Boudoir Sessions Boudoir (pronouned bood-wha): A boudoir is a lady's private bedroom, sitting room or dressing room. The term derives from the French verb bouder, meaning "to pout." Historically, the boudoir formed part of the private suite of rooms of a lady, for bathing and dressing, adjacent to her bedchamber. In later periods, the boudoir was used as a private drawing room, and was used for other activities, such as embroidery or entertaining intimate acquaintances.

Choose clothing for your session that you feel confident and romantic while wearing. Confidence translates to seductive and sexy portraits.

Drink lots of water the week of your session. It will flush your skin so you have a healthy glow, and you'll loose a little weight too.
