Miss N. shares her Bella Jade Boudoir Experience in The Grey Room | Best Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Gilbert, Arizona
Miss N. began her search for the best boudoir photographer in Scottsdale because she wanted to create an unforgettable gift for her groom. But, getting married was not the only reason she wanted to do a shoot like this. Miss N. had wanted to do a boudoir shoot for many years. She had never really felt it was OK to consider herself as a “sexy” woman. Having this boudoir experience and creating something tangible to look back on would help her feel empowered to finally be able to see that within herself — and believe it!
She shares what her experience was like from start to finish in this boudoir interview.

Miss N. began her search for the best boudoir photographer in Scottsdale because she wanted to create an unforgettable gift for her groom. But, getting married was not the only reason she wanted to do a shoot like this. Miss N. had wanted to do a boudoir shoot for many years. She had never really felt it was OK to consider herself as a “sexy” woman. Having this boudoir experience and creating something tangible to look back on would help her feel empowered to finally be able to see that within herself — and believe it!
Miss N. wanted her boudoir session to be a mix of both bridal and bombshell! For that, she booked our Signature experience and began planning outfits for her session that would take place in The Grey Room. She even ordered a custom bridal lingerie piece (that by the way was its own amazing work of art: pictured below).
Miss N. says…
“Working with Christina & Leah during the experience I felt like it was okay (more than okay) to see myself as a beautiful, sexy woman. That's how I want to see myself & these photos help me believe that!”
We enjoyed every minute with this babe! From helping her plan,
getting all glammed up,
hanging with her in the studio,
laughing (because what’s a boudoir shoot if youre not having fun!),
goo-ing over how incredible she looked in her bridal lingerie,
trying epic boudoir poses like the infamous wall hand stand (she’s kind of a big deal!),
to revealing her finished images with her,
then finally handing over her gorgeous album to be gifted to her lucky hubby to be!
My gahhhhd I love being a boudoir photographer!

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
I've been wanting to do a boudoir session for a couple years now. I love the idea of looking back on these photos when I'm 75 & knowing I was a badass & still am ;)

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?
After typing 'Top Boudoir Photographers in Scottsdale' into google & looking through a few, I knew I wanted to go with Christina. All of the reviews were amazing, the photos were beautiful & the women's before/after photos gave me hope that she didn't only photograph models (even thought they alllll look like it in the photos).

Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?
Always a work in progress taking baby steps to become more of who I want to be. Working with Christina & Leah during the experience I felt like it was okay (more than okay) to see myself as a beautiful, sexy woman. That's how I want to see myself & these photos help me believe that!

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
When I initially booked the appointment I was super excited & then as the day was coming up I was getting nervous about being awkward in front of a camera & being awkward with a stranger in front of a camera - while I'm half naked. Once I got to the studio their welcoming energy helped me calm down & after a few awkward poses & lots of laughs I was able to let loose.
I wish I would have looked at her TikTok videos - I felt like I would have been a little more prepared. She did a great job walking me through everything, but I could have done a little more prep to feel comfortable going in.

Looking at my photos! Having my hair & makeup done! Feeling like I'm a sexy, strong women in front of the camera! Laughing with two other confident, sexy women & wishing everyone could feel that feeling :)
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own Scottsdale boudoir photography session?
Enjoy the process. Laugh. Trust Christina fully, she's amazing.

Miss C. Shares her Boudoir Experience | Best Phoenix Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale AZ
What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
My first thought was for my husband's 50th birthday. I wanted to give him something he would never forget and something completely out of the usual. After booking and in anticipation of the shoot, I realized I was doing this for me. I have had self-image issues as many of us do, and I wanted to show myself my body is my own and damn sexy. I also wanted to prove to myself I could do something like this. I am so glad I made the move to do this.
Miss C. says
“This is a great way to get out of your comfort zone, prove to yourself that you have a smoking hot body, and improve the way you see yourself. ”

Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?
Honestly, the ad continued to pop up on my social media pages and each time I looked into it. Then, there was a massive discount and I figured, hey, why not?
Now was my time and this was the place for me.
I loved how welcoming and open the website and boudoir guide are. I really felt like I could be comfortable which is what you want when doing something out of your comfort zone.
Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?
My answer really depends on what I am doing and who I am with. I am shy when meeting new people, but open up quickly. This experience has helped me be more confident in my own skin and shown me that despite the "flaws" I look great.
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
I was definitely nervous going into this and especially the day of.
I had strained my neck a couple of days prior to my shoot and was scared of how that might affect the end result because of the difficulty I had with some of the poses. I really wanted to make this amazing, so I pushed through with the help of Christina and some champagne :) The only thing I would change is the neck strain, otherwise, the rest of the experience was amazing.

