What is boudoir photography you ask.
Photography that is typically shot in a photographer's studio or luxury hotel suites, it has become fashionable to create a set of sensual or sexually suggestive images of women (and occasionally men and couples) in "boudoir style". The most common manifestation of contemporary boudoir photography is to take variations of candid and posed photographs of the subject partly clothed or in lingerie. Nudity is more often implied than explicit.

There are two options for boudoir photos, 1 take them yourself or 2 hire a professional. Both ways you can get some great images.
First of all you will probably feel a little awkward taking boudoir photos at first. This is natural, most people don't walk around partial undressed in front of a camera. Just relax. Make sure you have a few hours to your self and go all out, get your hair and makeup (put on much heavy then you would think is acceptable) done so you feel your best! Some people may even enjoy a glass of wine or two before they start to help with the jitters.

Be prepared to put in a lot of time, take a lot of photos and be very patient with your equipment and most importantly yourself. This is not easy to do yourself, but you can do it.
Equipment Needed:
Tripod (or a friend or professional photographer)
Camera
Remote/Timer
Room with little clutter and fabulous window light (doesn't have to be a bedroom)
Music to help you relax
Bottle of Wine LOL ;)

What to Wear:
If you want to look glamorous you have to play the part
In realty, very few people look great in just a bra and panties. Instead, go for a bustier, chemise, a slinky cocktail dress or other forms of lingerie that might suit your body type a bit better than just a bra and panties. You can also wear something fun, like a sports jersey from your significant other’s favorite team, or even just his business dress shirts and tie or just the tie :). Just remember most boudoir is not done Nude, you can wear as little or as much as you are comfortable with.

Don't Forget about accessories:
Accessories totally turn a good boudoir photo into an unbelievable boudoir photo.
Start with a killer pair of heels, or boots.
Nylons of course – but gloves look great too.
And go for a big chunky necklace and earrings.

Editing your photos:
First adjust your exposure
Then your white balance
You can increase saturation to enhance colors of your clothing
