But wait, before we get into what to bring there is one big thing we want you to be clear on before your boudoir session…

Before Your Boudoir Session

Stop Trying so Darn Hard to "Be Ready"

The biggest mistake women make is waiting.

Waiting to lose twenty pounds.
Waiting until life slows down.
Waiting until they feel more confident.

Confidence doesn't usually happen before a boudoir session.

It happens because of one.

Your session is about learning to love who you are today—not just the woman you hope to become someday.
Fair? Okay let’s get started!

What to Bring to Your Boudoir Session

One of the best parts?

You don't need a suitcase full of lingerie.

Our clients often bring 3-5 outfits that reflect different sides of their personality.

Some favorites include:

  • A black lace bodysuit

  • Matching bra and panty sets

  • Oversized sweaters

  • Silk robes

  • Button-down shirts

  • Cozy socks

  • Jeans and an open white shirt

  • Leather jackets

  • A little black or red dress

  • Bridal lingerie

  • His jersey or dress shirt

  • Nothing but a sheet

Remember:

The woman wearing the outfit is what makes the photographs so special.

Not the outfit itself.

Don't Forget These Essentials

Bring:

  • Nude and black underwear (for just sheets)!

  • Strapless bra (if desired)

  • Heels or Boots

  • Jewelry if you’d like!

  • Any sentimental items

  • Wedding veil (for bridal sessions)

  • Hats (Brimmed, Cowgirl, Ball Caps — have fun with it!)

  • Rings or meaningful accessories

If you're unsure about anything, bring it anyway.

We'll help you choose what photographs best.

The Most Important Thing to Bring

Bring yourself.

Not the version you think you should be.

Not the version you'll become after losing weight.

Not the version who has it all figured out.

The woman you are today is already worthy of celebrating.

At Bella Jade Boudoir, our mission isn't simply to create photographs.

It's to remind you of the woman you've always been.

Strong.

Beautiful.

Powerful.

Confident.

Brave.

And deserving of seeing yourself that way.

If you've been waiting know that…

We'll take care of the posing.

We'll guide you every step of the way.

All you have to do is walk through the door.

If you haven’t already, get on our schedule today for an unforgettable experience at Bella Jade Boudoir now located in Mesa, Arizona!

We specialize in boudoir photography for women who want to reclaim their confidence and fall back in love with themselves. Remember, Bella Jade Boudoir has been a leading boudoir photographer serving Phoenix, Gilbert, Mesa, and Scottsdale for over a decade!

How Nervous Is Too Nervous For A Boudoir Session? | Arizona Boudoir Photographer in Mesa, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Phoenix

If you've ever asked yourself, "Am I too nervous to do a boudoir session?"—you're in very good company.

Because here is the truth:

There really isn't such a thing as too nervous.

In fact, if you weren't a little nervous, I'd probably be surprised.

Nearly every woman who walks through the doors of Bella Jade Boudoir tells me the same thing:

"I'm so nervous."

Some worry they won't know how to pose.

Some haven't worn lingerie in years (or ever!).

Others are convinced they're "not photogenic" or compare themselves to the women they've seen online.

And almost all of them quietly wonder...

"Can I really do this?"

The answer is…

How Nervous Is Too Nervous for a Boudoir Session?

Some haven't worn lingerie in years (or ever!).

Others are convinced they're "not photogenic" or compare themselves to the women they've seen online.

And almost all of them quietly wonder...

"Can I really do this?"

The answer is always yes.

 
 

Every Woman You See Here Started Somewhere Where You Are

Take a look through our gallery and you'll see women who look radiant, confident, and completely at ease.

What you don't see is what happened just before those photographs were taken.

The deep breath before they walked through the studio door.

The nervous laugh.

The "I almost canceled this morning."

The uncertainty.

The butterflies.

Those women weren't professional models.

Most had never done anything like this before.

Many believed they weren't confident enough—or that they had to lose weight first.

Yet by the end of their session, something had changed.

They were laughing.

Relaxed.

Standing a little taller.

Smiling in a way they hadn't in years.

Not because the nerves magically disappeared...

But because they realized they were capable of so much more than fear had led them to believe.

You Don't Need to Know How to Pose

One of the biggest worries I hear is:

"What if I look awkward?"

You won't.

Because posing isn't your responsibility—it's mine.

From the moment your boudoir session begins, I'll guide you through everything.

Every pose.

Every hand placement.

Every expression.

Every little adjustment that flatters your body and highlights your natural beauty.

You'll never be left wondering what to do next.

No modeling experience required.

No Pinterest practice.

No pressure to "know how."

Just show up exactly as you are.

I'll take care of the rest.

Confidence Isn't a Requirement

This might be the biggest misconception about boudoir.

Women often think they need confidence before they book.

But confidence isn't what brings women into our Arizona studio.

It's often what they leave with.

A boudoir session isn't about proving you're already confident.

It's about giving yourself the opportunity to see yourself differently.

Sometimes all it takes is one experience—one moment of courage—to completely change the way you see the woman staring back in the mirror.

"What If I'm Still Nervous on the Day of My Session?"

Then we'll simply take it one step at a time.

Before your shoot you’ll get to have a one on one consultation with your boudoir photographer.

But that doesn’t mean ALL of your nerves will vanish before your session. But don’t worry.

Day of we'll chat while you're being pampered with professional hair and makeup.

We'll go over the outfits you brought together.

I'll answer every lingering question you have.

