Boudoir portraits capture your intimate and playful and possibly risque side. You can choose to have boudoir photos taken as a gift to yourself, as a way to remember this part of your nature for years to come, as a gift for your special sweetheart, or as a photo shoot with your special sweetheart to celebrate your romance. Boudoir portraits often take place at the photographer's studio, and special lighting, props and poses are used to help convey the intimate mood, although most photographers can also shoot in your home if you prefer. You may choose to wear lingerie or go bare, strategically draped in silk or another luxurious fabric. Costs for boudoir portraits can vary based on the photographer, your geographic location, the number of retouched photos you want, makeup and hairstyling, and more.
