1.) Find Lingerie that makes You Feel Beautiful

The most exciting part of this shoot for me was ordering my Lingerie! I chose to customize a three piece set from Impish Lee, a woman owned start-up based in Brooklyn. I was able to go online and customize the lace for my skin tone, the fabrics and prints and even the little embellishments. They make beautiful items for women of all sizes (girls, you’re in for a treat, I’ve got a gift card up for grabs down below!)
Robe: Impish Lee | Bra: Impish Lee | Lace Pencil Skirt: Impish Lee
I wore a high waist panty with this lace skirt, but you can pair it with whatever you want to (or not!)

So beautiful! A bourdoir photoshops is definitely something I’ve always wanted to do. It’s really nice to see that it can be done without having to spend hundreds of dollars on a professional photographer.
Exactly!!

This was absolutely gorgeous! So tastefully done and you look great. I have always wanted to do something like this but tip #8 has been the exact reason I have always told myself no. After watching this I want to get some lingerie that makes me feel beautiful and do a little photo shoot myself. Your blog is so inspirational. As always thanks for sharing.
Girl #8 almost got me too… but I said NO MORE! lol

Thanks for writing this post. I’m sure there are others besides me, who have been curious about a boudoir shoot, even considered doing one, but weren’t sure what to wear (this would be me!). I still think I need to lose weight before I do one, though…
Don’t wait on you weight, doll! xx
I think it would be a lot of fun to do one!! Its definitely a maybe lol
Good start!!

Omg!! So dope!! I always wanted to do one as well! I will definitely consider it!!! Would you say location has a lot to do with the shoot as well? P
Good question– I liked the hotel atmosphere because it felt more glam and like a “set” but it was still personal/my own space– ya know?
Right! Thanks! Xoxo

Yess!!! I absolutely adore this post. Don’t wait for the perfect body. Girl. I wanted to do a boudoir shoot last year and didn’t follow through because of body issues at the time. I have now laid to rest the whispers about my body. Thank you for always being an encouragement, Cece!

I plan on doing a boudoir shoot before my 30th bday (8/16/86), I’m single now, probably still will be then, but I think its a great confidence booster. I am more confident now (at my heaviest) than I’ve ever been. It’s time to document it…lol

I am not sure about a boudoir shoot, but I love the idea of custom made lingerie. The shoot might be something to do for my 30th birthday or some other milestone.

If I could keep it private, I’m more likely to just buy some nice lingerie for myself though.

I love the confidence in your photos! But can I ask if when moving around the skirt stayed in place? I never have luck with undergarments staying put when wearing dresses/skirts.

I’ve done one, but it’s about time I did another – and I help my photographer friend do them!

I just bought my first lingerie that I felt really comfortable and sexy in. I am just a naturally shy person but I am trying new things. Probably gaining a lot of this confidence from watching you!

I have a couple of ideas for boudoir shoots. I want to get a really nice one to hang above my bed. I was never stopped by the body shape though, I think it’s more because my good friends who are great photographers would have me too busy laughing to be sexy LOL

I would love to do a photo shoot. I think what worries me is finding the right photographer and a place. I’ve never thought of asking a friend. This sounds like a great birthday gift to myself for this year!

I JUST did a boudoir shoot as a plus size woman and it was not only INCREDIBLY empowering, but so, so much fun! And the photos came out amazingly. I really could not recommend it more!

Definitely something I am considering but I think I would do more of a pinup take on the boudoir shoot
Hey I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem but even though I have commented and signed up for the mailing list (already loving it!) Rafflecopter keeps forgetting my entries everytime I come back to this page (I may have brought it up to look at the tips and show them to friends a few times) I hope all of the entries are showing up on your end!

You’re so right about not waiting for the perfect body to do it! I’ve been holding off on investing in quality lingerie because I figured I’d be more comfortable when I’m in better shape, but I have to learn to be confident with what I have right now. Impish Lee’s selection is AMAZING!
