Choosing the Perfect Boudoir Photographer: Tips and Considerations
You’ve been thinking about booking a boudoir photoshoot, but how do you know if you’ve chosen the right photographer?
Here are some of my tips and considerations when choosing the perfect boudoir photographer.
1) Choose a photographer that specializes in boudoir, not one that shoots boudoir along with many other genres. A boudoir experience can be a very intimate experience, and opting for a specialist ensures you'll receive the highest quality results. A photographer who specializes in boudoir has honed their skills and expertise specifically in capturing the intimate and sensual nature of these photos. They understand the unique lighting, poses, and atmosphere required to create stunning boudoir images that make you feel confident and empowered. By choosing a specialist, you're investing in a photographer who is dedicated to delivering exceptional boudoir photography, rather than someone who may only dabble in it occasionally among other types of photography.
2) Choose a photographer whose style you LOVE! Before you pull the trigger, you want to consider the style the photographer produces. Are they dark & moody? Light & Airy? Or somewhere in between? Check their portfolio on their website and social media to be sure it’s the exact style you’re looking for. Also consider the types of retouching that they do. Do they take the time to remove bruises and blemishes and maybe soften fine lines or do they just hand you over a disc of images without any retouching? An artist will fix blemishes that aren’t permanent and have the abilities to change things that you determine are worth changing.
3) Before you book your photoshoot, you want to get to know your photographer and be sure they align with you or “vibe.” You can do this by reading their “about me,” getting to know them on social media by watching videos and reading posts, or I highly recommend doing a phone consultation so you can talk to them on the phone and gauge their personality. Since boudoir photography involves vulnerability and trust, choose someone you feel at ease with and who creates a safe and supportive environment during the shoot.
4) Check social media reviews, their website, Yelp, and Google for client testimonials. Positive reviews can provide reassurance about the photographer’s professionalism, skill, and ability to deliver incredible results. Asking friends if they recommend a good boudoir photographer can really help narrow down the pool of experts vs. dabblers.
5) Your photographer should be able to effectively communicate and respond to an inquiry, email, or text with questions you may have. Look for someone who responds swiftly and will convey and outline the details of the photoshoot and how to prepare. A photographer that discussing your vision and can address any concerns is a winner!

Behind the Scenes: A Day in the Life of a Boudoir Photoshoot
Hey! So you’ve thought about doing a boudoir photoshoot and you’re wondering what a day in the Boudoir by Kati Lynn studio is like! I have established a flawless routine that helps each woman feel comfortable, safe, and private but also calms nerves, feels excited, and on top of the world both during and after their photoshoot.
You will typically arrive at my studio at 9am or 10am during the week and limited weekend dates. We chat for a few minutes and then immediately start in hair & makeup. I want you to be as comfortable with your makeup as possible so I’ll ask you how glammed up you want to be and then we discuss colors. Do you love a smokey eye and a wing, or are do you want to be more refined and natural? Are you down with a red lip? Or do you want to do pink or browns? This part is fun and I love when you bring a photo for inspiration. Lashes are always included and add a little flirtiness to your images. After makeup, I’ll curl your hair and we’ll be done with that part! During this time, we’re always chatting and getting to know each other much better which will help alleviate any nerves you have before the photoshoot portion of your session.
Hair & Makeup Station
After hair & makeup, we’ll move onto wardrobe. We’ll take a look at the client closet and whatever you’ve brought. You don’t have to bring anything but I love when you bring something that represents your personality or something special of your significant other’s. As far as lingerie, robes, and accessories, I got you! I have some incredible pieces. We typically pick out 3-4 outfits and we’ll add in a sheet or blanket during your implied nudity set (if you’re comfortable with that!)
Check out some of the pieces from the client closet, below!
Next, you’ll get your first outfit on while I light all of the studio candles and we’ll start the celebrity-style photoshoot!
I take full control and pose you from head-to-toe, taking out all of the guesswork on what to do with your hands, face, and even hair. This part is so much fun. We’re usually joking, laughing, maybe even singing to our favorite songs playing on the studio speaker.
Check out some of my favorite poses!
My studio is unique in that immediately after your session, we’ll sit down and you’ll view your images the same day! You’ll get to pick out your favorites, purchase from our Collections or A La Carte menus, and then pick out the finishing touches to your products.
After that, we’ll take a selfie, you’ll sign my client board, and we’ll get a farewell hug before saying our ‘goodbyes.’
It’s truly an incredible day for both of us.
We’ll sit down and look at your images together. You’ll be able to check out the samples we have as well.
Are you ready to book your session? You won’t regret it. We’ll have an incredible time together and you’ll be able remember this experience every time you open your album or see your beautiful face up on the wall.
