What Is Boudoir Photography?

Boudoir photography is an intimate, artistic style of portraiture designed to celebrate your femininity, your strength, and your individuality. It’s not about being “sexy” (at least at my studio) It’s about capturing you in a way that feels authentic, comfortable, and empowering.

Whether you’re documenting a milestone, celebrating a birthday, gifting something meaningful to a partner, or simply doing something for yourself, boudoir offers an unforgettable experience.

Why Do a Boudoir Session?

Women book boudoir for many reasons, including:

A birthday or milestone
A confidence boost after life changes
A celebration of healing or new beginnings
Engagement or wedding gift
Pregnancy or postpartum journey
A personal moment of self-love

No matter the reason, the result is always the same:
You walk away feeling stronger, more confident, and more connected to yourself.

What to Expect During Your Boudoir Session

1. A Personal Consultation

The phone consultation is our opportunity to connect, discuss all the details of your session, select a date, all to ensure you're fully prepared and excited for the experience.

2. Professional Hair & Makeup

Professional hair and makeup is always included in every experience with Samantha Kay Studios. This part helps you feel relaxed and pampered ensuring you feel confident and prepared for your boudoir photoshoot.

3. Fully Guided Posing

No modelling experience is necessary. Samantha gently guides you through all the poses, making you feel completely at ease.

4. Multiple Outfits & Looks

Most clients bring 2–4 outfits. After booking a prep guide is sent to you, in case you aren’t sure where to shop or what looks good. Some clients also love to do a ‘sheet’ look as an outfit.

5. A Beautiful, Supportive Environment

You should feel safe, guided, and empowered — never rushed. There is no time limit on your session. Samantha only shoots one client per day.

6. Same-Day or Next-Day Image Reveal

You’ll have the opportunity to view your images the same day as your shoot. After a short break, you’ll return to the studio to choose your favourites! We offer luxury albums handcrafted locally by an all female staff, and professionally retouched digital images.

When Is the Best Time to Book?

If you're planning this as a gift (birthday, anniversary, wedding, Valentine’s, Christmas), booking 6–10 weeks in advance is ideal to allow time for editing and album production.
