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!
How to coordinate outfits to get the best look in your photos
Not sure what to wear to your engagement session? We can help! You should bring two to three outfits to your session so we can get a variety of different looks for you. We suggest the following:
- Bring a ‘Dressy’ Outfit
It’s not every day you get to get all dressed up with your sweetheart and take photos together. Use this session as an excuse to really go all out and get fancied up! We’re not saying you have to wear a gown and tux (unless you want to!), but maybe a dress or skirt for you, and a suit or nice slacks and a button up shirt for your fiancé. This outfit will be great for save the date cards, or the wedding announcement in your local newspaper.
- Go Casual
We also suggest you bring a more casual outfit. This outfit is ideal for your more fun, relaxed photos. Tailored jeans and a nice shirt are always a great choice, especially if we are going to be walking around in nature a lot. Make sure to bring shoes specifically for this outfit, too.
- Coordination is Key
The most important thing to remember is to coordinate. You don’t want to be matchy-matchy, but you want to coordinate. Choose similar colors and styles that photograph well together. For example, you don’t want to wear jeans if your fiancé is wearing nice dress pants in the same photo. Also remember to dress for the location. For example, if you are doing a natural, rustic or vintage session, you’ll want to stay away from bright colors and opt for neutrals instead.
- Things to Avoid
– Logos, unless we’re doing a sports session and you’re wearing jerseys, etc.
– Patterns – Try to stick with solid colors or minimal patterns. Plaid shirts are fine as long as your fiancé isn’t wearing stripes or polka dots. It’s a good rule of thumb to only have one partner wearing a pattern at a time.
– Fluorescent colors – These don’t photograph well and also can cast bright color tones on your skin.
Always remember, if you have any questions at all or want to discuss your outfits, you can contact us any time~we love to help! Service@KishelPhotography.com
Since finishing with Lisa and Steve’s breathtaking Pensacola wedding, we kept coming back to this image. This moment was so memorable- we stole the bride and groom away to a historic bar in Seville Quarters for some alone time and a celebratory beer. As we left them alone to scope out more unique spots to take them to, this is what we captured through the iron gated door…the most perfect stolen moment! Such a romantic wedding with two amazing people! So glad we could be a part of your day! We love traveling to unique places to capture special moments!

Lindsey and Brent are such a fun couple! We absolutely loved photographing their wedding! They chose a gorgeous lake setting for their special day. With waterfront ceremony and reception, it was the perfect romantic backdrop to exchange their vows. We love how laid back and chic Lindsey is. She and Brent compliment eachother perfectly and in a simple yet elegant style their day went off perfectly! We loved every detail! The dresses, the diamonds and Oh the fabulous cheesecake! We had a blast capturing their wedding day!
We can’t say enough about how fabulous this wedding was! We love to travel all over for unique weddings and this Austin TX couple had such great style! We were so thrilled when Jenn & Brooks asked us to photograph their wedding! We eagerly packed up, left the cold November weather in Indiana and headed to Austin. Jennifer’s ballet length dress, red heels and white birdcage netting fascinator were the perfect ensemble for a stylish, classic bride. And Brooks was a dashing groom complimenting Jenn perfectly. They chose some of the most beautiful venues to set the scene for their wedding images. One really great perk of traveling to new places for weddings is the inspiration of a new space! Jenn and Brooks are such a great match too! We love when it’s easy to capture the bride and groom in their element! They had a great time incorporating their fun loving side into their classic style and we had a blast with them!
We are so happy we were chosen to capture their special day and love how all of their wedding day images came out!
Raeanne & Aaron’s wedding was breath taking. Their special day took place at Raeanne’s farmhouse, which added just the right touch of rustic and classic. This was a wedding for us to remember because the bride requested pictures with her show pigs! We enjoyed the challenge of photographing this sweet moment of the bride, her husband, and their love for animals. We absolutely loved spending Raeanne & Aaron’s special day with them and wish them the best! Congratulations!
We had so much fun at Kelsey and Scott’s engagement session and we’re so excited for their wedding in September! These two are so much fun to photograph~they are so playful and so in love! They brought the football for part of their engagement session and those images are some of our favorites! We can’t wait to see you on your big day!
A lavender field, a breathtaking wedding gown, and a bride and groom that were meant to be…we love how our images from this special day capture a true love story.
Narah and Caleb were flawless throughout the entire day. Willowfield Lavender Farm was the perfect setting and the bride’s dress was designed around the lavender theme with intricate lavender chiffon flowers worked into the design. We loved everything about this wedding! From the adorable flower girls, to the bride’s elaborate hairstyle, it was all perfect! This is our favorite image from the entire day–it doesn’t get more romantic that this!
Recently, we had a pleasant surprise at a wedding we photographed. The bride and groom requested that it be an “unplugged wedding”.
At the sign in book, they had a framed sign that said,
“Welcome to our Unplugged Wedding. We invite you to be fully present with us during our ceremony. We would really like to see your faces, not your devices. Please turn off all cell phones and cameras.”
As wedding photographers, we try to capture every single significant moment in a wedding ceremony. By the time the date arrives, we have spent hours with the bride and groom catching their vision for what images will be the most important to them from that special day. We spend time strategizing on the day of to make sure we are respectful, yet positioned in prime locations to capture everything in just the way it needs to be to preserve this memory for the bride and groom for their lifetime. However, in the last few years as cell phones, ipads and other devices have become more popular, it has created a new challenge for wedding photographers to capture the reverent beauty of a wedding ceremony. We love that the bride and groom have loved ones capturing moments and sending them pictures later, but we can’t tell you the number of times we have been all set up, completely ready and waiting with baited breathe for the grand entrance of the bride, and as soon as the doors open at the end of the aisle, smartphones, cameras and (yes) ipads are pulled out and everyone is leaning into the aisle to try to capture her big moment…ruining the professional photographers shot that has been deemed one of the most important by the bride.
You definitely don’t want to have this happen in all of your photos…here’s a few of our favorite bloopers that other photographers have captured…
We have learned to adjust and try to work around devices, people popping into the aisle and even flashes (yes, camera flashes are not only disruptive, but ruin the light settings we have already established on our cameras), but it was refreshing to look back at our images from this particular wedding and not see electronic devices lining the aisle or blocking the bride. There are ways of being discreet with your device, but many people get swept away in the intensity of the moment and forget that there are professionals trying to capture the perfection of the ceremony. If you’re a bride that doesn’t want to have the aisle lined with electronic devices, you may consider an unplugged wedding as a wonderful way to have everyone fully present with you on your big day.
