Miss L. Shares her Scottsdale Boudoir Photography Experience | Best Boudoir Photographer in Phoenix Arizona serving Scottsdale, Gilbert, Mesa Phoenix AZ
Miss L. had done a boudoir photo shoot with us at our previous Gilbert studio location. Naturally, I couldn’t have been more excited to have her back for a session at one of our Scottsdale studios, The Grey Room. She didn’t disappoint in bringing her magnetic energy, incredible sense of humor, and spirit for life and self love.
This time she showed up packing all that and some! Check out what she has to say about her Bella Jade Boudoir Experience!

Naturally, I couldn’t have been more excited to have her back for a session at one of our Scottsdale studios, The Grey Room. She didn’t disappoint in bringing her magnetic energy, incredible sense of humor, and spirit for life and self love.
This time she showed up packing all that and some!
Miss L. says…
“This experience was exacty what I needed”
It was an energy that was something even more fierce — the desire to embody her authentic self unapologetically. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing this type of season in your life you know that it can be messy at time, a little broken, but incredibly liberating.
THIS is the kind of life-changing stuff I want for every woman that does a shoot with us. The kind of stuff that reminds you that you, too, are worth all of the love you give so freely to others.
Your gifts are valuable,
you are beautiful,
resillient,
everchanging,
and frankly quite incredible!
Celebrate every win and know that its OK to celebrate the in betweens too. We are all always a work in progress.
I am beyond proud of her for showing up all in, full of fire, and a new found love for who she has become.
After her boudoir session we asked her a few questions about what her boudoir experience was like at Bella Jade Boudoir. While, all of our clients are permitted to have their intimate photos remain private, Miss L. has so graciously allowed us to share some of hers here alongside her boudoir interview!
What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
To capture the woman I am and remind myself that I am the driver in how I see myself.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?
Christina is amazing!
Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this boudoir experience change the way you see yourself?
Through all the struggles with my body image, self-confidence/self-worth, emotional stability, giving to all and leaving nothing left for myself, I lost sight of who I am. BUT...I am back with a fierce confidence and amazing self-worth that I lost because I was conforming into somebody's version of me that fit their needs; I may have been smiling but inside I was not. I know I still have room to continue to grow but like in the Pink song, "I am here..."
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
None - this experience was exactly what I needed and what I have overcame to get here was captured in the photos.
What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
All of it - I felt empowered and worth something.
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?
Remember to breathe.

Behind the scenes of a boudoir shoot with Miss M in The Grey Room at Bella Jade Boudoir, Scottsdale AZ
What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
I've always wanted to do a boudoir session since I'd learned about it. Losing weight and going through a rough break up made the timing right.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
The whole package. I had done some research and wanted to make sure I chose someone who offered everything from hair and makeup, to working with women, to seeing and having my final pictures in print and not just on a flash drive.
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 thought I was sort of confident going in. Once there, my confidence was on edge. I thought I looked good, but I felt my body language didn't.
Then, when I got my pictures back, I cried. I couldn't believe that was me. By the way, they are sooo amazing!
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
I had a bit of fear.
I knew I was going to be wearing minimal in front of people I didn't know. The ladies made everything more comfortable.
Only thing I'd do differently is make sure I stretch more for days leading up to it, haha.
Rich and Moody Boudoir Photos in The Grey Room by Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale, AZ
What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
All of it. Christina and Leah made me look good and they kept me at ease and laughing.
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?
Do it! Best thing I've ever done for myself!
Would you recommend The Bella Jade Collection Bella Jade Boudoir to a friend?
Only place I'd recommend!
And someday I'll be back for another shoot!

Even still, we all have things we are a little more self conscious of going into this. For a lot of women, that happens to be their tummy! If you’re one of these people who are nervous to show their belly and would rather conceal it. Lets find you something sexy you can feel good in but also will look great in on camera.

