the pros and cons of Outdoor Boudoir

Outdoor boudoir isn’t for everyone—and that’s totally okay. Whether you’re considering taking your shoot into the forest, field, or even the beach, here’s the real tea on what to expect.

1. The Natural Light is Chef’s Kiss
Golden hour outdoors? Unreal. Soft, glowing light that flatters every skin tone and adds depth to your photos without needing a single studio light.

2. Unique, Dreamy Backdrops
Think misty forests, overgrown meadows, ocean cliffs, or wildflower fields. Nature adds texture and drama in a way no backdrop ever could.

3. It's Empowering in a Whole New Way
There’s something incredibly freeing about being vulnerable and powerful in the open air. It’s raw, bold, and feels like a reclaiming of your own beauty.

4. It Tells a Story
Outdoor boudoir adds a narrative feel—like you’re a character in a film or a fairytale. It’s less posed, more poetic.

5. Great for Moody or Whimsical Vibes
If you're into the idea of barefoot, undone hair, flowy fabrics, and a little mystery—outdoor sessions deliver all of that and more.

1. Privacy Can Be Tricky
Depending on the location, there might be people around—and while we’ll always scout as private a spot as possible, nature isn’t a closed studio.

Pro tip: Early mornings or secluded spots are your best bet. Or we can always shoot in lingerie that's more covered to start.

2. Weather is the Boss
Rain, wind, heat, bugs—you’ve gotta be a little flexible and down for a bit of unpredictability.

3. No Changing Room, No AC
Wardrobe changes happen behind blankets, and there's no place to touch up hair or makeup unless we bring a portable mirror or glam squad.

4. You Might Get a Bit… Nature-y
Leaves in your hair, a little dirt on your feet, bugs with no sense of personal space. It’s part of the experience!

5. Limited Props or Studio Control
We can't drag a couch into the woods (well… we could, but logistics). Outdoor sessions lean into simplicity and movement rather than curated set design.

Final Thoughts:

Boudoir is about expressing you—your confidence, your energy, your story. Whether that means between linen sheets in the studio or barefoot under a waterfall, I’m here for it.
