and romance to the photos.

In conclusion, outdoor boudoir photography can be a truly unique and beautiful experience. By following all the information shared above, I hope you can create unforgettable outdoor boudoir photos that capture both the magic of the natural world as well as the intimacy and sensuality of boudoir photography. Find the right photographer, Trust in the process, empower your self, and enjoy the experience of creating stunning outdoor boudoir photos that you’ll always cherish.

Is Boudoir Photography Safe?

Well, everything can be safe and unsafe. However you can make sure that your Boudoir shoot is safe for you. As a photography genre, Boudoir photography has no physical or mental harm associated with it. However, because Boudoir photography is an intimate activity where the focus is on being sensual, and you will be at your most scantily clad in front of a stranger, it can make a woman feel vulnerable and unsafe when working with members of a photography team.

Since a Boudoir shoot typically involves minimal clothing, sexy poses, and lingerie changes — not to forget a private setting where a make up artist or a hair stylist is going to be touching you, it’s imperative to hire a legitimate photographer who can make their clients feel safe and make it an enjoyable experience.

Here’s how to make sure that your Boudoir photography shoot is safe for you

1. Meet your photographer in person

Choose a public place for a meetup. Meeting them will give you an idea of their personality and professionalism by how they conduct themselves around you. If a physical meeting is not possible before the shoot (if you plan to travel to a different city for the shoot) or due to long distances, then a zoom meeting can always be done online. Meeting your photographer or interacting with them will also establish a rapport and start a process of increasing your comfort level before the shoot.

2. Ask a lot of questions

When you do that, you can assess whether the person actually HAS experience as a Boudoir photographer or is meeting you in person for some other nefarious purpose. Anyone who’s been doing this professionally would already know the answers to your queries without fumbling. Their experience will be very evident in their answers.

3. Choose a photographer with an all female team if that makes you comfortable

Many women feel far safer if women professionals are handling something as private as a Boudoir shoot. If you are comfortable with a male photographer taking your images or with a male makeup artist or hair stylist doing hair and make up for you then please go for it. There are many male professionals who will absolutely go out of their way to make women feel comfortable. But if you feel that an all female team will put you much more at ease then go for it. In our case, we have an all women team doing the Boudoir shoot.

4. Make sure your photographer is actually a Boudoir photographer

There are many photographers out there who are wedding or fashion or “something else” photographers. However they add Boudoir to their website SEO and you land there. When contacted, they may even agree to do a Boudoir shoot. It’s a good idea to Verify whether your photographer really is a boudoir photographer or just claiming to be one. You can also check their credentials. Do they have open social media presence? Or are they just lying from behind a website that’s attracting people for reasons other than Boudoir photography? There are a lot of perverts out there who will do anything to get a kick.

5. Choose a 3rd party reliable location for the shoot

Do NOT do the Boudoir shoot at home. One may feel it’s safer at home, but not only does shooting in one’s own bedroom not make good boudoir pictures or usually have proper natural light, it’s recommended not to invite strangers into your personal space at the outset.

6. While choosing a hotel room for the Boudoir shoot, choose a reputable brand

Don’t go in for those sleazy OYO rooms or the hotels which let out rooms by the hour for couples. It’s best to invest in a good quality hotel room or suite where you know you will surely be safe. And that the staff will take care of you. If a photographer is doing the shoot at a studio, verify onsite location before the shoot. If the photographer is authentic, the space would be public enough and female staff would be present to make women feel safe.

7. Ask if you can bring a friend

A legitimate photographer will allow you to bring someone along for your safety. They may have rules for that person, but they will allow it.

In some cases, the friend may be required to stay in a waiting area. But they would be close enough that if anything were to make you feel uncomfortable, they would be there is an instant.

During my shoots, I don’t typically allow guests to accompany the client especially not into the shooting area. It can make things awkward when the client is posing. Likewise, children are not allowed because of the nature of a boudoir photoshoot. But in general, if a female client insists that she needs a female friend, sister, mother, aunt, as long as they are providing positive support, bring them along! But anyone who can possibly disrupt the shoot will not be allowed.