Just as Sexy Boudoir Outfits that Conceal Your Tummy
Lace Body Suit
When in doubt a classic lace body suit can usually do the trick! They are typically easy to find and form to fit your figure not the other way around.
Sweater
Sweaters are an especially great choice if wearing lingerie is extremely outside of your comfort zone. It offers comfort, covers the belly, and can be just as sexy when paired with cheekier panties. You can show as little or as much skin as you want with this look! Its classy, flirty, and leaves just enough to the imagination to be incredibly captivating.
Lined Teddy
Similar in style to the bodysuit, so much so that the term is often used interchangeably. The teddy speaks more to what most of us think of when we hear “lingerie”. Teddies that are lined offer more support than lace bodysuits. Pro tip: If you have a larger bust I’d suggest choosing a Teddy that offers specific cup sizes to ensure that its a good fit!
Garter Belts
Already found a lingerie bra and panty set you love, but its just not quite there yet? Using garter belts is the quickest way to spice up your boudoir outfit while also concealing the lower tummy area. Find a garter belt that is adjustable and offers maximum coverage and you might be surprised at how much more comfortable you’ll feel in front of the camera!
High Waisted Panty
High waisted panties or briefs are trendy, incredibly flattering, and much more forgiving than your typical lingerie panty. Choose a rise that contours to your shape from mid to ultra high — bonus points if the fabric functions like shapewear! These are a boudoir studio favorite at Bella Jade Boudoir.

Miss D's Bella Jade Boudoir Photography Experience | Top Scottsdale Boudoir Photographer near Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Arizona
Miss D. admits she had some inhibitions going into this. She knew that she had wanted to do her very own boudoir photo shoot for a while. As a women in her 60’s in a body that looks different from medias perception of perfection it took a bit of courage to pull the trigger. And, honestly she is not alone in feeling the pressure to meet certain standards before booking a shoot like this. But for her — doing this NOW was the absolute right time!
Listen, there is no pre-requisite to learning to love yourself other than the desire to want to! As far as I am concerned, at Bella Jade, boudoir is about loving who your are in the body that you’re in right now, then
— having those images and re-visiting that feeling every time you look back on your boudoir photos!
I am so glad that Miss D refused to let her inhibitions hold her back, but rather allowed the inner critic to motivate her to be better at loving her body! She talked back, and I love that!
After her session at our main studio we asked to interview her about her Scottsdale boudoir photography experience. She said YES. She too, wanted other women to feel empowered to celebrate their bodies at any age so that they can see for themselves just how beautiful they really are. Her boudoir interview goes to show that numbers do not define us and we are ALWAYS worthy of self love.
She says “In the days of self love, this is one of the best things you can do for yourself.”

What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
I had wanted to do it for a while and although I’m older and at my highest weight ever, I have been working on self love and wanted to see myself through different eyes.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?
I had researched several boudoir companies. After reading the reviews and seeing Christina’s beautiful personality and love of her work it shine through, it was an easy decision.
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. It did allow me to see several sides of myself that I usually do not or have not seen before.
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
I had several fears going into this experience. Media and the perception of people in todays world have created a negative view of what is the “perfect woman”. I am not perfect.
That was scary for me.
I eventually decided that I am who I am and should go into this with an open mind and just have fun. That made a difference for me.
The only thing I would have done differently would have tried to be more relaxed. Christina is so positive and it was so fun, that being more relaxed would have been a bonus.
What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
My favorite part of the boudoir experience was Christina’s energy and positive attitude. We laughed and had a really fun time. It made the experience less stressful and the time went by so fast!
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?
Just do it! You will not regret it! Allow yourself to have fun, meet and work with Christina who not only does an excellent job as a photographer but has an eye for making you look your best, and do something wonderful for yourself!
Would you recommend The Bella Jade Collection Bella Jade Boudoir to a friend?
Absolutely!!! In the days of self love, this is one of the best things you can do for yourself. I would encourage all women to do this!
Have you been putting of your very own Scottsdale Boudoir Photoshoot?
Miss D. says…
“I had a such a great time doing my boudoir photo session! Leah did a great job with my makeup and hair and was a wonderful help with posing. Christina is a ray of sunshine. Her smile lights up the room and if you are nervous her smile and personality will immediately take that away.
I had wanted to do a session for many years but was always waiting for the “right” time. Now as a woman in my 60’s and weighing more than I ever have, having cellulite and stretch marks, it was the perfect time. My confidence has never been high but have always gotten compliments from others. As my worst critic, I didn’t see what others did. I wanted to see the beauty in myself that others saw. Christina was fabulous, helped me with posing, and we laughed when I just did my own thing. She really knows how to make you feel beautiful and how to make the entire session fun. The end results were so stunning and I was in awe of her photography skills.
I definitely would recommend Christina and if you are waiting to do a session I suggest you just go for it!! You will have an awesome time, boost your confidence, and get photos you will treasure for a lifetime!”

