Boudoir Photo Ideas

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Our Paris boudoir packages, including an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) start at only Euro 375 per hour depending on your choice of photographer.

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.
