What is a white sheet boudoir photography session?
Inspired by the iconic “white sheet series” by Douglas Kirkland, you may have seen photos like this of Marilyn Monroe! A white sheet boudoir session is an effortlessly sexy, sophisticated, and empowering boudoir photoshoot between the sheets. Our white sheet photos have been described as vulnerable, liberating, and tasteful! The best part, you do not even need to shop for lingerie if you don’t want to! Just you, a bed, and sheets. Through lighting, styling, and flattering posing direction, these sessions often result in some of my clients most loved photos of themselves!
Do I have to be completely nude?
The best way to experience a white sheet boudoir session is to strip down to nothing but sheets! However, your comfort is a top priority at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale. For that, if you prefer not to bare it all, we will happily honor that. And, don’t worry we have other ways to achieve this look just as beautifully without being completely nude! You are in good hands!
What do I wear for a white sheet boudoir photoshoot?
Many choose to wear nothing but sheets for their white sheet boudoir photos. That said, if you’d like to achieve these kinds of photos without going bare, try these alternative options: a nude or black g-string (which can be fairly hidden for an implied nude look), or bring in your favorite panties for a tastefully topless look. Also, I love a good transition from lingerie to just sheets — so don’t be afraid to incorporate a bra and panty set, too!
How much skin will be shown in my 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. Ultimately how much skin you want to reveal in your boudoir photos is entirely up to you!
Will my photos be posted online?
At Bella Jade Boudoir, all of the images posted on our website and social media are client-approved. Your photos will only be shared with your prior written consent.
How should I prepare for a photoshoot like this?
Specifically, for sheets, we highly recommend maintaining your current skincare routine, and moisturizing head to toe the morning of your shoot! Do NOT use body glitter, body makeup, or self-tanning products as these products will transfer onto the white sheets! Other to-do’s include shaving/waxing, getting a manicure and pedicure, and drinking lots of water leading up to your session! Be sure to arrive wearing loose-fitting clothing to avoid redness, garment lines, or other irritation to your skin. For an extensive list of how to prepare for a boudoir shoot check out Bella Jade Boudoir’s Ultimate Boudoir Prep Checklist!
Here is an example of a boudoir photoshoot between the sheets at our very own studio in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona!
Would you try a boudoir photo shoot like this using just white sheets?
White Sheets may be added to your boudoir experience at booking. Click here to book a full photoshoot with us! Want to try just sheets? Bella Jade Boudoir also offers Tease Me Boudoir Sessions — right now and for a limited time the theme is white sheets!