If you’re going into a boudoir photo shoot you may be wondering how to pose, or how to look good in photos. As you look for pose ideas keep in mind that while there are poses that flatter most body types, not all poses are one size fits all. Whether you’re petite, tall, full busted, curvy, or plus size — when you choose your Phoenix boudoir photographer it is a good idea to ask the photographer if they have experience posing women similar to your body type.
At Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale we’ve photographed hundreds of women over the years and know how to pose for many different body types and comfort levels.
We also talk through concerns you may have prior to your shoot including what you want to highlight in your photos as well as what you would rather de-emphasize. This helps us decide what will work best for YOU.

Miss C's Before and After Transformation at Bella Jade Boudoir | Best Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale, Arizona near Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, AZ
Honestly, before and after photos only skim the surface of the transformation that happens when you do a boudoir shoot at Bella Jade.
But I find it helpful for you to see them because these images are something that most of us can resonate with.
Think of it this way. The women we work with typically have never done anything like this before nor are models trained and experienced with being photographed in this way. It’s not uncommon for our clients to be a little intimidated about booking a boudoir shoot for the very first time. By being honest and open about this process, you can understand what it’s really like doing a shoot with a top rated boudoir photographer like Bella Jade. It’s actually not scary! And quite frankly a lot of fun more than anything thing else.
Even still …
Right now, you may be reading this and remembering a time where you thought … “I’m not sure that I could ever look sexy or pretty like the women on your website”.
Maybe that time is right now. If it is, my hope is that seeing before and after photos like Miss C’s inspire you and help you see that our clients are likely much like you — everyday women (gorgeous from the inside out) who maybe just need a little boost.
They want to see for themselves from a new perspective. A perspective that highlights just how extraordinary they really are and brings their natural beauty to the surface. My guess is that you want that too.
Good news is that’s what a luxury boudoir experience like this does. It creates the space for you to just be yourself knowing that you are in good hands.
Not only are you getting a boudoir photographer, a private studio just for your shoot, you’re getting one of the best professional hair and make up artists in the Phoenix, Scottsdale area who (YES!) has experience specifically with boudoir shoots.

Using a Sweater for Your Boudoir Photo Shoot | Best Boudoir Photographer in Phoenix located in Old Town Scottsdale Arizona
I am all in for finding creative ways to personalize your Scottsdale Boudoir Session. Since you are one of a kind your boudoir photos will be too. No two boudoir shoots will ever be the same.
Even still, I can totally get behind wanting to add a little something extra to your session that says
“this is so, me”
when you look back on your images.
Not everyone is all about racy lingerie, garters, and stilettoes. While I fully encourage stepping a little bit outside of your comfort zone and incorporating outfits that challenge you to reveal your more seductive side, I also find it important to stay true to yourself through that process.
If you’re stepping out to do a sexy photo shoot but also find that simple, fun, flirtatious and cozy looks are more your style — try adding a sweater or cardigan to your boudoir wardrobe.

3 Reasons Why Using a Sweater for Your Boudoir Session is a YES from us!
Using a sweater for your Bella Jade Boudoir Session | Best Boudoir Photographer in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Arizona
It just feels good! Wrapping up in a soft sweater is comfortable. It feels like home and gives you something to cozy up in and hold on to that can ease your nerves.
Sweaters and cardigans can be layered, making it an easy “yes” for boudoir photo shoots. Whether it’s added over a bra and panty set or taken off within a series of images, it is a great piece for adding variety to your outfits without going overboard with outfit changes!
It photographs so well! If you want your images to be playfully suggestive yet not too revealing this is a great choice! We can style it in ways that will show off your best assets while still covering some of the parts of you that you’d rather conceal or deemphasize.
For this Scottsdale boudoir session, we chose to layer a grey cardigan over top of her black bra and panty set. In these boudoir photos she wanted to be able to show off her best features, feel incredibly sexy, but also appeal to her every day persona — an easy going, energetic, down to earth, and more of a girl most likely to be spotted in gym clothes, with no make up on kind of babe!
Honoring her natural beauty was a MUST. This boudoir outfit allowed her to step out without compromising her true self. Here we were able to capture her true personality in her images. For that, she really got to shine in her boudoir photos and I wouldn’t want it any other way!
Check out some of the photos from this session to see what using a sweater for your very own Bella Jade Boudoir photos could be like!

