Why You Should Do An
Empowering Boudoir Photoshoot
Every woman deserves to feel like the empowered bombshell that they are. No matter if you're curvy or skinny, have scars or acne, are young or older; you are BEAUTIFUL. Women like you don't happen often. Don't forget how rare you are.
Celebrate the beautiful you while being pampered in our luxurious styled private studio located in downtown Indianapolis, IN.
Here's Why
BOUDOIR IS MADE FOR YOU
What’s on the outside should reflect on the inside, so the most important tip for choosing what to wear during your session is to pick something you feel confident in. Choose options ranging from sassy lingerie to his button down shirt and cuff links. If you’re feeling extra brave, you can opt to wear nothing at all for “implied nude” photos! We will capture tasteful, beautiful and flattering poses. Whatever you choose, I want you to feel beautiful and confident. Staying true to yourself is the most beautiful look of all!
What To Wear
A babydoll is a feminine and delicate short, sleeveless and lose fitting nightgown. They can be super romantic and are the perfect lingerie for feeling effortlessly gorgeous.

Hey there, you bombshell with those killer curves. Corsets will cinch your waist and give you an hourglass shape. Think of the eightieth century where the women wore corsets on the daily- they can be hard to put on, but don't worry- I can help you!
corset
Bodysuits are one piece stretch garments that are super popular and very flattering especially if you are more on the conservative side, or you're wanting to leave your partner (if this is a gift for him/her of course) yearning for more.
bodysuit
When shopping for these, proper fit is super important. Be careful of push up bras, because sometimes they can make you look unnatural. Make sure the area of your armpit is smooth and you are not spilling out of the cups. That makes it more flattering on camera.

getting ready
A great tip to prepare yourself for your empowerment boudoir photoshoot, is to write down exactly why you are doing this.
Maybe it's to find self-love and to embrace your body or to give a milestone gift to your partner. Whatever the reason, your photoshoot is an amazing celebration of these reason, and you deserve it!
boudoir checklist
Feeling nervous before your photoshoot is completely normal. Words have a lot of power, so I highly recommend to come up with a mantra for yourself. Practice your affirmation in front of the mirror. You can say something like-
"I am beautiful", or "I love my body".
Say it out loud, and believe it, because girl- it's definitely true!

Nothing shows off your artistic side quite like a Canvas Gallery Wrap, Metal Print, or Acrylic Print.
We use only the highest quality, OBA and Bleach free, archival-grade canvas and/or paper to produce prints. As a client, you can rest assured that your prints were made using the highest quality materials on the market.
Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.

This is totally up to you. If you don't mind your photos being shared online, I'll have you sign a model release form and you can specify where you would like them posted.
WILL MY BOUDOIR IMAGES BE POSTED ONLINE?
I've totally got you covered there. I know all the tips and tricks to create the most flattering angles for women of all shapes and sizes. Don't you worry about posing, I'll help you pose everything from your head to your toes.
HOW DO I KNOW HOW TO POSE?
Yes, your portraits are fully edited by removing any bruises, scratches, skin blemishes, cleaning up fly away hairs and I do minor/light skin softening. I will NEVER EVER alter your body as that is not what a empowering boudoir session is about. It's about loving the skin you are in. I want you to look back on these in 10+ years and say “That's what I look like and I'm damn proud I did this for myself.”
Do you do touchups?
Depending on how quickly you choose your final images, you will receive them within the week. You product can take up to 3-4 weeks to be delivered after that.
How long will it take to recieve my images?
