Boudoir & nude-art photoshoot FAQ.

As couple or solo.

  • These terms refer to the second private room that juxtaposed the bedroom. This place was the exclusive space for women of the French bourgeoisie, where they could have some intimacy and freedom far away from oppressive social codes.

    By extension, a boudoir is understood now as a personal oasis. Also, it is not reserved for women but anyone.

    So, it is surprising that boudoirs often occur in the person's room. We prefer to include many other places to give more freedom, but this is a personal view.

    This type of portrait photography focuses on the seductive or romantic side of someone, who is usually posed partially nude or in lingerie. Traditional sex appeal is not the only goal. Boudoir photography sessions are also about emotionally stripping down and getting photos showcasing people's vulnerability or passion.

  • We know that it could be confusing as “boudoir” has become, for a few years, a generic word to speak about anything except boudoir.

    We have the feeling that whenever something comes from France, people think it must be complicated and confusing. But it isn’t.

    Photographers are certainly even more lost than the general audience by labeling boudoirs:

    -pajama session

    -prom/grad session

    -fashion shoot

    -fitness session

    -glamour session

    …and sadly, much more…

    They will gently exclude men from this, creating a new word for them “duddoir” which made, by definition, non-sense and even more regarding it with a Latin perspective.

    Boudoir is for more than just feminine audiences.

  • You deserve to feel special. We offer you the best gift ever to your other half or yourself - a boudoir photoshoot - a unique opportunity to accept yourself and to be more confident.

    We know what you might be thinking: "I'm not attractive enough," "Your photos are with supermodels," "My look won't work," etc.

    All our photos are honest, and we don't change your body or face. We only do minor editing and edit the overall look of the picture, but not you.

    Everyone you see in our photos is accurate, and usually, those who want to take the plunge!

  • A boudoir session is personal and unique and should not be restricted to the bed or sofa. It's restrictive for you and us.

    We come to you with our studio lights and create unique frames for you and with you.

    There's no point in having the same decor as your friend - we think you are unique and treat you as such.

    The session's goal is to show who you are and not reproduce a copy of something you've seen.

    You have a choice: we can have this session at your place or in an accommodation you will rent for this occasion. You can enjoy booking a fancy decor apartment or a boho chic cabin.

    Keep in mind we also organize boudoir sessions in the wild. If nature is your happy place, we will find the perfect location!

    We are destination boudoir photographers and can go wherever you are or wherever you prefer.

  • We have offered boudoir sessions for over ten years and learned boudoir art in France, our home country of love, romance and liberty, lingerie and fashion.

    We grew up with the idea that women have a strong power of seduction. And we know exactly how to find it in each person.

    For us, the naked body is not associated with shame - it's beautiful and natural. We see the body as a piece of art.

    Virginie used to be a lingerie and nude art model, and so she will be your best guide alongside Samuel, with his incredible skills to create artistic light and capture your charm. Together, we form an effective team with masculine and feminine wealth.

    We enjoy capturing who you indeed are: it could be seductive, fragile, funny, shy, but always tasteful. And trust us; this experience will be a memorable moment in your life!

    Find the style of boudoir you like and add your ideas to create an unforgettable memory (let's be total badasses!!).

  • We will be happy to do a wardrobe consultation before your session to determine what you will be wearing.

    Also, sharing photos of your view of this shoot will help us prepare the perfect shooting plan.

    We don’t provide lingerie as lingerie is personal and part of who you are.

    Instead, we will send you a guide we created with helpful advice about what to wear depending on your body shape.

    We have partnerships with European and local brands, including fine lingerie and erotic accessories. You can choose the right style for your body and personality.

    Some women choose not to wear lingerie on their photoshoots. They prefer wearing kimonos, lace tops, and bodysuits or playing with jewelry and fabric.

    There are so many different styles of lingerie and women. We will help you find who you are.

  • You don’t need to pretend to be someone else.

    The Boudoir session is about revealing who you are.

    We capture something unique to you that becomes part of your history and is synonymous with your life.

    Our support will help you feel comfortable during this intimate session and make the right choice between indoor or outdoor sessions.

    We will offer you our expertise about posing (without posing :) ) and offer you directions to give the best of yourself.

    No taboo between us.

    With us, you can be yourself.

  • We are here for that!

    Part of our job is to make you comfortable and confident.

    Don’t worry too much, and don’t feel ashamed - there is no reason to feel uncomfortable in front of us as we have photographed all types of bodies of all shapes and sizes.

    We focus on utilizing light and shadows to help you highlight your beauty.

  • Over time, we have done more and more bridal boudoirs.

    Imagine beautiful bridal lingerie with a veil to cover you.

    Our bride can offer an album of their intimate session to their soon-to-be husband or wife - and you can be sure it will be a great surprise for your better half!

    They will be proud you took that moment for yourself and proud to see you so confident.

    A bridal boudoir session is usually done 2 to 3 months before a wedding to allow us time to edit your photos and choose your favorites for the book we will create for you.

    The printed book we propose is made from high-quality professional photo paper with many cover options (from leather to lace); this luxurious gift will have a more profound effect than thousands of words.

