New Orleans Boudoir Photographer
If you’re searching for New Orleans boudoir photographers, you’re likely looking for more than beautiful images. You want an experience that feels private, respectful, and confidence-building—without pressure or unrealistic expectations.
I offer boudoir photography in New Orleans for individuals and couples who want natural, flattering images that still feel like themselves. Sessions are guided, calm, and paced to help you feel comfortable on camera, whether this is your first time or something you’ve been planning for a while.

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, creating a gift, or simply doing something for yourself, you’ll leave with images that feel elegant, intimate, and timeless.

*Choosing an in-home or client-provided location can be a cost-effective option because it reduces or eliminates the need for a separate studio booking. By using a space you already have access to, we can dedicate more of your budget to the session itself—your time in front of the camera, posing guidance, and the finished gallery—while keeping the experience comfortable, private, and personalized.
ALL sessions include:
-
“Private online gallery”
-
“Guided posing”
-
“Natural retouching”
-
“Turnaround: proof gallery → final selects”
Plan to arrive camera-ready. If you’d like buffer time to change or settle in, arrive 20–30 minutes early.

Boudoir Session Investment
Boudoir photography is as much about the experience as the images themselves. Pricing reflects the time, privacy, and care involved in creating a session that feels calm and intentional from start to finish.
What Your Session Includes
-
Guided boudoir session (1-2 hours)
-
Location planning assistance (hotel, Airbnb, or styled interior)
-
Natural, realistic retouching
-
Private online gallery for viewing and selection
There are no rushed sessions and no minimum print requirements.
Why Boudoir Pricing Is Structured This Way
Boudoir sessions require:
-
Private, closed-set environments
-
Slower pacing than standard portraits
-
Detailed post-production
Pricing reflects the level of attention given before, during, and after your session—not just time with a camera.
Prints and Albums
Prints and albums are optional and ordered separately through your gallery. This allows you to decide what you want after seeing your images, without pressure.
Booking Your Session
Dates are limited to ensure privacy and flexibility. Once booked, you’ll receive clear guidance so you know exactly what to expect.
Privacy, Comfort, Respect & Discretion
Your privacy is always respected. Your comfort comes first at every stage of the process.
Images are delivered in a private online gallery, and nothing is shared publicly without your written permission. If you’d like extra privacy protections (no social posting, no identifying details, or a closed-gallery workflow), I’m happy to accommodate.
-
Sessions are private and closed-set
-
You control what’s photographed
-
Images are never shared without permission
-
Retouching keeps skin natural, not plastic
If something doesn’t feel right at any point, we pause and adjust.
What to Expect
-
Step 1 — Quick consult: We confirm your goals, comfort level, and the style you want (soft + romantic, bold + editorial, or classic).
-
Step 2 — Prep guidance: I’ll send simple wardrobe tips, posing expectations, and how to prepare so you feel confident.
-
Step 3 — Session day: Guided posing from start to finish with a relaxed, respectful flow.
-
Step 4 — Selections + edits: You choose favorites from your proof gallery, then I retouch and deliver your final images.
-
Step 5 — Delivery: Final photos are delivered in a private online gallery for easy download and sharing.
A Quiet Confidence Session | New Orleans Boudoir Photography
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.
Many sessions remain fully private.
Who Boudoir Sessions Are For
Boudoir photography isn’t one-size-fits-all. These sessions are designed for real moments and real reasons. Boudoir is for anyone who wants a polished, confidence-forward experience—guided, comfortable, and delivered with discretion.
-
Bridal Boudoir: a timeless pre-wedding session and meaningful gift, with elegant images that feel elevated and personal
-
Couples Boudoir: intimate, romantic portraits that capture connection without feeling staged or overdone
-
Self-Confidence / Milestones: birthdays, anniversaries, transformations, or simply doing something for yourself—celebrated in a calm, supportive session
You don’t need a specific body type, age, or experience level—just a willingness to show up as you are.
Where Boudoir Sessions Take Place
Boudoir sessions can be photographed in a space that matches your comfort level and the aesthetic you want—whether that’s a clean, bright hotel look or something more personal at home.
Boudoir sessions take place in spaces chosen for privacy, comfort, and flattering light.
Depending on your preference, sessions may be photographed in:
-
A private hotel suite
-
A curated Airbnb
-
A boudoir-friendly indoor space arranged specifically for your session
I’ll help you select a location that fits the look you want and the level of privacy you prefer. No shared studios. No walk-ins. Just a closed, intentional environment.
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, luxury, vintage). 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.
Not sure which is best? Tell me the look you’re going for (bright and airy, moody and dramatic, modern, romantic), and I’ll recommend the best location approach for your session.
What the Boudoir Experience Is Like
Before the Session
-
Prep guidance so you know what to expect
-
Wardrobe suggestions (what photographs best)
-
Clear timing and pacing so nothing feels rushed
During the Session
-
Guided posing from start to finish
-
Calm direction without over-posing
-
Breaks whenever you need them
After the Session
-
A private, curated online gallery
-
Natural retouching that preserves skin texture
-
Optional prints and albums available through the gallery
The goal is a gallery that feels confident, honest, and timeless—not overproduced.
Retouching Style
My editing style is natural and flattering. I’ll clean up temporary distractions (blemishes, stray hairs, lint, minor skin texture issues) while keeping you looking like you. If you prefer a more polished editorial finish or a lighter “true-to-life” edit, we can tailor the final look.

WHAT IS BOUDOIR?
The term "boudoir" traditionally refers to a woman's private sitting room or bedroom. In the context of photography, "boudoir" has taken on a modern meaning, referring to a style of intimate, romantic, and sometimes suggestive photography.
Boudoir photography aims to capture the subject in a way that is tasteful and elegant, celebrating beauty, confidence, and sensuality.
These photo shoots often take place in a setting such as a bedroom or a similarly private, luxurious environment, and are intended to be a personal, empowering experience for those involved.
