Best Boudoir Photographer in Louisiana
Boudoir photos aren’t just about the bed. A whole heck of a lot more goes into it around here! Sure, you don’t NEED all the fluff to have pretty photos, but it sure is a lot more fun with all of the textures added in.
I’ve gotten to take photos of heather a few different times, and every single session has been different. I absolutely love working with her, it might have been more than three sessions by now. lol. She’s learned my cues, and I really don’t even have to tell her to move during a pose anymore, she gives me so much to work with b/c she knows what I’m going to say next. :)
reading that you’re probably like, “omg, i won’t know what to do! She’s not gonna like taking photos me!” That couldn’t be further from the truth! I am so hands on girl. I get down and show you exactly how to pose, and then once you get into the pose yourself I correct any small things and we go from there. By the third pose you are pointing your toes without me telling you to! You will be a pro, just like heather, by the end of your session too!
I think every single client, that books for the first time, tells me how they don’t have the confidence to do this. when i tell you every one has some sort of insecurity, they do! do not think anyone you see on my website didn’t come into the studio nervous as hell! but it’s so much fun! You have to do a boudoir session with me, at least once! It’s a total blast!!!

Hailey has been my client for a few years! We normally do boudoir when she comes to see me, but this time she was getting married and i just had to take her bridals. She’s coming back to see me soon, with her new hubby and i can absOLUTELY not wait! he’s so nervous too, lol. it’s going to be a blast.
hailey got her hair and makeup done in studio, by my artist who is also named hailey. it’s confusing, i know. lol. I feel like i have so many clients named hailey, and caroline has been a name I have a lot lately too. That has no corelation to each other lololol.
We took photos in the studio and then walked a couple of blocks around the studio too. makeup hailey went with us and helped fluff the dress, we had a client after her that day too and hailey was a ton of help with the dress. she doesn’t normally get to hang out with us as we shoot, so it was a totaly treat for her.
I hope you love Hailey’s Bridal PORTRAITS; they are so freakin gorgeous.
A lot of perspective clients are so nervous about the day of, and not even just about being nakey in front of someone new. I try to make the entire day silly, all about the client and super simple to follow. The last thing I want is for my client to ask me what’s happening next. So, we go over what to expect on the phone and in their day before e-mail too. Keep reading to find out how my sessions flow.
Sessions are held on weekdays, typically Tuesday through Thursday. When you arrive at the studio, I meet you downstairs and walk you up. My on staff stylist are waiting on you upon arrival and we begin hair and makeup. It will take the stylist about an hour to complete your look and during that time I am near by so that we can get to know each other better and decide on outfits for your session. I also have snacks, drinks and bubbly out for you to enjoy during this time.
Petite sessions allow for three outfits and artistic nudes. Now, you might have just gone “OHmygawwwwd. I could never do nudes!”. You’re wrong, I promise! Just look below. :) Full sessions can be up to 10 outfits, sheets and artistic nudes. A petite session typically has at least 30 final images and a full session can have 70 or more.
After makeup and outfit selections are done, we get right to shooting. We shoot for about 45 minutes with a petite session and up to two hours for a full. Depending on how things go, we may not need that much time for either session.
After we are done taking your boudoir photos, I give you time to change back into your street clothes and I get all of your images pulled up and saved. I make the first pass on my own, but you’re able to watch me. I get rid of anything out of focus, repeats, crazy faces (we giggle a lot) and anything I would think unusable in a final gallery.
Then you get to take control. You get to view every single image and choose which ones are your favorite. Don’t worry, I help you the whole time. I have spent years learning how to use light + shadows, how to get the most out of my camera, and how to get the photos I take as close to the final product as possible.
A lot of my clients already know that they want a 10x10 album, the digitals and some wall art and most of the time they pre-pay for those items before their session. When they do that they get free stuff too! Like, a second hair and makeup look, free product, they get to wear my wings or even do a shower set (there’s more!). So we get to work getting our image numbers right for what they are wanting. Sometimes clients choose to upgrade, because there are SO MANY good images!
After the session digital images and prints take about 2 weeks to arrive and albums take about three. I do my best to have a quick turnaround, because who wants to wait!

Ashley has quickly become more than a client, I can easily call her friend. She is one of those people that you immediately feel like you’ve known your entire life. I’m so glad that she picked me as her boudoir photographer, I’m sad that she is moving back to be close to her family this summer.. but I’m glad I got to meet her first, and to make a life long friend.
What made you choose Blush Studio by Leslie for your boudoir session?
I’d been wanting to do a boudoir shoot for so long, and when I saw the opportunity and the amazing work that Leslie does I had to jump at the chance!
What were you nervous about going into your session?
About my body! After rashes, biopsies, scars, babies, etc- my body isn’t what it was when I was 18 and I was nervous for the things I dislike about it to be portrayed. I’m so glad I was wrong!
What was your favorite part of your session experience?
Just being in front of the camera and the ease of the whole shoot was the best part of the entire experience!
How do you feel now that you have completed your session and received your images?
I LOVE IT. I can’t wait to do it again!
Would you recommend Leslie to other ladies looking to book a boudoir session? Why?
Absolutely! It’s such a chill, fun, girlfriend like experience and you don’t even realize you’re naked after a certain point. It’s two friends hanging out and having fun and getting awesome pictures that boosts your self-esteem like no other!
