A client is asking for a portrait session featuring lingerie and possibly implied or artistic nude images. They want to capture their current look before major life changes, and I’m trying to describe the style professionally. What is the common photography term for this kind of session?

The most common term is boudoir photography.
Boudoir usually refers to intimate, sensual portraiture, often photographed in lingerie, robes, sheets, or implied nude poses. It is typically styled to be flattering and tasteful rather than explicit. Depending on how far the session goes, some people may also describe it as glamour portraiture or fine-art nude portraiture, but boudoir is the standard term most clients and photographers will recognize for this kind of request.
A good approach is to use clear, professional language in your portfolio and client communication, and define exactly what you do and do not offer.
