Creating Your Dream Boudoir Photoshoot Aesthetic

As a destination boudoir photographer, my specialty is curating and creating the perfect boudoir photoshoot aesthetic that brings your vision to life. Whether you’re wanting mountains, vintage vibes, or a high rise hotel, every detail of your session can be tailored to reflect your personal style. Here’s how I make your dream boudoir shoot a reality.

Pinterest Inspiration: Start with a Vibe to find your Boudoir Photoshoot Aesthetic

The first step I take to find your boudoir aesthetic for this session is gathering inspiration. Pinterest is a great tool to visualize the mood, colors, and overall vibe you want. It doesn’t all have to be boudoir specific images, either. Don’t be afraid to pin photos that just have the aesthetic you’re picturing! I’ll use your Pinterest board as a guide to ensure we’re on the same page and set the perfect tone for your session.

Location: Setting the Scene

The location can be super important for your boudoir aesthetic. As a destination boudoir photographer, I specialize in finding safe and private locations that match your vibe — from cozy mountain cabins to unique AirBnB’s. Whether you’re looking for a bohemian outdoor shoot, a chic urban backdrop, or a more intimate natural setting, the right location really sets the session up.

Outfits: Creating the Aesthetic

What you wear is KEY to achieving your boudoir photoshoot aesthetic. You’ll want to choose outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful, but still fit the vibe. I’m 100% here to help with this step. I help curate the outfits through new items and using my extensive client closet, making sure that they fit the vibe and inspiration we’re going for. You can also check out my FREE lingerie guide here to help envision how different pieces will fit your body.

Props: Adding Personality

Props can really elevate your boudoir shoot and help create the dream aesthetic. Unique additions like vintage furniture, blankets that fit the vibe, candles, and props that go along with the aesthetic can really bring it to life. You can also add simple items like lipstick, background items, and even jewelry. It also gives us new and unique ways to pose with whichever props we use.

Destination Boudoir: Capture the Aesthetic Anywhere

Traveling for your boudoir session allows us to shoot in stunning locations that perfectly match your aesthetic. Imagine a rustic cowgirl photoshoot at the base of the Wyoming mountains. Or picture a vintage retro swimsuit session on a white sand beach. The right location amplifies the vibe you want to create.

As your photographer, I’m here to guide you through each step, ensuring your session reflects your unique style and confidence.

I want you to set your own damn photo as your phone background and not be able to stop looking at it. Your body loving journey isn’t temporary–it’s something you have been walking through since you were a little girl and it’s something you’ll be facing as a grandmother one day. We deserve to feel at home in our bodies, no matter what age or stage of the journey we’re on. I want to be a part of it and remind you in this moment, and every moment forward, how dang stunning you are.