Miss A. says…
“I just got done with my photo shoot and I had a blasty blast!! From start to finish Christina and Heidi made me feel comfortable and at ease. They were joking around and having me do poses that I didn't know I was already doing. Christina picked out my outfits from the many that I had brought. She helped me narrow it down to about 4 outfits that were the best for what she had in mind. She coached me through the whole photo shoot. It was so much fun! I felt sexy and kind of like a model. Thank you Christina <3.
Heidi wouldn't let me see myself until she was completely done with my hair and make up. She did an amazing job! She made me feel beautiful. She did an amazing job on my hair. I have alot of it. And my make up was very well done. She made me look nicely made up. She didn't go overboard or too thick or anything.
I loved working with them both. They made the process a lot of fun! I want to thank both of them very much. You both made me feel beautiful and had me very comfortable. I felt very at home. My nerves went right out the door. We joked around the whole time. I felt very comfortable.
Thank you both Christina and Heidi <3”
(March 2025)Miss B. says…
"10/10 would recommend for boudoir shoot! From the hair and makeup pampering beforehand to the personalized posing and pump up it was truly such a fun experience!! I did my shoot at 30 weeks pregnant and let me tell you I have never felt better about myself :)”
(March 2025)Miss V. Says…
“I recently had a photo shoot with Christina and her team. Wow. Amazing experience. They made me look beautiful with my hair and make up but made me so comfortable during the shoot. All hesitation went out the door. I felt amazing had great experience I would definitely do it again.”
(March 2025)
Miss R. says…
“Absolutely amazing experience!
I recently had a photoshoot with Christina, and it was nothing short of fantastic. From the very beginning, Christina created such a comfortable, empowering, and fun atmosphere. We started with a get-to-know-you call a few weeks prior, which was great to ask questions and to get to know her more.
Once in the studio she coached me through all of the poses and even when I was not getting it she would try to explain it a different way. While I was there it was like I was hanging out with a friend and didn't want it to end. She knows how to get that perfect shot and I cannot wait to see the final results!!!
If you’re thinking about a boudoir session but you keep putting it to the side because you feel like you aren’t ready yet, stop waiting. Go see Christina you will not regret it. And if you don't want to take my word for it check out the Bella Jade Collection group on Facebook where there are a ton of women on there that felt the same way.
I cannot recommend enough doing boudoir photos and will definitely be booking Christina again.”(January 2025)
Miss R. says…
"I recently completed a photo shoot with Bella Jade and, having seen the proofs, am thrilled with the outcome! The aspects of Bella Jade that set it apart from other boudoir photographers I considered are:
1st, that the owner, Christina, includes a pre- shoot Zoom meeting as part of the initial fee. 2nd, I valued that Bella Jade also provides makeup & hair styling as part of the basic package. 3rd, Bella Jade's website and continuous emails are very informative and address all aspects of a boudoir photo shoot; including, what to wear, what to expect, breaking down the cost, and the psychological factors entailed in loosening up.
But perhaps most of all I valued Christina's integrity and approach to doing business, which is, nothing less than a class act. You get what you pay for, and Bella Jade is absolutely worth it!”
(January 2025)
Miss A. says…
“I went into the studio hoping for Princess treatment & left feeling like a QUEEN! I'd been wanting to do a professional photo shoot for YEARS now & have found many reasons to put it off. I finally put MYSELF 1st & reserved my session! Christina was SO very accommodating to my requests for a vintage look & pin-up style.
I was VERY pleased with the hair & make-up pampering. The coaching during the shoot was wonderful and I felt beautifully confident and relaxed. NO matter your shape, size, age, height, weight - YOU can do this! I had to stop making excuses and LOVE myself enough to be brave, be daring, and indulge myself with some well-deserved FUN! I now have a photo collection of beautiful images to cherish forever (and maybe share a few with someone very lucky & special)!
(January 2025)

Why did you decide to do a boudoir session?
Giving my boyfriend a very special gift for his birthday - - one he can keep forever.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale Arizona for your boudoir experience?
First, Christina's website is very informative, meaning it describes the experience in great detail, so I had some idea what to expect. 2nd, I really liked that my makeup and hair were included as part of the basic shoot fee. 3rd, I appreciated that Christina also built in a PRE-shoot, Zoom session to review details (i.e. what to wear) and answer my questions. 4th, and perhaps most importantly, I could tell from the above 3 factors and after talking with Christina that she is high class and was willing to work with me regarding a couple of my particular concerns.
Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this experience change the way you see yourself?
At my age, (about to turn 74), I am, finally, a confident person. So this experience didn't change how I see myself. Rather, it gave me "permission" to be who I really am; meaning to let loose and enjoy it!
Did you have any fears going into your boudoir photoshoot? Were you able to overcome them? Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
My principal fears were that, at my age and given some of my physical issues, (i.e. arthritis), I would have difficulty doing the poses and looking sexy. Both Christina and her assistant worked with me to overcome this and pose me in a way that looked sexy and natural.
What was your favorite part about your Scottsdale boudoir experience?
I had fun! I brought my own playlist and joked around about sex, my body, and my physical issues, (i.e. arthritis). I went into this with an attitude that I was going to have fun - - (versus worrying about perfection). I trusted Christina to do the rest as the professional photographer experienced in this work.
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photoshoot?
Don't allow "the perfect to be the enemy of the good." Go in with an attitude of having fun; enjoy the experience. Do your preparation, (i.e. pick your few best outfits, make your playlist, assemble your stuff at least the day before), and then have fun! Trust in Christina to do her job and get you to look your best. She knows what she is doing!
Would you recommend Bella Jade Boudoir to a friend?
Absolutely - - without any reservations!
My hope is that testimonials like these can ease your nerves and remind you that you’re worth it and we’ve got you! You’ve found your boudoir photographer! Now, don't let nerves hold you back from the boudoir session you've always dreamed of!
Are you ready to take the next step towards your very own boudoir session?

