We have touched on the top reasons for a boudoir shoot. You will fall into at least one or more of these categories.
- You’re single and living your best life.
Before you dive into a new relationship, take some time to focus on you. There’s nothing better than being happy all on your own! - You want to give a boudoir gift.
You have someone special in your life who loves you exactly the way you are. This most personal, intimate gift you can give yourself or your partner. - You’re pregnant.
You definitely want to do one of those pregnancy-maternity photo shoots. But instead of holding a chalkboard in a cornfield, you’d like to be in your panties and something sheer. In other words, you have the rest of your life to be a mommy, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re a hot mama right now, today, bump and all. Let us pamper you as an expecting mommy and help you realize just how Beautiful you are! - You’ve always put your family photos first.
You spend time and money every year on photos of other people (family photos, school photos, sports team photos), and yet, you don’t have a single photo of just YOU! Let’s change that. The Kishel team will make sure you recognize your importance! - You’re newly single.
You’re a present woman, not just an ex-wife/ex-girlfriend. Do it for YOU! Whatever struggle or loss life threw at you, and you’re a stronger person for it. This is such an empowering experience, and you will look back on these years without regret.

Regardless of your reasons for boudoir – You Are Worth It. Period.
We promise, you deserve this just like everyone else. This is a life changing experience in the best way possible and it’s our privilege to be able to work with you!
Avoid these Boudoir Faux Pas before & during your Session
Bad Tan Lines/Sunburn – If you have not been tanning recently, don’t tan just before your session. You can get sunburn or really bad tan lines, which are not flattering in photos. Also avoid spray tans right before your session, especially if you are not familiar with how the formula takes to your skin. Most won’t develop until a good 24 hours after anyway.
Getting drunk at your session – If you are nervous about your session, it’s OK to have a glass of wine to rest your nerves. We provide a single serving usually if you’d like to unwind a bit, and you’re welcome to bring your own! But that said, don’t get wasted before or during your session. This is one of the worst things you can do. Your eyes will be bloodshot and droopy and it’s just a recipe for disaster.
Choosing the wrong sized outfits – Choose lingerie that is just the right size for you. You don’t want loose lingerie that gives your body no shape or hides your beautiful curves. On the other hand, lingerie that is too tight can be extremely unflattering.
Heavy Makeup – This is an area you don’t typically have to worry about unless you prefer to do your own hair and makeup since it’s included in your boudoir package. If you decide to apply your own makeup, you don’t want to slather it on too thickly. It’s more about accentuating your natural features and making you feel – and look – stunning. You also don’t want to go completely makeup free either. You can opt for minimal makeup but you do want to focus on contouring your facial structure.
Forgetting to shave/wax – Always remember to shave or wax any exposed area that needs to looks smooth and sexy. Consider using a medicated anti-bump cream after shaving certain lady-parts!

Why We Choose to Work with a MakeUp Artist
We are often asked why we use MakeUp Artists, and how they can really benefit your boudoir session. There are many reasons why we choose to work with a MakeUp Artist. We want to make you feel like a Kishel glamour model! Using one of our skilled artists adds a special element that you don’t get every day. I mean, come on, who doesn’t love a little pampering?
Most importantly, they also help you look your best! Even though we’re sure you do an excellent job with your makeup on an everyday basis, when it comes to photo shoots, you have to apply your makeup a little differently to make your best features really pop on film. You may not put on enough makeup normally to please the camera, but may put it on too heavy when trying to get it right for your session.
We choose to hire a professional so you don’t have to worry about it! Part of the Kishel experience is to allow you to be as stress-free as possbile. We want you to just sit back and let them work their magic. They’ve done this a million times before and know what looks best on camera. Cameras are very technologically advanced and pick up everything. Even things that may not be noticeable to the naked eye. Our skilled MakeUp Artists know what to look for, what to enhance, and what to cover.
MakeUp Artists also know which shimmery shadows will photograph weird and what colors to avoid for photos. Some things that look good in person tend to look strange on camera. They know what eyeliner to use to make your eyes pop instead of hiding them in shadows, and they’ve got the 4-1-1 on photography makeup. I prefer to leave this matter in the hands of the professionals. This service is included with all our packages!

Boudoir Session: Part 1 – Quick Tips
Choosing Boudoir Outfits For Your Session
There are so many different options, ideas, and styles for boudoir photography! Trying to figure out what to wear at your boudoir session can be intimdating. We’ve got a few quick tips to help you to narrow down your boudoir outfit choices:
- Wear what makes you feel sexy! Boudoir sessions are all about bringing out your sexy, playful side. If you put something on and you feel uncomfortable, move on to the next option. Consider it sort of like searching for the perfect wedding dress. When you put it on, you can’t help but to spin in front of the mirror or think, “Heck yes, I’m sexy!” That is the piece you should wear on shoot day.
- There are lots of categories for “sexy” when it comes to boudoir. Whatever type of clothing you go for – lingerie, cami’s/sheer tops, your partner’s clothes, sports jerseys, costumes, etc. – make sure it flatters your favorite parts. Maybe you’re a fan of your own derriere and want to show the goods! Choose a piece that accentuates whatever features you love most about yourself. Rock it girl!! Amanda is FABULOUS at knowing how to pose you too!
- Footwear matters! It’s so easy to go into a ‘less-than-classy’ vibe depending on your footwear. Patterns, baubles, bells, whistles, and more than three inches of heel can sometimes be too much. Instead of those stripper platforms? Opt for shoes that scream “ sexy sophistication.” FYI: Heels can also do a lady good when it comes to posture and accentuating muscles in her legs and backside!
Boudoir is all kinds of Sexy – Outfits only accentuate your beauty
Remember that boudoir is an amazing and empowering experience. Our goal is capturing the moments where you look AND feel beautiful – THAT is what is sexy!

0 Ladies~ Are you nervous about doing a boudoir session? Don’t worry…Amanda poses you and tells you exactly what to do every step of the way to make sure you look flawless!
It can be daunting to try a boudoir session if you’ve never done it before. We know that most women who think about doing boudoir tell themselves they’ll do it “someday” (When they reach their weight goal, when life slows down a little, when they feel more confident etc. etc). But most of the time there’s always something that comes up. So, when you book a boudoir experience with us, we make it easy.
From the very beginning, we walk you through the entire process. We custom design your entire boudoir session to reflect your personality and personal style. Once you get to the studio the day of your photoshoot, you get to just have fun and not worry about anything! Amanda tells you exactly what to do the entire time, posing you perfectly for every image. Let us make you feel empowered, beautiful and pampered. Don’t put it off until “someday”, book your Kishel boudoir experience today. #boudoir #kishelblush #flawless #behindthescenes

What do I do with my boudoir photos?~Indiana Boudoir Photography
Posted on August 6, 2019
by service 0 However, for those wanting to keep it private, we highly recommend our custom designed little black book.
We guarantee you’ll love more than just a couple of your boudoir pictures with us so designing a book is such a great way to get your favorites but also keep them private.
Polishing and perfecting photos is what we like to call it. Usually there’s a lot of care that goes into getting yourself photo shoot ready, but sometimes there’s a thing or two that need a bit of polishing ..here’s our list of all the things we can help with after the pictures are taken to make you feel even more confident!
-Perk the girls up (Breast fed too many babies? We got you covered!)
-THO (too chilly? we got you covered!)
-Stretch marks (actually, we think these make you beautiful-but if you want us to smooth it over-we got you covered;)
