So you’ve been thinking about doing a boudoir shoot. You’re curious, maybe a little nervous, and you probably have a lot of questions about boudoir photoshoots.
You’re in the right place.
As a boudoir photographer based right here in Jacksonville, I get asked a lot of questions from first-time clients. That’s totally normal. Boudoir is intimate, empowering, and personal, so you deserve to feel fully informed before you step in front of the camera.
Let’s break down the top 10 most common questions about boudoir that I hear from clients before their shoot:
Not at all! Nudity is completely optional. Some clients go full glam in lingerie, while others feel most confident in a robe, an oversized tee, or a two-piece that shows just enough. Boudoir is about capturing your essence, not anyone else’s expectations. You’ll never be asked to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.
Only with your permission. Your images are yours, and your privacy is top priority. I never share photos unless you’ve signed a release saying you’re 100% okay with it. If you want to keep it just between us, it stays that way.
Boudoir is a solo experience in my studio. This time is just for you. No partners, no friends…just you, me, and a hype-filled space where you get to focus fully on yourself. This helps protect the vibe, keep the energy empowering, and allows you to relax and fully step into your moment.
Here’s a quick list to pack:
Don’t worry if you’re not sure. We’ll go over it all in your pre-session planning call. I’ll help you style your looks so everything feels seamless.
Please don’t. Spray tans (even from professional studios) often leave uneven patches, residue on clothing, and can look off under studio lighting. Your natural skin tone will always photograph best. Promise.
Some simple prep goes a long way:
We’ll handle hair, makeup, posing, and guidance. All you need to do is show up and trust the process.
Totally. I hear this every single week, and guess what? Every single woman walks out feeling confident, proud, and on top of the world. You don’t have to know how to pose. You don’t have to be a certain size. All you have to do is show up as you are.
Boudoir is about celebrating you as you are, not waiting for a “better” version. I specialize in posing and lighting that flatter every body. We’ll highlight your favorite features and shift the focus away from anything you feel unsure about. You are worthy of this experience now, not 10 pounds from now.
Yes, and so many do. Boudoir sessions make stunning, intimate gifts for anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, or just because. But here’s the twist…most women end up realizing it was really a gift to themselves all along.
My private studio is located in Jacksonville, Florida, and it’s designed with intention: beautiful natural light, curated sets, and a full glam area so you can feel pampered from start to finish. It’s your personal confidence cocoon for the day.
Whether you’re doing this to celebrate a milestone, reconnect with yourself, or just feel sexy AF, this is your moment. I’ve got you every step of the way. Let’s get you on the calendar!
