the ldp Boudoir
Experience
 
 
Boudoir is about so much more than sexy photographs—it’s about seeing yourself through a different lens.
Our boudoir sessions are an invitation to slow down, be pampered, and celebrate yourself without apology. Whether you’re marking a milestone, reclaiming your confidence, or simply wanting to remember this chapter of your life, we’ll guide you through an experience that feels uplifting, empowering, and completely personalized.
There is no “perfect” body, and there is no “perfect” time. You don’t need to lose weight, wait for a special occasion, or become someone different before stepping in front of the camera. We celebrate women of every age, shape, size, and stage of life, creating timeless portraits that honor who you are right now. Because you are already worthy of being seen and celebrated!

FAQ
When should I schedule my Boudoir session?
We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred session date.
We also recommend scheduling your boudoir session at least 6 weeks before you’d like to have your finished images. Many clients choose to create a custom album or order prints as a gift for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or other special occasion, so allowing plenty of time ensures everything is beautifully completed and ready when you need it.
We also recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred session date.
Is hair & makeup included?
Yes! Professional hair & makeup is included with every studio boudoir session, ensuring you feel fully pampered and camera-ready for an elevated experience from start to finish.
Our artists are experienced working with clients of all ages, skin tones, and hair textures.
Is wardrobe included?
Yes! Every boudoir session includes access to our Couture Lingerie Collection, featuring beautifully curated pieces designed to flatter a wide range of body types, ages, and personal styles. Our extended collection also offers elegant, timeless wardrobe options to help you look and feel confident while creating a cohesive, luxurious look for your session.
How long is the Boudoir session?
There are no strict time limits—our sessions are designed around you, not the clock.
We begin with 2 hours of professional hair & makeup giving you time to relax, unwind, and feel completely camera-ready before your session begins. From there, we’ll move through each wardrobe change at a comfortable pace, allowing plenty of time for posing, styling, and capturing a beautiful variety of images.
We never rush the process. Our priority is creating an experience where you feel confident, comfortable, and fully present every step of the way.
Can I include my partner?
Yes! We love including partners in our boudoir sessions. Whether you're creating intimate portraits together or adding a few romantic images to your collection, we're happy to incorporate your partner into the experience. This session is all about celebrating your confidence, your connection, and your unique love story.
What should I bring?
We provide almost everything you'll need for your boudoir session, including access to our Couture Lingerie Collection and our curated studio wardrobe.
We recommend bringing any jewelry, accessories, or personal items you'd like to incorporate into your portraits. We do not provide shoes, so please bring photo-friendly footwear that complements your look. Since it's a boudoir session, don't be afraid to have fun with it—stilettos, strappy heels, knee-high boots, patent leather, sparkles...the more fabulous, the better!
We also love when clients incorporate pieces that reflect their personal style. Whether it's a statement piece you've been saving for the perfect occasion, a favorite leather jacket, a designer accessory, an oversized sweater, or something that simply makes you feel confident and beautiful, these personal touches often become some of the most memorable images from your session.
Can I get photos in time for a special occasion?
Yes! As long as you let us know at the time of booking, we’re happy to accommodate your request and make the necessary arrangements for your boudoir session.
Can you recreate my inspo photo?
Yes! We love when clients bring us inspiration photos! Whether it’s wardrobe, set design, posing, or a magical, dreamlike backdrop, we take those ideas and thoughtfully reimagine them into something unique and tailored specifically to you.
Where is your studio located?
Our studio is located in the penthouse suite of one of the historic buildings in Downtown Los Angeles’ Theater District, offering a beautifully unique and iconic space for your boudoir session. We can include a variety of settings including indoor studio looks, skyline portraits, and local gardens — each offering its own unique backdrop, from sophisticated editorial styling to soft, natural outdoor beauty.
Do you offer Boudoir Beach Sessions?
Absolutely! While our luxury studio offers complete privacy and beautifully designed sets, some clients are drawn to the natural beauty of Southern California’s coastline. A boudoir beach session creates a soft, romantic, and effortlessly elegant feel, with flowing fabrics, golden sunsets, and breathtaking ocean views.
Because beaches are public spaces, complete privacy can’t always be guaranteed. We carefully select locations and times of day that are typically quieter, and our team works thoughtfully to create a comfortable, respectful experience while capturing beautiful, artistic images.
