Q: Why did you choose to do a session? What were you most excited about?
A: After seeing a mutual friend on Facebook post about Billie's page, I saw an event for her open house in her NEW Ashland Studio. I recruited one of my girlfriends to come with me. We were the very first ones in line; eager to get a goody bag and see the studio.
Q: What were your thoughts before booking the Boudoir by Billie Experience?
A: I was hesitant to book at first, more nervous than anything, but I couldn't pass up the VIP booking for attending the open house and ended up booking that night after more than a few wonderful ladies there convinced me it was more than worth it! I also booked it a few months in advance to save up some money and round
up something to wear.
Q: How did you feel when you saw your photographs for the very first time?
A: When I went to my reveal and saw my photos for the first time, I got goosebumps that lasted forever. I had the hardest time trying to narrow it down to what I wanted to order, so I added a few bonus pages for my album, and ended up just purchasing the app with ALL my pictures
so I could look at them anytime I needed the confidence boost.
Q: What was your favorite part about the whole experience?
A: My favorite part about the whole experience was the reveal. Billie put together a video with all the pics and my favorite song and we just sat back and watched it - not gonna lie I got butterflies and teary eyed.
Q: What do you say to anyone thinking about booking a session?
A: All I have to say to those of you thinking about booking is; "Treat yourself!" It's one of the most exhilarating experiences and I think everyone should do it at least once in their life. (Also, some advice for the budget conscious babes like myself, apply for a credit card that gives you a bonus if you spend x amount of dollars in the first 3 months to help you pay AND most don't incur interest for at least the 1st 12 months.)
Q: Did a boudoir session with Billie change the way you see yourself?
A: My session with Billie definitely helped me understand and see that I AM beautiful. Stretch marks, scars, rolls & all. It honestly did wonders with my own self confidence and even within my relationship as well.

Long time no talk, gorgeous! SO. EXCITED. YOU’RE. HERE.
I always appreciate you tuning in to see what we’ve got going on in the studio. By now you all know that Marisa & I are always working hard to have the VERY BEST space for you to enjoy and utilize during your Boudoir by Billie Experience. We moved into the new space in April and have been changing little by little every day - evolving into US! This is what the current space is looking like… Cozy, right?!
You’re probably wondering what we’re working on right now… And if you FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM, you already know what’s up! But if you don’t, you should go ahead and do that right now - and you also have no idea, and you’re definitely in for a treat!
For months now, we’ve been back and forth on what to put on our very front
wall when you first walk in the door. This also happens to be our
naturally lit STUDIO SPACE as well! This is where all of the magic happens… lame. But true.
** Here’s a photo of the wall in-use before we decided to cover her with
something bright and fun! It’s still pretty and gives a moody feel, but
we were ready for something different.
We decided to go with a FLORAL wallpaper with a nice, clean, vintage
feel. If you know me, you know that I am not the biggest fan of pink,
but decided to just go with it. Marisa, on the other hand - always yelling at me to add more pink into the decor. We’re getting there… Besides - you have to be a LITTLE girly
sometimes, right? I can’t just have an all black studio (or can i??) ;)
Marisa volunteered herself to help as long as I just “bought the damn thing” - those are her words… she really loves me and how indecisive I can be when making Studio decisions! She’s kind of the best in all the ways if I am being honest! LOVE having her a part of the team here in the Studio! Would you believe me when I say that it only took us AN HOUR AND A HALF, ladies?! Couldn’t have done it without the help from M! PLUS we didn’t even bicker at each other when putting it up!
Can we get a round of applause over here?!
VOILA! Here she is in all of her glory - completely dried, finished and wrapped in the beautiful natural light from our big windows! We can’t WAIT to see what we create with this beautiful wall!
Let us know what you think! Would you want some photos against this wall at your session?! Contact us to book your Boudoir Experience today!

For those of you who have followed from the beginning, you know that
every year we like to throw a “birthday party” for Boudoir by Billie
growing another year older. But this year just so happened to be an
extra-special event: a LADIES NIGHT in our BRAND NEW BOUDOIR STUDIO,
located in downtown Ashland, MO. In the months leading up to the
celebration, we put a lot of thought, time & energy into the entire
design and space, and wanted to share it to commemorate our GRAND
OPENING with all of you lovely ladies as a way of appreciating you for
your love, support & beauty!
At 6:15, a line of early birds stretched outside the door and onto
the sidewalk, each gorgeous gal eager be one of the first to snatch up a
grab bag filled with amazing items donated and purchased by local
women/businesses. The bags were a fun way to say THANKS and remind you
all how important each and every one of you has been on our journey. And
a 1-hour full body massage by Evexia Massage was just ONE of the amazing prizes
available to win as a door prize just for attending! We wanted each and every woman to feel pampered on this important evening! We also offered a $149 Booking Fee for ONE NIGHT ONLY - keep reading to grab the voucher code for your own Boudoir by Billie Experience at this rate (reg. $350)! Ready to book?! Click here to find out more!
When 7’oclock rolled around, it was finally time to open the doors! Girls poured in, the first 12 grabbed their prize bags and each and every woman was able to grab a bag of tickets to enter into the door prizes. We munched on lingerie cookies (huge thanks to Dream Cakes by Michaela for making them for me!) drank wine and champagne while mingling & celebrating the evening away until the grand prizes were finally drawn at 8:05!
Throughout the evening, over 50 women came out to help us celebrate,
and we couldn’t have been any more excited and thankful for all who did!
YOU amazing ladies are one of the biggest reasons we’re here to
celebrate! It was an honor and so much fun to meet and chat with you
all: WOMEN SUPPORTING WOMEN is extremely important and we’re so happy
you chose to spend your evening with us!
A special THANK YOU to Kayla & Stephanie, who braved the big
crowd to speak about their personal stories from the Boudoir by Billie
Experience.
Kayla spoke about how excited she was to give her photos as a
wedding gift to her husband-to-be, and Stephanie raved about her
experience, saying “It started out I was wearing a mesh bra and panties with stilettos, and I am wondering what AM I DOING?!! But by the end of the session, I was so DAMN CONFIDENT! And this is just from ONE HOUR of a boudoir session, with Billie, which showed me a woman I couldn’t see myself - but am able to now!” With tears in her eyes and a new found fire in her heart, she went on to say “If you are on the edge of a session.. JUST DO IT! I promise you.. It’s more than worth it.” Both women’s stories
illustrated how anybody, from any walk of life, deserves to feel beauty
in their own skin, the ultimate driving goal behind our Boudoir Experience in the studio and message in general!
Once again, THANK YOU ladies for your love and support! We hope you
enjoyed celebrating with us, and already can’t wait for next time!
During the open house, we offered a $149 limited-time only booking
special (reg. $350), and want to extend that TO YOU as well! The
special includes the full Boudoir Experience and Hair / Makeup by
Marisa, as well as $100 toward your collection of choice. Use special
voucher code “OPENHOUSE” while BOOKING HERE (expires 8/20)!
