Boudoir Photo Ideas
Enjoy a playful Parisian boudoir with sensual photos as unique as you.
Your questions answered by the most trusted Boudoir photographer in Paris
Our friendly boudoir photographers make it super-easy to feel confident and enjoy a playful adventure with sexy boudoir photos as unique as you.
Want to avoid unflattering, run-of-the-mill boudoir photos—notably when you travel to Paris?
Well, of course, you do. So the real question, then, is “how?”
You see, Parisian boudoir photographers are not created equal—many tend to use one-size-fits-all studios or their apartments.
Accordingly, you’d come in during a designated time slot and go straight into your boudoir photo shoot.
No perfectly chilled Champagne to take the edge off. No decadent Parisian treats to energize you. And no time to build trust with your artist or comfort with the environment.
The result?
You might feel vulnerable and not let your guard down.
Your Paris boudoir photography can become a tad formulaic, leaving little time for you to feel gorgeous in your skin and, above all, have a fantastic experience.
It’s unfortunate, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
At Kiss Me in Paris, we understand that the French boudoir is an extraordinary chance for you to celebrate yourself (or as a couple) … possibly leading up to or following a significant life event.
We want you to laugh, enjoy every minute, and walk away over the moon with your investment.
What should I do before a boudoir shoot?
Before your boudoir shoot in Paris, it's essential to prepare a little. Preparation makes a big difference in terms of what you'll get out of your photo session and how confidently you'll arrive "on set."
We encourage you to connect with your boudoir photographer early—ideally via a live Zoom, so you're not total strangers when you meet.
Together you'll optionally create and refine a private Pinterest inspiration board.
You should go over sexy outfit choices, accessories, music, poses, editing style, and the timeline and flow of the day. Above all, you'll already get to meet.
How should I pose my body and my face for boudoir photos?
As you'll notice in our portfolio below, there are no hard rules on how to pose for boudoir pictures. But if we had just one recommendation, it would be to pose such that you do not show everything. The idea of an authentic French boudoir is to tease, intrigue, and leave the viewer wanting to see more.
Next, we suggest a good mixture of sitting, standing (frontal and from the rear), and lying poses. Variety is key!
The same applies to how your face interacts with the lens. For example, it can be super-sexy when you shyly look down, arrange your hair, or play with a pearl necklace. Then again, there's also something about a girl who confidently looks directly at you and lets her eyes do the talking. Finally, try the dreamy gaze toward a window or slightly away from the camera.
Who should book a Paris boudoir photo shoot?
Any person who wants to give herself a special gift.
Our boudoir shoots will make you feel beautiful, confident, feminine, and above all, result in an unforgettable, empowering experience.
Perhaps you want to celebrate a significant life event and treat yourself to an extraordinary, confidence-boosting adventure. Or you want to spice up the relationship by surprising your partner with sexy photos. Maybe you've always been curious ... and want to have your body professionally captured.
Well, if you are not yet convinced, feel free to set up a complimentary consultation or have a look at these 10 reasons to book a boudoir session.
What if I'm not a model and don't love the way I look?
When you're comfortable with your photographer and environment, you'll fall deeply in love with your boudoir experience and photos, including any perceived bodily imperfections.
It's almost mind-blowing how often we initially detect concerns and hesitation ... just to subsequently witness awe and excitement.
Looking and feeling gorgeous in boudoir photography is more about confidence, intimacy, and being unapologetically YOU instead of looking like a model.
How much should I spend on my boudoir photographer?
Boudoir shoots are not created equal, and neither are boudoir photographers. Generally speaking, studio boudoir sessions are significantly more affordable than hiring more creative artists and a boutique hotel suite. Sure, we are biased toward unique boudoir photos instead of one-size-fits-all, cold studios. But that is a call for you to make.
When you commission boudoir pictures in a major city, such as New York or Paris, expect to pay at least Euro 350-700 Euro per hour depending on the photographer's experience and credentials.
Our boudoir packages range from only Euro 375-650 per hour depending on your choice of photographer.
Do you bring your own clothes to a boudoir shoot?
You'd be surprised how often we get this question. First, let's get the obvious out of the way. We do not recommend wearing any outfits a studio may offer you. It already sounds unhygienic to wear attire others have worn before you. Importantly, it implies you'd presumably look like another model, which is not so cool.
We'd be delighted to provide feedback on which lingerie, props, sexy shoes, and outfits work amazingly in boudoir photos.
Practically, some hotel suites and studio settings may feel too hot or cool, so bring layers with you.
Should I hire a beauty artist for my sexy boudoir photos?
Let's make this one easy: yes, you'd be remiss not to hire a beauty professional for boudoir photos.
An experienced hair & makeup artist will make you look your absolute best while saving you precious time when you're after multiple looks.
Plus, a cool artist will be an uplifting presence and make you feel even more comfortable.
Let us know if you need help identifying a talented artist in Paris, and we can put you in touch.
Do you also offer video services for my Paris boudoir?
Absolutely. We are one of few studios in town that are experienced in both video and photo. Plus, our artists know each other well and seamlessly work in concert. The benefit for you? Fewer administrative touch-points, expert preparation, and world-class photos and film.
What are your rates and what's included with your Paris boudoir packages?
Our Paris boudoir packages, including an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) start at only Euro 375 per hour depending on your choice of photographer.

How do I cancel or reschedule?
It's sometimes impossible to keep your Paris boudoir appointment despite the best intentions.
We've seen it all, from airport disruptions and canceled flights to visa issues, strikes, health, pregnancy, job conflicts, and many other problems.
We ask you to communicate with us in real-time, so we can help find a solution (or reschedule).
Here's our CANCELLATION GUARANTEE:
- All Paris-based boudoir shoots come with an unconditional 100%, no questions asked, cancellation guarantee up to 7 days before the scheduled start of your appointment;
- If you cancel within 7 days from the scheduled start of your shoot, 100% of the deposit becomes a non-refundable retainer (and so there is no refund);
- If you do not show up for your scheduled boudoir appointment—and assuming you did not cancel in writing 7 days in advance—100% of the deposit becomes a non-refundable retainer;
- However, we will always help you reschedule (when possible) and, otherwise, provide a 1-year credit towards a future Parisian boudoir session.
