Retouching keeps skin natural, not plastic

For studio-location sessions, the space may be a hotel suite, boudoir studio, or Airbnb-style location reserved specifically for your shoot and selected to match your preferred look. I prioritize privacy, layout, flattering light, and comfort.
In-Home Sessions (Save up to $250*)
In-home sessions are best if you want privacy, comfort, and a space you already know. I’ll help you work with the best light and cleanest areas of your home.

*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.

-
Guided posing from start to finish
-
Private online gallery
-
Natural retouching
-
Clean edits with natural skin tones

Why Boudoir Pricing Is Structured This Way
Boudoir sessions require private locations, slower pacing, guided posing, careful editing, and a discreet delivery process. Pricing reflects the time and attention before, during, and after your session — not just the time with the camera.

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.
You do not need a specific body type, age, or experience level. I’ll guide the session step by step so you are not left guessing what to do.
Where Boudoir Sessions Take Place
Boudoir sessions take place in spaces chosen for privacy, comfort, flattering light, and the look you want.
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
-
Your home
I’ll help you select a location that fits the style 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, 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.
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.
A Comfortable, Private Boudoir Experience in New Orleans
Boudoir should feel private, respectful, and confidence-building. I keep sessions calm and guided with clear direction, flattering angles, and a pace that helps you feel comfortable throughout the shoot.
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, creating a gift, or simply doing something for yourself, the goal is to create clean, flattering images that feel polished, personal, and still like you.
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.
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 finish or a lighter true-to-life edit, we can discuss that before final edits begin.

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.
Client identity and images are shared with explicit consent.