We'll ease into the session naturally, without rushing a single moment.

There is no expectation that you arrive fearless.

My job isn't just to create beautiful photographs.

It's to create an experience where you feel comfortable, supported, celebrated, and completely cared for from beginning to end.

So...How Nervous Is Too Nervous?

The answer?

There isn't a magic level of confidence you have to reach before you're "ready."

If your nerves are saying,

"I've never done anything like this before..."

that's completely normal.

It doesn't mean you shouldn't do it.

It often means you're about to give yourself an experience that has the power to change the way you see yourself.

Months from now, you probably won't remember how nervous you felt before walking into the studio.

You'll remember seeing your images for the first time.

You'll remember the confidence.

The pride.

The joy.

And you'll remember thinking:

"I can't believe I almost talked myself out of this."

Your Future Self Will Be So Glad You Said Yes

If you've been searching for a luxury boudoir photographer in Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, or anywhere in Arizona, consider this your sign.

Don't wait for the nerves to disappear.

They may never completely go away.

Instead, trust that you don't have to do this alone.

At Bella Jade Boudoir, I'll be with you every step of the way—guiding you, encouraging you, and reminding you just how incredible you already are.

One day, you'll look back on this experience and wonder why you waited so long.

Let's make that day today.

"I Almost Didn't Book a Boudoir Session". Here Are the 5 Lies Women in Phoneix, Mesa. Gilbert, and Scottsdale Tell Themselves Before Finally Saying Yes.

"I Almost Didn't Book a Boudoir Session". Here Are the 5 Lies Women Tell Themselves Before Finally Saying Yes.

Most women in Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, and Scottsdale are not thinking: ❌ "I need boudoir photos so that I have something sexy to gift my significant other”

Now don’t let me convince you that’s not a great reason to get boudoir photos because it absolutely is! Having something to surprise your husband on your anniversary, before the wedding, on his birthday or just because is an incredible unexpected treat and has its added bonuses for the both of you! But if we stopped there I wouldn’t be telling the whole truth, because underneath the gift idea women are actually thinking…

Self Love Sessions | White Sheets Boudoir Photos in Scottsdale Arizona by Bella Jade Boudoir, Mesa Boudoir Photographer

Women often say they're booking for:

  • Their husband

  • Their anniversary

  • A gift

But the truth?

They're booking because they want to feel like themselves again.

Most women in Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, and Scottsdale are not thinking: ❌ "I need boudoir photos so that I have something sexy to gift my significant other”

Now don’t let me convince you that’s not a great reason to get boudoir photos because it absolutely is! Having something to surprise your husband on your anniversary, before the wedding, on his birthday or just because is an incredible unexpected treat and has its added bonuses for the both of you! But if we stopped there I wouldn’t be telling the whole truth, because underneath the gift idea women are actually thinking…

"I don't feel like myself anymore."

"I've lost confidence."

"I've gained weight."

"I'm getting older."

"I want to feel beautiful again."

For that I wanted to share the 5 Lies Women Tell Themselves Before Finally Saying Yes. Just in case you’re feeling it too. I want you to know you are not alone!

Lie #1: I Need To Lose Weight First

Do you know how many times at Bella Jade I’ve heard this one! Too many to count. And it pains me because I know how much doing a boudoir session can change the way you see yourself if only you’d seu YES!. The woman who says she's too big and the woman who says she's too small are usually standing in the same studio. And it’s the same woman that walks out shocked at how beautiful she felt regardless of any number on the scale!

Lie #2: I'm Not Photogenic

Fine. You don’t know how to pose, or what to do with your hands. That’s normal. You’re not a professional model and that’s entirely okay. Good news is you’re in good hands at Bella Jade Boudoir. We will show you how to pose and coach you head to toe, even guide you through facial expressions! Midway through the shoot something will shift. You’ll start to trust your body, build confidence as you go, and start to realize its not that scary in fact posing for boudoir photos will be exciting, fun, and liberating!

Lie #3: Boudoir Is Only For Young Women

This is huge for Arizona. There is a lot of pressure to look young, and thriving! And with most of social media hammering that idea into our heads it’s no wonder why someone might think that only young women get boudoir photos. But believe it or not most women we work with at Bella Jade Boudoir are 30, 40, 50, 60!

They are

  • Moms, Empty Nesters

  • Business Women, Entreprenuers, Housewives

  • Single, Married, Divorced

  • Reaching Milestones

  • Recovering From Losses, Setbacks, or Health Scares

  • Women looking to find themselves, see themselves, regain their confidence, and love themselves at any season of their life.

Lie #4: I Need A Reason

A woman does not need:

  • A wedding

  • An anniversary

  • Valentine's Day

To get boudoir photos. She can do it because she wants to. Period.

Lie #5: I'll Book Someday

This is the ultimate killer. If you’re still telling yourself you’ll book someday, then you won’t. Let’s be honest with each other here, babe. How long have you been putting this off already? A month, a year, two years, five years, more? When will it be okay enough for you to do something for yourself?

Sure some women have waited years before booking, but it never fails that those same women look back at their photoshoot, the experience, and their photos and think “I cant believe I waited so long? I almost didn’t book the shoot!. They’ll tell you “Just do it, you won’t regret it.”

