Boudoir photography is a powerful way to embrace self-love and confidence, and what better way to enhance that experience than by incorporating nature?
A nature-themed boudoir session allows you to connect with the outdoors and celebrate your body in an organic way. At Beauty in Boudoir, we love shooting outdoors to take advantage of the natural light and the scenery we have here in St. Charles, Missouri.
Here are some of our favorite nature-themed boudoir ideas to inspire your shoot.
Choose Outfits and Accessories Inspired by Nature
The right outfit can elevate your nature-inspired boudoir session, making you feel both ethereal and empowered.
For outdoor shoots, we love:
Earthy Tones & Natural Fabrics – Opt for soft, flowing fabrics like lace, linen, or sheer tulle in earthy hues such as moss green, warm browns, or soft ivory.
Floral & Botanical Prints – A delicate floral lace bodysuit or a sheer robe with embroidered leaves can subtly tie in the theme.
Minimalist or Barefoot Looks – Sometimes, less is more. A simple, sheer slip can create an intimate feel.
Outdoor Boudoir Locations for a Natural Backdrop
We have plenty of experience shooting outdoor boudoir sessions! Getting right out in nature itself is the best way to incorporate this theme into your shoot.
A secluded spot with towering trees, soft moss, and dappled sunlight create a magical, fairy-tale atmosphere.
Areas with water features are also ideal. You can create a lot of visual interest with reflections and the light off the water.
We're always mindful of your privacy when shooting outdoors. We also carefully consider the weather. If it's too cloudy, the lack of natural light could impact the quality of your images, so we keep an eye on the forecast leading up to our outdoor shoots.
Embrace Natural Beauty
A nature-inspired boudoir session is about celebrating authenticity, so we take a minimal approach to hair and makeup.
Our in-house stylist will use natural tones and subtle highlights for a fresh, glowing complexion. Free-flowing, loose curls will give you a carefree, nature-goddess vibe.
When it comes to accessories, ditch the heels and let your bare feet connect with the earth, whether on soft grass or smooth sand. Minimal or no jewelry will keep the focus on your natural beauty.
If you do want to include accessories, choosing ones made of natural fibers (like the sunhat above) will help keep your shoot on-theme.
