Boudoir Photography — Reasons & Frequently Asked Questions
Boudoir is more than photos—it’s an experience of finding who you always were, celebrate the body you have now and build your self esteem. Whether you’re doing this for yourself, for someone special, or to mark a milestone, these are the most common questions I hear from women just like you.
First let me reassure you that every woman who has walked through my door is nervous. They have not done this before, they are not models and they have insecurities, we all do. So if you listen to the little voice in your head telling you not to do this, you won't. But I'm telling you that you can, I have seen it many times and you can!
What is boudoir photography?
Boudoir captures intimate, elegant images designed to celebrate your body, confidence, and sensuality. It’s not about being a model—it’s about showing the real, you.
Do I need to lose weight first?
No. You’re always ready for boudoir. With expert posing, lighting, and direction, I’ll highlight your most flattering features so you look and feel your best—exactly as you are.
Do I have to be a certain age/size?
Absolutely not. Boudoir welcomes women of all shapes, sizes, and ages—from 20s to 70s and beyond. Beauty is universal, and confidence is timeless.
I’m nervous—will I really feel comfortable?
That’s completely natural. Most ladies begin nervous, but quickly relax in my private, female studio. I’ll guide you in every pose and create a fun, supportive experience.
Reasons to Take Pictures (Boudoir FAQ)
Are boudoir photos a good gift?
Yes—boudoir albums and wall portraits make unforgettable gifts for anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, or holidays.
Many women also book for themselves to celebrate a milestone like a birthday or losing weight or simply to feel beautiful.
How much does a boudoir session cost?
Sessions start at around $1,400 for full styling, photography, and albums. Payment plans are available. You look at your pictures the same day and we ship to you!
Why do this for yourself, not just for someone else?
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.
Do I need to know how to pose for boudoir photos?
No one knows how to pose for sexy pictures on their own—and you don’t have to. At Jules Secret, I guide you through every detail to create the look you want. When I look through the lens, I see things differently than you think I do—I may tell you to turn, shift, relax your hand, or lean just right. Whatever it takes, I’ll direct you every step so the results are stunning.
✨ And yes, the entire experience is so much easier than you think!
Who will see my photos?
Only you and me. Your privacy is a must. Images are never shared or published without your permission.
What should I wear or bring?
Bring pieces that make you feel beautiful: lingerie, a favorite dress, plus we have a wardrobe closet that you can use too. Accessories like jewelry and heels add a special touch. I’ll help you choose what works best. Relax!
What if I don’t have lingerie or sexy clothes?
That’s fine. I have a wardrobe closet that clients can borrow from, so you’ll always have something stunning to wear. We do suggest touring 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.
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes. Professional hair and makeup is done in the studio. You will love how you look and feel.

You will feel and look amazing in front of the camera, and you’ll always remember how wonderful you felt every time you look at your boudoir pictures. One day can change everything. This is an experience you deserve—a once-in-a-lifetime investment in yourself. Payment plans are available, and of course, your secret is safe with us.