“… Spent the whole morning laughing and having fun! I would absolutely do this again!! If you are questioning whether or not you want to get boudoir photos...GET THEM!! It is an experience you will never forget. You will never regret. And you will have the photos forever!” — Miss A (2025)

”Christina is amazing! This was a perception altering experience.” — Miss E (2017)


”I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Christina at the Bella Jade Collection! She made me feel comfortable, the shoot was so fun, and the pictures were incredible. Highly highly recommend!! — Miss A (2026)

”If you are on the fence about doing a shoot - just do it and pick Christina - there will be no regrets, I promise. She is amazing in so many ways and makes you feel the same!” — Miss J (2020)

So no, don’t let the days, months, or years pass you by! You were enough then, and you’re enough now. And chances are saying Yes to the boudoir shoot, then doing it, will be the most empowering thing you’ll ever get the chance to do for yourself!

Why? Women don’t do boudoir sessions just for the pretty pictures—they do it for the feeling of seeing themselves differently. For the confidence and the proof that that are strong, beautiful, brave and worthy of being seen, loved, and celebrated just as they are right now!

If you’ve been thinking of doing this for months or even years, this is your moment!
You don't need to lose weight.
You don't need to be more confident.
You don't need permission.

You simply need to decide that you're worth loving right now.

At Bella Jade Boudoir in Mesa, Arizona our boudoir photography sessions include:

a consultation, professional hair and make-up, private boiudoir studio, beauty retouching, image reveal, custom ordering appointment, and gorgeous luxury product options that embody just how special this experience was to you — so that you can be reminded just how confident you felt everytime you look back on your photos!

3 Things to Avoid Before a Boudoir Photoshoot | Bella Jade Boudoir Photography in Scottsdale, Arizona

Are you preparing for a boudoir session? You may have common questions like: “Should I get a spray tan for boudoir photos? Should I eat or not eat before the shoot? Or, what should I bring with me? At Bella Jade Boudoir, we answer all of your questions during your pre-shoot consultation! But we get it — sometimes it’s not just about having your questions answered, but knowing what questions to ask. As a top boudoir photographer in Scottsdale with almost a decade of experience in boudoir photography, I’m revealing three things we generally recommend our boudoir clients avoid!

3 Things to avoid before a boudoir photoshoot

Are you preparing for a boudoir session? You may have common questions like: “Should I get a spray tan for boudoir photos? Should I eat or not eat before the shoot? Or, what should I bring with me? At Bella Jade Boudoir, we answer all of your questions during your pre-shoot consultation! But we get it — sometimes it’s not just about having your questions answered, but knowing what questions to ask. As a top boudoir photographer in Scottsdale with almost a decade of experience in boudoir photography, I’m revealing three things we generally recommend our boudoir clients avoid!

Overconsumption Night Before

It is best to avoid consuming alcohol the night before a boudoir session. However, we do encourage you to follow your regular dinner routine. Do not fast or crash diet hours before your shoot. You’ll want to be energized and hydrated! Eat a nutritious dinner, drink lots of water, and have a light breakfast before you arrive!

First Timer Spray Tans, and Self Tanner

There are both pros and cons to getting a spray tan prior to a boudoir shoot. In most cases, as your boudoir photographer, I will recommend avoiding spray tans altogether especially if it is not something you do on a regular basis. If you must — hire a professional, let them know you are having a boudoir photoshoot, and when. Self-tanner is never recommended.

Last Minute Panic Packing

Try on all of your outfit options in advance, narrow them down the best you can. For Bella Jade Boudoir’s regular boudoir sessions, two to four outfits is ideal. Lay them out on your bed and plan out any accessories you’d like to bring with you. Only pack what you need. An extra outfit or panty is okay just in case, but refrain from throwing in miscellaneous outfits, accessories/props last minute. You likely will not need them! Besides, too many outfits, accessories, and props can be overwhelming and take away from the real star of the show, which is you!

Boudoir Photography and How It Changes You | Arizona Boudoir Photographer in Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, Scottsdale

First, why I wanted to share this with you:

Woman to woman, the pressure to exist and look a certain way can be all too familiar for most women. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, a housewife, homemaker, stay-at-home mom, working mom, a career-centric woman with no kids both or anything else, the modern woman is undeniably a force to be reckoned with. She does it all and looks damn good doing it! Am I right? But, that doesn’t come without feelings of guilt, burnout, feeling inadequate, or dealing with some form of self-loss.

It’s undoubtedly an incredible time to be a woman — do not get me wrong! But it can also be stressful, overwhelming, and seemingly impossible to keep up at times. Especially with things like social media, reminding us every day that someone out there somewhere is probably doing it better, and somehow does it all while still having a rock-solid bangin body appearing as if they are just effortlessly walking around the world. {Insert intrusive thoughts: ‘being a woman is so easy you’re just not doing it right’} The point is that we are living in a world that makes it feel good to be a woman, but also one where instant gratification and highlight reels can send us on a path of comparison and self-doubt to no end.



I’m here to tell you that you are not alone. Also, that it’s never selfish to take care of yourself, set boundaries, do more of what makes you come alive, and love yourself through that process. There will be highs and there will be lows. That’s inevitable. But you get to choose how your story will be written and you, my love, set the bar for how you get to feel about you! You control the narrative, babe! This is all the more reason why so many women are choosing to do a boudoir session for themselves. They want to celebrate their victories, feel good in their own skin and learn to love themselves unconditionally.

So, how does a boudoir session change you?