The 'All Bodies Are Boudoir Bodies' Approach To Boudoir | Bella Jade Boudoir Photography in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Arizona
As a female boudoir photographer, my aim is to help women fall back in love with themselves. And, my boudoir photography studio in Scottsdale has become a creative private space where women can feel safe and comfortable getting boudoir photos taken. It’s a place for everyday women aspiring to feel more confident in their own skin to step out of their comfort zone, and change how they see themselves! For that, at Bella Jade Boudoir, getting boudoir photos is less about the male gaze or having the perfect body and more about how a woman feels in her own skin.
My initial approach to boudoir and for the last 8+ years has been to have a lot of fun, encourage self-love, enhance your beauty, honor your curves, and capture images that memorialize a moment when you felt celebrated, confident, and sexy!
Ultimately, I want you to realize your beauty and find confidence in your body at any age, shape, or size. So, if you’re considering getting boudoir photos taken and looking for the right place for your boudoir experience consider this: all bodies are boudoir bodies.
If your goal is to boost your self-esteem…
The word boudoir pronounced buˈdwɑ (unless you’re me then it’s just boo-dwar) is an old-fashioned term used to refer to “a woman's bedroom or dressing room”. It originates from the French word boudoir which means “to sulk”. Naturally, boudoir photography typically takes place in a bedroom setting showcasing a woman posing suggestively wearing lingerie garments or similar.
Although previously a male-dominated industry featuring photos of models and imagery centered around the female form as sexually suggestive art, I’ve watched boudoir photography evolve into something I am very passionate about — empowering women.
All Bodies Are Boudoir Bodies | Bella Jade Boudoir Photography in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Arizona
You will find that a lot of photographers’ portfolios are primarily of models. And yes, you will find photographers out there who use filters and body morphing apps to sculpt images that prioritize perfection.
I can tell you that is not us.
As a female boudoir photographer, I aim to help women fall back in love with themselves. And, my boudoir photography studio has become known for being a creative private space where women can feel safe and comfortable getting boudoir photos taken.
It’s a place for everyday women aspiring to feel more confident in their own skin. A place where they can step out of their comfort zone, and change how they see themselves! For that, at Bella Jade Boudoir, getting boudoir photos is less about the male gaze or having the perfect body and more about how a woman feels in her own skin.
My initial approach to boudoir and for the last 8+ years has been to have a lot of fun, encourage self-love, enhance your beauty, honor your curves, and capture images that memorialize a moment when you felt celebrated, confident, and sexy!
If your goal is to boost your self-esteem do your research and find a boudoir photographer that is the right fit for you. who encourages self-care, and believes in things like body positivity or body neutrality. And, select someone who makes you feel seen and heard. Even if that happens to not be me, I promise that choosing a photographer who aligns with your values, understands why you’re doing this, and genuinely wants you to feel comfortable about being yourself, can positively impact how you feel about the experience and your final photos!
At Bella Jade Boudoir we do not expect our boudoir clients to lose weight, get an extreme tan, or force you into garments not meant for you. And, while you’ll get to have your hair and makeup done professionally our artists specialize in natural glam hair and makeup looks that enhance your natural beauty and boost your self-esteem. Plus, you’ll never see any over-editing on my end. My approach to editing is to create finished art-worthy photos through expert techniques like color and lighting enhancements, skin softening and removing unexpected blemishes like breakouts, and bruises.
Instead, we focus on celebrating women of all shapes and sizes and showing you just how beautiful you already are. Our thoughts: You do not need to transform into someone else to feel more confident in your own skin. Regardless of your imperfections, or so-called flaws, you too deserve to feel loved, sexy, and empowered. Above all, we know that your photos should feel like you, and morphing you into some unrealistic representation of beauty will never be as powerful as capturing photos where you genuinely look and feel your most confident. Truly, at Bella Jade Boudoir, we believe you are already beautiful and want nothing more than to highlight everything you already are so that you can see that too!
When you do a boudoir shoot at our Scottdale boudoir photography studio, it doesn’t matter how nervous you are, if you’re a little self-conscious, or if you have any insecurities about your current body, I can confidently say that you’ll be supported and celebrated by our all-female team!
We will help you with how to prepare, and what to wear, pamper you with hair and make-up, mimosas, have a few laughs, and coach you through posing from head to toe! Making a boudoir shoot with us one of the most memorable and empowering experiences you’ll ever have. One for the books that boosts your self-esteem and inspires you to love yourself unconditionally!
And so, if you take anything away from this let it be this: You don’t need to become someone else to get great boudoir photos. Plus, if you’re gifting your photos to someone special, my guess is that they too, want to see YOU in these photos and not some stranger they don’t recognize either. So be true to yourself, choose a photographer that gets you, and take this opportunity to practice self-love, re-claim your confidence, and recognize how gorgeous you actually are!

