What to Expect in a Boudoir Photo Session
Boudoir is all about confidence. It’s about your beauty, your strength—yes, even your flaws. The experience itself is empowering in a way that so many women never imagined it could be, and it’s all designed to celebrate you. All of you.
Whether you’re marking a milestone, stepping into self-love, or simply ready to feel seen and celebrated, your boudoir session is a space where you can show up fully, safely, and beautifully.
As you prepare for your boudoir photo session, here are some things to expect:
A Safe, Supportive Space - You’ll be welcomed to our studio with warmth and zero judgment. From the calming candles, familiar music, to our energy, trust is the foundation of any shoot, and we are here for you. We’ll talk through your comfort level, preferences, and what you want the session to feel like.
Thoughtful Pre-Session Guidance - We also offer pre-session consultations so you can ask your questions and share your thoughts, desires, and concerns. We’ll give tips on what to bring and how to prepare, so you can walk in feeling hyped and excited. If you have questions, you’re not alone. Here are answers to 12 of our most frequently asked questions about boudoir to put your mind at ease.
Professional Hair & Makeup - All our photography sessions begin with pampering. You’ll have your hair and makeup professionally styled in a way that flatters and feels like you. This quiet moment is part of the transformation and a reminder that you are worthy of celebration.
Posing That Feels Natural ( and a little like yoga) - My clients are everyday badass women, not professional models. If you’re nervous about how you will pose for your boudoir shoot, rest assured that I will guide you through every pose with care and encouragement. You don’t have to “know what you’re doing”—you just have to show up. We’ll take care of the rest and make sure you look (and feel) stunning every step of the way.
Elegant, Artistic Imagery - Your selected images will be professionally retouched with a light hand and edited for color balance, exposure, contrast, and cropping, though we do take on a more natural approach and leave elements like scars and tattoos that tell your story (unless otherwise specified).
A week after your photoshoot, you will come back to our Austin, Texas studio and select your final images. This is a private appointment where, through bubbles and chocolate, you get to see a slideshow of your stunning images and select your very favorite ones. Based on your selection, you will receive your digitals and be able to place orders for your printed products. All our products are made in Europe with the finest quality, and delivery and installation of selected wall art is part of your purchase!
