There’s boudoir and then there is the Beausoleil experience
The Southeast’s Premier Boudoir Studio
South Louisiana based boudoir photography as unique as you are.
Beausoleil Boudoir redefines boundaries and re-imagines a genre to create a luxury experience designed around YOU. Our photography is centered around highlighting personal beauty in unique and exhilarating ways.
We're part editorial, part fashion, and 100% glam. We use world-famous New Orleans' storied architecture as a backdrop coupled with a select team of professional stylists to create an unforgettable experience that you will treasure for the rest of your life.
The experience is all about YOU.
You’ll feel your MOST AMAZING during your boudoir experience starting with professional hair & makeup with our award-winning team, we’ll help you narrow down your wardrobe and accessories, guide you through poses, and demo for you the perfect booty pop.
After your session, you’ll get to view your images SAME DAY.

Before your Shoot.
As soon as your session is confirmed, Tina will send you our Welcome Guide – it includes tips on how to prepare for your session, where to shop, and lots more.
We recommend that you do a little “homework.” Start a board on Pinterest with photos of the styles you like, makeup and hair looks and a few poses that inspire you. (Make your board private if your session is a secret! You can share your board with me by inviting me to view it before or on the day of your session.)
Before your session, we will have our phone consultation to go over any questions you may have and so that we can make sure to have everything ready for you!
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
Along with your welcome guide, you'll get our questionnaire, this will help us tailor your session to you! You'll want to complete the client information form pre-session because it helps me get to know a lot more about you; your session vision, your favorite body parts, and those you might be a little worried about.
We also get to know each other even better during the time it takes to do your makeup and hair. When you come in, we’ll welcome you with your drink of choice, some music, and a chance to relax and take a break from your busy life.
We'll talk about everything during that time, like what you’ve brought to wear, how to style it and what order to photograph your outfits in.
HAIR & MAKEUP
When it comes to hair and makeup, we work with the best. Our boudoir coordinator, Tina, has been in the beauty industry working with some of the top artists for over 10 years and she brings her eye for beauty to our team.
This is such an intimate investment in yourself so you should look and feel your most beautiful, professional hair and make-up is included in every session and a relaxing way to pamper yourself before the shoot.
During your Shoot.
Are you nervous? Most clients are nervous when they arrive! This is something, fun, exciting, and adventurous! Clients tell us all the time that they DON’T KNOW HOW TO POSE! (That’s by far the most common thing we hear!)
But don’t worry – we will guide you through each pose and we are here to make you comfortable and feel beautiful! Here is how we help you to feel most comfortable during your shoot :
Posing
We will have certain poses in mind for your wardrobe and body type and we like to try new poses with each client. We're here to help you pose and can even demo what the pose should look like (which is really great when David poses for you!). We’ll also refer to your inspiration photos if you bring them or to Pinterest.
Don’t worry about posing or feeling “funny” – it becomes comfortable for most of my clients within five minutes of getting started!
WARDROBE
You know what you like and you know what looks good and makes you feel sexy, which is why I ask you to bring a wide variety of wardrobe choices. We tell everyone to bring their favorite lingerie, and at least one solid bra & panty set, but really, the sky is the limit. And don't limit yourself to just lingerie.
This is a time to have fun and try something you've always wanted to wear. Favorite little dress, coziest sweater, superhero underwear, lace corset, latex jumpsuit, Mardi Gras headdress... I could keep going, but you get the idea. I do suggest you bring more than you think you will need or want, and during our consultations, we can discuss wardrobe in detail.
Nothing to wear?
We have an amazing collection of lingerie, accessories, shoes, and jewelry for clients to use for their shoot in our boudoir closet.
After your Shoot.
You'll be starving! We know hardly anyone eats before a session. So after your session, you'll have a chance to grab a bite at one of the many awesome restaurants around our studio before heading back up to see your images! That's right, you get to see how good you look that day. We will take our time to go through each image with you and decide on which ones you want to create your books or canvases.
Image Selection
After you grab a bite to eat we will have your images ready to preview - that's right, you'll get to see your images that day! We will go through each image with you to decide which you love the most and trust me this is the hardest part, as most of our clients love EVERY IMAGE! Once we go through the images you'll choose what products you want to purchase and how you want to pay - once this is complete we'll start on your gorgeous album, canvas, or USB drive.
RETOUCHING
Our retouching style is very natural and subtle. Our goal is to achieve a great image of you in-camera with lighting and posing but sometimes even professional models need a little help. With retouching we remove the distractions, it can be things like flyaway hairs, environmental eyesores (like wall outlets or marks on furniture and bedding), and of course, skin imperfections. If it's something that is temporary, like a blemish or bruise, we will remove it but if it something that is a part of you, we want you to look like the best version of yourself, not someone else.
After your session, we'll meet up in our studio to review your images and select your products. Every image you select to purchase is tastefully retouched for the very best results.

