What to Wear Wednesday - Staying comfortable during hot and sunny days

The current heat and humidity that we have had this week has inspired a blog entry. Some of the more obvious boudoir photography related attire can be a little bit uncomfortable, especially when you add hair and make-up to the picture. When you are having your session either outdoors or an older building which lacks openable windows and A/C, the hot weather can make it a challenge for both the phoographer and the client. So this blog post is all about staying comfortable in the type of climate we are in.

For my new clients, who are new to boudoir, I always start the session with the client wearing some less revealing attire to give them a chance to get comfortable. Something to start with that is light and airy and still sexy is a sundress. When picking one out focus on the material. Make sure it light and a little bit sheer. And then, don't forget bring a range of accessories to really finish the outfit. These can include cowboy boots, a hair scarf...which I am in love with this look. I just can't seem to to find the right scarf or tie it correctly. And sometimes "the right" accessory is nothing at all. Go barefoot.

Sometimes the best outfit is what you already have in your closet.
