Boudoir: The Best Location

The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa

If you are wondering where the best place to shoot your boudoir session is, well, you could always commission us to shoot at the uber luxurious The Twelve Apostles in Cape Town, South Africa. Condé Nast Traveler Magazine lists it among the 80 best new hotels in the world. We certainly wouldn't turn you down!

But is there really a "best" place to shoot? We'd have to say no. The options are many and really depend on your personal style and perhaps how much you want to spend. Regardless, the possibilities are endless. Your session can take place in a studio, in your own home, in someone else's home, at a hotel or even outside (yep, outside...but more on that later). It's really a matter of preference but here are some things to think about (for Mrs. Spradlin, my beloved 6th grade English teacher, "Here are some things about which to think.").

First, determine your budget. Then you'll want to look for a location that suits both your personality and the wardrobe you plan to wear. Maybe something classic or vintage would be more suitable than something modern and chic. Keep in mind that a spacious space works best - and if it offers more than one backdrop, that's super fabulous. Lastly, be on the lookout for huge picture windows and remember that lots of natural light is our very best friend.