Who are we?
Beausoleil Boudoir is sensuality manifested into images that you can share with a lover, the world, or keep to yourself.
New Orleans is so full of character and so much talent. When the Beausoleil Boudoir was created we wanted to give clients the opportunity to choose the style of boudoir that they like the most.
A different style, a different mood, and a different look, and just like every woman a different beauty.
Do you love light, bright, playful boudoir or are you more of a dark, sultry, moody boudoir lover? With so many styles of sexy, we wanted to collaborate with some of the most talented artists in one of the most diverse and memorable cities imaginable.
Destination Boudoir
Need a vacation? We all do and what’s better than feeling your sexiest? We offer destination boudoir sessions both nationally and internationally.
Our team will travel where ever makes you feel sexy - weather it's your home, a swanky hotel room, or the great outdoors.
The world is your bedroom.

Boudoir Team
Our team of professionals will be there with you every step of the way.
Tina | Manager, Creative Director & Photographer
Boudoir has always been a passion of mine as a makeup artist. I have had the chance to work with many talented photographers over the years and have truly fallen in love with the whole boudoir experience.
About a year ago, after searching for talented photographers to collaborate with, I discovered the style of boudoir I was searching for wasn't available for clients in New Orleans. I wanted to be a part of the experience, to help clients from before the shoot with wardrobe choices to during the shoot with styling and posing tips. I want to be an integral part of something that I feel so passionate about.
David | Photographer & Editor
I never considered working in the boudoir industry on account of my extreme bashfulness, but Tina asked me to try it anyway. As luck would have it I turned out to be pretty good at it.
My vast experience and studies in other forms of portraiture taught me how to pose flatteringly, how to adapt to any shoot, and how to use lighting in the most creative and moody ways possible. I was able to take a look I had sculpted for Fashion, Beauty, and Musicians and apply it in a way that I found to be sensual and sexy. Once I realized the kind of looks I had created I never looked back.
Max | Photographer & Editor
I opened my first boudoir studio in 2010 (Breathless Boudoir in Baton Rouge). A fully curated and styled session, with images that matched the personality and desire of the women we photographed. It was a game-changing model for how to run a boudoir business as boudoir regained popularity across the country.
I developed a signature style with my work and learned how to coach and bring out the best, most beautiful, and sensuous in those I've photographed. Shooting everything from glamourous and beautiful, through tastefully erotic, depending on the client’s desires, it's my goal to show YOU what's within yourself. To bring out that sexy, edgy part of you that demands to be seen.
After moving back to New Orleans, I reached out to Tina and here we are! It's an honor to be working with her and to become a part of the Beausoleil team!!!

Don’t just take it from us, here are real testimonials from our past boudoir clients!
“No experience NECESSARY”
I had no experience & I’m very shy in front of a camera. Even more so in lingerie! They made me feel very comfortable and confident seconds into the session.”
“I can’t wait to show him”
I'm crying. I forgot how great these are. I cant wait to show him.
Thank you so much
“My husband was stunned!”
Tina is so easy to work with. The pics are amazing. My now husband was stunned to receive the book as a wedding/early birthday present.
So much fun! Highly recommend this experience!!!!!”
“I am extremely satisfied with my entire process, from beginning to end.”
“… Just communicate your needs and concerns. I just received my final boudoir box and I AM SCREAMING! The quality is 100% worth it. I don’t think I’ve ever had an investment project go as smoothly as this one. Two thumbs up from me, oh and they are very professional and discrete if that is what your heart desires.”
“This is amazing!! ”
Everything you guys have shown me is just perfect. Thank y’all so much! I just wanted to thank you all again! My husband absolutely loved the album and all of the pictures!!!