We get it, though. Adding white sheets to the end of your Bella Jade Boudoir Session can seem incredibly scary. Understandably, the less clothing you are wearing the more nervous you’ll likely be. So feeling a bit nervous about posing in just sheets is normal.
But, if you’re looking for boudoir photos that challenge you to embrace your body, and love the skin you’re in unconditionally — it is undeniable that slipping out of your lingerie and stripping down to nothing but sheets and a blanket of light …
can be incredibly liberating if you’re brave enough to try it.
These may just be among the most stunning and emotive photos of yourself you’ll ever have!

Don’t worry, if you’re considering adding on white sheets to your boudoir session but do not like the idea of getting naked know that you do not need to be completely nude to create this look.
How much skin you want to show in your boudoir photos is entirely up to you.

When you book a shoot with Bella Jade you’ll have an opportunity to talk through what this might look like for you before you even arrive for your shoot. So, by the time you come in for your session your Scottsdale boudoir photographer will already know what you’re comfortable with doing, which is what sets the tone for how we pose and style this look on the day of the shoot.
Quite honestly, for a lot of our boudoir clients the boudoir photos we can create together using just sheets are among their most adored images.
If you’re brave enough to try it too, you might just surprise yourself!

Miss C's Bella Jade Boudoir Experience in The Grey Room | Best Boudoir Photographer in Scottsdale near Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert Arizona
Miss C. had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot. Like a lot of women, the thought of doing a shoot like this was outside of her comfort zone - something that took an act of courage to finally commit and show up all in!
Her journey led her to Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale after the birth of her first baby. She expressed a desire to feel beautiful again. A desire to carve out some “me” time to acknowledge everything she has overcome leading up to this moment, her accomplishments, and embrace this current stage of her life.
For her, a boudoir shoot was something she could do for herself that would help her recognize her strengths, celebrate her wins, and reconnect with her body in a way that was reserved just for her.
After her shoot we reached out to interview her about her boudoir experience and she shared with us how she got here, her fears, what it felt like, and her own first hand advise for anyone considering doing a boudoir shoot of their own!

Miss C. says
“I felt so confident and just proud to be me. Flaws and all. I finally looked at myself in the mirror that day and said to myself, ‘Damn. You DO got this!’ They truly helped me come out of my shell and have some fun.
What inspired you to pursue a Scottsdale boudoir session?
I had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot. For years I had contemplated it, but never got the courage to actually book it. I had just given birth to my first baby, which had its trials and tribulations in itself, and I just lost over 50 pounds. I was a new mom that hadn't felt pretty in a very long time. I needed to feel confident and comfortable in my own skin again and that is what made me pursue a boudoir session.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir The Bella Jade Collection for your Arizona boudoir experience?
After reviewing Bella Jade's portfolio and reading their clients' testimonials, I just fell in love with how beautiful and liberating all of these women looked and felt. That's exactly how I wanted to feel.
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 always a work in progress. Who isn't? But after working with Heidi and Christina, I felt so confident and just proud to be me. Flaws and all. I finally looked at myself in the mirror that day and said to myself, "Damn. You DO got this!" They truly helped me come out of my shell and have some fun!
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them?
I did. I have always been self-conscious about myself and my body, but I wanted to be proud of the hard work I had just put in within the last year with having a baby and losing so much weight. I am so glad I overcame my fear of letting others see me vulnerable. It was such a wonderful liberating experience. I wouldn't have changed a thing!
What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
Can I say I loved it all? Cause I did! I just loved being able to feel so comfortable in a normally awkward situation. It was so nice to be pampered, have your makeup done, hair done and just feel beautiful! I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photo shoot?
Do it! Don't contemplate it. We are all beautiful and it should be celebrated! You will not regret it!
Would you recommend The Bella Jade Collection Bella Jade Boudoir to a friend?
A million and one percent! I actually already have!

Fresh Flower Pedals — Love it

His Shirt, Jersey or Uniform — Love it
The real MVP. Even if it doesn’t quite fit bring it! These items are unique to you and your significant other and will not go unnoticed. It can be worn or laid over your body like a sheet!
Body Jewelry — Love it
Body jewelry is a great accessory for boudoir photos! While we love it, we also have found that it can be one of the more cumbersome props to pose with. So, if you plan to bring it plan ahead! And be mindful that it my take up more time than you’d think. If you’re more on the nervous side or think you’ll need a lot of posing guidance then I’d leave this one at home.