8. Be clear about the privacy or usage of your images

Always discuss this aspect with the photographer before the shoot. Once you are clear about it, sign a contract with the photographer. I always make sure this is mentioned in the Memorandum of Understanding document signed by both parties before the shoot.

9. Don’t Go For The Cheapest Option

A boudoir shoot experience is a luxury. It is also a very vulnerable time. Pricing will of course always play a part in your decision, but going for the cheapest option might turn out to be counterproductive later.

A professional photographer has put time into learning their craft. They incur costs for setting up a business, for equipment, for their website, marketing and for the staff they have to pay. They incur costs even when they provide you consultation for free. They need to make a profit to stay in business and they provide a professional service.

Pricing is of course important, but if that’s the only criteria, it’s best to save over a period of time and then hire a professional boudoir photographer. You will have a much better experience.

Hope the above tips help and using them, you would be able to do your due diligence when selecting a boudoir photographer to work with. Here are the various policies and processes we follow for our photography shoots.

How do I gift my husband Boudoir photos

So you have planned and done a boudoir shoot secretly and now all that’s left is the surprise element of how to turn it into a gift for your better half! Here’s how.

Boudoir Gifting Ideas

Many people get boudoir shoots done for their own selves. But many do it as a surprise gift for their partners too! You can get pretty creative with how you go about it. Here are a few options.

Photo Albums

The fantastic thing about photo albums or photo books as we modern people call them, is that, they are not the boring cheesy albums we used to have as children. These days, photo albums are highly customizable and can be made for any occasion. You can even add a favorite quote or song lyric, perhaps a meaningful poem or even your wedding vows. It’s basically a scrap book with a lot of photos. You can even purchase pocket sized versions for the traveling guy in your life. or the large sizes ones to keep in the bedside table drawer. Give it to your love while wearing one of the outfits from the shoot and let him unwrap you!

Canvas or Metal Prints

Whether they are decorative 24×17 size prints or the larger than life sized prints, they sure look good when displayed. Choose a photo that you want to proudly display. It also should be one that you don’t mind the occasional person who you’ve allowed to enter your bedroom/closet/master bath to see. It could be something where you are not recognisable, and you choose who you share the info with about the print being yours. Or it could be something where you ARE showing off your body to anyone who chances upon it, depending on your social relationships. Canvas and metal prints are great and look fantastic printed as sets of two (diptych) or three (triptych) or more, and they come in a variety of sizes.

A Pen Drive

If your better half is constantly on his computer, or just a techie in general, a customizable pen drive is a great, low budget and practical gift. Is he an Avid reader? Sneak a tiny printed postcard into the next chapter of his book or behind the first fold of the newspaper. Or in the gym bag, or in a clothes drawer or in his shaving kit. The possibilities are endless, and the surprise of wondering when he’ll find the next one is worth it.

Keepsake Box

Matted silk prints give the photos that extra “oomph”. Keep a small sized collection in a luxurious keepsake box from which images can be pulled out on a whim. They serve as a reminder of how beautiful you are and how lucky he is. The two of you knowing what is inside the keepsake box, while having this secret from others is quite exciting.

Consider gifting him a shoot

If you still haven’t done the shoot, consider gifting him a couple shoot along with you. You can arrange everything and surprise him with a glamorous day out where he just has to turn up and be a part of the shoot with you.

Check out our shop section for options to purchase such gifts.

Intimate Honeymoon shoot

What is an intimate honeymoon shoot?

Honeymoon shoots are a way for couples to celebrate their newlywed status and capture the joy of their post-wedding getaway in a visually appealing and professional manner. The location and style of the shoot can vary based on the couple’s preferences, ranging from scenic outdoor landscapes to intimate indoor settings.

Since the term “boudoir” now also refers to a style of photography that aims to highlight the subject’s beauty, confidence, and vulnerability in a tasteful and artistic manner, an “intimate honeymoon shoot” in this context refers to the “style” of images. It refers to a photography session that involves creating images with a focus on sensuality, sexuality, and intimate moments. Hence such a shoot is more erotic in nature. These shoots often depict individuals or couples in various stages of undress or engaged in suggestive poses, with the aim of evoking feelings of desire, passion, and intimacy. The shoot does not have to be for newlyweds only. And it does not need to be right after getting married either. There is no age or right time for it. All times are right. It just signifies a more erotic and suggestive style of posing compared to a typical Boudoir shoot. And of course a honeymoon shoot will always be with a couple and not for a solo subject.