  • A boudoir session is very intimate, and we can’t imagine seeing you for the first time on the day of the shooting.

    We’ll chat with an excellent coffee or cocktail face to face or via your favorite chat (Zoom/WhatsApp/Skype/Hangout) and get this fantastic collaboration off to a brilliant start!

    A boudoir is about highlighting the intimacy of a person without transforming or faking it. Even if it’s not journalism, as we will create a specific aesthetic and sometimes add some exotic details, in the end, this is you.

    This is why it’s always better to do it at your place or a place matching your personality.

    This is also why we must clearly know your mentality and figure.

  • All creators of original works hold moral rights to their work.

    Moral rights include:

    • The right to associate their name with their work (mention);

    • The right to the integrity of one’s work – without the work being cropped, cut, excessively trimmed, or altered.

    For this reason, we ask for your cooperation in maintaining the copyright during your social sharing.

  • We never identify our clients on photos (meaning tagging your account's first name or family name on the caption), even if they are influencers.

    Respecting name privacy is very important to us.

    We are posting less and less on social media. Their policy does not match our values and visions about art, body, feminism, and freedom.

  • We consider our photos tasteful, and that's what you're here for.

    As you can see, our expertise is quite extensive, ranging from classic nude art to erotic sessions and intimate couple photos.

    Depending on the nature of the photo session and your professional activity or family life, we understand that you prefer to keep specific photos private. We must know this from the start.

    Also, during our meeting, you will have the opportunity to share this with us. Rest assured that your fantasies will not be censored for any publication reason.

    Many of our clients are also proud to be able to appear in our portfolio. For many, they are posing for the first time. Being part of the photos we are the most satisfied with is a unique and empowering feeling!

    We are contacting Publishers who manage excellent references regarding boudoirs and artistic nudes. They can ask us for a particular style for their following issues. In this case, we will ask you whether or not you want to be part of this adventure. There are no guarantees when we submit our work, but it's always a great joy when Editors choose a session from hundreds of others.

    These magazines are read by professional photographers, artists, and fashion and arts professionals. There is no financial compensation (magazines have not paid creators for several decades; this is part of the facts that persist in the collective imagination), but we will always offer you a copy of the magazine.

    And we're sure it will be a wonderful memory when you look at it 15, 20, or 30 years from now :)

  • We don't over-photoshop your body or your face. We help you to show your strengths and play with lights and shadows instead.

    We'll never make extreme changes to your body, as a boudoir is about helping you accept the way you are and not giving you a fake image of yourself.

    That's also why we let you choose if you want to have makeup or not. Of course, during the first meeting, we will talk freely about parts of your body you do not like, and we will consider that during the shoot.

    We will edit a love handle caused by a pose or scare that is too "eye-catching" and smoothly work the skin if needed... but you will keep the same leg size or bra measurement.

  • We offer different packages, but our difference is that we always include a beautiful print product with any of our sessions.

    We prefer you have a final product more than pay for the session and pay again extra to get your photos.

    Check our elegant box with professional prints or our album with linen or leatherette cover with the presentation box on our videos.

    Having the print product done helps you to keep your privacy (you will not go to the lab to print your photos!).

    You will choose your favorite photos at home from the online gallery, and we will create a preview for you.

    Digital photos are an option on the first package and included in others; ask us for our complete price list.

  • We will help you to find your happy and comfortable place during the video call.

    Both indoor and outdoor offer amazing opportunities to express yourself.

  • You don’t have to choose; the boudoir photoshoot could mix both.

    There is no difference for us in terms of rates or creative aspects.

  • There is no difference at all for solo or a couple of boudoir sessions. You just have to click on the location below to see the options we propose.

  • That’s a fantastic idea, and he/she will be surprised! But to be sure everyone fully agrees with it, we will need to also meet your partner before the photoshoot.

  • We know plenty of great locations where you can be alone and feel relaxed. Depending on the seasons and areas (we serve Alberta and BC), we will suggest places with breathtaking views or cool natural settings!

  • Most of our clientele is actually between 40 and 65, and many of them coes because they need to boost their confidence.

    We understand you could have parts of your body you don’t appreciate anymore, after giving birth, after surgery, and after diets, they are many different reasons why you need to build confidence.

    We will guide you and assist you with the best solutions depending on your shape and goals. Choosing the right outfits, for example, is already a big change that will help you in your daily life! On our side, we will also focus on the best poses for you, the right light, and the perfect angle.

    We won’t transform your body; we'll just smooth some scars. The idea of this kind of session is to see how you really are (because, let’s be honest, mirrors are terrible!:) and realize you have some assets to play with!

  • We will avoid shooting nude art outdoors in July and August and during weekends (except in quiet months).

    Indoor boudoirs can be made whenever you want.

    For outdoor boudoirs, especially nud-art or as a couple, we suggest April, May, the beginning of June, September, and October. Summer months are just too hot and busy for this kind of session to enjoy it plenty.

    We’ve done some beautiful shoots during winter, too, if you want to try that feeling. It's completely durable.

This luxury box will guarantee an unforgettable memory that looks like a piece of art.

A high-quality album with a lot of cover options and personalization.
