Welcome to the NEW Boudoir - we are as unique as the city we call home. We want you to feel as fabulous as you are from the moment you book your session. We love working with amazing and dynamic clients who want to look and feel incredible.
When you arrive to our AMAZING loft studio you'll be greeted by Tina & David - your photography team. Once in and settled with a glass of bubbly you'll be introduced to our beauty team.
Our team of hair and makeup artists are here to create your version of sexy. They are here to bring out the beauty of you! While you are in hair and makeup David & I will check out the wadrobe selections you have brought, adjust our studio space to most flatter you, test our lighting and chat with you about your style.
So who are we?
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.
Tina | Owner, Photographer,
Client Relations
Beausoleil Boudoir was created in 2016 after I worked with a boudoir company for over 6 years and they moved away. I LOVE boudoir - it's my passion project and my creative outlet. How I didn't find my way to boudoir sooner - I'm not quite sure. Having a background in fine art with a focus on the female form and photography you would have thought I'd have gotten here sooner.
As of 2018 I not only work behind the scenes creating albums and working directly with our clients - I am also one of your lead photographers.
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 clients 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!!!
Hi, Tina here — ready to give you a little peek behind the scenes of your Beausoleil Boudoir Experience.

Nothing to wear?
no problem.
“I Don’t Have Anything to Wear!”
One of the most common things we hear from clients is: “I don’t have anything to wear!” — and guess what? We totally get it.
Between our expert advice, curated Pinterest inspiration boards, and our lingerie closet, we’ve got you covered!
Seriously — whenever you need tips or wardrobe guidance, just call or email us. We’re here to help you feel confident and fabulous in what you wear.
If you have lots of outfit ideas but aren’t sure what to bring, we always recommend bringing more than you think you’ll need. On the day of your shoot, I’ll personally help you narrow down your selections based on your questionnaire responses and how each piece makes you feel during the session.
Pro tip: create a Pinterest board of your favorite lingerie and outfit ideas and share it with us — it helps us tailor your look perfectly.
Bright and bold
Bold color choices paired with the perfect lip color make quite the statement. If you have color that you LOVE why not incorporate it into your lingerie and accessories for a pop of fun color?
More exotic pieces
If you have a piece that you feel would photograph well but your just not sure how to wear it - bring it! Fun costumes, skirts, feathered wraps are just a few of the things we have photographed - have something interesting? Bring it!
Keep it classic
The classics NEVER go out of style. Black Pra & Panty sets are always a standard that photograph beautifully. Even with all of the options out there our clients usually bring at least one classic set they love so make sure you don't forget the classics!

We are EXPERTS at Posing.
We’ve Posed Hundreds of Women — And We’ve Got You
Our team has the training and experience to guide you through posing and lighting that flatters your unique shape and beauty. Throughout your session, we’ll coach you step-by-step, making small adjustments that create flattering lines and angles — no guesswork needed.
Not only have we posed hundreds of women of every shape and size, but I’ve also been on the other side of the camera at every weight and shape over the past six years. Having been photographed many times, especially in boudoir, I truly understand how a pose can feel awkward but look amazing.
When I say, “I know how you feel — it may feel strange, but it looks fantastic!” — I really mean it. I’ll even get down on the floor to demonstrate poses for you!
(For an extra laugh — David demos poses too! Some of our best client photos capture those moments when David’s showing off the moves and I’m behind the camera cracking up.)
Got a Pinterest board for inspiration? We love seeing your favorite poses. While we don’t copy other artists, your board helps us understand the styles and moods you’re drawn to, so we can tailor your session perfectly.
Retouching: Enhancing Your Natural Beauty
Our retouching style is subtle and natural. We believe the best images come from great lighting and posing — but sometimes even professional models need a little help.
With retouching, we remove distractions like flyaway hairs, background clutter, or temporary blemishes such as bruises or spots. Our goal is to present the best version of you, not someone else.
We don’t do extensive body reshaping — we want your images to feel authentic and true to who you are.
After your session, we’ll meet at the studio to review your images and select your favorites. Every photo you choose will be tastefully retouched for flawless, yet natural results.

