Let’s talk spice. 🔥
Not the kind you find in your kitchen (although… shoot in a kitchen and we might be talking both). I mean that bold, breathless, barely-buttoned energy that takes your boudoir session from sweet to scorching. But here’s the catch—it still has to feel like you. Because sexy doesn’t mean dressing up as someone you’re not. It means unzipping what’s already underneath.
Here’s how to turn the heat up—without losing yourself in the process.
1. Spice starts in the mood, not the wardrobe
Sure, lacy lingerie is cute—but have you ever seduced the camera in just a white bedsheet? Or an oversized button-up with nothing underneath? Sexy isn’t about skin—it’s about suggestion. If you feel powerful, it shows. Think attitude first, outfit second.

2. Bring your fantasies into the frame
Maybe it’s the heels you never wear. The lipstick that makes you feel too much (in the best way). The necklace your ex gave you, turned into something for you. A spicy session is the perfect place to let a little fantasy slip in—and watch what comes out.
3. Create tension, not just poses
Try movement instead of stillness. Reach for something just out of frame. Let your shirt fall open slowly. Turn away from the camera—then glance back. Think of it as a story with no words. The camera loves a tease.

4. Talk to your photographer!
If you’re craving something bolder, say it. The right photographer should never push you, but will always help pull out the sides of you you’re ready to explore. Trust is the sexiest thing in the room.
5. Keep your softness, even in the spice
This is what makes it girl-gaze. You don’t have to harden to get hotter. You don’t have to arch your back until it hurts. You can be messy. Laugh mid-shot. Look down, then up, with a little flush still in your cheeks. That is the fire.

You don’t need to go full smoke-show to feel turned on by your own image. But if you do want to flirt with your wild side? Babe, let’s do it. Extra spicy. Extra you.