First, why I wanted to share this with you:

Woman to woman, the pressure to exist and look a certain way can be all too familiar for most women. Whether you’re single, married, divorced, a housewife, homemaker, stay-at-home mom, working mom, a career-centric woman with no kids both or anything else, the modern woman is undeniably a force to be reckoned with. She does it all and looks damn good doing it! Am I right? But, that doesn’t come without creeping feelings of guilt, burnout, feeling inadequate, or dealing with some form of self-loss.


It’s undoubtedly an incredible time to be a woman — do not get me wrong! But it can also be stressful, overwhelming, and seemingly impossible to keep up at times. Especially with things like social media, reminding us every day that someone out there somewhere is probably doing it better, and somehow does it all while still having a rock-solid bangin body appearing as if they are just effortlessly walking around the world. {Insert intrusive thoughts: ‘being a woman is so easy you’re just not doing it right’} The point is that we are living in a world that makes it feel good to be a woman, but also one where instant gratification and highlight reels can send us on a path of comparison and self-doubt to no end.

You control the narrative, babe! This is all the more reason why so many women are choosing to do a boudoir session for themselves. They want to celebrate their victories, feel good in their own skin and learn to love themselves unconditionally.


So, how does a boudoir session change you?

As a female boudoir photographer in the Phoenix area for over 8 years I’ve gotten to work with women from all walks of life. Women come into our studio for all sorts of reasons! Whether its to celebrate a milestone, a gift for their significant other, an act of self love or something else, do you want to know the one thing most have in common? They want to change the way they see themselves!

My boudoir clients tell me all of the time how this experience changed them and that they are so full of gratitude for this experience.Just imagine having photos of yourself that capture a time when you felt loved, confident, and empowered. They are proud of what we’ve created together and now have photos of themselves that transform that narrative from never enough, to always have been always will be! The whole experience gives you confidence that you can take with you through all parts of your life!

What it feels like to experience the power of boudoir for yourself:

Picture it — you walk into our Scottsdale boudoir studio on the day of your very own shoot. You are eager, excited, nervous, palms sweaty, trying to hide how incredibly nervous you actually are. But then, you are warmly greeted by an all women team. You lay out your outfits getting advice and encouragement along the way. You sit down for hair and make up, get to chatting and your fears and feelings of self doubt start to fade. It begins to feel more like a day just hanging out with the best of friends, laughing, sharing stories, dishing the tea, and celebrating each other like you’ve known each other for years. You take a deep breath and think ‘im’m safe here, these are girls, girls’.



The time comes to slip into your first outfit. And, it challenges you to see yourself and let yourself be seen. But as you get into poses and are coached through that process you recognize that all of the fear leading up to this was just your intrusive thoughts … getting in the way of you looking and feeling your most confident self! You’re laughing, feeling sexy, and having fun! It’s now the end of you’re shoot and you’re walking away feeling like you’re on cloud nine, radiating with beauty and an abundance self love! You did it! And, you feel more alive than you’ve felt in a long time!



You come back to see your very own boudoir photos for the first time. Not without inhibition( let’s be honest we all have flaws, and your inner critic can be awfully convincing) but you made a pact with yourself to be more gentle with your body so you look up at them anyway, amazed by your own beauty. You’re realizing you were enough after all, and that you too are a gorgeous, incredible, strong, and beautiful woman! It changes you! It inspires you to love yourself more, be more present, and take more time to just be yourself! The bombshell, and absolute goddess who was always there and just needed a little boost to show fully, has arrived! And, there ain’t no stopping her now!

At Bella Jade Boudoir we believe boudoir is for every woman, no matter what age, shape, or size they may be. If you’re asking yourself whether or not you should do this, take it from our clients (you can read tons of client interviews with full testimonials on our blog!) While we all experience things differently, I am confident they would tell you that a boudoir session with us is truly an empowering experience that every woman should have! They would tell you to stop waiting. Stop second-guessing yourself and getting in your own way. Do it now!

Should you do your own boudoir session?

Here’s some snippets of advice from our boudoir client interviews …

Find the boudoir photographer that matches your personality as well as photo style -but definitely do it :)

Do it! With none or all of the flaws, do it! Whether you’re 20 or 50, do it. Capture this version of you and be proud of the body you have. Show the world what you are made of and let yourself feel like a queen.

Do it!!! You will not regret it and Christina will help you throughout the whole process.

Doesn’t matter if this is a little or a lot outside of your comfort zone we will guide you every step of the way! We aim to empower confidence in women through an unforgettable boudoir experience and photos that inspire you to love yourself unconditionally. We encourage you to challenge yourself, take the leap, invest in yourself, and affirm to show up for yourself wholeheartedly. We want you to do the shoot for you, so that you too, can experience the transformative power of boudoir. So that you have a safe space to celebrate your sexy, start healing the relationship you have with your body, be gentle with yourself and embrace your femininity! This truly can change the way you see yourself! And, if you’ve read through this far something tells me it’s your time babe. Do the boudoir session!

The "between the sheets" look is universally flattering for all body types, including plus size. Despite sounding intimidating, it can be very liberating. It's a great choice for women who appreciate artistic nude photography but prefer to remain more modest in their own boudoir photos. Posing with bedsheets allows you to cover and uncover parts of the body to your comfort level, creating an implied nude look without being completely bare. In some cases, this can be less revealing than wearing lingerie.

The best part? Posing with sheets gives the added benefit of using the sheet to contour your body, highlighting your best features, and honoring your curves while concealing areas you may be a little bit more self-conscious of or prefer to leave more to the imagination.