Such Erotic shoots can encompass a range of styles and levels of explicitness, depending on the comfort level and preferences of the participants. Some erotic shoots may be more artistic and tasteful, emphasizing the beauty of the human body and exploring the dynamics of desire and emotion. Others might be more explicit and cater to more specific preferences.

It’s important to note that the distinction between erotic photography and pornography can be subjective and culturally influenced. However Intimate honeymoon shoots are NOT pornography. While erotic photography aims to convey sensuality and intimacy as a form of artistic expression which is elegant, pornography is often more focused on explicit crude sexual content intended for arousal. The purpose, intent (private display vs public) and artistry in both is completely different. Erotic photography may involve implied nudity, artistic nudity, or intimate poses. And explicit sexual poses may or may not be a part of such a shoot at all. Those who wish to capture the beauty of the human body in an artistic manner, are most welcome.

It’s important to note that the line between these categories can be blurry, and definitions can vary from person to person and culture to culture. What one person considers artistic and erotic, another might view as explicit and pornographic. Ultimately, the distinction between the two often comes down to the intention of the creator, the content’s reception, and the context in which it is presented.

50 shades style Boudoir shoot

Ever since the 50 shades of grey books and films came out, many women want to get a 50 shades inspired shoot done for themselves. We are always happy to create any naughty images or “50 Shades inspired shots” during your boudoir session. We will always put you totally at ease and we ensure your images will be arty and tasteful, even when kinky. Your entire shoot can be a full Fifty Shades Boudoir shoot experience or we can have just a few shots at the end of a regular boudoir shoot – it’s entirely up to you. A range of adventurous props can be used during the shoot.

Privacy and comfort in in intimate honeymoon shoot sessions

One has to make sure both the people who are getting the shoot done, feel comfortable with the idea of taking somewhat erotic pictures of themselves. For those who aren’t comfortable with this, there’s always the regular Boudoir shoot. At the end of it all, it has to make you feel affirmed and impeccable. If it helps you can go in for a traditional Boudoir shoot with a few shots of sensual nature thrown at the end of it.

What if I’m nervous about my shoot?

It’s absolutely natural to feel nervous or exposed during a boudoir photo shoot.

But keep in mind that boudoir photography is all about celebrating your unique beauty and personality. It’s empowering and uplifting. The emphasis on increased confidence as a result of the shoot, is much more than that on the end result of keepsakes.

In conclusion, intimate honemyoon photography can be a truly unique and beautiful experience. By following all the information shared above, I hope you can create unforgettable and stunning boudoir photos that capture both the magic of your couple chemistry as well as the intimacy and sensuality of boudoir photography. Find the right photographer, Trust in the process, empower your self, and enjoy the experience of creating stunning images that you’ll always cherish.

What is a Boudoir Shoot?

A boudoir shoot is a luxury and glamorous photography session that is done in a bedroom setting and focuses on capturing intimate and sensual images of an individual, typically in a private setting. The term “boudoir” is derived from the French word for a woman’s private dressing room or bedroom, and the purpose of this type of photography is to create tasteful and alluring images that showcase the subject’s beauty, confidence, and personality.

What happens in a regular Boudoir shoot

Preparation and Planning for a boudoir shoot:

- Choose a Photographer: Select a photographer who specializes in boudoir photography and whose style aligns with your vision.
- Consultation: Have a consultation with the photographer to discuss your preferences, comfort level, and any specific ideas you have in mind. We give free consultation before the shoot commences.

Location for a boudoir shoot:

- Select a Setting: Boudoir shoots can take place in various settings, such as a bedroom, or elegant hotel room or suite. We typically avoid private homes because they are often full of clutter and dingy areas. It is best to do it in a hotel suite where furniture, bedsheets and other related housekeeping is done by the staff.

