Feeling sexy is an empowering thing. It raises self-confidence, makes people feel desirable and can really heat things up in the bedroom. Boudoir photography is a playful way to show off (most of) your goods, get sexy with some cute poses and wow your partner with a gift they’re sure to love.





Boudoir is French for a woman’s bedroom or private sitting room, where most photography sessions still take place . The intimate setting helps create romantic images that can be cheeky, sensual, or downright naughty. Boudoir photography is one of today’s hottest bridal trends, although it’s been around for a long time.

From late 19 th -century erotic French postcards to boudoir art in the 1920s and curvy pinup-girls of the ‘40s and ‘50s, female sexuality has been the subject of photography since… well, since photography was invented. But now, boudoir has become more than just pictures of pretty girls used as hot props—women are the clients. The change was slow, and started sometime in the ‘70s when nudity in photography was becoming less taboo. Over the last 40 years, it’s become more broadly accepted as an art form.
