Moroccan Boudoir in Dallas, Texas

There are a ton of great boudoir studios in Dallas that have the traditional beds, but how about making your boudoir session really stand out?  How about something a tad bit international?   Today we are going to bring Morocco right to Dallas!  Yes, we have a Moroccan Boudoir set!

Morocco is a beautiful country in North Africa.  If all goes well I will be visiting this colorful country in 2016. When I do I plan on bringing back more blankets, sheets, and other items to make this set look as authentic as possible.  

This set was inspired by my love for strong color.  Boudoir sessions have a tendency to look very black and white with a splash of red pinched in.  This set is for the colorful, dynamic, and non traditional woman. With the Moroccan set we want to provide a really relaxed atmosphere that can still to be really sexy.  We love effortless sexy and that’s what this set provides. If you’re looking to give your boudoir session a bit of flair the Moroccan set would be best for you!

In a previous post we really broke down Karla’s outfit, hair, and makeup to a science.  If you want to see all the details of Karla’s look please check out our How to Style a Bridal Boudoir Session.  

Jill from #Glambition did the hair and makeup.  Alexis K Coats styled this amazing session with  clothes provided by Apricot Lane of Dallas.  Most of the furniture here came from Pier 1.  

Not only is the set relaxing so is Karla’s style. In her first looks she’s rocking a bikini top from Apricot Lane of Dallas.  Instead of the typical panty or bikini bottle Alexis opted to layer her in a series of scarves. This provided a sense of texture, fun pops of color, and overall more interesting photos.  Not only do the your boudoir  photos need to look sexy, but they have to really stand out.  

The hair added a dynamic point of interest to Karla’s Moroccan boudoir set.  While there is nothing wrong with with full voluptuous curly hair I have to say that I LOVE the short futuristic side bob that Jill designed for Karla.  Again, it brings interest and texture in such a unique setting.  

If you want to get more details on Karla’s set or any of the three other women we shot please make sure you check out your post on How to Style a Bridal Boudoir Session.  Also, Karla is in a competition of Dallas’s top models.  Please go vote for Karla HERE!  

Without Further Ado here are more photos!

I really hoped you enjoyed Karla’s photos!  Be sure to vote for her as one of the  top model’s in Dallas HERE!

I want to thank Jill form #Glambition for all your help and hard work on this series!  Special thank you to Alexis for blessing us with her skills and Apricot Lane of Dallas for allowing us to use the clothe for the shoot!

In the comments below please let me know which photo in this series you like the best and why!

Bohemian Inspired Boudoir Session

Today we are going to showcase a Bohemian inspired boudoir session!

Over the past month we have showed you stlyized boudoir sessions create by Alexis K Coats with wardrobe provided by Apricot Lane of Dallas.  The hair and makeup is by Jill of #Glambition.  Each session represented something different.  Ciara with Bridal Boudoir.  Jolesa with Strength, and now we have Jenna serving use that Bohemian realness.

For Jenna we wanted to give a more sultry sexy.  Jill opted for huge crimped hair and makeup that really made her blue eyes pop.  In her first outfit Alexis dressed Jenna is a 90’s esque  full length white lace dress.  On her shoulders drapes a beautiful black embroidered kimono.  

As far as accessories go the motto was, “Too much is never enough.”  Alexis had her rocking the stone bangles and dripped crystal pendants around her neck.

However if you really want the details of what she wore be sure to check out our post on How to Style a Bridal Boudoir Shoot.  I believe this will come in handy for you regardless if you're getting married or not.

Three Things You Can Learn from Jenna

1. It’s okay to be nervous.

Jenna was really nervous about her session because she doesn’t model and has never done boudoir.  However, she did place her trust in myself and Alexis, who also models.  Alexis gave Jenna very detailed instruction to help her out and ease her fears.  She even gave her some excercises to practice at home for her next photo shoot.

2. It’s Okay to Take Control.  

Believe it or not Jenna's eyelashes are 100% organic.  She takes such good care of them and doesn’t let anyone, but herself, touch her eyelashes.  Sometimes ladies are scared to speak up, but what I liked about Jenna is what she wasn’t and was able to verbalize what she does and does not want to do.  If you don't feel comfortable or have an idea that better suits you don't be scared to speak up because your photographer wants you to feel as comfortable as possible.  

3. Listen.  

Jenna may have been nervous but you would have never noticed because she took the time and listened to us and own her photos.  Like Jolesa, Jenna listened with intent so she was able to pull off some of the mose beautiful pictures.  When you take the time and listen to your photographer about posing and how to do the poses your photos will come out amazing.  

Without further ado here are Jenna’s photos.

