When it comes to boudoir photography, there are so many possibilities for posing and styling! If you are wanting to do a boudoir session to feel liberated, and empowered, consider incorporating a fur blanket into your shoot! The soft texture and luxurious feel of the fur blanket can add a touch of elegance and allure to your photos, creating a more sensual yet sophisticated look.

Here are just a few looks for inspiration. These photos are from our very first boudoir session in the newly transformed space and we are absolutely loving it!
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.

This was Miss M’s very first boudoir photo shoot. Like a lot of our clients she had a little bit of fear going into this but she had wanted to do a boudoir shoot for a long time. And, for Miss M. she was hopeful that doing something like this would bring her confidence back and allow her the space she needed to appreciate where she is right now, all in.

Read MoreMiss D. admits she had some inhibitions going into this. She knew that she had wanted to do her very own boudoir photo shoot for a while. As a women in her 60’s in a body that looks different from medias perception of perfection it took a bit of courage to pull the trigger. And, honestly she is not alone in feeling the pressure to meet certain standards before booking a shoot like this. But for her — doing this NOW was the absolute right time!
Listen, there is no pre-requisite to learning to love yourself other than the desire to want to! As far as I am concerned, at Bella Jade, boudoir is about loving who your are in the body that you’re in right now, then
— having those images and re-visiting that feeling every time you look back on your boudoir photos!
I am so glad that Miss D refused to let her inhibitions hold her back, but rather allowed the inner critic to motivate her to be better at loving her body! She talked back, and I love that!
After her session at our main studio we asked to interview her about her Scottsdale boudoir photography experience. She said YES. She too, wanted other women to feel empowered to celebrate their bodies at any age so that they can see for themselves just how beautiful they really are. Her boudoir interview goes to show that numbers do not define us and we are ALWAYS worthy of self love.
She says “In the days of self love, this is one of the best things you can do for yourself.”

I’m telling you —
Miss C. had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot. Like a lot of women, the thought of doing a shoot like this was outside of her comfort zone - something that took an act of courage to finally commit and show up all in!
Her journey led her to Bella Jade Boudoir in Scottsdale after the birth of her first baby. She expressed a desire to feel beautiful again. A desire to carve out some “me” time to acknowledge everything she has overcome leading up to this moment, her accomplishments, and embrace this current stage of her life.
For her, a boudoir shoot was something she could do for herself that would help her recognize her strengths, celebrate her wins, and reconnect with her body in a way that was reserved just for her.
After her shoot we reached out to interview her about her boudoir experience and she shared with us how she got here, her fears, what it felt like, and her own first hand advise for anyone considering doing a boudoir shoot of their own!

Read MoreMy first thought was for my husband's 50th birthday. I wanted to give him something he would never forget and something completely out of the usual. After booking and in anticipation of the shoot, I realized I was doing this for me. I have had self-image issues as many of us do, and I wanted to show myself my body is my own and damn sexy. I also wanted to prove to myself I could do something like this. I am so glad I made the move to do this.
Read MoreMiss M. had been in our VIP group for over a year. She was recommended by someone who's done two shoots with us. She's wanted to do a shoot like this for a while and needed to build up the courage to go for it. Well — She won our Giveaway in February and was met head on by some of her fears. A new season in her life that was filled with uncertainty but unapologetic love for herself and her body. She embraced it. As it provided her relief that sometimes doing the best we can do really is enough. Her session and time with us was so beautiful as is she.
Some might say that she was lucky to win our giveaway but reality is we are lucky to have HER.

Read MoreAll I can say is WOW! What a babe! This girls boudoir shoot in The ***new*** Grey Room was fire!
For a hot second she had me fooled. Going into it she was a little self conscious. She worried that she wouldn’t know how to pose and that she would look awkward in her boudoir photos. But as long as she trusted me, I wasn’t worried. She was going into this for all of the right reasons. She was ready in that its about time what are we waiting for kind of way. She needed this and I knew she was going to nail it!
What I didn’t know was that she was going to be tossing hair, laughing, and feeling herself before the warm up even barely started! And, I’ll take that kind of energy any day!
THAT-A-Girl!