Boudoir on my Self-Love Journey
Guest Blog Post by Rose Basson
Two years ago, I had a nursing infant and a toddler. My body was still healing from giving birth, and I was actively working on redefining my relationship with sexuality as an extension of deconstructing some toxic cultural belief systems. I knew I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, and I’d been practicing talking to myself about my body in positive language.
But I couldn’t have imagined the magic that would happen when Kati and I started making our way through the studio. At some point, I found myself waiting by the window for her to change a setting on the camera, and she looked up from doing that and said, “Have you ever modeled before?! You’re a natural!” And then snapped this image.
I didn’t see it right away, but I felt something shift in my body. I’ve always had a full-body relationship with my intuition, and in this moment, I remember sensing that I could trust myself to stand up tall and know that I looked how I felt. I had gone to the zen space in my mind where I’m most happy and creative, for just a second, and Kati saw it – that intersection of our instincts was magical, and became a formative moment in my continued journey towards a love for myself where my eyes are wide open and I can look into my own soul and love every edge of her.
That same session took me a few steps farther along the path, out of my comfort zone into trying to execute ideas I hadn’t fully formed. Trusting Kati, an experienced, intuitive artist, to catch me when I fell – in some cases, literally! – taught me that some of the most beautiful moments happen when I’m vulnerable. And boudoir is nothing if not a marriage of vulnerability and beauty!
Two years later, I’ve fallen even more in love with my stretch marks, dimples, freckles, and curves. I’ve built a routine of taking an average of 100,000 steps a week and practicing yoga to nourish my mind and body simultaneously, 3-5 times a week. I’ve seen the curves in my muscles grow and change, and felt the strength within emerge, mirroring the strength of my heart and soul.
When I came into the studio this month, there was an added element of excitement for what we could create together. That first shoot fueled my adventure in loving myself completely, and brought me to this space where I have passion and light to share. My first session felt like an absorption of all the love and kindness for our bodies that Kati has to give, a learning experience, one that gave me incredible memories to draw from. This time, I came in knowing exactly what energy I wanted to leave in the studio for the next goddess who takes that leap of faith in herself and in Kati.
This time, I was able to look myself in the eyes, in the mirror, to feel the folds form as I curved my spine, to laugh as I cartwheeled out of the handstand we both worked to get me into. And I wanted to leave that confidence, that safety, that knowing that I am more than enough in the images Kati took, and in the space itself. Imagine what the world would be like, how full of happiness, of genuine love and kindness, of beauty for no purpose other than beauty, if we could all see ourselves as fierce and beautiful and worthy, the way Kati sees us even before we walk through that studio door.
I love the endless possibility in the choice to be vulnerable, to trust someone to see the best in you, and to look at and speak to yourself with love. Kati creates an environment, and experience, and images that make the world better in these ways, one interaction at a time. She sees our sameness and our uniqueness and creates connection with an insistent, fierce kindness and passion. I came into the studio to meet a stranger I knew took nice photos, and I left with a friend who’s always there to see my human soul and cheer me on, to remind me of my beauty from my soul to my smile lines, and who trusts me to be in her life in the same way.
Recent Photoshoots of REAL WOMEN!
From the outside looking in, you might think that our clients are models! But they aren’t. They are real women just like you or me. Some of them are mothers, wives, single, career-driven, stay at home, influencers, retail workers, nurses, and entrepreneurs. But they all have one thing in common - they pushed past their boundaries and had a boudoir photoshoot with me.
Here are 5 sessions you can look at below!
Affirmations - Why you should use them daily.
Affirmations are positive statements or phrases that are used to challenge and replace negative or unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. They are typically repeated regularly, either silently or aloud, with the intention of reshaping one's mindset and fostering a more positive and constructive outlook on life. Affirmations are a common practice in various self-help, self-care, and personal development approaches.
Here's why you should consider using affirmations:
Promoting Positive Thinking: Affirmations help shift your focus from negative or self-limiting thoughts to more positive and empowering ones. By consistently repeating positive statements, you can gradually change your thought patterns and create a more optimistic mindset.
Boosting Self-Confidence: Repeating affirmations that highlight your strengths and abilities can reinforce a healthy sense of self-worth.
Managing Stress and Anxiety: When faced with a stressful situation, affirmations can be calming. They can remind you of your inner strength and resilience, helping you navigate challenges.
Goal Setting and Achievement: Affirmations can be used to reinforce your commitment to achieving specific goals. By repeatedly affirming your goals and the steps required to reach them, you can stay motivated and focused on your objectives.
Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Many people hold beliefs about themselves or their abilities that are limiting and self-defeating. Affirmations can challenge and replace these beliefs with more empowering and accurate ones, opening up new possibilities in life.
Enhancing Self-Awareness: Repeating affirmations encourages self-reflection. It prompts you to consider your values, priorities, and aspirations, which can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself.
Creating a Positive Environment: Affirmations can help create a more positive and supportive inner environment. When you consistently reinforce positive thoughts and beliefs, you're more likely to attract positive experiences and people into your life.
To make the most of affirmations, it's essential to keep a few principles in mind:
Be Specific: Craft affirmations that are clear and specific to your goals or areas of improvement.
Use Positive Language: Frame your affirmations in positive terms, focusing on what you want to achieve rather than what you want to avoid.
Repeat Consistently: Regular repetition is key to reinforcing the desired mindset. You can say them in the morning, before bed, or whenever you need a boost of positivity.
Believe in Them: To be effective, you must believe in the affirmations you're repeating. If you have doubts, work on building that belief gradually.
Affirmations have helped me to improve my negative self talk and to change the way I see myself and my business. I highly recommend giving them a try and seeing how your life can change for the better.
Common Boudoir Hesitations: Why You Should Take The Plunge.
In a world that often emphasizes perfection and societal expectations, embracing your true self and celebrating your unique beauty becomes a revolutionary act. Boudoir photography offers an empowering and transformative experience that allows women to express their confidence, sensuality, and self-love. However, despite its growing popularity and countless success stories, many women still hesitate to embark on their own boudoir journey. In this blog post, I will address common hesitations surrounding boudoir photography and explore why taking the plunge can be a life-changing decision.
Fear of Judgment: One of the primary concerns women have when considering boudoir photography is the fear of judgment. Worries about what others might think or say can hold us back from fully embracing our desires. However, it is essential to remember that boudoir is a personal experience intended for self-expression, self-celebration, and self-empowerment. By focusing on your own journey and ignoring external opinions, you can reclaim your narrative and redefine beauty on your terms.
Body Insecurities: Body insecurities are a common stumbling block for many people when it comes to boudoir photography. Society bombards us with unrealistic beauty standards, leading us to question our own self-worth. However, boudoir is a powerful tool for self-acceptance and body positivity. Professional photographers skilled in boudoir understand how to highlight your best features and create an atmosphere of comfort and trust. Through their lens, they can capture your unique beauty, allowing you to see yourself in a new light and embrace your body with love and appreciation.
Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone: Stepping out of our comfort zone can be intimidating, but it is where growth and self-discovery truly happen. Boudoir photography offers a safe and supportive environment to explore your sensuality and challenge self-imposed limitations. By pushing through your hesitations and embracing vulnerability, you can unlock a newfound confidence and self-assuredness that extends far beyond the photos themselves.
Celebrating Milestones and Self-Love: Life is filled with significant moments and milestones, and boudoir photography provides a unique way to capture and celebrate them. Whether it's marking a personal achievement, embracing your body after a major transformation, or simply treating yourself to an empowering experience, boudoir allows you to honor and document your journey. It serves as a reminder of your strength, growth, and capacity to love yourself unconditionally.
Empowerment and Liberation: Boudoir photography is about reclaiming your power and embracing your sexuality on your own terms. It is an act of self-liberation that can challenge societal norms and empower you to break free from the constraints imposed upon them. By choosing to take the plunge and participate in a boudoir session, you embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, self-love, and unapologetic self-expression.
While hesitations about boudoir photography are understandable, taking the plunge can lead to a profound and liberating experience. By shedding fears of judgment, embracing your body, stepping out of your comfort zone, and celebrating your unique self, boudoir can become a transformative journey toward self-acceptance and empowerment. Remember, the decision to partake in boudoir photography is a personal one, but the benefits can be life-changing, allowing you to embrace your true beauty and reclaim your narrative on your terms.

Things everyone should know about boudoir!
Spoiler: They are so much fun!
Boudoir: Sensual, beautiful, and inspiring photos of yourself (sometimes even including your partner!) It's an experience you won't ever forget, and possibly one you might become addicted to!
One thing we should mention: Prepare to feel incredibly sexy.
Oftentimes, people are scared they're not good enough or pretty enough to do it. Let us tell you... anyone can do it! You'll realize your body isn't as bad as you think! It's the biggest thing holding people back from doing one. But trust us when we say you will be blown away once you see the results!
I am trained and experienced in going around (what you think are!) your flaws. From posing to lighting, there are magical ways to enhance your best features!
Boudoir is amazing for self-esteem. As you get glammed up head to toe for your session, you'll start gaining confidence in yourself. It's so fun to plan outfits and watch everything come together!