FAQ's
IS BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ME?
Feeling nervous is completely normal! The fun part of the Beausoleil Boudoir experience is that it really is for the everyday woman! We believe confidence is the number one key to getting what you want out of life. A woman plus confidence, watch out! Whether your shoot is for that special someone or simply for your eyes only; you will never regret the end result! We have so much fun with you during the day of the shoot and once you see your amazing pictures, you'll be so happy you did this!
IS MY PHOTOGRAPHER A WOMAN OR A MAN?
You have a choice with the Beausoleil Boudoir! Everyone has their own unique style, as do our photographers. We urge you to choose your photographer based on their style and photography type since Tina, David and Max have a knack for putting clients at ease and a talent for boudoir. During your session, Tina will be your photographer and you can choose to work with or without the boys, just let us know what your preference is.
WILL MY PHOTOS BE ON THE INTERNET?
Not unless you say it’s ok! Every client featured on this website and blog has given explicit permission to post her images. If you aren’t comfortable with any images being shared, we completely understand! Read our complete policy about client privacy here: Our Privacy Promise
I HAVE SOME IMPERFECTIONS. CAN YOU GET RID OF THEM?
In most cases, yes. Removal of small blemishes and skin softening is all part of the retouching process. Please note: We do not do extensive body reshaping as part of retouching. We want you to look as natural as possible. If there is something you feel self-conscious about, we can use poses and lighting to emphasize your best features.
WHAT IF I LOOK NOTHING LIKE THE GIRLS ON YOUR WEBSITE? I’M OLDER THAN, NOT AS THIN AS, MY SKIN DOESN'T LOOK FLAWLESS LIKE THE WOMEN ON YOUR WEBSITE, CAN I STILL BOOK A SESSION?
Waking up and rolling out of bed looking fabulous said no one ever! All of the girls on the website are everyday women just like you. With the use of hair, makeup, lighting, posing and sexy outfits; we've got you covered!
And remember not everyone is comfortable with their photos being online. We photograph many women over 50 and well into the plus sizes. What we promise is that we will create images to flatter YOU. We want to your personality to show.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POSE!?
We never expect you to pose yourself. We will be guiding you on poses to accentuate your best features. We will be instructing you on where to look, where to put your hands/feet; the whole thing! Tina has YEARS of boudoir experience both behind the scenes and in front of the camera - she will be at your session to help pose you and guide you through the process and make sure you look your best!
DO I BRING MY OWN LINGERIE, OR DO YOU PROVIDE THE OUTFITS?
You need to bring your own lingerie to the photo shoot. Select outfits that suit your personality and body shape, and complement your skin tone. Not sure where to start with that? We have friends in sexy places to help you - our wardrobe stylists can help with outfit ideas, or if you’d like to book a consultation to discuss wardrobe, send me an email!
WHAT ABOUT HAIR AND MAKEUP, DO I DO IT MYSELF?
Hair and makeup is included in every All Inclusive Package we offer. Our stylists have been hand-picked for their talents and professionalism. We want to provide an experience that makes you feel beautiful and pampered.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND TO MY SHOOT?
We love to keep the focus on you so we recommend that you set aside your boudoir time as "me time". If you feel more comfortable with a friend coming along, you are more than welcome to bring them. But, please limit guest to 1 per shoot and we will ask them to enjoy our lobby while we shoot. (There are plenty of bars, museums and entertainment around if your guest wants to check out our space before we shoot and needs something to do while we make you glamorous!)
WHERE DO THE SHOOTS TAKE PLACE?
In New Orleans at our studio, a luxury hotel/airbnb OR on location for a destination shoot! We have created the ultimate pampering boudoir location for our clients in our adorable New Orleans cottage. We are also available for travel to your hotel in New Orleans and surrounding cities, shoots are done (by appointment only) in luxe hotels, architecturally distinct historic buildings, beautifully restored Victorian mansions and other hand-selected locations. Location will be chosen based on consultation and confirmed and sent to you prior to your shoot. We do offer in-home sessions at private residences as well. Just let us know beforehand!
I’M READY TO BOOK A SHOOT, WHAT’S NEXT?
Once you let me know what date you’d like to shoot we will send you a booking proposal and contract. The contract must be signed and a non-refundable retainer is due to reserve your shoot day/time. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of your shoot. But, as always I also offer payment plans if you need a bit of flexibility in order to purchase the package you really want.
I’M NOT SURE WHAT Á LA CARTE ITEMS I WANT TO ORDER YET, CAN I DECIDE WHEN I SEE MY PHOTOS?
Absolutely! After the shoot we will have a personal viewing session to view your images and discuss product options where we will choose your best images together and pick the perfect product for them. Once you decide on what you’d like to order (additional albums, individual prints, canvases, paintings etc), 50% of the total is due to begin work on the design and the remaining balance is due when you pick up your order. We do not release product orders without full payment.
WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?
Due to the custom nature of photography, the session price and any products ordered are non-refundable. You have final say on the retouching and any custom album design and nothing goes to print without your approval.
