Ms. A brought her A game (pun intended) to her session, along with The Magic Hat. Seriously, this hat was the best. She loves it and is comfortable with it, which was reflected in her ease and comfort in the photos. AND, it was the perfect prop for some implied nude images.

“Implied nudes” are a common theme in boudoir sessions. Depending on your comfort level, you might actually be nude for these shots, or have on a bra and panties for mental comfort. Either way, you appear nude in the image, with something — feathers, a sheet, a fabulous hat — covering your bits. I have lots of items in my studio closet to create that implied effect, but the hat Ms. A brought was perfect for her.