Mid to Plus Size Boudoir Photography Tips and Outfit Idea wearing a body suit for boudoir photos


Tip #1: You do not have to hide your body!

First let’s address a common pain point for women — the tummy. If this area is a trouble zone that you’d rather not highlight in your photos there are options! High-waisted panties and high-quality onesies like teddies and bodysuits will flatter your figure better than your typical budget bra and panty set. Plus, since it conceals your tummy area these types of outfits can also help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Underarms and cellulite? Try long sleeves in lace, incorporate a robe add stockings to your boudoir outfit! These items will hug your body, accentuate your curves, and smooth out your trouble areas giving you a desired look that will help ease your nerves and empower confidence!


Tip #2 : Remember that numbers do not define you!

Whether it’s the number on a scale or your pants size do not stress it! Focus less on numbers and more on what fits you best! I’ve personally been a 10 to 14, busty woman for most of my adult life and I learned very quickly that the conventional idea of small, medium, large just doesn’t work for me. Don’t waste your time crying over having to size up or worse getting the wrong size just to satisfy your ego. Choosing the wrong size for the sake of avoiding the dreaded size up could ultimately result in being unhappy with how that translates on camera. Size up or down depending on what fits and be careful not to let insecurities and doubts guide your choices If the numbers don’t add up to a perfect body that’s ok. Perfect is not the goal — learning to love yourself just as you are is so much more important than numbers on a scale.


Tip #3: Do not limit yourself to just lingerie.

There are so many alternative options to lingerie that can be just as sexy for a boudoir photoshoot. Sometimes, the non-lingerie outfits turn out to be the favorite! Boudoir outfit ideas that aren’t lingerie include sweaters, jeans/jean shorts, little black dresses, t-shirts, jerseys, something from your significant other’s closet or even just sheets. And by the way, sheets require no sizing at all and can be incredibly flattering for highlighting your curves and downplaying your pain points! Go ahead, think outside of the box, and take this opportunity to honor your body and learn to love the skin you’re in!

Miss E Re Finds Her Sexy Side with an Empowering Boudoir Session in Scottsdale, Arizona | Bella Jade Boudoir #1 Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Gilbert, AZ

Have you recently experienced a significant life change?

Stepping into a new season of life can be vulnerable territory, but it's also an opportunity to rediscover who you are and embrace the changes and growth that come with it.

If you’re currently feeling disconnected from parts of you that once made you feel vibrant, unstoppable, and sexy, a boudoir session can be an excellent way to reconnect with yourself. It can help you see yourself in a new light and better appreciate the person you're becoming!

Recently, we did a boudoir session at our Scottsdale Boudoir Studio with Miss E., a mom who had gone through a divorce looking to re-find her sexy side. As a powerhouse in her career, a dedicated mother, and a woman who takes a lot of pride in nurturing her body, most aspects of her life already exuded an abundance of confidence.

Ultimately, a boudoir session with us would help her rediscover her sensuality, reconnect with herself, and take back her sexy!

Her story is something that a lot of women can relate to. This woman is truly admirable and I am so thankful to have had her in our studio! After her session we asked her about her boudoir experience — what inspired her, what she loved most, and any advice she might have for other women considering their very own boudoir session.

With her permission, we are now able to share that with you along with some of her boudoir photos!

My hope is that one day, you too, will get to experience the boudoir photo shoot you’ve always wanted!

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

I heard about it from make up artists over the past year or so and was always intrigued.

I am recently divorced and a new-ish mom and had lost my "sexy vibes" over the last 3 years of this - so wanted to re-find my sexy side.

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale Arizona for your Boudoir Experience?

Her style of photos resonated with me.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I'm confident - maybe it doesn't seem that way posing lol but I am proud of my body and love it. I work very hard to keep it healthy. This photo shoot just demonstrated a different side. I default to feeling strong in my body but this was a softer sexy side that I typically am not as confident in.

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

Not really - but it is a bit awkward posing sexy for a camera. I'd like to continue to explore this.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

Christina and her make up artist were amazing. Super funny. Made me look gorgeous!

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?

Find the boudoir photographer that matches your personality as well as photo style -but definitely do it :)

Remember — change is a part of life, and it's up to you to find the joy and beauty in the journey.

Make 2024 Your Year for An Empowering Boudoir Shoot! | The Benefits of Doing a Boudoir Photographer Session with Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale Arizona

If you’re still thinking about doing a boudoir session, if you want to practice self love, and feel more confident in your own skin I urge you to make 2024 your year for change (and I don’t just mean the physical ones). I’m talking about healing and forgiving yourself for all of the bad things you’ve ever said about your body. Make an honest commitment to becoming the kind of woman who can find compassion for herself — the kind of woman who can celebrate other women and also honor her own body, despite her flaws.

Push through self doubt and permit yourself to go all in … even if you don’t feel quite ready yet. Because, chances are that carving out some you time to do a shoot like this will leave you feeling like a new woman. A woman empowered who knows what she wants and goes for it!

Just in case you’re still second guessing yourself, let me share some of

The greatest benefits you’ll receive from doing a boudoir session with us…

Have you spent the last year putting off your very own boudoir session?

