Below are the most common questions I hear, answered simply to help you feel comfortable and ready. You are worth it.
Reasons to Take Pictures (Boudoir FAQ)
What is boudoir photography?
Boudoir pictures will show the intimate, beautiful side of you in a professional way. Clothing can be from lingerie to evening gowns. Elegant posing is designed to celebrate who you are. It’s not about being a model—it’s about showing the real you.
I’m nervous—will I really feel comfortable?
Absolutely. Most women begin nervous, but quickly relax in our private, female studio. You are guided in every pose and we promise your pictures will look real and natural.
Do I need to know how to pose for boudoir photos?
No. Few know how to pose for sexy pictures on their own and you don’t have to. At Jules Secret, we help you through every detail to create the best look for you. As Jules takes your pictures, she will tell you to turn, shift, relax your hand, or lean just right. Yes, the entire boudoir experience is easier than you think!
Do I need to lose weight first?
No. You’re always ready for boudoir. With expert posing, lighting, and direction, Jules shows your most flattering features so you look and feel your best—exactly as you are.
Do I have to be a certain age/size?
No way. Boudoir wants women of all shapes, sizes, and ages from 20s to 70s and beyond. Jules loves every age and body type.
Are boudoir photos a good gift?
Yes. Boudoir albums and wall portraits make the best gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, or holidays.
Many women also book for themselves to celebrate a milestone like a birthday, losing weight or simply to feel beautiful.
Why should I do boudoir for myself?
This is about you. Boudoir is a chance to reclaim confidence, own your story, and create photos that celebrates who you are today.
Many ladies discover the experience is as life changing as the pictures themselves.
How much are boudoir pictures?
Sessions start at $1450 for full styling, photography, and album. Payment plans are available. You look at your pictures the same day and we ship to you!
Who will see my photos?
Only you and me. Your privacy is a must. Images are never shared or published without your permission. You have control if all, a few or none are used in our marketing.
What should I wear or bring?
Bring outfits that make you feel beautiful like lingerie, a favorite dress, plus we have a wardrobe closet that you can use too. Accessories like jewelry and heels add a special touch. Jules helps you choose what works best. Relax!
What should I wear if I don’t have lingerie?
That’s fine. You don’t need lingerie to look beautiful in boudoir photos. An oversized shirt, a favorite dress or even simple sheets can photograph elegantly. We have a wardrobe closet that clients can borrow from, so you’ll always have something stunning to wear. We do suggest bringing at least 3 of your own pieces. We can give ideas to make it easier.
Do you retouch the images?
Jules is an expert in lighting, posing ladies. Our editing is realistic. The goal is to celebrate your real beauty—not to change who you are. But if you want to nip tuck here and there it’s ok. We want you to love your pictures forever.

Yes. Professional hair and makeup, even lashes, are done right in our studio. You will love how great you look and feel.
