A Return Boudoir Client, Sheets, and a Grapefruit | Boudoir Client Interview at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale, Arizona
A Return Boudoir Client, Sheets,
and a Grapefruit
This summer I had the joy of welcoming back a returning boudoir client who first came to me a little less than year ago for her first boudoir photo shoot. Back then, she was still finding her footing stepping into her confidence—gorgeous, yes, but slightly hesitant, unsure if she was “doing it right.” (Spoiler: she was.) This time, though? She walked into the studio with an unshakable presence. No nerves. No questions. Just excited and ready to try a new look and have some fun with it!
This time, no lingerie needed. Just white sheets—and one unique prop : a grapefruit.
It’s sensual, fresh, and a little wild— the epidemy of raw, sensual, feminine energy. Yes, we were in for something special and the photos turned out even better than I had imagined!
We started with the sheets. The kind of look that feels like a Sunday morning spent in bed, when the light hits just right and everything feels indulgent. No lingerie, no accessories—just her, draping fabric hugging her curves, and shadows that told the story of purity and innocence.
Then came the grapefruit.
Sliced in half, it brought an unexpected pop of color and texture. She held it delicately at first, then playfully—dripping juice onto her skin, biting into it with abandon. It was sticky and sweet and completely unfiltered. And it worked. The juxtaposition of the soft white sheets and the bold, juicy fruit created a visual metaphor for who she is right now: soft but strong, daring but grounded. A woman who no longer tiptoes around her own beauty.
This shoot wasn’t about perfection. It was about freedom. The freedom to explore, to laugh, to feel sexy in your skin with nothing but a bedsheet and a grapefruit in hand.
To my returning muse—thank you. Thank you for trusting me again, for embracing the wild parts of yourself, and for reminding us all the power of vulnerability and self exploration. One that gets juicier every time you say yes to yourself.
Here is what this shoot was like in her own words:
What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir photography session?
I get all the promotional emails and my significant other's birthday was coming up. I wanted to do something special for him for his birthday.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir for your boudoir photos?
This was my second photo shoot. I had so much fun the first time! I had to so much fun! I had to do another one!
Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress. Did this experience change the way you see yourself?
I felt way more confident this time around. Christina makes you feel so at ease. It is impossible not to feel confident when you are working with her!
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them? Anything you wish you would have done differently?
Not really. This was a "tease me" white sheet photo shoot. So, the outfit choice is really easy. You are wearing a thong and you have a sheet covering you. I felt really comfortable and because it was my second time it was so much more fun!
What was your favorite part about your boudoir experience?
My favorite part was the props that we used. Christina had asked on FB in the VIP Boudoir Group if anyone with a upcoming photo shoot would mind if she incorporated grapefruit into the shoot. I thought it sounded fun and unique so I told her I would do it. I think this made my pictures unique. There will be other " tease me" photo shoots but not with a grapefruit incorporated. I like that makes mine different.
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photoshoot?
Like the Nike slogan says " JUST DO IT!" I had been putting this off for so many years. If you are having any reservations about it, just do it! You will never regret it! Plus, Heidi, will make you look amAZing!! Her make up and her hair!! She made me feel so beautiful.
Would you recommend Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale to a friend?
100% I have recommended Bella Jade to my hair dresser, my best friends, to everyone who wants to know!
