Christmas Boudoir Photo Ideas
A Christmas photoshoot can feel cozy and cute, but, when seductively styled, it can turn into a hot and provoking-themed shooting! Let’s see how.
1. Sexy light wrap

2. Christmas beauty
A more elegant, yet still sensual shot can be taken from the top, while your model lies surrounded by Christmas balls and decorations, or an ornamental backdrop. A sexier bonus tip is to have her pose topless or in lingerie to add some extra heat to the picture.
