Read MoreQuotes to Inspire Confidence Before A Boudoir Session
Embarking on something as empowering as a boudoir session is exciting! However, if you are someone who has ever struggled with body image, lingering insecurities, self doubt, or questioned whether or not you are pretty enough for a shoot like this it can be especially nerve racking. Even those who are in a good place when it comes to their self-love journey have spoken up about feeling nervous. After all wearing lingerie let alone wearing lingerie to have your photos taken is typically new and often challenges women to step outside of their comfort zone. My hope is that these quotes will inspire you and motivate you to feel more comfortable about having your own boudoir session. It’s time to lean in, put your inner critic aside, and get excited about how liberating your boudoir experience will be! You are powerful, beautiful, and brave. You deserve to be seen, feel sexy, and more confident in your own skin! What are you waiting for? Let’s do this! Becuase at the end of the day — its not about being or looking a certain way it’s about feeling more confident, believing in yourself, honoring your body, and learning to love yourself unconditionally.
Stepping into a new season of life can be vulnerable territory, but it's also an opportunity to rediscover who you are and embrace the changes and growth that come with it.
If you’re currently feeling disconnected from parts of you that once made you feel vibrant, unstoppable, and sexy, a boudoir session can be an excellent way to reconnect with yourself. It can help you see yourself in a new light and better appreciate the person you're becoming!
Recently, we did a boudoir session at our Scottsdale Boudoir Studio with Miss E., a mom who had gone through a divorce looking to re-find her sexy side. As a powerhouse in her career, a dedicated mother, and a woman who takes a lot of pride in nurturing her body, most aspects of her life already exuded an abundance of confidence.
Her story is something that a lot of women can relate to. This woman is truly admirable and I am so thankful to have had her in our studio! After her session we asked her about her boudoir experience — what inspired her, what she loved most, and any advice she might have for other women considering their very own boudoir session.
With her permission, we are now able to share that with you along with some of her boudoir photos!
Read MoreIf you’re still thinking about doing a boudoir session, if you want to practice self love, and feel more confident in your own skin I urge you to make 2024 your year for change (and I don’t just mean the physical ones). I’m talking about healing and forgiving yourself for all of the bad things you’ve ever said about your body. Make an honest commitment to becoming the kind of woman who can find compassion for herself — the kind of woman who can celebrate other women and also honor her own body, despite her flaws.
Push through self doubt and permit yourself to go all in … even if you don’t feel quite ready yet. Because, chances are that carving out some you time to do a shoot like this will leave you feeling like a new woman. A woman empowered who knows what she wants and goes for it!

This is why we love sharing boudoir photos and interviews from our previous boudoir clients! I appreciate them so much for being there for you in this way and allowing us to feature their boudoir sessions!
Here is what Miss B had to say about hers along with some of her favorite boudoir photos from her very own boudoir session in our second studio, The Grey Room in Old Town Scottsdale!
For Miss C. loving herself full circle was at the core of why she wanted to do a boudoir session with us.
She says “ Even though I can be very confident about certain aspects of my life this was definitely one of those areas where I doubt myself and feel self conscious.”
She’s not alone. Wanting to feel more comfortable in your own skin but feeling nervous to do a boudoir session is normal. And we are here to remind you that boudoir is for every woman.
Miss C. went into this excited but also somewhat nervous to put herself out there. After looking into what we do here at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale she was able to muster up the courage to go for it.

Read MoreThis boudoir client interview with Miss A. is the reason I think sharing is so important! For that, I am forever grateful to be able to spotlight her experience!
In her interview, she reveals having a lot of questions at first. She talks about reading and seeing other everyday women doing it. It didn’t matter what shape or size they were. They were doing it and walking away feeling really good about themselves. That’s what helped her finally do it for herself! She committed to the process, trusted our team, and was reminded before and during the session that she could do this, too!
My hope is that reading about her boudoir journey can do the same for you because booking a boudoir session could quite possibly be one of the best gifts you could ever give yourself!
Read on to see what it was like for Miss A. to have her very own boudoir session at our boudoir studio in Old Town Scottsdale Arizona.
Read MoreMiss A. says “How was I going to be so vulnerable in front of someone I barely knew? How was I going to choose the right look I wanted? Was it going to be awkward? What if I didn't feel sexy or confident and it showed…
Miss M. was gifted a boudoir session with us. And though she considers herself a highly confident woman, she, too, was a little nervous to step in front of the camera for something like this. Let’s be honest, it’s not everyday you slip into your skivvies to be photographed. Plus, Ill bet there’s been a time you’ve looked at a photograph of yourself and thought “I hate the way I look in that photo”. So, I don’t blame anyone for being a little hesitant at first. I think most women can relate to seeing photos of themselves and not liking the way they look in them. Know that this, a boudoir session at Bella Jade Boudoir, will not be one of those times.
This experience will be unlike any other photoshoot you’ve ever had before, because our aim is not just to take pictures of you.
Our aim is to inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace your sensuality, all the while having one of the most exciting, fun, and liberating times of your life.
If you ever get an opportunity, like Miss M did, to do a boudoir session at Bella Jade, I can confidently say that these images will be the sexiest and most captivating portraits of yourself you’ve ever seen!

