Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to know About Boudoir Photography

Answering your Questions you have about Boudoir in Utah

If you’ve been typing “boudoir photographer near me”

or scrolling Pinterest for outfit inspo, but still have questions, this post is for you.

I’m answering the 12 most Googled questions about boudoir sessions so you can stop wondering and start feeling excited.

Let’s go.

1. What is a boudoir photo shoot?

It’s a photo session designed to make you feel sexy, powerful, and seen. Not for anyone else — for you. Some women do it to celebrate a milestone. Others want to reconnect with their bodies or reclaim confidence. Every reason is valid.

2. Do you bring your own clothes to a boudoir shoot?

Yes, you bring your own outfits — and I help guide you. Think lingerie, bodysuits, oversized sweaters, or even just a white sheet. This is about what you feel best in. I also send a full prep guide to help you decide.

3. What should I wear to my boudoir shoot?

Confidence first, always. I recommend 3–5 outfits: something bold, something cozy, and something a little outside your comfort zone. If you're curvy, petite, postpartum, or anywhere in between, I promise — we’ll find looks that make you feel amazing.

Need help? I made a Pinterest board just for you full of boudoir outfit ideas for every body.

4. What if I’m not photogenic?

Everyone thinks this. Every. Single. Client. And yet, by the end, they’re obsessed with their images. That’s because it’s my job to guide your posing, your lighting, and your vibe — and bring out the version of you that’s already there.

5. How much should I expect to pay for boudoir photos?

Prices vary by location and experience. At my Salt Lake City boudoir studio, session fees start at $150, and collections begin at $800. I walk you through every option, and there’s never pressure to spend more than you’re ready for.

6. Do you edit the photos?

Yes — gently. I don’t change who you are. I enhance lighting, tone, and remove any blemishes or distractions. Think magazine-quality finish, but still you. No warping. No shrinking. No fake skin.

7. Are boudoir photos legal?

Absolutely. Boudoir is art. It’s intimate, empowering, and yes — 100% legal. Everything is private and secure. You choose how and if your images are ever shared.

8. Can I do a boudoir shoot if I’m plus size?

Hell yes. Boudoir is for every body. I work with women of all shapes and sizes, and I specialize in lighting and posing that flatters without hiding a thing. Want inspo? Check out my Plus Size Boudoir Guide.

9. Do you offer ideas for boudoir poses or help me pose?

Yes. I direct every single pose. You won’t be left wondering what to do. I’ll show you how to breathe, move, arch, and even where to place your hands. All you have to do is show up.

10. Where does the shoot happen? Can I do it at home?

Most clients come to my private Salt Lake City boudoir studio, but I do offer outdoor boudoir sessions and in-home shoots depending on the vibe you're after. Looking for boudoir photo ideas at home? Let’s chat — I’ve got ideas for every space and comfort level.

11. Will my photos be shared online?

Only if you give written permission. Some women love being featured. Others want to keep their session private — always your choice, and always respected.

12. Do I have to wear lingerie?

Nope. You can wear whatever makes you feel confident. Some women wear lace. Some wear t-shirts. Some go full nude. This is about your power, not a dress code.
