New Orleans Boudoir Photography
Private, guided boudoir sessions with flattering lighting, natural retouching, and complete control over whether your images are ever shared.
Sessions are available in privately rented studio-style spaces, hotel suites, Airbnb-style locations, or the comfort of your own home throughout New Orleans and South Louisiana. I'll help you choose a location that fits your style, comfort level, and privacy needs.
Sessions start at $600 in-home / $750 studio-location.

Boudoir Lighting & Posing Experience
Every boudoir session presents different lighting, body positioning, and location challenges. I adjust light direction, contrast, camera angles, and posing to complement each client's features, skin tone, and preferred style. Whether working with soft window light in a hotel suite or controlled lighting in a darker room, my goal is to create flattering portraits while maintaining natural skin texture and realistic color.

Who Boudoir Sessions Are For
Boudoir is not one-size-fits-all. These sessions are designed for real people with real reasons for booking — whether that is a wedding gift, a birthday, a personal reset, a milestone, or simply wanting to see yourself with more confidence.
-
Bridal Boudoir: A private pre-wedding session and meaningful gift option with guided posing and natural retouching.
-
Couples Boudoir: A private session for couples who want images that feel connected, comfortable, and not overly staged.
-
Confidence and Milestone Sessions: A good fit for birthdays, anniversaries, personal changes, or doing something for yourself.
-
Private Keepsakes: A discreet session for clients who want images for themselves, with no public sharing unless permission is given.
Where Boudoir Sessions Take Place
Hotel / Boutique Hotel
A great option for a polished, editorial feel with clean backgrounds and consistent light. We’ll choose a room that photographs well and keep the session simple and relaxed.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental
Ideal if you want a specific style (minimal, romantic, vintage, bold, or polished). The best rentals have strong window light, neutral walls, and enough open space to shoot comfortably.
In-Home (Your Space)
Perfect if you want the most private and personal experience. I’ll work with your best window light and help you create clean, flattering setups using the space you already have.
Real Boudoir Session: Quiet Confidence
Not every boudoir session is about lingerie or posing—it’s about how someone wants to feel when they see themselves.
This client booked her session as a personal reset. No upcoming wedding. No gift deadline. Just the desire to slow down, be present, and experience something intentional for herself. We kept the session private and relaxed, working with natural window light and simple movements that felt comfortable rather than performative.
There was no pressure to “look” a certain way. The focus stayed on calm expressions, subtle posing, and letting moments unfold naturally. The result was a gallery that felt honest, grounded, and confident—without being forced or overly styled.
Sessions like this are a reminder that boudoir doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.
Client identity and images are shared with explicit consent.

What the Boudoir Experience Is Like
Before the Session

Optional albums, prints, and other keepsakes are available if you want something tangible from the session.

Glam Birthday Boudoir Shoot | New Orleans Boudoir Photography
A birthday boudoir session can be more than a photoshoot. It can be a way to pause, celebrate yourself, and create something that reflects the woman you are right now.
This client wanted a session that felt bold, feminine, elegant, and personal. We photographed her at Seven16 on Canal Street in New Orleans, using natural light, guided posing, and multiple wardrobe changes to create a full gallery with range.
The session moved from soft daytime looks into a moodier evening setup, giving each part of the shoot its own feel. The result was a birthday boudoir gallery that felt grown, intentional, and fully centered on her.
Sessions like this are a reminder that boudoir is not just for brides or younger women. It is for any woman who wants to celebrate her beauty, confidence, and the season of life she is in.