Chalkboard Signs — Leave it
May be cool for pin up, or as a pregnancy announcement, but its a bit cheesy in the boudoir studio for my taste. Let’s tell your story through emotive imagery instead, yeah?
Hats & Ball Caps — Love it
So simple but makes a huge statement. We love a cute hat as a boudoir prop! It’s easy to pose with, can get you loosened up, relaxed, having fun, and doesn’t take too much attention away from you!

For starters, I’m super excited for you even if you’ve gotten this far. Because, for most women doing a boudoir shoot can be one of the most empowering experiences you’ll ever gift yourself! That’s right, for yourself! Let’s face it, this isn’t just a gift for him, babe — this is an investment in you, your confidence, your celebration of your feminine and everything that makes you uniquely beautiful!
And to be honest writing this blog post kind-of makes me cringe. But —
If you’re looking for a professional boudoir photographer that offers the empowering experience everyone keeps talking about, you’re likely wondering “how much does a boudoir shoot like this cost?” Knowing how much to save up and set aside for a boudoir shoot is kind of important, right? —The short answer …
the cost to do a boudoir shoot will vary from affordable to lavish. But for the most part boudoir photography is a luxury experience. The truth is, it is not unusual for a women to spend more on their boudoir photos than they did on their wedding photos. Now,
Before you get your panties in a bunch know that — there is a photographer for everyone.
And in some cases, even if you’re searching for a boudoir photographer on limited funds, it is still possible to hire a boudoir photographer you know you’ll love! I’ll share more on that at the end of this post!
“When hiring a photographer you have 3 choices —
Good.
Fast.
and Cheap.
As the saying goes, you can only pick two (and its true).
Do you want boudoir photos that are fast and cheap? Well, then they will likely not be good.
Do you want boudoir photos that are good and cheap? Well, they’ll probably not be fast.
Do you want boudoir photos that are good and fast? Well they will not be cheap.
So, how much does a boudoir photo shoot cost?
The cost of boudoir photos can range anywhere from $200 to over $3,000 with some premium photographers charging up to $10,000 or more. Let’s remember, what is considered affordable and what is considered expensive is relative. So, choosing whether or not to make this investment whether it’s $200 $3,000, or $10,000 will ultimately depend on what you value most.
For now, let’s consider a few different options you could choose for your boudoir photos — from DIY (do it yourself) boudoir at home to professional boudoir photos at a full-service boudoir studio like Bella Jade Boudoir.
Under $200
You can do it yourself at home with your phone and take your own boudoir photos for free.
Pros:
You won’t have to travel anywhere.
You have access to the photos immediately.
Cons:
You may fall short on posing ideas.
Setting up the shot with lighting and a self timer all while trying to pose on your own can be overwhelming and daunting.
They may not turn out as you’d imagined.
$200 to $500
You can find a boudoir photographer who is just starting out.
Every boudoir photographer has to start somewhere. Understand, that new does not necessarily mean bad. But, it can in some cases mean cheaper. In the beginning, many photographers like to practice and build up their portfolio prior to charging the full cost for their talent and services. Which means, you may be able to find a new boudoir photographer who is offering boudoir photo shoots at a lower price than their established and more experienced counterparts. You may also find a new photographer running what the industry refers to as “Model Calls”. A model call is when a photographer hosts photo shoots at a discounted price (could be as low as $200, sometimes no price at all) in exchange for use of your boudoir photos in their portfolio.
Pros:
It’s usually the less expensive alternative.
Can still result in photos that you like.
Cons:
Photographers just starting out are inexperienced in posing women for boudoir so you’ll likely feel more pressure to come in with your own posing ideas.
You may wait longer for your photos if this photographer is still not proficient with editing.
Some may even be inexperienced with photography in general, so you may encounter awkward moments where they are focused primarily on camera settings instead of posing you or helping you feel more comfortable.
Most new photographers do not have their own boudoir studios, so you may not know where the photoshoot will take place when you book the shoot. You may also be asked to cover the costs of a rented space.
If you participate in a model call, you will not have the option for your photos to remain private and you may also be asked to arrive with your hair and make up already professionally done (leaving you to find and hire your own hair and make up artists).
Due to the low cost, you’re not going to have access to tangible products like boudoir albums without going somewhere to have them made (requires permission from the photographer) or spending more later on.
Inexperience also leads to inconsistencies in their portfolio, therefore you are taking a gamble on whether or not your photos will be good.
$500 to $1000