We started with a get-to-know-you call a few weeks prior, which was great to ask questions and feel prepared for what was coming. Once I got to the studio, Christina made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. Initially nervous, I started laughing almost immediately and had the best time.

And if you're on the fence or feel like you can after you lose weight or whatever -- BOOK IT!! You won't regret it”

What inspired you to pursue a boudoir photo shoot?
I wanted to build some confidence, but I’m also getting married and wanted a surprise for my soon-to-be husband.
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale for your boudoir experience?
I just loved Christina’s work and her whole vibe! Her online presence is very positive and empowering. And her work is sexy and fun without being over the top.
Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this experience change the way you see yourself?
I think of my self as a mostly confident person with some things I can definitely work on. The experience helped me to gain some confidence in my body and my ability to look sexy at any size.
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them? Anything you wish you would have done differently?
I was nervous that I was just going to look like a whale in anything that wasn’t something full coverage. But with help from Christina beforehand in outfit selection as well as just her being a rockstar and finding the right positions for me, I LOVED the results. I legit never thought I could look so hot!!
What was your favorite part about your boudoir experience?
Hanging with Christina and Leah! They are so much fun and made me feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful. They were also amazing about finding angles and looks that worked for ME not just putting everything into a cookie cutter and dealing with the results.
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photoshoot?
BOOK THE SHOOT!!! You aren’t too old, fat, saggy, or whatever… your body is beautiful and you should celebrate the stage you’re in!! This is also such a fun, sexy surprise for someone! I can NOT wait to give my fiancé the results!!
And, Christina is there to walk you through EACH step of the process and makes sure you feel comfortable and heard.
Would you recommend The Bella Jade Collection, Bella Jade Boudoir to a friend?
Yes! Yes! Yes!! I love Christina and want to be her friend, in real life. I would 100% feel confident recommending the experience!!
Anything else you’d like to share?
Thank you Christina (and Leah) for letting me be myself, not making me feel an ounce of shame. And for just being my friends for our time together!! You both are AMAZING at what you do and are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Thank you! Thank you!

Feel Better About Getting Boudoir Photos | Best Phoenix Boudoir Photographer located in Old Town Scottsdale Arizona
Are you looking for ways to prepare for a boudoir photoshoot and feel better about getting your boudoir photos taken? As a Phoenix Boudoir Photographer for over 8 years I can assure you that confidence is a product of boudoir, not a pre-requisite. But there are a few things you can do to ease your mind and feel better before walking into your boudoir shoot. It just may not be what you're thinking.