What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
My favorite part of the experience probably has to be the reveal. Christina does such an amazing job and really makes this a special moment.
I also loved how the shoot itself flowed, it went from one thing to the next and truly felt like a whirlwind from beginning to end.

Miss M Shares her Bella Jade Boudoir Photography Experience | Best Phoenix Boudoir Photographer in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ
Miss M. had been in our VIP group for over a year. She was recommended by someone who's done two shoots with us. She's wanted to do a shoot like this for a while and needed to build up the courage to go for it. Well — She won our Giveaway in February and was met head on by some of her fears. A new season in her life that was filled with uncertainty but unapologetic love for herself and her body. She embraced it. As it provided her relief that sometimes doing the best we can do really is enough. Her session and time with us was so beautiful as is she.
Some might say that she was lucky to win our giveaway but reality is we are lucky to have HER.

“This experience has changed the way I see myself in so many ways. I fell in love with myself. I gave myself some grace. ”
What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
I won a contest for the photoshoot.
I had always wanted to do this, but never thought I was “fit” enough.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
I started to second guess myself in the car. I had just gotten news about what was going on with my body and I was asking myself “What am I doing here, I’m a 52 year old woman, I just found out I am in full bloom in menopause, and I questioned what am I doing here?”
I got out of the car and thought, “I’m here, let’s just do this, I don’t have to share the photos if I don’t like them.”
What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
Once I walked in and was greeted by Christina and Heidi, I just bursted out what I had just found out and experienced in the car. I started to tear up. They greeted me with open arms and said they were so excited that I showed up.
During the shoot we had a lot of laughs and for once during this building up to doing the shoot, I felt, this is where I am meant to be at this moment in my life.
I felt good about myself as they guided me through the experience.
The reveal is a whole other story. Haha
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?
Just do it! You may consider, wonder, or question about it, but no matter what, jump all in and take it all in! It will be worth it, it will be just the beginning of you loving “yourself” more than you could ever imagine.
Would you recommend The Bella Jade Collection Bella Jade Boudoir to a friend?
Yes! I would and I already have! As soon as I walked out the door and got into my car after the shoot. Best experience I have ever had!

"Instead of Judgment They Gave Me Celebration" | Miss B. Shares her Scottsdale Boudoir Photography Experience
So many woman find themselves here — not sure if they’ll ever be able to accept their new bodies after children, and then one day you wake up, realize that you are 40, and decide enough is enough.
Refuse to keep hiding your body — uncage yourself, let yourself be seen, and realize your beauty. Self love should be unconditional. It’s time to say I WANT TO LOVE MYSELF AGAIN, then do it!
That’s exactly what Miss B. did the moment she stepped into our boudoir studio and I am so glad she did! Because, this woman is beautiful inside and out, deserves to be celebrated, and I couldn’t have been more honored to be trusted as her boudoir photographer.
After her boudoir shoot with us, we interviewed Miss B. as she shared what her boudoir session was like from her perspective. She has graciously allowed us to share her responses in hopes to inspire other women like her to do the shoot and give themselves this gift of renewed confidence.

Miss B. booked a boudoir shoot at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale to reconnect with herself, and get back to feeling like the sexy confident woman that she was prior to having children.
Miss B. says…
I've always been pretty confident, but after having 2 kids and seeing the signs of aging that the early 40s bring, I've started slowly being more body shy. This experience reminded me that I am more than just a 40 something year old mother. I am a woman, I am beautiful with all my flaws and I am going to hold my head up high and be proud of it all.
And she is not alone. So many woman find themselves here — not sure if they’ll ever be able to accept their new bodies after children, and then one day you wake up, realize that you are 40, and decide enough is enough. It’s never too late to reclaim your confidence!