I hope today’s post helped you understand how to prep for your session and gave your style ideas for your next boudoir session.

How to Showoff Your Regal Beauty in a Boudoir Session

At Wonderland Boudoir located in Dallas, Texas we believe that each boudoir session has an underlying element that frames the theme of the shoot.  In Jolesa’s case you can clearly see that it’s power, success, and regal beauty.

Jolesa did an amazing job with her session.  This petite powerhouse really brought her A game to her boudoir session.  She tuned everything out and focused on me and the direction of her session.  I believe this is why this has been one of my best sessions to date.

One of my favorite things about Jolesa was her attention to detail and how she listened with intent to follow directions. This made her photos come out so amazing.  She gave me full creative control in order to obtain beautiful photos for her boudoir session. 

HAIR.

Having unique hair for your boudoir session that truly compliments your personality is always a good idea.  In Jolesa’s case she’s rocking a natural hair mohawk with Amber tips.  Let’s all be honest, not all women can get away with this.  Jolesa has an incredibly strong face that can handle such a short haircut.   

STYLE.

Styling for a boudoir session is incredibly important. While we don’t always have a professional stylist with us we do take the craft very serious.  In Jolesa’s case we had a light and dark look.  My favorite pieces from each of her sessions are the kimonos that you can find at Apricot Lane.  Her caramel complexion has the advantage of being very versatile in the fashion world.  Because of this it was easy to go from white to black with her. 

The white outfit is very laid back and casual with a pinch of seduction sprinkled in.  She was able to balance that power with sexy.  This is something we should all be doing in our everyday life anyway. 

In her second boudoir outfit she is wearing all black while rocking an intense statement necklace.  The statement necklace was the perfect idea because it presented the subject and the clothes very well.  It helped bring out the powerhouse element that Jolesa was channeling.

3 Tips for a Successful Boudoir Session:

1.) Listen to your boudoir photographer.

During your boudoir session it’s imperative to listen to your boudoir photographer.   The boudoir photographer’s job is to showcase and enhance your photos with direction, styling, and posing.  When you don’t commit to what your photographer has to say it could result in lackluster photos.  There are a ton of weird angles the photographer has you in.  Some points you may feel as though you’re a pretzel and feel ridiculous.  However, don’t fret.  Your photographer knows your angles and is only trying to make your photos worth loving. 

2.) Celebrate Your Authentic Self

Jolesa rocked amMohawk.  This mohawk was beautiful and it authentically represented who she is as a person, unique, fun, and outgoing.  However, celebrating your style does not just include hair... it can be tattoos, piercings, or fashion.  If you cover your tattoos up the session may not feel as special to you as they should.  Be true to yourself and you will be happy with your results.

3.) Style is Important

Boudoir fashion will make or break a session.  I also advise ladies to try on their lingerie before arriving at your boudoir session.  In order to have a functional style you have to try and figure what you want to represent. The outfit’s that you bring to the session must be something that compliments the studio or on locations scenery.     

Without further ado here are more photos!!!

I hope these three tips helped you for your next session.  If you are interested in booking a session with Wonderland Boudoir please check out our investment page and then head over to contact if you like to speak more about your impending boudoir session. 

I have to give an amazing thank you from Jill from #Glambition and Alexis at AlexisKCoats in Instagram for the styling.   Than you Apricot Lane for letting us showcase your beautiful clothes.

Have an amazing Friday y’all!!!

4 Tips for a Successful Bridal Session & Bridal Boudoir Lookbook

Bridal boudoir in Dallas is a huge thing and it's important that you pick a photographer that will match your aesthetic and vision.  Here at Wonderland Boudoir in Dallas we love doing Bridal Boudoir!  Its fun, sexy, and a great gift for your husband to be.  

 Here we have Ciarra as our bride.  The wedding dress is from Simply Bridal.  Isn't this dress breathtaking?  Would you believe me if I told you that the purchase price of this dress is less than $500?!  That's without a discount!  The name of this dress is Lianne and can be found HERE!  To know more details about this dress and her full look I did a really detailed post last week about how to style a Boudoir Wedding Session. 

 Today I wanted to provide a full spread of Ciara's Bridal Boudoir session and 4 Tips for a Successful Bridal Boudoir Session

 Tips for a Successful Bridal Session

 1.) Include the Dress

 You spent a large sum of money on a dress that you may only wear once. This dress may end up living in your closet until it’s donated it or passes on to a daughter or a family friend.  I think taking as many pictures in your dress, even prior to your wedding is a good idea.  