Wardrobe and Styling for a boudoir shoot:

- Outfit Selection: Choose outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful. This can include lingerie, dresses, robes, or any clothing that complements the desired aesthetic.
- Accessories and props: There can be many props that can be used during a boudoir shoot. Most would already be a part of your daily life and you might want to purchase some. There is no hard and fast rule for what props have to be used during a shoot. We provide guidance on all possibilities.
- Hair and Makeup: Professional hair and makeup services are often recommended to ensure you look and feel your best. We provide an all women team to do hair and makeup on the day of the shoot if you should so choose.

Boudoir Photography Session:

- Posing Guidance: The photographer will guide you through various poses and expressions to create a variety of shots that highlight your best features. In our case, the photographer is part of the all women team to maximise your comfort level.
- Comfort and Consent: A reputable photographer will prioritize your comfort and boundaries, ensuring that you feel safe and respected throughout the session. Our session is done only after written consent and agreement about various things in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) document signed by both parties.

Photography Style for a boudoir shoot:

- Lighting: Boudoir photography often involves using soft, flattering lighting to create a sensual and intimate atmosphere. We do all our shoots in natural light, hence we recommend hotel suites equipped with floor to ceiling windows.
- Composition: The photographer may focus on close-ups, body curves, and facial expressions to capture a range of emotions and create captivating images. We decide poses before hand and leave some room for on the spot creativity as well.

Editing and Retouching in a boudoir shoot:

- Image Selection: After the session, the photographer will select the best images to be edited.
- Editing: Basic editing techniques, such as color correction, skin smoothing, and enhancing details, are applied to enhance the final images.

Image Delivery after a boudoir shoot:

- Viewing and Selection for printing: You’ll have the opportunity to view the edited images and select the ones you’d like to get printed for styling in your own private space.
- Delivery: The final images are delivered to you digitally and also in print, depending on the package you choose.

It’s important to communicate openly with your photographer, set clear boundaries, and choose someone whose work and approach align with your comfort level and artistic vision. Boudoir photography is about celebrating and embracing your body and personality, and a skilled photographer will create a safe and empowering environment to capture stunning images.

What is a Boutique photography experience?

Treating ourselves to, or giving someone else the gift of stunning images of the highest quality gives one the chance to cherish and enjoy the most memorable moments of ones lives. There is no better way of preserving one’s youthful looks forever. We were all younger by a day yesterday.

This is what my boudoir photography sessions will give you: the excitement of taking home images that you will cherish forever, having experienced a partnership with a professional who works to high professional standards. This is what my boutique boudoir photography service can give you.

My photographic style is unique, creative and contemporary.

In my images I strive to capture the spontaneity of the most elemental emotions humans feel. I use contemporary photography to capture and highlight the tenderness of every pose and gesture.

Why is a boutique boudoir photography experience worth the money?

Why not just ask your friend to take a few photos with their phone? Or set up a tripod with a phone or a camera and capture your intimate moments? Because your story matters too much. Because while a smartphone is awesome for everyday moments, you deserve a boutique boudoir photography experience that you’ll remember forever. And, because your images will be with you forever, hung carefully on the walls of your private bedroom, or sealed away from prying eyes into a safe. A boutique photographer will always be a true investment, but when you consider the other things you might spend your hard earned money on, photos that preserve you at your best, are one of the few things that will hold a lifelong impact.

What happens during a Boudoir Photography shoot

Each of our boudoir photography sessions takes place in a gorgeous suite at a high-end hotel. Before the shoot we will be consulting you on the attire, props, do’s and don’ts related to the session. We will also be discussing a few poses so that this will make planning the shoot easy. Before the shoot , we’ll meet physically or on a virtual video call, so that you are comfortable with your photographer and don’t spend the photography time on the big day, in getting comfortable in front of a stranger.

Basically, we want you up and ready, walking into your boudoir photo session feeling fully confident. It’s ok to feel nervous about the shoot especially since it’s a first time experience for many people. But at every step of the way, we try to ensure that you feel comfortable. IF you have chosen a package with makeup and hairstyling, then we will start the day with that. After this the photography will commence in private. The only people in the room will be you and the female photographer. If touchup to the makeup is needed then the makeup artist or hair stylist may enter the room. Finally after the shoot is done, the edited images will be delivered to you in 5-6 weeks.