You can find an established boudoir photographer that shoots high volume.
These photographers are able to keep their costs relatively affordable by keeping their own business costs low, and taking on a much higher volume of clients. In order to stay in business, it is likely that this photographer also shoots every day and multiple genres. In photography, studio owners typically wear many hats above and beyond taking photos. Therefore, shooting every day multiple times a day can lead to burn out. To avoid that and stay in business at this price point, these photographers generally only provide the bare essentials for a boudoir photoshoot. They are more likely NOT to offer things like pre-session consultations, hair and make up services, or have access to high end finished artwork options like custom boudoir albums. With a higher volume of clients, these photographers often will just deliver images in the form of a click to download online gallery.
Pros
It may cost less than a full service boudoir photographer.
Typically, the photo shoot and digital images are all included in the price.
The photoshoots are short and sweet.
Cons
You only get the bare minimum, which means you likely receive little to no guidance before your shoot on how to prepare.
They may not have their own studio — which means you might not know where the shoot will take place (sometimes may even be asked to cover the additional costs to rent one)
You may need to look elsewhere or schedule a separate appointment with an additional fee for having your hair and make up professionally done.
There’s usually no option for tangible products and gifts like albums.
Edits like removing bruises, acne, or smoothing tan lines may not be offered or may require an additional fee.
You may have to wait longer to get your photos back.
The photographer more than likely is choosing which images you’ll receive instead of you being able to choose.
The sessions are generally shorter, which means less/no time for multiple outfits.
Also, could mean less time for you to warm up in front of the camera.
$1000 to $3000+
You can find a premium photographer that is well established, experienced, and highly skilled at what they do. We all know the saying “you get what you pay for” wasn’t made up for no reason. Even still, do your research! A premium price tag should be in alignment with what you are receiving. Read their reviews, follow their social media, and browse their website for full sessions. Make sure their quality of work is consistent. These photographers should have a track record of happy clients, extensive high quality portfolios, a dedicated studio space, and offer a full service experience. Full service can include professional hair and make up, consultations to go over what to expect, what to wear & get advise how to prepare for your shoot. In most cases, the cost for the session and the cost for the images and products are separate so that clients can choose there own package.
Pros
Your photographer will be an expert at their craft.
They’ve worked with plenty of women of different body types, and know how to pose you so that you actually look good!
You’ll go into it knowing that you’re going to love your photos.
They’ll give you the guidance you need to be prepared.
They’ll know what to do to help you feel more comfortable during your session.
You will not have to wait months to get your photos back.
You’ll likely be able to choose your own photos.
And have access to a range of high quality products - some examples include albums, canvases, prints, and digital thumb drives.
Cons
You’ll likely want to do research before you book it (read reviews, know what to expect, and make sure they can walk the walk)
You might need to save up for what you really want.

At Bella Jade Boudoir we offer a full service premium boudoir experience for our clients and have two studios to choose from, both located in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona. Our session fee is $400 and includes —
a consultation,
private studio location,
hair and make up pampering,
multiple outfit changes,
expert photo-shoot coaching & posing direction,
professional editing & retouching of your photos,
and a boutique ordering experience.
All digitals, prints, and products are purchased separately on the day of your ordering appointment, so only the session fee is due at booking.
With portrait packages starting at $900 we have packages to suit almost everyone. Typically most our clients invest $1400 or more on their finished artwork while some spend over $3000. It’s entirely up to you. Having the reveal and ordering appointment after your boudoir session allows you to pick your own photos and only purchase what you love. Which means, you do not need to choose or pay for your final package until you’ve already seen your images.
Can Someone on budget afford premium boudoir photography?
Yes!
If you are dead set on having a premium boudoir experience but working with limited funds, know that you do not have to settle.
There are ways to go about hiring the photographer that you really want! Here’s are just a few:
You can ask about payment plans or any other payment options that might be available to you.
Our studio offers 3, 6 and 9 month payment plans. We also accept all major credit cards, PayPal Credit and PayPal’s Buy Now, Pay Later.
You can also sign up for newsletters to receive notifications on promotions.
