Lovely photos~ thank you so much for this post 😀 I would love to do a shoot like this someday!

Boudoir Photos By A Professional Cost Close To $200 And As High As $1500. I’m Plus Size And I Would Like To See Myself In Gorgeous Lingerie That Compliments My Body Type And Thigh High Stockings That Doesn’t Make May Voluptuous Thighs Look Like A Muffin Tops. I Truly Would Love To Do Some “Boudoir Photos” For My Other Half. You Took Some Gorgeous Photos! And Thank You So Much For Tips? But The Minute I’m Able To, You Will See Me Posing Up A Storm, With A Story To Tell Behind Every Photo! ?

Such a great post. I think I found my Valentine’s gift.I wanted to do one when my body was better but why wait.

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.

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.

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…

i would do one, would need the right ‘outfit’ to try it

This looks like so much fun! Love every photograph. I would love to do this just to see a different side of myself.

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

Yaasss Cecelia you betta serve!! Looking amazing!

Lovely photos Cece!!

Always wanted to do something like this. You look lovely!

I love shooting these with folks, it’s incredibly empowering for them. Soon I’d love to do one for myself

Yes, I would do a boudoir shoot and I think my husband would LOVE it!!

I have been thinking about doing a shoot for years but have always hesitated bc of my size. These are great tips! Thank you.

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 have always been afraid of doing a shoot! Thanks for showing me how to feel comfortable and sexy during a shoot!

Great advice! I might use it one day!

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.

maybe. I’m thinking about it. I’m 53 years old but still cute!!

Very inspiring. I have been thinking about doing one but was unsure do to my size. This makes me want to just go for it. Thanks

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

I love these pics…O my, you look beautiful!

I’ve wanted to do a boudoir shoot for a long time now! Any tips on finding a good photographer in any area?

I absolutely love the option to customize the colors according to your skin tone! You look beautiful!

Love this. I’ve always wanted to do a boudoir shot but couldn’t muster up the courage. You’ve pushed me a little more to just do it.

This is such a beautiful idea. Id love to do a shoot like this and look this amazing doing it.

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!

You look absolutely radiant and beautiful. I would love to do thus as a surprise for my husband and to show a different side to me as I am very conservative and shy….still need to find the courage but you motivated me

I always wanted to do a boudoir shot, this is some great advice. I love the pics.

This would be the perfect morale booster after being dumped before Valentine’s Day 🙁

I am so glad I found your blog! You’re gorgeous and I love the article! It’s something Ive been thinking of doing for a while but now I’m seriously considering it!

You look amazing! I’d love to do a shoot like this now that I’m finally comfortable in my own skin. It took A lot for me to get here and your blog helped me so much in getting to this place. So thank you Cece! Love you <3

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!

Great post!!!

These photos are gorgeous! I’ve seen a lot of people do boudoir shoots and have had the photos edited heavily, I love that you kept it natural!

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!

You look amazing! I so want to do one now!

You look like you’re having so much fun!

super awesome! i just did one with my boyfriend and it was so fun!!

I just did one this past weekend and your tips are totally on point! So awesome!

Love, love, LOVE!! I’ve always wanted to do a bourdoire shoot, but shied away from it. You’ve definitely got me reconsidering!

I love this! Recently, I’ve been intrigued with boudoir shoots and now I think I will have to! It’ll be a great present for my fiancée when we get married!

yaaaaassss

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

I’ll be doing this for my birthday

I plan on doing this with my husband!

I did a shoot years ago but I was much smaller than.. Your tips are great and I long to do another one day soon! It is the most amazing confidence builder!

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!

I would definitely do a lingerie shoot!

I can’t wait to do a Boudoir shoot! I have one on the books and am in need of lingerie. I really hope I win!

I’m all about not waiting for the right moment, right body, right anything. If only I could get the courage to go from behind the camera to in front of the camera then we’d be in business. Love, love, love your body positive attitude! xoxo

I am a photographer that does pinup/boudoir shoots but I have never ventured in front of the camera. I need to find someone to shoot me!

CeCe what a beautiful lingerie set!! Gorgeous shoot!

i could do it! thanks!

I’ve done some DIY shots before… but your tips helped a lot. Especially the sunlight one! Thanks!

Awesome tips. Hope i get the courage to do this one day. It came out so beautiful

i would if i won and had a nice ensemble to wear, been entering each day but the form won’t take my entries, hope it gets fixed so i have a chance!

OMG…not only are you beautiful…but your BEAUTIFUL… love the shoot… you just gave me the go a-head confidence for a birthday gift for my honey…thanks!
