Plan the lighting
in every photo shoot, lighting is vital and Boudoir photography is no exception.

Prepare the background
black out the distracting furniture, pictures and walls by hanging a plain colored sheet or canvas. Monochromes such as black and white, both are good for the sensual effect they create. But make sure that the model is not casting shadow on the background by arranging one of the lights behind her, shining directly on the background.

Gather props before you begin taking photos
you want a strong folding table covered with a sheet or toss those matches in the background, allowing the model to recline. Think about adding soft throws, feather boas and items that exhibit intimacy for a glamour photo-shoot.

Always make sure that the model is relaxed
keep your model relaxed by allowing her to keep a robe on as you set up the shot, taking it off only when you’re ready to take the photos. Always provide adequate props to cover sensitive body areas unless the model wants nude shots.
Involve your model to accessorize
accessorize your model by asking her to bring apparel items that compliment the theme. Sexy sleek items such as thigh high sheer stockings, spike heels and lingerie work well. Listen to the model and gear the scene to the desired result.
