What is boudoir photography?
Boudoir sessions are about more than just the photos, they are a powerful experience designed to help you see yourself in a new light. No matter your age, body type, or background, we believe all women deserve to feel comfortable in their own skin. Our hope is that a boudoir session with us will remind you that you ARE beautiful and you ARE deserving of some pampering – and just maybe you will fall in love with yourself a little more each time you look at your photos!
Top five reasons women trust Blush for their Boudoir Photography Experience
- We have over sixteen years of experience specifically in boudoir photography posing – we’ve worked with women of all ages and body types.
- We make the process easy by providing professional hair & makeup services and same day viewing of your photos.
- We provide heirloom quality albums and wall art so you don’t have to worry about what you are going to do with your photos.
- We are an all-female team.
- Your privacy & comfort is our top priority, we never share your images without your permission.
“Listen up ladies! Have you just spent a large portion of your life doing for others while establishing a career? You probably have a sense that your ‘mojo’ is gone? Then run, don’t walk, to see Katie at Blush! You’ll walk out after the shoot with a new found realization that you are truly beautiful on the outside (just like you are on the inside). Katie is a master at making you feel at ease and is magical when it comes to seeing the beauty that will come through in the final photos – worth every penny!”

Before & After
From everyday babe to Blush Bombshell!
The number one misconception that we hear from women is that boudoir isn’t for “them”. They see the photos on our website with gorgeous women and they think they could never look like that. One thing they are correct about is that our clients are gorgeous! But they are every-day real women just like you! We photograph women of all ages, backgrounds, and body types. We promise you that everyone has their own insecurities, and we are our own worst critics. The goal of our photo sessions are to show you you are beautiful just as you are!
None of these women are professional models or came in already knowing how to pose. We will guide you through every step of the session and guide you into poses that are natural and flattering!
HOW IT WORKS
You bring your outfits to our Minneapolis studio and we do the rest!
Our sessions take approximately 5 hours and consist of the following three steps:
1. Professional Hair & Makeup Artistry
Relax & be pampered as one of our trusted artists prepares you for your photo session! Our artists can create a custom look for you based on your style & preference. We also provide lashes for the extra wow-factor on your eyes.
2. Boudoir Portrait Session
You get to have fun while we work our posing and lighting magic! We will guide you throughout the whole experience telling you exactly how to pose and look. No need to practice before you come!
3. Same Day Image Reveal & Ordering
After your photo session we will break for about an hour while we prepare your images. Then, you will return to the studio to view your images and select your favorites for your album & other heirloom products. We offer 3 month payment plans if needed. Your products will be ready approximately 2 weeks after your collection is paid in full.
“The experience was better than I could have ever imagined it would be. When leaving the studio that day I couldn’t help but realize how much of a bad-ass boss I felt like and how powerful I felt! I can’t wait to do it again.”
