Why is boudoir so expensive?
This is a question that is asked by many. Boudoir photography is a luxury service and with that, there comes a luxury price.
It all comes down to what you value or see boudoir photography as. Each individual has a different feel towards it, but for some, it has a stronger meaning to them. Every woman has a different reason as to why they’d book a boudoir session.
These are a few reasons to book a boudoir experience:
- A boudoir album as a gift to your significant other for their birthday or an anniversary
- Celebrating a milestone such as turning 30, 40, 50 or more
- Wanting to love and accept your body after having children
- Find your femininity again
- Recently left a toxic relationship and want to start over fresh with new confidence
- Celebrating a weight loss journey and documenting your success
- Learning to embrace something new and step out of your comfort zone
- Wanting to accept your body after a major surgery such as a mastectomy or gastric bypass
- Just a reason to celebrate YOU! Because you deserve it!
Here, you’ll find information on why Celebrating a milestone with a Boudoir Session is so important not only for your own mental health, but for closure and acceptance.
Boudoir photography sessions are a whole day experience. A full day of being pampered, getting your makeup done professionally and being able to dress up in beautiful lingerie that you otherwise would never normally wear or purchase yourself. It is the ultimate confidence building, hyped up experience that will have long lasting effects. It isn’t just to dress up and feel like a model for the day, it’s a deep self-love experience that will continue on with your body acceptance journey. It is an empowering experience that will have you leaving feeling like a brand new person who has fully re-charged her battery. And for us women who seriously do it all, we need to recharge every once in awhile. Your partner will notice a difference, your friends, and even your children will notice a difference with that added pep in your step. It is hard to add a price tag to an experience like a boudoir session because it is truly price-less.
If you are going to spend the money expecting long lasting, powerful results, then you need to find the right photographer for you. Think of going to a spa, or even getting your hair done. You do your research, look up the company and see their work and what they provide. You are willing to spend extra money if you know it will be a definite positive outcome with the experience you are looking for. With multiple price tag options from different companies, you have the freedom to pick and choose where you’d like to go. The phrase, “you get what you pay for” is true and should be taken into consideration. Do your research, ask around, and make sure you are getting the result you are looking for. With boudoir photography, the wrong experience can completely change the expected outcome. A complete boudoir session should have you feeling like a Queen and leaving with the self confidence you deserve.
The right photographer should prepare you for the session so you begin with ease and comfortability. With their experience, they should be able to direct you throughout the session with all different posing and lighting techniques that will show off your best features to show you your natural beauty and to love the skin you’re in! This is why I feel it is so important to have a pre-consultation phone call beforehand. To better get to know a person better, learn their comfort zone, and understand the reasoning as to why they’d like to book a boudoir session. With that information, it will help your photographer formulate a plan with posing and intentions for the session to be catered to what your needs are.
Boudoir photographers know that the price might be a little much for someone to come up with all at one time so many offer pre-payment plans to fit your budget up until the scheduled shoot day. This helps relieve some financial stress, along with helping to keep the session more of a surprise if it’s for their partner. Pre-payment plans can be done up to 6 months prior which helps spread out the cost a bit more.

Don’t not book the session of your dreams due to price. I promise you, it will be a great investment and what you walk away with is much more valuable. The amount of confidence and feeling of self-worth is truly worth every penny!
Remember, you are beautiful inside and out! Don’t ever let anyone ever dim your sparkle!
