This time she showed up packing all that and some! Check out what she has to say about her Bella Jade Boudoir Experience!
Read MoreIf 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…
Yes, some of these concerns can benefit from choosing the right outfits but a lot of it has to do with lighting, angles, and proper posing for your shape and boudoir personality. We take special care to coach you through it all so that you get the most out of your time with us and can feel more confident that you’ll love the final images.
Here a just a few of our tried and trusted poses that work well for most women and have become client fave’s here at our Scottsdale studios.
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
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.
It may be a step out of your comfort zone — but that’s a good thing! Doing a birdal boudoir shoot can help you get used to being in front of the camera before your big day. If your’e brave enough to do that in sexy lingerie, and show up for yourself just as you are right now, then this shoot will surely help boost your self esteem before the wedding!
Read MoreIt’s hard to know what props to bring to your boudoir shoot (if any), especially if this is your very first time doing a boudoir shoot like this. Some boudoir photographers would even prefer that you don’t bring any or have chosen not to allow them at all. Luckily, here at Bella Jade Boudoir you really don’t have to guess what’s ok, what’s not, or what works well or what doesn’t. There are plenty of resources that our boudoir clients can use for support including our boudoir guide, asking questions in the boudoir VIP group, watching tips on Tik Tok, scheduling a one on one consultation with your boudoir photographer, reading this blog and more!
And Ill tell you that after photographing hundreds of women for boudoir over 6+ years this Scottsdale Boudoir Photographer has great advise for what you should pack in your boudoir bag or leave at home.
Here are just a few!
Read MorePart of planning for your boudoir photography session is choosing your boudoir looks.

Read MoreMy 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.
Read MoreMiss 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.
Thanks Miss M. for trusting us as your Phoenix boudoir photographer and allowing us to share this experience with you!
Here is what her boudoir shoot was like from her point of view.

Read MorePlanning 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.
Read MoreAll 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 her, doing a boudoir photo shoot was something she needed to do for herself. And, even though she was a bit nervous to book the shoot at first — it was something on her bucket list and she was determined to accept the challenge.
