It's Not Too Late For A Valentine's Day Session....But Hurry!
It’s not too late for A Boudoir Session For Valentines Day (but hurry!!)
You’ll never regret doing a Boudoir Session for Valentines Day
Make your boudoir session extra special this Valentine's Day and try one of these spicy tips that are guaranteed to give you photos that will make your partner swoon! 💓🔥
Boudoir photos are some of the most incredible & unforgettable gifts you can give your partner (and yourself) for Valentine's Day!🙌🏻
Your boudoir photos are the perfect romantic gift you can give to your significant other that will make their jaw drop. The look on your partner's face when they see your photos is one hundred percent worth it every time and we definitely recommend recording their reaction! 😉
I've been doing boudoir photography for a while. I've had the pleasure of helping women weave meaningful details and ideas in their boudoir sessions that are unique to their relationship and love story. Incorporating some of these ideas will make your boudoir session unique to you and your partner will feel extra special because they won't be expecting it.
As a side note, I do want to quickly mention that boudoir is an experience that is special, unique, and empowering for ALL women. What I mean is that a boudoir session is also a gift to yourself. Boudoir is a celebration of your femininity, strength, unique beauty, and the body that has carried your every step in your journey. Regardless of boudoir photos being the greatest gift ever, it being a gift-to-partner part is icing on the cake. The gift-for-you aspect is the reason to do a boudoir session because you deserve this empowering experience for yourself ❤️
Of course, these ideas don't have to be only for Valentine's Day. Boudoir is a perfect gift for celebrating any milestone whether it be a birthday, a wedding, or an anniversary. While the tried and traditional "velvet red roses and heart-shaped chocolate" ideas are always fun, but here are some Spicy New ways to think outside the box when planning your boudoir shoot:
1: Wear Your Partners Clothes in Your Boudoir Shoot
Incorporating an article of clothing from your partner is a surefire way to convey just how much you love and cherish them! They will absolutely love seeing you wearing something of theirs whether it be a classic button-up, their favorite hoodie, a sports jersey from their favorite team, or their favorite band tee. There are SO.MANY.OPTIONS. of clothing to do this with, and you can get creative with it.
Let's be honest here; if it is something they wear often, the chances are that they will smile any time they see or wear it and think of you.
*Okay, bonus spicy idea, imagine gifting them a print of you wearing something of theirs with a handwritten note that reads, "I was thinking of you while wearing this" or "Think of me next time you wear this." That is way too cute not to share!
2: Choose a Specific Theme for Your Boudoir Session
Maybe you saw this post last minute, and you are now thinking "oh no, Valentine's Day is around the corner and I have nothing planned" why not try a Valentine Mini-Session?"
Do a boudoir mini session and choose a theme that you love. You can pick a sports theme for your partner who is a sports fan, or maybe do a marvel cosplay because they love everything Marvel. Or if you are really wanting to stun them….use our bondage set and watch their eyes pop out of their head!
You still get a very unique experience as well as the perfect Valentine, Win-Win! 🙌🏻
*Bonus Tip: Use the Glam to Spice Up Your Night ✨
I wanted to add this one is for you Queen! It may not be SPECIFICALLY for the boudoir session itself, but it is a fun tip to make the day special.
Your boudoir session is the perfect excuse to get pampered and glammed up with professional hair and makeup. But that doesn't mean the fun can't go on after your session is done. Since you are already all glammed up and radiating with confidence from your session, you might as well make the most of your it and go out for a romantic date night or a favorite activity of yours! Put on an outfit you love and let your natural beauty shine as you go out about town!
And for some more ideas, a few times at Kim Kelley Boudoir, we have done sessions in the morning, and later that same evening we sent our client her secret phone app with a few highlights from her boudoir session to enjoy having a sneak peek while out on their romantic date!
Can you imagine how fun it would be to go on a date dressed up, feeling confident, beautiful, and empowered? Then also have the excitement of gifting your partner with stunning, sexy photos at the end of the night!
Not only will your partner's jaw drop when they look at your boudoir photos, but they also will have even more photos to look forward to! Imagine gifting them with a little preview and then surprising them with the fact that there are even more photos to enjoy later!
Warning: Your boudoir photographer is not responsible if your boudoir photos make date night abruptly end because your partner is in a rush to get you back home 😘
Don't know what a secret phone app is, you're in luck! We will be covering that (more in-depth in this article)
*Bonus points if you write a special message for your sweetheart and let them unwrap the gift in front of you. Don't forget to record their reaction! It is so, so worth it!
3: Give The Perfect Gift Multiple Times by Using a Phone App for Your Boudoir Photos
One Unforgettable Boudoir Session, Multiple Unforgettable Boudoir Gifts
You have two ways to use this amazing little phone app. We can download it onto your phone during your session, and as your photos get edited I can load them onto the app from my computer so the gallery keeps building and building. You will surprise your partner with the app with a photo or two, and they will wish they had more to look at! And they will! And every addition will make them more and more excited until you finally get to present them with a gorgeous album they can hold and touch and gawk at as long as they like! The other option is to do everything at once, the album, the phone app, and the digitals all at the same time for a big huge surprise they never saw coming!
4: Record Their Epic Reaction!
Okay, this is a very fun idea to do! Because recording your partner's reaction is about having the moment you gave them this gift a keepsake to have forever.
Now, there are a variety of ways you can record this! I'm going to be very specific about this because I get asked all the time ❤️
BEFORE you even show them the photos, record THEIR REACTION! This sets up the mood that something special is going to happen, and you'll be able to relive the moment over and over again. How you surprise and record them is totally up to you! Some boudoir queens will send their partner a photo completely unprompted while they are sitting on the couch and record their reaction that way. Others take a more formal approach and will sit their partner down at the kitchen table and then slide their boudoir album across the table and record as their partner opens their gift.
Photographer tip: WHILE recording, it is okay for you to talk, but try not to be to speak too much over the video or wait to respond after counting to three in your head (one....twooooo...three....Now Respond). But really, just sit back and enjoy seeing your partner freak out over their amazing gift and take in all the thoughtful, stunning photographs of the woman they love most. The reason we advise against you talking too much during the surprise part is because you want to record their genuine, authentic reaction so you can laugh and relive them later together. Sometimes your partner's eyes will get huge, maybe they'll scream, or be tongue-tied, or their jaw will drop, or they will look back and forth between you and the images in disbelief that you gifted them with this. All reactions are well worth the surprise and always sooo satisfying to watch!
After this, both of you officially will have a keepsake for the life of this moment and can watch it together whenever you want!
Wrapping it All Up
If you love surprising your significant other, celebrating you, and giving back to yourself. A boudoir session is hands-down the perfect gift for your Valentine's Day!
And truthfully, it's a pretty awesome gift for any occasion! Engagement surprise, anniversary gift, or just something special to treat yourself with - these gifts will, without a doubt will be unforgettable.
But please remember, spots can fill up fast, so always check availability and be sure to bring up the date you need everything by! If it is a last-minute idea don't worry!
