Nightstand Portraits. Boudoir for the Bedroom!

I went to my friend Alice's house a while back, I had done her boudoir photo shoot and on her hubby's nightstand there was one of her gorgeous portraits in a beautiful frame. It was a black and white image, classy, but still very sexy. It was the perfect spot for a photo of her, after all "boudoir" means private bedroom. It got me to thinking about just how perfect boudoir photos are for a bedroom. Finding the perfect bedroom artwork has always been a challenge for me because you want it to be personal, romantic, and still not too girly. Before seeing Alice's bedroom portrait I had always thought that the album was the best way to display these intimate photos, but I now think that the bedroom portrait is a must-do accompaniment to the album. I realized that if anyone comes into your bedroom it is a close gal pal who knows you well anyway and has more that likely already seen your photos. So plaster away, you know your hubby will love it! Every type of boudoir portrait looks good, from pin-up to artsy, but my ultimate fav is black and white like Alice had in her room. -M
