Thursday, November 13, 2025 | By: Daphne Ellenburg

One of the most exciting things about booking a boudoir session at HelloBoudoir.com is that you’re not limited to just one look, one outfit, or one kind of photo. You’re stepping into a luxury studio filled with 16+ themed sets, couture wardrobe pieces, angel wings, neon signs, murder robes, vintage vignettes, soft fine-art scenes, dramatic lighting, playful themes, and everything in between.

But with so many gorgeous options…

How to Choose Your Style (or Combine Them!)

Here’s the secret:

You don’t have to choose just one.

Most clients mix 2–5 looks during a full session, and that variety gives you a stunning, well-rounded gallery.

Think about:

💖 What makes you feel beautiful
🔥 What makes you feel powerful
✨ What feels “so you”
💋 What you’ve never tried but secretly want to

Tell me your vibe — and I’ll build your session around it.

Still Not Sure? I’ll Help You Pick Your Perfect Style

You don’t have to figure it out alone. During your planning call, I walk you through:

  • Your personality

  • Your comfort level

  • Your wardrobe

  • Your dream look

  • Your goals for the session

  • Your favorite studio sets

Together, we design a session that feels confident, authentic, and uniquely YOU.
