Do I have to be confident to do a boudoir session?

No. Most women arrive nervous, and several arrive shaking. Every pose is demonstrated and guided, so there is nothing you need to know in advance. The confidence is what you leave with, not what you bring.

Am I too big, too old, or not photogenic enough for boudoir?

No. We have photographed more than 1,500 women, sizes XS through 5X and ages 18 to 70-plus. Posing and lighting do most of the work, and we choose both for your body specifically.

Will anyone see my boudoir photos?

Only if you say so in writing. Nothing is posted, shared, or shown without a signed release, and declining costs you nothing.

How much does a boudoir session cost in Utah?

The session fee is $399 for women's, maternity and bridal, or $449 for couples, and it covers your studio time and professional hair and makeup. Images are chosen afterward — ten digital images start at $800, and collections begin at $1,895. Payment plans are available through Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay, PayPal Credit and in-house options.

Do I have to wear lingerie for boudoir?

Not at all. Sweaters, jeans, button-down shirts, robes, bodysuits and fully-covered looks are all common. Our studio closet runs XS through 5X, so you can borrow rather than buy.

Is it worth driving to Salt Lake City from out of state for boudoir?

Women come to us regularly from Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Arizona. We are at 629 S State Street in downtown Salt Lake City, about fifteen minutes from the airport, with hotels and dining within walking distance.

Sand Dunes Boudoir

Studio Updates

Sep 30

Written By Shanna Demke

Rolling golden dunes, warm raking light, and the long shadows you only get in the last hour before sunset — sand dunes boudoir is one of the most cinematic outdoor sessions we shoot, and one more reason women travel to Utah.

Short answer: sand dunes boudoir is an outdoor, golden-hour session shot on the dunes at Little Sahara, Utah — part of our small-group Booty Bus adventure day. Warm light, warm wind, bare feet, and images that look like an editorial. Dune dates are seasonal and limited.

Why the dunes work so beautifully

At golden hour the low sun rakes across the sand and turns everything warm and dimensional. The light does the heavy lifting — the result feels editorial, like a fashion campaign, except it’s you. It’s a completely different energy from the studio: open sky, warm wind, and nowhere to be but in the moment.

What to wear

Earth tones, warm neutrals and flowing fabric move beautifully in the wind, and a bold contrast — crisp white or deep red — stands out against the sand. Bare feet and wind-swept movement look incredible out here. Bring what makes you feel free rather than fussy.

A true adventure

This is part of our Booty Bus experience — a guided, small-group day out to the dunes. Women drive in from Idaho Falls and Jackson Hole for it, and no experience is needed; we direct every frame, exactly like we do in the studio.

Plan ahead

Like all our outdoor sessions, dune dates are seasonal and limited by the light and the weather window — so book early to catch it. See the sand dunes gallery for what golden hour on the dunes actually looks like, and if it’s your first time in front of the camera, start here.
