What went into this creative boudoir photoshoot?

I love a creative boudoir concept and when Maryssa came to me with this witchy idea to do a shoot for the fall equinox I was immediately down. We used a combination of blue, red, and orange lights to create a darkroom-like effect in Maryssa's bathroom. Then we set to decorating the heck out of the space - tarot cards, driftwood, bones, candles. We unintentionally set a very small fire on Maryssa's windowsill - shh don't tell anyone.

We wanted to due the bathtub water a dark purple or gray but settled with solidified wax chunks and a medieval concoction of kitchen ingredients created by Maryssa. And honestly the goopy homemade potion was great for the picture-perfect drip out of the wine goblet.

More creative boudoir photoshoot ideas I would love to shoot:

Editorial cocktail hour

The process of making and drinking an elevated cocktail can go hand-in-hand with a boudoir shoot. The vibrant colors and intricate glassware can create a visually stunning backdrop for your boudoir photos.

70s retro photoshoot

Think Burt Reynolds on that bearskin rug. Need I say more?!

May Queen florals

Y'all remember the end of Midsommar? I would love to recreate a smaller version of that vibe in a simple studio setting using all the florals we can get our hands on.