Are you looking for ways to prepare for a boudoir photoshoot and feel better about getting your boudoir photos taken? As a Phoenix Boudoir Photographer for over 8 years, I can assure you that confidence is a product of boudoir, not a pre-requisite. But there are a few things you can do to ease your mind and feel better before walking into your boudoir shoot. It just may not be what you're thinking…
How to Feel better About Getting Boudoir Photos Taken:
Know your why and be true to yourself.
Why do you want to do something like this? This matters just as much as the final photos! Is it a gift for someone else? A gift to yourself? A celebration of a milestone? An act of self-love? To help you change the way you see yourself? A self-esteem boost? Start by thinking about how you want to be photographed and whether or not that vision aligns with your why. It may help to create a dream board of photos that inspire you, or outfit ideas that you think you’d feel good in! If you're unsure about what style you like best or what to wear, do not be afraid to ask for advice (whether it’s from your photographer or previous clients it will help tremendously!). We also offer plenty of resources that can help you plan for your session like The Boudoir Personality Quiz and our Boudoir Photoshoot Planner. Take advantage of them! As you begin planning for your boudoir shoot remember: the confidence gained from a boudoir session comes from realizing your own beauty, not from being someone entirely other than yourself. Embrace who you are and work with your strengths choosing things that make you feel your best, challenge you, and empower you.
Choose a boudoir photographer that is right for you!
When deciding on your photographer, check out their website, reviews, and recent work. Does it inspire you? Does it get you excited for what your own boudoir shoot could be like? Do you feel they can and have addressed your questions or concerns? Do your research before scheduling your session because finding the right photographer (or the wrong one) can greatly impact the overall experience and how you see yourself after viewing your photos. Having the support of your photographer/team and knowing that you’re in good hands ultimately will give you more confidence in doing a boudoir shoot. For that, make sure your photographer is someone you can connect with, trust to deliver amazing results, open to answering all of your questions, and make you feel seen and heard.
3. Voice your insecurities and inhibitions.
I realize that this one seems a little counterintuitive. It’s not. Be an advocate for yourself. At the end of the day you know yourself better than anyone. If there's something about this that makes you incredibly nervous, say it. Don’t be afraid to voice your insecurities and inhibitions, especially, when it comes to privacy.
Don’t want your private photos on social media? Not sure how to pose? Worried about showing that one thing about your body you are most self-conscious of? Trust me, the photographer who cares about you wants to know and they want to help!
If you book a shoot with us here at Bella Jade you’ll get a one-on-one consultation with the photographer before your session date. This is your time, babe. I can understand that bringing up insecurities sounds scary. However, it’s a great opportunity to work through them as a team, get in front of it, and create a plan that will ultimately help you feel better! Come the day of your shoot, you’ll feel more comfortable, and get to focus on the good stuff — like being yourself, feeling sexy, and having fun!
Of course, there are many more tips to feeling better about having boudoir photos done. If you want to learn more or have any questions reach out to Bella Jade Boudoir here.

Are Boudoir Photo Shoots Awkward? | Phoenix Boudoir Photographer located in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona
Many women have fears and concerns when deciding to do a boudoir photoshoot. If you’re worried having your boudoir photos taken will be awkward I want to assure you — doing a boudoir shoot is not awkward. That’s just not true. With the right fit photographer, and a private, safe, and positive environment, doing a boudoir session is a lot of fun! Moreover, it will be an empowering and liberating experience you won’t regret!

