    So there's this girl, and she has a boudoir photography session coming up, but she's a wee bit nervous and wants to bring some props to hold and distract her from the fact that she's pants-less. : P

    So far, she's thinking of bringing some flowers and a laptop (fiance is a computer whiz).  So please share:  What props would you bring to a boudoir session?

    I too am hoping to do a session soon and got some great advice here:

    Would you mind sharing who your photographer is? I'm in love with the styles of both Laurie Peacock and Olivia Leigh!

    I'll PM you. : )  But she's all set on outfits and accessories--just curious about some prop ideas!

    Well, since my hubby is a firefighter, I would probably bring his turnouts to somehow use as a prop.  Maybe even his boots? 

    I think hats can make for sexy props, too, so maybe a fedora or something like that?

    Be sure to bring your veil for some sexy brial shots! And lipstick, I've seen some gorgeous pics of ladies putting on lipstick.

    Hmm, your friend could bring something that reflects her personality/interests as well.  If she's into sweets, maybe a cute little cupcake to tempt with.  A favorite book... strand of pearls... smokin' hot pair of heels.  I'd probably bring the daily crossword puzzle!  I've heard that sassy music and a little wine also helps ease the nerves.

    I've seen some great (and relatively modest) shots that were tastefully done in a super-bubbly bubble bath.  I'm sure your friend will have a great time during her session.  ;o)

    I forgot props! Oops. The place I had mine at had chairs and cushy footstools to sit on and these long whispy pieces of tulle to wrap around me.

    I do share my boudoir photos with people who PM me their email address if you need some ideas =]. The lady who was shooting mine was really really good about telling me what to do and positioning me. It was a lot of "arch your back, put your shoulders back, stick your girls out" and it looked great in photos--i wasn't all hunchy

    i suggest you bring your laptop and *blog* during the shoot! i'm kidding. although it would be funny.

    flowers and laptop sound great.  how about a book? i'm thinking sexy librarian--i know, totally provincial but it could be really cute. i don't think you will need much. chances are you will feel comfortable soon into it and won't need any props besides your sexy self! have fun!

    Lol, the blogging idea is too funny.  I'm taking notes--books, lipstick, cupcakes (too cute), tulle...what a girl fest!
