There are so many reasons to love today’s featured boudoir shoot. The first things I thought when I saw it (and this is almost, pretty much verbatim) were this, “Simple. Sexy. Very girl next door. Holy CRAP that smoky eye is AMAZING!!! I love everything about this.”

When Katherine Henry Boudoir got together with Tara of TADA Makeup + Weddings they wanted to style a boudoir shoot that proves less can be more and be sexy too. They succeeded tenfold! Along with their beautiful model, Madison, they showed that simple can be sexy too.

{From Katherine} Tara and I love working together to style shoots. It’s so much fun to have a vision and then see it come to life. When we started thinking about Madison’s session, we wanted to go in a much different direction from the shoots we have done in the past. We are firm believers that less can be more, and wanted to show a boudoir feature that isn’t all lingerie and lace.

I have many clients who are more reserved when it comes to shooting and outfit options. I want to put it out there that you don’t have to be showing it all to be super sexy! Madison started with some boy shorts and we played around with some cute and casual tops to complete the look. I just love the soft tones in the clothing with the dark makeup that Tara did.

We also loved the lacy cami and wanted to include this in the shoot. It’s super feminine and soft, and with the dark makeup, made for the perfect contrast. Again, it’s super cute without being too revealing.

Madison was adorable and I just love how she can transform from cute and bubbly to sexy and sultry throughout the session!

I have to agree with Katherine on the whole less is more bit. Many times it’s the little showings of skin that keep him wondering, that drive him wild, and most importantly, that keep him coming back for more. I love this shoot and everything that it stands for. I love how very girl next door it is with the sweet smiles and sultry eyes. I love that it makes a statement: Simple can be sexy too. It’s how I imagine my boudoir shoot to be someday. But more on that another day… Thank you so much, Katherine, for sharing with us today! Oh, and if you’re loving the smoky eye Madison is sporting, be sure to check back tomorrow for the über sexy tutorial with Tara of TADA Makeup + Weddings! xoxo