Many women have fears and concerns when deciding to do a boudoir photoshoot. If you’re worried having your boudoir photos taken will be awkward I want to assure you — doing a boudoir shoot is not awkward. That’s just not true. With the right fit photographer, and a private, safe, and positive environment, doing a boudoir session is a lot of fun! Moreover, it will be an empowering and liberating experience you won’t regret!
After my sessions, most women tell me they can’t believe they took so long to book it, and that every woman should get a chance to experience this at least once in their lifetime. Sometimes those clients even come back! Once they know what to expect, they have an easier time letting their guard down and get to experience it all over again in a new way!
All that being said, unfortunately, the thought of getting boudoir photos being awkward can result in some women never getting to experience this at all. Ultimately, missing out on all of the benefits a boudoir session!
Which is the reason I wanted to write this. If you’re holding off on booking a boudoir session, or are close to throwing in the towel all together consider that doing a shoot like this isn’t as awkward as you might think. In fact, it feels more like a self-care day hanging with your best girl friends! And I mean that. Listen, choosing to do something like this for yourself takes courage. For most women it’s an investment, a special gift for their significant other that is unmatched by any other gift they could imagine, but it’s also an opportunity to lay your insecurities to rest and change the way you see yourself. It asks you to challenge yourself often stepping way out of your comfort zone for something you’ve never done before. And, for obvious reasons, it calls for you to be honest with yourself, look past your flaws, and put your trust in others, and that can feel vulnerable!
For that, it’s not unusual for our clients to open up to us with some pretty intimate details about their lives. I think that comes naturally when you feel fully supported by other women who really want to see you shine! And I’m here for it. Because stripping down to lingerie, and trusting me to capture the most beautiful portraits of themselves they’ve ever seen is kind of a big deal! I want to be the person for you that supports you, that makes you feel welcome, that guides you through the entire process, and helps you fall back in love with yourself!
If you could stand in behind the scenes of one of my boudoir sessions you’d see that while posing in front of the camera almost bare may be awkward at first it blossoms into something that goes far beyond posing and pictures. The nerves will fade and you’ll begin to let loose, have fun, and embrace the process!
By the end of the session, I’m seriously so proud of my clients for going through with booking their boudoir session. I can not make this up. The women I see in my studio are some of the most beautiful and brave women I’ll ever meet. Their authenticity, their willingness to take it all in, do something they’ve never done before, look past their flaws, push through their insecurities, and learn to love themselves more … it all truly blows me away!
It’s not awkward. It’s liberating. It’’s fun, and it’s empowering! If you’ve been putting off booking your very own boudoir session I urge you to make today the day you go for it! This will be one of the most memorable, confidence-boosting, experiences you’ll ever have.

Miss T. shares what her boudoir photo shoot was like in her own words:
What inspired you to pursue a boudoir photo shoot?
I have always wanted to do this but kept putting it off, waiting for an occasion or a milestone moment. I finally decided to stop waiting and got the encouragement from a few close friends to just do it. And soooo glad I finally did!
Why did you choose Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale for your Arizona boudoir experience?
After I decided to do a boudoir shoot, I started to do my research. I visited multiple sites and just kept going back to The Bella Jade Collection. What drew me to it was Christina's style of photography and her being able to capture the essence of a woman and bring out the sexiness in a sensual way. That is what I was looking for. I was sold!
Do you consider yourself a confident person or more of a work in progress? Did this experience change the way you see yourself?
I fluctuate between confident and work in progress, I'm pretty sure all of us women do. With having children and aging and dealing with body changes, it's an ongoing process of accepting yourself as you are now. This experience has definitely helped me see myself as sexy and alluring. It helped me to see myself in a way that I haven't seen in a long while.
Did you have any fears going into this? Were you able to overcome them? Anything you wish you would have done differently?
I definitely was anxious and nervous and way out of my comfort zone going in. But Christina is so genuine and real and did such an amazing job of helping me overcome that and help me feel relaxed.
What was your favorite part about your boudoir experience?
Christina took the rein and helped me get out of my head by just letting go and enjoying the experience. She walked me through everything, answered every question, helped with outfit selections and worked with me through my insecurities to produce some AMAZING pictures!
Do you have any advice for someone considering their own boudoir photoshoot?
I would say, stop waiting for the 'right' moment. Whether you're 100% confident or not, this experience will change your mindset!
Would you recommend The Bella Jade Collection, Bella Jade Boudoir to a friend?
I have recommended it to several friends already!
Anything else you’d like to share?
I have a feeling this won't be the last time I'll show up...