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
I really wanted to capture this version of myself and celebrate all that is me.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
I chose Christina because of her vibe. I've seen her video clips on Facebook and Instagram and she seemed so positive and friendly, but sassy. That sassy side captured my attention and I knew there was no one better to go with.

I am a woman, I am beautiful with all my flaws and I am going to hold my head up high and be proud of it all.

Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
My biggest fear was feeling uncomfortable and unliked. My experiences with women have always been pretty negative since my late teens and I've always felt like the black sheep in a room full of women. I was worried that I wouldn't connect with Christina, but oh man, she and Leah (the hair and make up artist) blew me away. I literally walked out of my photo shoot wishing they were both my friends in real life.
They both gave me something I haven't really experienced with women in the past. Instead of judgement, they gave me celebration.
I wouldn't change a thing.
What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
For me, the best part of the shoot was being celebrated! Second favorite part was getting the chance to be all dolled up and sexy. And the pictures that came as a result of that? Straight FIRE.

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

Would you recommend this experience to a friend?
Hell yes! I cannot wait for people to ask where I got my photos done so that I can tell them all about Bella Jade. If anyone needs a boudoir girl, Christina is where it's at. I can't wait to do it again!

What Not To Bring to Your Scottsdale Boudoir Photo Shoot | Best Boudoir Photographer near Phoenix, Arizona
Planning for your first boudoir photoshoot can be intimidating at first, especially when it comes to picking out outfits, accessories, props, and figuring out what to bring with you on the day of your shoot. We love being able to chat one on one with our clients before the day of their session and also share tons of tips and tricks in our private VIP group to help you prepare and feel more comfortable with doing a shoot like this with us.
We recommend that all of our boudoir clients pack for their big day no later than the night before. And to be honest, you really don’t need much more than handful of outfits, a pair of heels, and a few simple accessories. We talk a lot about this during your styling and wardrobe consultation so that you are not left scrambling the night before trying to guess what you should have packed.
While you may be wondering what you should bring in your boudoir bag, we also want you to consider what NOT to bring to your boudoir session.

While you may be wondering what you should bring in your boudoir bag, we also want you to consider what NOT to bring to your boudoir session.
What NOT to bring to your Scottsdale boudoir photo shoot:
An Overwhelming Amount of Jewelry
Jewelry is one of those statement pieces that can add an extra bit of va va voom to your photos. It looks good. It feels good. And its super tempting to want to bring it all! But, it actually best you leave the majority of your collection at home. Focus on one or two pieces that you love or that are sentimental to you and pair them with each outfit in advance. Your jewelry should be timeless, compliment your outfits, and fall nicely when laying down.
Distracting Props
If you want to personalize your session by bringing in a prop, GO FOR IT! We find props to be exciting, and for a lot of women bringing a prop can help pull you out of your shell and unleash the real you! Proceed with caution though. Some props can be cumbersome to work with and/or take away from the star of the show, which on this day is YOU.
For a list of props to avoid come back and check out our blog post Props | Love it or Leave it.
Your Make-up Bag
Mostly, because you wont need it. It’s understandable to bring your favorite lip or special foundation — Just know that our in house stylists have professional kits that can accommodate almost everything make up that is needed to get you ready for your boudoir shoot. This includes an array of false eyelashes and lip colors to choose from. Of course it is always best practice to let us know in advance of things like hypersensitive skin or allergies.
“It just doesn’t fit quite right” Outfits
Try everything on before you pack, and make sure that you give yourself enough time exchange your items as needed. If it just doesn’t fit quite right and you cant stop thinking about it … maybe its best to size up or down, or try something else entirely. Feeling a bit unsure about something because this is a little outside of your comfort zone is normal, but don’t push yourself so far that you cant get out of your head about it. A good outfit is made to fit you not the other way around. Outfits should hug your shape, fit well, enhance your beauty, and make you feel like a bad bitch.

