Here you are, you’ve finally given yourself an amazing, empowering and life changing boudoir experience. You’ve received your beautiful images and you are completely speechless with the way your photos look and how they make you feel about yourself. And now you’re overwhelmed by feeling a huge boost of confidence, strength and self-worth. HELL YESSSSS!
So, the next question is: How do I make this feeling carry into every new day?
Well, we’ve come up 5 of the best options that you can use to showcase those great images to keep your self-love journey going.
The 5 BEST ways are:
1. Put your pictures up around your closet or a mirror that you use to look at yourself daily..
I had a client tell me recently that when she needed a reminder of her worth, she would look at that picture in the morning and it would remind her just how sexy she was before she started the day. And to me that makes so much sense! It’s so important that you start your day off with a mantra reminding yourself how brave + beautiful you truly are.
2. We’ve got an app for you!
Don’t want to hang any photos up in your house but love your images? How does the opportunity to look at ya damn self and celebrate whenever and wherever you are?! Don’t worry, we’ve got an app you.. With this app, you can admire, show off and celebrate these beautiful images throughout the day, everyday. Whatever it may be, you absolutely cannot go wrong with having your images at your fingertips.
So simple to set up and you can have it on your personal phone as well as a significant others. Or…. even your best friends phone! What are best friends for anyways?! ;) You’ll be *obsessed* with the ease of this!
Add-on this option to any collection!
3. You’re art + deserve be on the wall too!
Surprise yourself and your guests by putting up a beautiful large Acrylic of you in your living room. I know you’re thinking – “OMG.. I could never put my body on display like that!” Well you’re wrong.. because YOU CAN DO IT! The image you display does not have to be uber sexy or revealing either, it could be just a photo where you feel your most beautiful; laughing and wrapped up in the sheets!
Also, our Acrylic wall art products are not an add-on item which means that you can purchase this item by itself a la carte or they are included in most Collections!
4. Which month are you? How about ALL off them!
One of our most popular add-on items is our 12 month calendar! With the new year upon us, how fun and original is that?! Think about it, you get to take 12 pictures from your session and create a calendar, each month is a little more exciting than the last! The perfect gift for an office or just your damn self!
5. Purchase a beautiful box to place your prints in + keep them next to your bed for a perfect little reminder of your strength!
Are you more simple and like options? The Vintage Glass Heirloom Box is the perfect add-on option for you! The box itself is made of metal, glass + has a sliding locking device on the front to ensure your photos are displayed clearly but also protected simultaneously. The perfect item to display next to your bed or even on the coffee table making your photos easy to show off!
6. How about showcasing your gorgeous pictures in a Genuine Italian Leather Album?
The perfect gift or keepsake for anyone would be our Leather Layflat Album. Each album comes with 20+ of your fav photos and you can choose between 12 different cover options! Our albums come in many sizes, our smallest size being 5X5 and our largest album being 12X12. And although we offer many sizes, our most popular size with our clients is easily the 8X8. Our Latflat Leather Albums are not an add-on item which means that you can purchase this item by itself a la carte or they are included in most Collections!
I truly hope that this helps you with your decision on how to showcase your images!
Whether you choose an add-on item paired with a beautiful wall art, an album or maybe even our mobile app, we cannot wait for you to see your images!

I wholeheartedly believe that Boudoir is an amazingly empowering experience that every woman deserves to have at least once in their lifetime! Today, I’ve got 10 secrets to make sure you have an unforgettable sesh! Are you ready?!
#1: You *are* going to be nervous.
Seriously. Even in just the smallest of ways! Unless you wear lingerie often or in the model industry, you probably haven’t done anything like this before… and you’re not alone.
I consider this to be one of the most exciting feelings during your experience – some of the best experiences in life come when we push ourselves out of our own comfort zones! Being nervous means you’re growing. Let yourself blossom!
#2: Plan ahead & think about what you want to do to showcase your photos!
Are you giving your boudoir photos to someone as a gift? Are you wanting to showcase your photos by hanging them on the wall? Or how about leather bound lay flat album he will keep in his nightstand? Or even a man heirloom box of all your favorite images printed out.
We offer only the highest quality products and only items that our team absolutely loves and recommends. These are purchased separately from your session fee. Plan to save up to your session date, use your Boudie Bank savings account or you may also pre-pay through our website or Venmo for bonuses! Check out those options here.