Get ready to have the time of your life!
Treat Yourself to a Boudoir Session (or 2 or 3, like Katie has!)
Katie just had her 3rd session with me! Once you get to number 3, 4, 5, etc. you have to switch it up! A night or neon session is the perfect switch up!
Check out some of her images below.
Break out of your comfort zone. Odds are, you've been spending too much time focusing on your flaws and not your beauty!
It's a fun experience where you have the chance to celebrate your beautiful body. It's a special session where you can discover the sexy that's been hiding within you all along.
If you don't try something new, you'll regret it. Good things never come from holding back!
Boudoir sessions show a different side of you. For far too long, you've held back. You have been too afraid to show the world your intense side! Let that go and dive in.
Someone out there believes in you. Show them you do, too, with powerful, out-of-this-world photos that will have them shook. It's a duo gift; fun for you and them! It's an intimate gift you both will love.
My Personal Boudoir Session.
I am 10 months postpartum with baby number 3 and it definitely was time that I did my own boudoir session!
What I didn’t realize was how transforming it would be for me, your photographer.
I spend my days uplifting others and telling women how beautiful and sexy they are, but I still put myself on the backburner. You’d think by now that I’d practice was I preach. As a wife, mom of 3, and business owner, I don’t take the time for myself like I should.
So a few days ago, I did just that! I set an hour aside to shoot my own session and to practice what I preach.
I can’t stop staring at them. I’m so proud, I feel beautiful and confident, and I can’t wait to do another one soon!
Should I Lose Weight Before My Boudoir Session?
Nope.
Boudoir is for EVERY body and EVERY size.
Celebrate who are you today. Don’t get me wrong, goals are amazing to have. Whether it’s a weight loss goal or health goal, I’ll be your biggest supporter. But don’t put your self-love and self-care on the back burner. You deserve to feel beautiful in your own skin. And trust me, you are beautiful now!
The amazing thing about boudoir is that when you gain the confidence in who you are now, you are able to accomplish bigger and better things in life. You’ll feel empowered and ready to take on any objective you put your mind to.
Story Time
I had a session with a client in 2020. She is a single mom and at that time was working a minimum wage job. She never dreamed she could afford a boudoir session, but we cranked some numbers and was able to get her on a payment plan that fit her budget. So she had her session, and she absolutely rocked it! She was stunning and sexy. She mentioned that she’s been overweight most of her life and never found herself beautiful or sensual. She booked a second session shortly after her first and during that session, she told me this: “After our last session, I felt like I could do anything! I immediately started looking for a new job, even ones that in the past, would have never thought I could get. I ended up getting a job as a manager of a Spa. I seriously went from making minimum wage to more than I could have dreamed for myself. I just moved into my new home and now have a boyfriend. BTW, he loves my pics! I don’t think I would have ever been where I am without you. So thank you so much and I’m addicted!”
Not gonna lie, I cried!
You don’t need to lose weight, you don’t need to make more money, and you certainly don’t need to feel better about yourself. Boudoir can help you see yourself in a new way, a positive way, the way you were meant to be seen.
Let’s talk about how we can help you along your self-love journey.
Feel Comfortable At Your Session!
First thing's first - feel confident in your boudoir photographer. Just because someone's expensive doesn't mean they're the best. And just because someone's prices are great doesn't mean the quality of the photos will be. Choosing the right photographer matters. You want to bond with them and feel comfortable at your body's most vulnerable in front of the camera. Choose someone who's excited just as much as you are!
Hang out with them, talk over the phone, and truly get to know them! If they are experienced and know what they are doing, they'll know exactly how to make you feel comfortable. Don't be afraid to ask to visit the studio. You'll become familiar with the setting and be better prepared for your big day.
Together, you can plan for your boudoir and how you envision it. What type of boudoir style are you aiming for? What types of lingerie are you thinking about? Do you want to incorporate any accessories or props? Have these planned and ready in advance!
Don't stress about your weight. Instead, eat smarter and healthier meals without overly trying. This will give you more energy without feeling blah all day! Please avoid the fad diets out there beforehand. Simply choose better meals and increase your water intake!
Last but not least: Have fun. Seriously - invest in self-care weeks in advance. Sure, you'll have the chance to get pampered and glammed up around the day of your session. But in the weeks leading up, take out time for yourself. Have a nice, long bath with a glass of wine. Start using body scrubs and face masks. Have a spa day! All in all, have a blast and start loving yourself!
Meet Miss A!
Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Kati compare to your prior experience?
This was my first Boudoir photo shoot and it was a wonderful experience. Kati made me feel so comfortable during the whole photo shoot.
