Boudoir by Michelle Hayes Photography




What is Boudoir Photography anyway?
Boudoir Photography is back in style! Today, it's really about capturing the essence and beauty of a woman and letting real women be their own supermodel. You can be as sexy and as daring as you want to be. It's all up to you. Every woman should take a moment, stop being so hard on themselves, and embrace their unique beauty. Do it for yourself or do it as a surprise for your partner. Either way, I can guarantee it will be a fun, once-in-a-lifetime, confidence-boosting experience!


What goes on in a Boudoir Session?
This isn't the bad Glamour Shots of the 80's. No cheesy boas, no awkward sexy pouts, no harsh glamour lights. It's about real woman celebrating how beautiful they are through photography. It's that simple, yet so powerful. Don't worry if you don't know how to pose or don't know what you are doing. I have a ton of flattering pose ideas and will help you throughout the session. Remember, I am a professional photographer with a keen eye for what looks good so I promise to make you look amazing!

A Glam Session is a private session up to 3 hours. You will have time for 2-3 outfit changes.

A Boudoir Party consists of you and at least three other friends. You will each have about 45 minutes in a private session with 1-2 outfit changes.


Where are Boudoir Sessions held?
Typically a Boudoir session is done at a chic hotel here in NYC. If you do a Boudoir Party with three of your friends you can spend the afternoon in a cool Manhattan hotel. This is a great idea for a bachelorette party or a bridal shower!
What should I wear?
This is entirely up to you. What ever you choose you should feel sexy, confident and comfortable in. You can wear something like a white button up shirt if you are a little conservative or a corset and garters if you want to be a little more daring. If you have no clue then a black bra and panties work every time. Also, bring a pair of sexy heals to make your legs look a mile long and some accessories. If you don't have any, don't worry I have a lot of bling in my boudoir collection. We can play around with your outfits to come up with some different looks. 


Tip: If you're planning a Boudoir Party with your friends then schedule an afternoon to go lingerie shopping together!

This is also a great site for lingerie and posing ideas.


What about hair & make up?
I highly recommend you get your hair and make up done professionally. You will feel beautiful and pampered. Go all out! Remember, these are glam shots and you'll want your hair and make up to match the look of your lingerie, which is going to be sexy and fabulous!


Tip: False eyelashes and a siren red lipstick will amp up your sexiness no matter what you are wearing!


If you need suggestions I have some amazing artists I can recommend.
