From Disappointment to Confidence: A Real Lafayette Couple’s Boudoir Photography Experience
Why One Woman Chose a Second Boudoir Shoot — and Finally Felt Seen
At Pearl Studios in Lafayette, Indiana, every boudoir shoot is about so much more than photos — it’s about transformation.
One of our recent clients came to us after a disappointing first boudoir session elsewhere. (Which honestly just breaks my heart. Boudoir should be the most beautiful, intimate, and empowering experience.) She said the lighting was unflattering, the images didn’t reflect her beauty, and the connection was missing.
But this time?
“Vanessa uses a lot of natural light and knows what to focus on to capture your natural beauty. I will only book with Vanessa moving forward.”
She and her husband chose to do a couples boudoir session, hoping for images that felt intimate, not staged. What they got was so much more: a relaxed, empowering session full of laughter, encouragement, and real connection.
“It’s just so relaxed. Vanessa tells you everything you need to do. No pressure… just be yourself.”
With full hair and makeup, gentle guidance throughout the session, and music playing in the background, she was able to relax and enjoy the moment.
“It’s a different view of myself that I don’t see from my perspective. I really love seeing my husband’s reaction to the photos. It really boosts self confidence.”
She left feeling empowered, radiant, and deeply grateful.
“People create memories in so many ways and traditions. But spending money on photography is something I never regret. When I’m 90, I’m going to look back and say… I was one hot momma!”