Miss N's Boudoir Photo Shoot in The New Grey Room! | Best Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale, Phoenix AZ
All I can say is WOW! What a babe! This girls boudoir shoot in The ***new*** Grey Room was fire!
For a hot second she had me fooled. Going into it she was a little self conscious. She worried that she wouldn’t know how to pose and that she would look awkward in her boudoir photos. But as long as she trusted me, I wasn’t worried. She was going into this for all of the right reasons. She was ready in that its about time what are we waiting for kind of way. She needed this and I knew she was going to nail it!
What I didn’t know was that she was going to be tossing hair, laughing, and feeling herself before the warm up even barely started! And, I’ll take that kind of energy any day!
THAT-A-Girl!
For those of you reading this and wondering how the actual photo shoot works …

For those of you reading this and wondering how the actual photo shoot works …
Miss N. says…
“I am my own worst critic and I wanted to do something to help me be more confident and I have never felt so confident like I did during my photo shoot.”
Toward the beginning of every session we like to do a warm up. Which is basically your boudoir photographer showing you a few tricks and coaching you through a series of tried and trusted poses. After 6+ years photographing women from all walks of life and different comfort levels, we know that keeping it simple in the beginning is this is the best way to get you started! And we tell you exactly what to do down to your finger tips. That’s right — you don’t have to know what you are doing. (you can exhale now… ). And here’s the thing … even if the first couple of photos are a total flop I don’t even care. I’m still not worried and you need not to either.
I realize — that even though this whole boudoir thing is not new to me, for most of our boudoir clients this is ALL new to you — every part of it
The Lingerie
The Studio
The Make Up
The Moving Through Posing while trying to look sexy!
And if you’re feeling anything like Miss N was prior to booking her shoot and having a consultation with us, you are probably stepping way out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. So its OK to be nervous. We get it!
The warm up gives you a chance to get more comfortable being in front of the camera, taking direction, and finding your own flow! Again, we don’t expect you to come in having it all figured out in less than 60 seconds. Eventually the nerves will fade out and you’ll find your own rhythm. You’d be surprised how quickly you can get passed thinking about flaws and fears when you are having fun!
For Miss N it went a little like this: It was like I blinked, looked down at my camera, then BAM there was this super confident, playful, feeling some type of way Bombshell in front of me barely even through the warm up!
We LOVE that! Permission to brag to all of your friends how bad af you are!
After her session she shared with us what it was like from her perspective and I am excited that she has allowed us to now share her story with you.
Remember, at Bella Jade our clients get to choose whether or not their boudoir photos are shared. We will never share your private photos without your consent. And, we are more than ok with that!
Miss N. shares her Boudoir Experience …
What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
I came into the new year wanting to love myself more and I needed a confidence boost and I thought what better way than a boudoir shoot! I needed to step out of my comfort zone and this definitely did that for me.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?
To be completely honest? I was thinking about doing a boudoir shoot and Bam! There you were popping up on Instagram!
Photo taken in The Grey Room by Bella Jade Boudoir in Old Town Scottsdale Arizona.
Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?
Work in progress for sure! I am my own worst critic and I wanted to do something to help me be more confident and I have never felt so confident like I did during my photo shoot.
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
I am normally a very awkward person so I was worried that would come out in my pictures and it definitely did not. I was amazed at how well Christina captured my natural sexiness and how natural I looked in my photos.
What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
Everything from beginning to end… The whole process was amazing I felt completely comfortable in front of both of the make up artist and photographer. They made me feel at home and nothing about it felt weird. Picking out my photos was also fun. I did not feel pressured or rushed.
It was just all-around fun.

Miss D. Shares her Scottsdale Boudoir Photography Experience | Top Rated Arizona Boudoir Photographer in Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, Scottsdale
Miss D. came in for her very first boudoir shoot at our Scottsdale boudoir studio barely nervous at all … When planning her boudoir outfits she knew that she wanted to do something that would leave her feeling sexy and glamourous with lingerie and a classy garter belt (hold the stockings — wait until you see these boudoir photos!)
Miss D. came in for her very first boudoir shoot at our Scottsdale boudoir studio barely nervous at all! Believe it or not, at the time she had two 18 month old twins, hustling multiple businesses, was getting married, and planning a move all at the same time! So, I am so glad to see that she was able to carve out some time JUST for herself to enjoy the a day of self care and to celebrate all of her milestones.