I think you need to know something…

As a boudoir photographer I have photographed hundreds of women over the years. Due to the nature of boudoir often times those women are faced with the challenge of leaning into vulnerability so that they can begin to change the way they see themselves. As you look at our boudoir photos I want you to admire these women. They are gorgeous! But I also want you to realize that you can do this too! Don’t disqualify yourself. You are probably a lot more like our previous boudoir clients than you might think.

Full transparency — For most it took them a bit of courage to do the shoot. I don’t blame them.

Regardless of what you do or don’t love about your body, we all come with some insecurities. Which for a lot of women makes getting in front of a camera kind of intimidating. Couple that with the idea of slipping into your skivvies for boudoir pictures. Well, yeah that can make having your photos taken feel even more vulnerable. It is also incredibly uplifting, because the more we step out of our comfort zone the more we can begin to see just how capable we as women are.

If you’re still thinking about doing a boudoir session, if you want to practice self love, and feel more confident in your own skin I urge you to make 2024 your year for change (and I don’t just mean the physical ones). I’m talking about healing and forgiving yourself for all of the bad things you’ve ever said about your body. Make an honest commitment to becoming the kind of woman who can find compassion for herself — the kind of woman who can celebrate other women and also honor her own body, despite her flaws.

Push through self doubt and permit yourself to go all in … even if you don’t feel quite ready yet. Because, chances are that carving out some you time to do a shoot like this will leave you feeling like a new woman. A woman empowered who knows what she wants and goes for it!

Just in case you’re still second guessing yourself, let me share some of

The greatest benefits you’ll receive from doing a boudoir session with us:

  1. You’ll get to hang with other women who are down to earth, aren’t afraid of having a little fun, and genuinely desire to see you thrive! From getting pampered with hair and makeup, being guided every step of the way, and receiving all of the encouragement and posing guidance you need — this will surely have you looking and feeling amazing!

  2. When you see your boudoir photos for the first time you’ll realize that you are one gorgeous woman! All of the negative beliefs you had leading up to the shoot will fade away and you’ll likely find yourself wondering why it took you so long to just do it in the first place! Babe, I can’t say this enough: these truly will be some of the most beautiful photos of yourself you’ve ever seen!

  3. You’ll have memories and tangible works of art that will last far beyond the day of the shoot. Any time you need a reminder of just how incredible you are… you can look back at your boudoir photos and reminisce. The girl who did that — the girl who believed in herself, showed up, and did the thing yes love, she is you and she will always be you! You already have it in you. Now it’s time to let us help you see her shine and reveal the woman in you who owns her moment and loves herself unconditionally.

If doubts and insecurities have held you back from booking a boudoir session in the past I want you to know that our team is here for you! And we want so badly to share this experience with you! Seriously, feeling nervous to do a boudoir session is normal. But if you’re still thinking about this, if its really what you want then don’t you dare let a few nerves get in the way of stepping into the next version of yourself. It’s time you leaped.

Miss C. Embraces Her 58th Birthday with an Empowering Boudoir Shoot | Best Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale, Gilbert, Phoenix, Arizona

For Miss C. loving herself full circle was at the core of why she wanted to do a boudoir session with us.

She says “ Even though I can be very confident about certain aspects of my life this was definitely one of those areas where I doubt myself and feel self conscious.”

She’s not alone. Wanting to feel more comfortable in your own skin but feeling nervous to do a boudoir session is normal. And we are here to remind you that boudoir is for every woman.

Miss C. went into this excited but also somewhat nervous to put herself out there. After looking into what we do here at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale she was able to muster up the courage to go for it. Now, she has been eager to share her experience with others alike in hopes that you too, will give this a try.

If you’ve been wanting to have your own empowering boudoir experience and can relate to Miss C. then this is for you!

In this interview, she shares what this was like for her and advice for anyone thinking about doing their own boudoir photography session. Take this as inspiration to experience it for yourself!

Tastefully topless boudoir photos

There are many misconceptions about boudoir including the idea that a woman must be in the best shape of her life, and fully comfortable and confident with her body before she books her boudoir session. I mean sure, some women do a boudoir session to celebrate feeling the most confident they’ve ever felt and I’m here for that 100 percent! But the truth is that not all women wait until they are ready to do a shoot like this. For most, they are doing it scared. They are betting on themselves, stepping out of their comfort zone, and putting their trust in a professional boudoir photographer to guide them through it.

They aren’t in their perfect era. Not even necessarily struggling. They’re just looking for something more — a self-esteem boost! They want to reclaim their confidence, see the beauty others see in them, unveil their inner bombshell, accept the challenge, and take time just for themselves to nurture their self love journey.
This is what makes doing a boudoir session for women so important.

For Miss C. loving herself full circle was at the core of why she wanted to do a boudoir session with us. She says “ Even though I can be very confident about certain aspects of my life this was definitely one of those areas where I doubt myself and feel self conscious.” She’s not alone. Wanting to feel more comfortable in your own skin but feeling nervous to do a boudoir session is normal. And we are here to remind you that boudoir is for every woman.

“I must say that even at 58 years old the photos turned out spectacular  and I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

Miss C. went into this excited but also somewhat nervous to put herself out there. After looking into what we do here at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale she was able to muster up the courage to go for it. Now, she has been eager to share her experience with others alike in hopes that you too, will give this a try.

If you’ve been wanting to have your own empowering boudoir experience and can relate to Miss C. then this is for you!

In this interview, she shares what this was like for her and advice for anyone thinking about doing their own boudoir photography session. Take this as inspiration to experience it for yourself!

