The 'All Bodies Are Boudoir Bodies' Approach To Boudoir | Bella Jade Boudoir Photography in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Arizona

As a female boudoir photographer, my aim is to help women fall back in love with themselves. And, my boudoir photography studio in Scottsdale has become a creative private space where women can feel safe and comfortable getting boudoir photos taken. It’s a place for everyday women aspiring to feel more confident in their own skin to step out of their comfort zone, and change how they see themselves! For that, at Bella Jade Boudoir, getting boudoir photos is less about the male gaze or having the perfect body and more about how a woman feels in her own skin.

My initial approach to boudoir and for the last 8+ years has been to have a lot of fun, encourage self-love, enhance your beauty, honor your curves, and capture images that memorialize a moment when you felt celebrated, confident, and sexy!

Ultimately, I want you to realize your beauty and find confidence in your body at any age, shape, or size. So, if you’re considering getting boudoir photos taken and looking for the right place for your boudoir experience consider this: all bodies are boudoir bodies.

If your goal is to boost your self-esteem…
