A guide from Kissed by Light Photo Studio — Toronto’s longest-standing boudoir studio

Choosing what to wear is one of the most exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) parts of preparing for your boudoir photoshoot.
At Kissed by Light Studio, we believe every woman deserves to look and feel extraordinary — and the right outfits can beautifully highlight your personality, shape, and confidence.

Whether you want something timeless and romantic, bold and dramatic, or soft and minimal — this guide will help you plan your looks like a pro.

✨ 1. Classic Lingerie — Always Timeless

There’s a reason why lingerie is the heart of boudoir.
Think delicate lace, silk, corsets, garters, and bodysuits. Choose pieces that make you feel sensual but comfortable. Black, ivory, and soft neutrals photograph beautifully under our studio lights, while a hint of red or deep jewel tones can add passion and depth.

Pro tip: Bring at least one set that feels very you, and one that pushes your comfort zone just a little — those images often become client favorites.

🤍 2. Bodysuits, Corsets & One-Piece Wonders

Bodysuits and corsets are incredibly flattering on all body types. They contour your curves, elongate the body, and photograph like a dream.
A structured corset can create that elegant hourglass shape, while a sheer or lace bodysuit adds mystery and texture.

Stylist’s note: Bodysuits with open backs, deep V-cuts, or sheer panels work beautifully in both colour and black-and-white versions.

🌿 3. Nothing But Texture — Sheets, Robes, or Bare Skin

Some of the most captivating boudoir images are created with less.
Soft white sheets, an oversized men’s shirt, or a silk robe slipping off the shoulder can express vulnerability, intimacy, and strength all at once.

In our studio: We often photograph with gold, beige, and natural fabrics that complement your skin tone and lighting — creating a fine-art aesthetic.

🎨 4. Colour Palette — What Works Best on Camera

• Neutrals & Pastels: Ivory, beige, blush, and champagne tones are timeless and flattering on all skin tones.

• Dark & Dramatic: Black, navy, emerald, or burgundy add depth and sophistication — stunning against darker backdrops.

• Bold Colours: Jewel tones (ruby, sapphire, emerald) pop beautifully, especially under warm studio light.

Avoid neon tones or busy patterns — they can distract from you.

👠 5. Accessories That Elevate the Look

Small details make a big difference.
Heels, pearls, gloves, stockings, or statement earrings can transform a simple look into an editorial masterpiece.

You’re welcome to explore our studio wardrobe, which includes robes, heels, jewelry, and elegant fabrics that can be styled to match your vision.

💄 6. Bring Variety — 3 to 5 Looks Work Best

We recommend bringing a mix of:

• One classic lingerie set (black or neutral)

• One soft / romantic look (lace, pastel, or robe)

• One bold statement look (red, corset, or body jewellery)

• Optional artistic / implied nude look using sheets or drapery

This combination gives you range and allows us to design your session flow perfectly.

🌹 7. Confidence Is the Best Outfit

No matter what you wear, confidence is the most powerful thing you can bring to your session.
When you feel comfortable and connected to yourself, that energy shines through every image. Our team will guide you through posing, lighting, and styling so you can relax, enjoy, and fully embrace the experience.