Boudoir at any age. 50 and fabulous boudoir sessions.

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

I was celebrating my 40th wedding anniversary and 58th birthday in September and wanted to do a little something out of the ordinary.

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale Arizona for your Boudoir Experience?

I looked online and loved what I saw and what I read about The Bella Jade Collection. After the full experience, I am so grateful that I chose them because they were the best from getting me ready for the shoot and helping me with the shoot itself and the end product was fantastic. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I am definitely a work in progress. Even though I can be very confident about certain aspects of my life this was definitely one of those areas where I doubt myself and feel self conscious. All of the uplifting emails throughout the process certainly helped to put me at ease and Christina was very upbeat and a fantastic coach helping me pose, etc.

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

I was afraid that I would not look very attractive, especially as a woman my age putting myself out there to be photographed. I must say that even at 58 years old the photos turned out spectacular and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

I loved the photo shoot with the girls. They made me feel so comfortable and I was sad to see it end and could have stayed there all day. It was like spending the day with your girlfriends and having the best time.

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?

Just do it. Sign up and get it done.

This boudoir client interview with Miss A. is the reason I think sharing is so important! For that, I am forever grateful to be able to spotlight her experience!

In her interview, she reveals having a lot of questions at first. She talks about reading and seeing other everyday women doing it. It didn’t matter what shape or size they were. They were doing it and walking away feeling really good about themselves. That’s what helped her finally do it for herself! She committed to the process, trusted our team, and was reminded before and during the session that she could do this, too!

My hope is that reading about her boudoir journey can do the same for you because booking a boudoir session could quite possibly be one of the best gifts you could ever give yourself!

Read on to see what it was like for Miss A. to have her very own boudoir session at our boudoir studio in Old Town Scottsdale Arizona.

Miss A. Shares What is was like to have her very own boudoir session with bella jade boudoir in scottsdale, arizona

Every woman has their own reasons for doing a boudoir shoot, but mostly I think women want to feel good in their bodies. They want to love themselves more no matter what shape or size they may be at the time. They want to see the beauty others see in them — feel all sexy and empowered!

Our Scottsdale boudoir photo sessions have proven time and time again that this experience really can change the way you see yourself as well as help you learn to be more confident in your own skin. I love it when I get to share boudoir client interviews with you because it allows you to see women (who also were a little nervous at first), showing up for themselves and honestly having a good time!

If you've been putting off booking a boudoir session, I encourage you to take in all of the insight and advice from our previous clients as you can! You can find them in our boudoir client interviews (like this one), reviews, comments in our private VIP group, or directly from a friend who has already had a shoot with Bella Jade. This can help ease your worries and give you the courage to finally try it for yourself.

Miss A. says…

“How was I going to be so vulnerable in front of someone I barely knew? How was I going to choose the right look I wanted? Was it going to be awkward? What if I didn't feel sexy or confident and it showed? Christina and Leah were so amazing. From the moment I walked in the door, there was just a fun and relaxing vibe. We got the music going and the fun just kept going. It was absolutely freeing! After finally experiencing this I don't know Why I was so afraid and didn't do this sooner.”

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?

I have wanted to do something like this for quite some time. I wanted to be able to learn to love my body. I stumbled across Bella Jade on Instagram. I loved seeing all the different women being shown and reading up on their experiences. All of these things finally helped me go for it!

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

I read up on the website. After seeing many amazing reviews and being able to "see" the team I felt a bit more at ease. It helped to put a face to some of the people that I might meet or work with. Plus all the raving reviews from "normal" women just like me made it all the more welcoming.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I find in some ways I have gained a bit more confidence. It's still a work in progress but I'm definitely on the right track. This was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. I left on a high ready to schedule another session!

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

Absolutely! How was I going to be so vulnerable in front of someone I barely knew? How was I going to choose the right look I wanted? Was it going to be awkward? What if I didn't feel sexy or confident and it showed? Christina and Leah were so amazing. From the moment I walked in the door, there was just a fun and relaxing vibe. We got the music going and the fun just kept going. It was absolutely freeing! After finally experiencing this I don't know Why I was so afraid and didn't do this sooner.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

Too many to pick just one! The fun and chilled atmosphere that Christina created. She is such a wonderful and fun person to be around. She doesn't make you do anything you're uncomfortable with. She doesn't just tell you how to pose, she gets down and does it with you! She knows how to make you feel beautiful and confident.

Do you have any advice for someone considering their own Scottsdale boudoir photo shoot?

Don't overthink it! You can absolutely do this. You're already amazing and beautiful. Let Christina capture your inner goddess you won't be disappointed.

Ideas to Inspire a Fall Boudoir Photography Session | Arizona Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, Phoenix Area

The first thing women think of when planning their boudoir session is finding lingerie. What’s fun about doing a fall boudoir photo shoot is that you get to play with many different looks!

Here are just a few ways you can embrace the changing of the seasons with a fall boudoir session!

ideas to inspire Your fall boudoir photography session:

The first thing most women think of when planning their boudoir session is finding lingerie. What’s fun about doing a fall boudoir photo shoot is that you get to play with many different looks!

Here are just a few ways you can embrace the changing of the seasons with a fall boudoir session!

The best way to spice up your boudoir wardrobe for fall is to incorporate layers by using pieces like oversized sweaters, flannels, and knit socks. This will transform your images so that they inspire a warm and cozy feel that’s perfect for fall weather!

