I want you to know that I see you...

The Holidays are my favorite time of year.

Not just because of the exciting festivities that we get to celebrate, but also because we have so much fun doing our Holiday boudoir sessions!

I love getting creative with you ladies and helping you capture one-of-a-kind boudoir images at our studio in Helena, Montana.

After many years serving clients in our luxury Montana Boudoir photography studio, I’ve heard just about every question you could think of! From questions about wardrobe to session day logistics - you name it!

So, I thought I’d cover some recently asked questions for those curious about what it’s like to book your boudoir experience with our studio!

Let’s dive in…

Our bridal boudoir shoots are one of my favorite kinds of sessions because of the deeply personal and romantic meaning they hold. These sessions are a celebration of new chapters, the new life that you are embarking on with your partner, and so much love.

When thinking about your bridal boudoir shoot, it’s exciting to envision how you might share your images with your partner. Whether it’s something they help you plan or a total surprise!

Let me take one thing off your plate: your wedding and engagement gift.

Before I get into it, I have some exciting news to announce!

I am so excited to share one of our recent intimate boudoir photoshoots featuring our stunning client, Natalie.

One of my favorite things about Natalie’s in-studio boudoir session was that she chose the most stunning jeweled toned lingerie pieces. These colors really brought out the sultry, passionate side of her while also flattering her skin tone, custom hair & makeup look, and the studio decor.

These photos are going to look amazing laid out together in her photo album.

Another thing that I admire about Natalies wardrobe picks was that she decided to ease into things with a white button-up and then lost some layers as she became more comfortable.

I hope you love viewing her images as much as we loved creating them!

#1: What is boudoir?

Boudoir is a french word that means “a woman’s bedroom”! It’s basically a fancy word that we call our intimate portrait sessions. Your boudoir session can range from a fantasy portrait shoot in a destination location to a sexy photoshoot in our studio. You do not need to be a model in order to do a boudoir shoot. In fact, our boudoir sessions are luxury experiences that are designed to pamper everyday women, just like you. Regardless of what your vision is for your boudoir photo shoot, I’ll be guiding you through every step is the way to ensure that you feel like a queen and look like one too!

After making your Montana boudoir booking official, it’s time to start dreaming about how you’ll dress for your photos! There are endless options for what you can wear during your luxurious experience in the studio. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable, empowered, and like YOU in the items that you wear.

Boudoir wardrobe pieces can range from full nudity to a bodysuit, to body chains, to a sexy dress, to a jersey from your partner’s favorite sports team. Each item of clothing that you choose is a way to express yourself and channel aspects of your personality that you want to capture in your boudoir images…

So you’ve booked your session… or maybe you’re interested in learning more about what your experience would look like.

Well, as with any life-changing adventure, leading up to your boudoir shoot, a bit of preparation is key.

Whether your session is on the calendar already or you want to know the details of preparation before booking a session, here are 10 ways to prepare for your session:

If you’ve been eyeing our studio for some time and have not yet booked your boudoir photo shoot, this one is for you.

I know how daunting booking a boudoir session may feel, which is why it’s important to focus on the end goal.

So I encourage you to ask yourself, what do YOU want to get out of your boudoir session?

Having a safe space to express yourself is one of the many reasons why our Montana Boudoir Sessions are so empowering. It’s not so often that you can get into character and see the deepest desires of your imagination manifest.

For many women, these photo shoots are a way to embrace their sense of play and fantasize about what it means to look and feel sexy.

I am thrilled to share this lovely client’s Edgy Fantasy Themed Boudoir shoot. When she approached me with her vision for her photo shoot, I couldn’t wait to see what we could create together.