 A boudoir session is an excellent place to get a lot of detailed shots of your dress.  A wedding dress has tons of detailing and it's important to get as much detailing as possible.  Also, having a boudoir session done in your gown allows you to show off you sensual and sexy time to your future husband in a way that expresses commitment to only him.  You have most likely dieted and worked out to get the perfect body for you dress.  It’s your time to shine and look amazing in your dress. 

 2.) Lingerie that Matches the Dress

 Styling and aesthetics are everything in photoshoots.  This isn't the first time I have stated this and it won't be the last.  For your boudoir session to be impactful it's important to have clothes complement each other, the decor of the room, and the reason for the session.  Most importantly, your lingerie should complement your dress.

 3.) Accessories Make your Boudoir Experience Unique

How you decide to pair your accessories to your dress is an individual decision that will be based off many factors. One of those factors being your personal style. However, I have to say that if your lingerie and dress are really detailed then it may be better to not go with too much bling. Yes, I know the Texan ideology is that there can never be too much bling… but in the case of your boudoir photos, it can. 

 On the other hand if your dress and lingerie are really plain then bring the bling on!

 4.) DO NOT TAN or GET A SPRAY TAN THE DAY OF OR BEFORE YOUR BOUDOIR SESSION

Getting a tan or a spray tan a day or two ahead of your boudoir session is a complete mistake!

 Spray tans have a tendency to leave residue.  If you are wearing white then the last thing you want to do before your big day is have orange marks over you dress or our sets.  If you must have a spray tan please schedule to have it done at least 5 days before your planned boudoir session.

 Tans are also not a good idea because they have a tendency to make you look orange in photos.  This causes a huge issue in post processing work for the photos and they may not be able to correct your skin complexion due to the unnatural skin darkening.

I hope these four tips helped you out before your boudoir session.  Including your wedding dress, accessorizing, wearing the right lingerie, and not tanning before your session will help lead to a successful bridal boudoir session.

Dallas Boudoir Photography: A Class Act, Subtley Sexy Boudoir

Ms. K is nothing short of a class act!

While she still wanted to be sexy she wanted to be covered up a bit more.  Yes, at Wondelrand Boudoir, a Dallas Boudoir Photography studio,  you can do that for a boudoir session.  A boudoir session isn’t classified by how much you take off it’s classified by how much fierceness you bring to you session.

While each girl showed a different element I believe that Ms. K was a clear class act.  I have to admit that her outfit was on point.  I’m not sure where all the pieces came from, but I will say they were excellently curated. 

For her first look Ms. K rocked a cute black sequin baby doll dress.  This was a great choice because it really highlighted her legs.  Ms. K has excellent skin and a beautiful complexion so her choosing this dress as a final selection for her boudoir shoot was a great idea. 

The dress was also beautiful because it showed off her beautiful shoulder tattoo.  As I said in the Girl Ink post I believe that tattoos are awesome for boudoir sessions and that you should defiantly show them off as they will make your session more unique. 

The second outfit really brought sexy CEO realness!  There are very few pieces in our everyday corporate clothes collections that are hotter than a pencil skirt.  Since 2008 pencil skirts have made a real comeback and they are here to stay.  If you’re looking for a way to be super hot at work without wearing tight clothes the pencil skirt should be your go to piece.  The fact that the pencil skirt was leather really help highlight her gorgeous curves and make the look that much better for her boudoir sessions.

She stepped it up 180% with this beautiful red corset.  This was a great choice because the red corset really pops again her golden undertone tan skin.  Corsets are great way to shape the body into a beautiful hour glass figure. 

The jewelry was kept to a minimum because in boudoir photography we like concentrate on the body and face.  Too much jewelry can be very distracting.  Ms. K wore simple stud earrings and a dainty necklace that added highlights her beautiful décolletage area. 

 The hair is by the beautiful and talented to Dominique of ManeAffairInc.  ManeAffair can be found in Mesquite, Texas.  Dominique is one of the top talent in the DFW area and is one of the most versatile hair artist in the city.  I couldn’t recommend her more because her work is second to none.  To see more of Dominique’s work please visit her website and Instagram page.

Ms. Alessandra did the makeup for Ms. K.   Since the outfits for her boudoir session is a timeless sexy she gave her makeup that would transition with years to come.  Her look is very natural but still added a pop of fun with the lips.  Can we TALK about the face contouring for a second?  Ms. K already has some of the most beautiful cheekbones I have ever seen, but Alessandra really made them stand out to add a dash of pop to her photos.  Don’t you think that Alessandra should start a YouTube channel?  I think so too.  To see more of Alessandra’s work please visit her site and Instagram page. 

Without further ado here are more photos of the beautiful Ms. K.

Isn’t she GORGEOUS?!