You can also experiment with different textures from velvet lingerie pieces to added elements such as fur blankets, and flowy curtains that speak to those crisp autumn vibes we look forward to!

For fall sessions now is the time to enjoy the colors of the season with greys, neutrals, and traditional warm tones like caramel and copper. I also encourage vintage colors like sage and dusty rose! For a more vibrant or moody fall feel play with rich jewel tones like burgundy, emerald, and navy — maybe even a pop of gold instead of dusty rose!

And, don’t be afraid to get creative —

Consider bringing a prop like a coffee/cocoa mug to create a more cozy and intimate vibe. We’ve even seen boudoir clients take advantage of spooky season or include accessories like brim hats, and football jerseys!


The possibilities are endless! And, I can not wait to see what you come up with it! Ready to begin planning your very own fall boudoir photo shoot? Contact your Scottsdale Boudoir Photographer here for more information or click here to book your boudoir session now!

The tips I am going to share today are just here to get you started, help you feel more at ease, and get you excited about planning your very own boudoir shoot!

What to Wear: Natural Boudoir

For boudoir photos that look and feel natural, less is more. A simple teddy or bra and panty set is all you’ll need to create this look. Focus on what fits well, hugs your curves, and feels most comfortable. For this look, subtle textures like lace, and floral work well. Neurals, earthy tones, or pastel colors like baby blue, and blush are ideal.

 

What To Wear: Comfy Boudoir

If lingerie isn’t really your thing, or you just love the idea of doing a boudoir session in something other than lingerie. This outfit idea feels cozy but also looks super cute, and should definitely be on your list of things to consider! Think over the shoulder sweaters, and t-shirts. You can transform any basic cheeky panties and bra to something cozy and flirty by layering your outfit with a cardigan or robe!

 

What To Wear: Glamorous Boudoir

Wearing something glamorous can truly elevate the experience. Whether it's a satin slip dress, full lingerie set with garter belt, stockings, and heels or something even more racy like a strappy bodysuit an outfit that makes you feel confident, strong, and sexy can go a long way. Opt for fabrics that flatter your figure and colors that complement your skin tone and overall vibe of your vision. Example given — for rich and moody think jeweled tones, for chic magazine style images try something black with gold, or rose gold details.

 

What To Wear: His Shirt / Themed Boudoir

Wearing something themed for your boudoir session can bring versatility and can be fun way to add more of your own personality to your boudoir photos. Don’t be afraid to incorporate light props (e.g. baseball caps, footballs, books, guitars, jersey), though its always a good idea to let the photographer know in advance if this is something that you’d like to do.

 

What To Wear: Bridal Boudoir

Bridal boudoir photos can be done in any boudoir outfit, but this is a special and intimate occasion so most woman will want to include something bridal in their boudoir photos. There are a few ways you can achieve this look just remember — This look can be elegant and sophisticated, or seductive and sensual. Its entirely up to you! The first and most common is to wear white, traditional bridal lingerie. Lace robes, silk gowns, anything sheer, even wearing nothing more than your engagement ring are all great choices, too! To elevate this look I recommend bringing in something sentimental, or something that will be a part of your wedding like your “something blue”, your engagement ring, your wedding shoes, veil etc. Another option is to introduce a sexy accessory like a wedding garter!

These boudoir outfit ideas are just a few of many to get you started! We never expect our clients to book their shoot with everything already figured out. As your boudoir photographer, I can work with you one on one during your consultation to help you figure out what to wear. Whether that’s needing help with ideas, knowing what to bring, not bring, or finding something that works best for your body type, you do not have to figure it out alone.

At the end of the day this is all about helping you look and feel your most confident. If that means going full glam, keeping it casual (or both) I want to encourage you to be yourself, wear what makes YOU feel beautiful, and have fun with it!

your very own boudoir session with us?

Miss B. Shares her Boudoir Photography Experience At Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale | Top Rated Phoenix Boudoir Photographer

As a woman in her 40’s, a wife, a mother, a cross fit trainer — this babe earned some self affirming! I’d be lying if we didn’t say that doing this as a belated birthday gift for her husband was not a double win! But mostly, I’m glad that Miss B. signed up for herself, and embraced the opportunity to celebrate her sexy!

You see, Miss B. is one of those clients you do not forget. You know, the ones it becomes easily obvious they are adored for being nothing short of fun, fierce and full of life and love. We’d hoped to amplify her confidence by capturing all of those qualities in her boudoir photos while also reminding her that she looks beautiful just being herself! I’d say between her, myself, the hair and make up artist, and her support team cheering her on behind the scenes at home, we were able to accomplish it all!

These photos are both sugar and spice! What’s not to love about that?

Miss B. says…

“Christina and her team are the best. They made me feel so comfortable and beautiful! I wouldn't even think of going somewhere else.

I’d been wanting to do it for a long time, and my husbands birthday was the perfect extra “little” push I needed.

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?

I am definitely a work in progress, but this experience helped change the way I see myself. I never thought I knew how to be sexy or that I even had it in me to be photographed while trying. I felt not only sexy, but beautiful!

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?

The only fear I had going into this is not really knowing how to use my body to capture the images I was hoping for, but Christina is not only an amazing photographer but also a great coach! She even taught me how to get rid of my RBF for a quick minute!

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?

I don’t have a single favorite part, I loved every single moment! From having a yummy mimosa, getting beautified with Leah, to just having so much fun! The time went by way too fast!
