The answer might be in your closet. Having a tough time deciding what to wear for your boudoir photos? You're not alone - it's the number two thing women worry about when they plan their shoot (number one: will my stomach/cellulite/arms/etc look awful and are you...
The absolute top worry I hear from women planning a boudoir shoot with us is "What do I wear?!" There's this feeling that this is one of those Girl Tests, where you have to guess right or people will give you That Look and you'll...
