If you’re considering booking a boudoir photoshoot at Bohemian Visions, one of the first questions you might have is: “Do I bring my own clothes to my photoshoot?” The short answer is—yes, you can, but it’s not required! Bringing your own clothing can add a personal touch to your session and help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. However, if you’re feeling unsure about your current wardrobe, Bohemian Visions has a client closet that you can utilize at your boudoir photoshoot.
Your boudoir photoshoot is all about creating a space that encourages self-expression, embracing one’s sensual side, and capturing your raw beauty. And what you wear can play a big role in how you feel. Whether you want to bring sentimental pieces, something bold and empowering, or cozy and intimate clothing, the choice is entirely yours. Let’s explore your options as you decide what to bring based on the vision for your boudoir photoshoot.
Bringing Your Own Clothing for a Boudoir Photoshoot
A boudoir photoshoot is a unique and extremely personal experience. Therefore, the clothing you choose to wear should align with your comfort and style. Bringing pieces that make you feel beautiful, confident, and empowered is highly encouraged for your boudoir photoshoot.

Here are a few different clothing pieces to consider bringing with you to your photoshoot:
Bridal Boudoir
If you’re doing a bridal boudoir photoshoot, consider bringing pieces that celebrate your upcoming wedding. A delicate lace lingerie set, a sheer robe, or even your wedding veil can add a romantic and sentimental touch. Some brides also choose to bring their wedding dress for a few unique photos or as a personal addition to the backdrop of their photoshoot set.
At Bohemian Visions, we offer bridal portraits on the day of your photoshoot, making it a seamless way to capture both your wedding day elegance and your bridal glow.
Boudoir Gift for Your Significant Other
If your boudoir session is intended as a gift for your partner, incorporating an item of their clothing can add a special touch. A button-up shirt, their favorite sports jersey, or a piece of clothing that holds sentimental value can make for meaningful photos they’ll never forget. Many clients find that blending personal and shared elements into their boudoir wardrobe choices creates a more customized and heartfelt experience.
Your Personal Favorites
The most important factor when choosing what to wear for your boudoir photoshoot is how you feel in the pieces themselves. Whether it’s a bodysuit, a lacy set, or an elegant robe, it’s important to bring clothing that reflects your personality and makes you feel confident in your own skin. Many clients bring a mix of their favorite pieces to the studio to give them options to select from on the day of their shoot based on how they’re feeling. Whatever you choose, feeling comfortable should always be the priority.
The Bohemian Visions Client Wardrobe

If you’re unsure what to bring or just want to explore additional options, Bohemian Visions has a thoughtfully curated collection of clothing options and accessories within the client wardrobe available to all clients.
Our wardrobe includes:
Lingerie in a Variety of Colors and Styles
From delicate lace to bold satin and sultry mesh, we have a collection of stunning lingerie pieces that flatter a wide range of body types. These pieces are carefully selected to ensure that every client finds something that enhances their natural beauty and makes them feel empowered in front of the camera.
Elegant Robes
Silk, satin, and lace robes add an extra touch of elegance and can be layered over lingerie or worn on their own for a soft, romantic look. Whether you want to keep things subtle or fully embrace a luxurious aesthetic, robes provide a versatile styling option.
Accessories to Enhance Your Look
Our collection includes statement body jewelry and other bold accessories to add unique, eye-catching details to your overall look. These finishing touches can elevate how you feel, adding an opportunity to explore different looks that bring out your inner vixen.
The client wardrobe is designed to be inclusive and versatile, ensuring every client can find something that fits them beautifully and makes them feel incredible. Whether you choose to bring your own pieces or select from the wardrobe, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable, beautiful, and empowered.
What to Wear (or Not Wear) for Your Boudoir Session
At Bohemian Visions, we believe that boudoir is about celebrating you. That means there’s no pressure to wear anything that doesn’t make you feel amazing. Some clients prefer to be covered in a silk robe or wrapped in satin sheets, while others love the idea of bold and daring lingerie—or even posing nude for an entirely raw and artistic expression of self-love. You have full control over how much (or how little) you wear during your session.

Your comfort and consent are always top priorities. We encourage open communication to ensure that you feel safe, confident, and completely in charge of your boudoir experience. Whether you choose full coverage or minimal attire, your session is about making sure you feel empowered and in control.
How to Decide What to Wear for Your Boudoir Photoshoot
If you’re feeling unsure about what to bring or wear, here are a few tips:
- Choose What Makes You Feel Confident – Pick pieces that highlight your favorite features and make you feel confident.
- Consider the Occasion – If you’re doing a bridal boudoir session, bring wedding-related items. If it’s a gift for your partner, bring something sentimental.
- Mix and Match – You can bring a few of your own items and also incorporate selections from the client wardrobe.
- Keep Comfort in Mind – If you’re uncomfortable in an outfit, it will show in your photos. Wear what makes you feel good!
- Ask for Guidance – If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help you select the perfect wardrobe pieces for your session.