Why did you do your boudoir shoot?
I wanted something special to give my husband for Christmas. We’ve reached the point in our lives and marriage that we typically go buy the things we need/want so that leaves few options for Christmas gifts sometimes. So I knew this would be a gift he would love having, something very personal, unique and sexy and something he can keep forever.
What was your favorite part of the session?
I loved getting my makeup done, and just feeling pretty. I was worried I would feel self conscious as I did this, had my pictures taken but Kati made me feel so comfortable, calm and beautiful.
What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell me your story.
Doing this boudoir photo shoot is something out of my comfort zone. I’ve never worn, or bought lingerie in my life….I’m a sweats and T-shirt kinda girl, rarely wear makeup kinda girl. So getting my makeup and hair done, having someone help me pick out my lingerie outfits all while making me feel so comfortable in the process was such a special experience. I was worried going in that I wouldn’t loosen up or feel comfortable and my pictures would be awkward but I didn’t at all.
Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different?
I wasn’t sure what to expect honestly. But it was a very wonderful experience. Kati did my make up, my hair and helped me pick out some outfits, which felt like a daunting task if I had to do on my own.
What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything?
I loved that Kati had a lingerie closest, crazy enough this was the thing I was stressing the most over…what to wear!!

To make things easier, you don’t have to do anything special the morning you head to our Loganville location. We just ask for a fresh face and clean hair.

15 Of The Best Boudoir Poses!
Many people are hesitant to do a session because they are nervous about how to pose, look at the camera, and what to do with their hands. Let me reassure you that you don’t have to know how to pose or move around during your session. I will guide you during your entire session. I am hands on and will even move your hair to a more flattering position.
Check out some of my clients’ favorite poses.
Meet Miss C.
Check out what the beautiful Miss C. had to say!
Why did you do your boudoir shoot?
Mostly as a Christmas present for my husband but also for me too
What was your favorite part of the session?
Seeing myself after hair and makeup. I normally don’t wear make up or curl my hair. I looked so different, didn’t even recognize myself
What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell me your story.
The pictures were beautiful and couldn’t believe it was me.
Was your experience what you were expecting?
Yes it was
What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything?
No I wouldn’t change anything, I enjoyed the session
Miss B’s Session!
Have you ever done a boudoir shoot before? If so, how does your shoot with Kati compare to your prior experience?
Yes, I have done one boudoir shoot before the one with Kati. The biggest difference between the two was the other photographer had a lot more space. She had several rooms in her house that she used for pictures. I think Kati does an amazing job with the space she has and can get a lot of different looks with it. Also, the other photographer had a "base" shoot, but then they offered premium "experience" packages such as a 50 Shades red room, milk baths, outdoor location shoots, etc.
Why did you do your boudoir shoot?
Because the first one was so much fun!! Also, it is interesting to me to see how the camera captures such amazing shots. It is not how you normally see yourself, but it makes you feel beautiful and sexy.
What was your favorite part of the session?
I enjoyed having my makeup done. And I enjoyed working with Kati on the poses during the shoot.
What did doing this shoot do for your self confidence, self worth, and self image? Tell me your story.
Like I said, the camera captures a different image of me than the way I normally think of myself. It definitely boosts my confidence and self image. The last several years have been difficult and since I haven't been involved in a relationship, I haven't really thought of myself as sensual. It's been more of just trying to survive. This experience reminded me of who I am and that there is more to me than just being a mom. And it gave me hope that I will get back in touch with that part of myself.
Was your experience what you were expecting? If not, how was it different?
Well we had a few bumps in the road to overcome, but we made the best of it by utilizing our time while we were waiting. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and I love how my pictures turned out! And Kati offered me some perks as well to make up for the issues.
What was the best part of your experience? Would you change anything?
I like how Kati was willing to use the poses I found on pinterest, etc. I had quite a few ideas and she really made an effort to work them in. Turns out in the end, I didn't like all the ideas I thought I would, but she also had a lot of good suggestions. She shoots poses from various angles to help get the best possible result. If I could change anything, I guess it would be to add a couple more outfit changes for greater variety.
Would you recommend us to a friend?
I would definitely recommend Kati and the whole boudoir experience to a friend.
Products to die for!
I have personally hand picked the most luxurious, beautiful, hand-made albums. When you choose one of our collections, you’ll receive top-of-the-line albums and folio boxes. These can be passed down from generation to generation with archival paper and materials.
There are so many different cover options to choose from. This 12x12 album features a brilliant acrylic print photo cover designed to provide photographic impact! The matching box takes the luxury to the next level. We love the added silver gilded edges as well.