I’d be lying if we didn’t say that doing this as a belated birthday gift for her husband was not a double win! But mostly, I’m glad that Miss B. signed up for herself, and embraced the opportunity to celebrate her sexy! This session allowed her to connect with herself in a way that was both freeing and empowering!

This is for anyone considering their very own boudoir session as well as those who love the power of boudoir as much as we do — for that, we are forever grateful to have clients like Miss B. to share their experience with us!
Read MoreThe thing is that our clients are not all models. They’ve typically never even been in a professional photography setting or posed in such a vulnerable and intimate way.
Regardless of whether they choose to do a boudoir session as a gift to their significant other or for themselves, most desire to realize their beauty through this experience and feel more confident in their own skin when they look back at their boudoir photos.
It takes courage to be vulnerable. And we know that these women choose our boudoir team for a reason
For that, it is important that our space and approach invites them to feel at ease, comfortable, and free to be themselves.
Using natural light allows us to capture you looking and feeling your most confident in a way that is both flattering and truly representative of who you are and how you envision being photographed.
If doing a boudoir session at Bella Jade Boudoir is something that you are considering you’ll appreciate this series of boudoir photos and poses from a recent boudoir session we did in The Main Studio.
For this look we wanted to do something that felt effortless. The photos would speak both to sensuality and sophistication.
To celebrate her 50th birthday Miss T. decided to book a boudoir session with us at Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale. This was something she knew would have to be on her bucket list no matter how scary it seemed — She would later find that doing this session had in fact made a positive impact on her self esteem and gave her a huge sense of pride. Looking back at these photos is now something she finds encouraging, empowering, and uses it as a reminder for herself that we are capable of amazing things if we can set aside what we’re afraid of, believe in ourselves, and are willing to step outside of our comfort zones.
For her boudoir session Miss T. booked The Grey Room in Scottsdale and wore a variety of outfits from sweet, subtlety seductive to something more ris·qué including topless with a white button down shirt. In her after the session interview she talks about how her most nerve wracking outfit ended up being in one of her favorite pics.
She shares her experience in this boudoir interview *Shared with her permission.
She says “Words can not express the amazing experience I had. Turning 50 at the end of 2022 and being body shamed since I was 12 this was something I have wanted to do for years but was so afraid to. Made it a bucket list item and signed up. I did my research on other photographers but following Christina on social media I got the feeling she truly cared and understood that not all women are built the same and we have our insecurities. I was right the moment I walked in the door the day of the shoot I felt like I was hanging out with old friends just catching up and having a great time. Then when I saw the completed pics all my previous worries went away and I am completely proud of myself for doing this. If this is something you are wanting to do I highly recommend reaching out to The Bella Jade Collection.”
Read MoreIf you’ve already booked your Phoenix Boudoir Photography Session and are beginning to plan for your shoot you may be wondering how to prepare or what to bring with you on the day of your boudoir session. For our clients here at Bella Jade Boudoir we invite them to schedule a pre-shoot consultation with us to better understand just what to expect and get even more tailored guidance on how to get ready for their session with us.
Here are 5 quick tips we share with every boudoir client:
I wish I could say that doing a boudoir session is an easy YES for everyone, because I wholeheartedly believe in boudoir and what it can do for you. Though — the truth is that it is not uncommon for women to put off doing a shoot like this.
Not only can it be incredibly intimidating at first, but it takes courage to confront your own doubts and body insecurities. For some a boudoir session can challenge the way they see themselves. While that journey can empower confidence it isn’t always easy to show up all in, right away.
If you’ve been putting off booking your very own boudoir session or are already on our schedule but looking for encouragement and advice then you’ve made it to the right place.