After having her pre photoshoot consultation and seeing ideas on our Instagram she felt inspired and decided it would also be fun to explore her more playful side by bringing in a baseball jersey to wear as well. This is what’s great about this process! Because, seriously they turned out to be some of the sexiest boudoir photos!
And, though Miss D. did not have as many reservations as most do going into their very first boudoir session, she wants other women to know regardless just do it and don’t over think it!
I really think that is good advice. Not just for deciding to book a Scottsdale boudoir photo shoot for yourself but also during planning! Be open minded, keep it simple, and don’t overthink it. The sexiest photos sometimes don’t require a ton of outfit planning at all. PLUS we know how to make almost any outfit look hot and will always guide you towards what’s going to work best for you and in boudoir photos!
Here are some more of Miss D’s boudoir photos that she had so graciously allowed us to share. You can also check out some of her answers to how she felt about her own boudoir experience at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Boudoir & All that Sexy Stuff | Phoenix Boudoir Photographer
At The Bella Jade Collection in Phoenix we are boudoir photography specialists, but we don't try to define sexy. We don't have a to-do list on how to get sexier for your boudoir pictures. And we certainly do not decide for you what you have to wear to be sexy. That's not us - and we are proud of it. Why? Our boudoir clients re-define sexy everyday by breaking through to their true selves and embracing who they are in their own skin. And we believe you can to.
At The Bella Jade Collection we don't try to define sexy. We don't have a to-do list on how to get sexier for your boudoir pictures. And we certainly do not decide for you what you have to wear to be sexy. That's not us - and we are proud of it. Why?
Our boudoir clients re-define sexy everyday by breaking through to their true selves and embracing who they are in their own skin.
Of course I will provide my expert advice to help you feel more confident and comfortable during your session. I want you to look great, feel great, and walk away with the most captivating portraits of yourself you've ever seen. But, I also want you to be yourself, have fun, and re-discover what makes you uniquely beautiful! Otherwise to me all of that stuff (the lingerie, the make-up, the lashes, the lush hair, and that one photo where you looked like a model straight out of a magazine!) is just, well, stuff.
I believe that whether you are doing this for yourself or for a significant other, a boudoir session is an investment in you! So, why shouldn't it be about you and celebrate all of the wonderful things that make you uniquely beautiful? Why does it just have to be about (you know) the "sexy" stuff. We take a different approach here at our phoenix boudoir studio, and want you to know that YOU are what makes boudoir the hottest and sexiest gift EVER! And, you are going to rock it by simply by being you and trusting your boudoir photographer to worry about all that other stuff.
I know, I know. I make all of this sound SO simple and I do understand that taking the leap and booking your boudoir photographer takes a bit of courage. I want my clients to know that having it all figured out prior to your boudoir photo-shoot is NOT a requirement. Before you go scouring the web with anxiety and jotting down notes on how to be sexy or memorizing hundreds of boudoir poses stop for a moment and remember that seriously
-the sexiest thing you can do is be yourself!
What better way to encourage this type of attitude than to SHOW you what I mean with photos of real women who have braved the boudoir and rocked it just by being themselves and embracing their bodies and personalities to the core!
Miss K. was a welcomed guest at one of our boudoir parties and I am excited to be able to share her images not just because she looks fabulous but because she also ranks among the many who are not quite sure about this whole boudoir thing.
She was not ashamed to admit that she wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for being invited by a dear friend - a blow to the heart of a passionate boudoir photographer, but also the truth for most women out there. And, even though those words are never my absolute fave - I also knew right then I adored her, because her honesty and willingness to try something new is what I admire most about my clients. And this was my chance to show her how amazing a boudoir experience can be and give her something she will never forget.
I had to know more ( because I really did want her to feel comfortable) and as we talked about her skepticism about this whole boudoir thing, and how humorous some of the preparation lists they all had found on the internet seemed, I had to give it a bit of a laugh myself. But you guys I cant stress enough that at the end of the day, the best way to prepare is to just have a sit down with yourself and figure out what YOU want and what is going to make YOU feel good about yourself. It didn't take Miss K very long to break through to the real her, and exude her own kind of sexy and we LOVE that here ar our Phoenix boudoir studio. Yes, the "stuff" and preparation will always be importrant, but not as important as
breaking through to the real you, and seeing yourself as unapologetically beautiful.