#3: Try on your outfits at home.
Make sure all of your pieces fit! And one of the biggest tips ever… make sure all tags are removed. Bring any and all wardrobe items that you love and that make you feel sexy. If you are having trouble picking outfits, bring them all, we LOVE to help choose was will really make your photos everything you’ve wished for!
#4: Personalize your shoot.
Bring fun or sentimental props to personalize your boudoir shoot and make it a little more *you*. How about a special blanket you bought on vacay or the heirloom necklace you wore at your wedding? Bring anything that makes the shoot special for you! We’ll incorporate it one way or another!
PS- less is more. Don’t over-do it with the props! After all, we want the main focus to be YOU.
#5: You don’t have to bare everything.
An off-the-shoulder sweater can be just as sexy as a lingerie set. Your photographer will know how to make anything you bring look great on camera. You do not have to be nude for your photoshoot, as that is a huge misconception when it comes to boudoir. Be comfy if that’s what makes you feel good!
#6: Get your hair + makeup done professionally.
Many boudoir studios offer hair + makeup as part of your boudoir experience (we DO) – if your studio of choice does, then definitely take advantage of those services… you won’t regret it! But, if you find that your photographer does not offer this, then we definitely recommend going to your local salon to get these services done beforehand for that extra glamorous look!
#7: Secret Boudoir Session?
Get your lies ready babe. Not that we support lying… but you might be wanting to keep this boudoir shoot a surprise. Will your significant other be wondering why you’re coming home with your hair and makeup professionally done? You can say that you and your girls needed a day at the salon! Or that you’re trying a new makeup brand! We’ve got all the tips on how to keep it a secret until you’re ready to share!
#8: Hire a Photographer that you trust.
Getting boudoir photos taken is a very personal experience, so you want to go with a photographer you trust. Always read online reviews + talk to the photographer about any concerns that you may have, and don’t be shy about asking ALL of the questions!
This is an absolute MUST and if you feel nervous, you’ll look nervous in your final images.
#9: And then trust your photographer!
After you’ve booked your shoot, take a deep breath + let your photographer take control, we know exactly what to do. We know how to pose + light you to get the most flattering images. Trust your photographer + their artistic vision, but never be afraid to speak up if you have ideas of your own!
#10: Make plans to go out after your session!
Do something fun the night after your session– you’re going to look gorgeous and feel so empowered – don’t let that amazing energy go to waste! Plan a date night or go out with the girls, whatever you do, make it exciting!
I truly hope that this helps make your session the most unforgettable Experience!
Whether you choose me, or another photographer… know that you deserve this.

If you’re thinking about booking a Boudoir Experience, you probably have a ton of questions, totally normal… One of your biggest questions might be about how much skin you’ll want to show, not only in front of the camera but to a complete stranger at that. To me, this makes complete sense! As unique individuals, we all have varying levels of comfort in sharing our bodies with others. And as a boudoir photographer, I 100% understand this!
A HUGE part of my job as your boudoir photographer is to take photos of you that reflect this very personal decision of how much skin to have exposed during a session. Some of my clients feel totally comfortable baring it all for their photos + other clients are much more modest and feel sexy just as they are in their own t-shirt or oversized sweater.. As far as I’m concerned, both ends of the spectrum (+ EVERYTHING in between) is perfect. And at the end of the day if there is one thing that I can say without any hesitation about boudoir photography, it’s this: boudoir photos are real + all about you. You get to choose what feels right for you + how much skin you decide to bare is just one of those decisions. What to wear, how much make-up to apply, whether or not to tan, how to pose, how much of yourself you share with the camera are all decisions that are based on your very own personal preferences. And trust me, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Having boudoir photos taken by a professional + reliable photographer isn’t a cookie-cutter experience. Each session is as unique as the clients I work with, + just as no two people are the same, no two sessions are the same. Your job as a client is to tell me how much of yourself you want to share + my job as your photographer is to listen to your wants and needs and give those to you in your photos.
Are you ready to figure out how much skin we are showing today?!
I truly hope that this helps give some clarity and comfort in regards to your Boudoir Experience! If you have any questions, we’d love to help you!
