Some sessions just click, and Lexi's was one of them. From the minute she walked into Pearl Studios, we were laughing, and that easy energy shows up in every single frame. Lexi is stunning, and she owned every curve. I honestly didn't want this boudoir shoot to end. Sessions like hers are exactly why I love photographing women across Lafayette and Indianapolis.
If you've been scrolling boudoir galleries and wondering whether you could ever feel this confident in front of a camera, Lexi's session is your answer. She'll tell you herself that she was a little nervous at first. Within a few minutes the nerves were gone, the music was up, and she was having a blast.
Celebrating every curve
Lexi's session is a reminder that boudoir isn't about fitting a mold. It's about seeing yourself the way the people who love you already do. We used soft window light and a few simple poses that flatter curves, then let her personality lead the way. The result is a gallery that looks like Lexi at her most radiant: confident, playful and absolutely gorgeous.
What we shot
Look 1: White Dress that was adorable on her!
Look 2: Fure jacket + Fishnets - HOLY COW that was amazing
Look 3: Black Mesh Body Suit - that was her favorite
Look 4: We ended with sheets and water shots! Absolutely incredible
Lexi, thank you for trusting me with your session. You were a dream to photograph, and I hope these images remind you how incredible you are every time you look at them.
Thinking about booking your own boudoir shoot? Below are the questions I hear most often, answered honestly so you know exactly what to expect.
Boudoir Photography FAQ: What to Know Before You Book
What is a boudoir photoshoot?
A boudoir photoshoot is an intimate, empowering portrait session that celebrates you, your body and your confidence. Images range from fully clothed and cozy to lingerie or implied nude. You choose what you're comfortable with, and nothing happens that you haven't agreed to.
Is boudoir photography for every body type?
Yes, absolutely. Lexi's session is proof that curvy bodies look incredible in boudoir. I photograph every size, shape, age and stage of life. My job is to pose and light you so you look and feel your best, whatever your size.
I've never modeled before. Will I know how to pose?
You don't need any experience. I guide you through every pose, from where to put your hands to how to tilt your chin. Most clients, Lexi included, feel awkward for about the first ten minutes and then start having fun.
What should I wear to a boudoir shoot?
Bring 3 to 5 outfits you feel amazing in. Popular choices include:
A bodysuit or lingerie set in a color you love
An oversized sweater or a partner's button-down shirt
A sheer robe or wrap
Something meaningful, like a jersey or wedding veil
Heels or bare feet, whichever feels more like you
Not sure what flatters your figure? Send me photos before your session and I'll help you choose. [Mention a client closet here if you offer one.]
How do I prepare for my session?
Get a good night's sleep, drink plenty of water and wear loose clothing to the studio so you don't have marks on your skin. Avoid new skincare or spray tans in the 48 hours before. Most importantly, come ready to have fun.
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes! I love my female team I work with. Professional hair and makeup helps your look last through outfit changes and photograph beautifully under studio light. It's also a relaxing way to start your session.
How much does a boudoir photoshoot cost?
Sessions at Pearl Studios start at $399, and that includes styling consult, hair and makeup, 2-hour session, in-person reveal. Image collections and albums are priced separately, starting at $1000 with payment plan options available. You will LOVE the collections so much.
Will my photos stay private?
Your privacy is my priority. Your gallery is delivered through a private, password-protected link. I never share images publicly without your written permission, and you can choose to stay completely private. Lexi chose to share her session to help others feel confident about booking.
How long is a boudoir session?
Most sessions last 2 hours, plus about 1 hour for hair and makeup. That gives us time for several outfit changes without ever feeling rushed.
Can I bring a friend?
I recommend not bringing a friend honestly. I want this to be about you - and not feeling like someone is watching you. I don’t want you to feel like you have to “preform” for this. But if they want to come for hair and makeup - that is totally fine!
How soon will I get my photos?
You'll see your images at your personal reveal parwty about 1-2 after your session. Albums and prints usually arrive 4 to 6 weeks after you place your order.
When is the best time to book?
Book 6 to 8 weeks ahead, especially if your photos are a gift for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or a wedding. Those dates fill up fast.
Where is Pearl Studios located?
Pearl Studios serves boudoir clients in Lafayette, Indiana and Indianapolis, Indiana. Clients also travel to us from West Lafayette, Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville and across central Indiana.
