With the beautiful weather and temperature coming back up, more outdoor boudoir shoots are going to happen, for our greateast pleasure, and those tend to spark some curiosity. Why would you do an outdoor shoot? How is that even doable? Let's dive in!
“Why would I even do an outdoor boudoir shoot?”
That’s the first question we get and there are multiple answers.
1) Some of us don't belong inside.
When you are considering having boudoir photos done, you want them to look like you. The real you, when you feel badass, confident and comfortable. At least, that's what we want for you. And some for us feel the most themselves when they are outside, especially because they are addicted to…
2) The feeling of freedom.
The outdoors, especially nature, is very often associated with peace and freedom, it's just in the air. That's why even guided meditation tend to “take” you outside. The energy is different, it is powerful and calm at the same time. Why stopping yourself from enjoying it?
3) A little extra challenge to satisfy your adventurous side.
If you are looking for an extra thrill during your boudoir shoot, shooting outdoors makes you feel SUPER badass because it is even more “unconventional” than an indoor boudoir shoot. If you have a rebellious spirit, you will definitely enjoy posing outdoors
4) The sceneries!
Why limit yourself to a home that could look like someone's else’s when you can have a beautiful scenery around you? A river, a mountain, a rooftop… It just makes it a lot more epic!
If you are feeling excited about all of those reasons, first: YAY! - then, let us take you through our logistics!
Winter works great too!
“How does it work if I want to shoot outside?”
There are a few things to consider before doing an outdoor boudoir photoshoot with us:
The best spots are semi-private
We can't really privatize an entire river, forest or street. Even though we have some secret spots that are off the beaten path, we can't guarantee that someone isn’t going to walk by. The good news ? The rare people we have seen really don't give a crap about the shoot and even apologized for disturbing us 😉
We are ninja photographers
The fact that the two of us are on every shoot makes it very easy & fast to cover you up if needed. One of us tends to stand close to you with a coat or towel while the other shoots.
We are mindful about nudity.
Chances are if you are looking to do an outdoor shoot, you are probably dreaming of having a beautiful nude or semi-nude image of yourself too (and you should, it is awesome). In case you were wondering: it is legal for women to be topless in Canada, and it has been forever, as long as we are being aware of what is around us. For example, no children around.
Since all of the spots we tend to go to are hidden, we never had a problem with nudity. Once again, having two shooters on set makes it easier to have someone on the lookout and cover you up in a second!
Partial nudity is usually a lot easier to manage, consider it if you feel like you’d want to experiment but aren’t looking to go too far!