Whether you envision something ethereal and feminine or bold and editorial, we’ll help you choose the perfect location and create an experience that feels both comfortable and empowering.
Do you shoot outside?
Yes! A variety of settings are included in your session, including outdoor garden looks. We shoot at a selection of local gardens throughout the year, choosing locations based on the season and wherever the florals are in peak bloom for the most stunning natural backdrop.
Do you offer In-Home Boudoir sessions?
Yes! We are more than happy to shoot in the comfort of your home. We’ll bring our extensive collection of couture wardrobe, vintage props, and backdrops directly to you, creating a fully styled, elevated boudoir experience right in your own space.
Can I bring someone to be my cheerleader?
Yes, of course! We will have our assistant there to support you in whatever way is needed throughout your boudoir session. However, if you feel it would make you more comfortable, you're more than welcome to bring a friend, sister, partner, or anyone who will cheer you on, hype you up, and make the experience even more fun. We love having supportive people in the studio and are happy to include them in your day.
Can you accommodate modest, cultural, or religious preferences?
Absolutely. We proudly photograph women from a wide variety of cultural, religious, and personal backgrounds, and we believe every client deserves to feel comfortable, respected, and authentically represented in their boudoir portraits.
Whether you prefer more modest wardrobe styling, wear a hijab or other religious garments, have specific cultural traditions you’d like to incorporate, or simply have personal preferences regarding clothing and posing, our team will work closely with you to create an experience tailored to your needs.
Our goal is never to fit you into a predetermined style, but to create beautiful, meaningful portraits that reflect who you are.
Can I still do a Boudoir session if I have limited mobility?
Yes! We've got you, girl! Your comfort, safety, and confidence are always our top priorities. We’re experienced in accommodating limited mobility, disabilities, injuries, and a wide range of individual needs. Every pose and setup can be thoughtfully adapted so you feel comfortable, supported, and sexy throughout your boudoir session.
Whether you’re sitting, reclining, or in supported positions that reduce strain, we can still create beautiful, elevated imagery that feels natural and effortless—no matter your circumstances.
I’m feeling self-conscious about extra weight and stretch marks — will that affect how I look in photos?
No — you don’t need to be concerned at all! We use strategic posing, lighting, and angles throughout the boudoir session to highlight you in the most flattering way while still keeping everything natural and authentic. In editing, we make subtle refinements (like smoothing & slimming) without changing how you look or removing what makes you you.
Being concerned about double chins, arms, thighs, skin issues and stretch marks is very normal. The goal isn’t to “hide” your body — it’s to show you as your most glamorous, confident self.
What if I don't feel comfortable in front of camera?
Most of our clients don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera at first, and very few have any modeling experience. From the moment your boudoir session begins, we guide you through everything: posing, expression, posture, and movement in a way that feels natural and relaxed, not stiff or forced. We’ll show you exactly what to do, adjust you as needed, and direct you the entire time so you never have to wonder what to do with your hands or how to pose.
Our sessions are designed to feel easy and supportive, and we take our time so you can warm up, build confidence, and actually enjoy the experience. By the end, most clients are surprised at how comfortable they feel — and how much they love the process as much as the final images!
Do I need to pay a deposit to reserve my date?
A non-refundable $125 deposit is required to secure your boudoir session date and is applied toward your session fee. Because we book a limited number of sessions each month and often reserve dates well in advance, this deposit allows us to hold dedicated time specifically for you.
We understand that life happens and strive to be as flexible as possible. Whenever availability allows, we are happy to accommodate reasonable reschedule requests.
What's included in the session fee?
Your boudoir session fee reserves your date and includes your personalized planning consultation, professional hair & makeup, access to our wardrobe collections, use of studio props and accessories, guided posing, and everything on the day of your portrait session experience.
While in studio you will have a photographer, an assistant, and your own private dressing room.
Are digital images included in the session fee?
Your boudoir session fee covers everything on the day of your shoot. Photo Packages are purchased separately after your session, once you’ve viewed and selected your favorite images.
How much do photo packages cost?
Photo Packages are purchased separately and begin at $1,295. All Photo Packages include the digital files of your selected images. Please contact us directly for our full price menu.
