I’ll be honest, I actually hated the idea of these sessions. Not because they weren’t going to be beautiful, but because my Virgo rising shuddered at the thought of clean up. Sure, we could do these outside- but anyone who really knows me knows that I also hate being at the whims of the weather. So with a lot of taped down tarps I’m trying my best not to let the glitter fallout get to me. Honestly, I’m glad I did. I LOVE this mini session so much!
I think our shower mini session is probably one of my favorites to date! Something so sexy happens when you add a little bit of water!
As a glasses wearer myself I’m always excited when ladies rock the “badass babe in glasses” look. This beauty blew me out of the water with her confidence and sex appeal!

Nervous about your boudoir session? We’ve got you! When you book we send you all the best information on how to prepare for your photoshoot. We know that posing in your underwear, or less, can be intimidating. Here’s just a small snippet of the information we share with you!
This is the best time to finalize wardrobe. Go through your lingerie and try it on, decide if you want to purchase any fun new pieces, or decide if you want to borrow from our wardrobe.
“Let me stress that you do not need to come to your shoot with lingerie to have an amazing session. We have a boudoir wardrobe in our studio from sizes XXS to 5XL. We will find something in our closets that looks amazing on your body!”
All lingerie in our wardrobe is worn with sanitary liners or clients own nude thong and cleaned after use. We also send you a visual guide on what lingerie we think photographs best if you’re looking to treat yourself with some new lacy underthings!
Roots need touched up? Are you the kind of person who likes their nails done? Now would be the time to get that done! If you’re not big on polished fingers and toes, just come in with bare nails. Alternatively if you’re the kind of person who rocks a chipped edgy set feel free to be true to your own personal style! Now would also be the time to really pamper your skin. When you’re posing in lingerie you have so much more skin on display than you do everyday. Drink all the water, apply lotion a few times a day, exfoliate with a sugar scrub during a hot shower- really pamper your skin! If your preference is to remove body hair, we recommending shaving or waxing a few days before your photoshoot to let your skin have a little recovery time and to avoid razor burn.
Pack up everything you’d like to bring to your photoshoot. We always say we don’t mind if you overpack. We’d rather have more variety than less. All our shoots come with hair and makeup services. Plan on arriving in comfy clothes that won’t leave marks on your skin. You can roll out of your bed and show up in your PJ’s if you’d like and our hair and makeup artist will take care of glamming you up!
We also recommend trying to not overdo it the night before. This is not the time to drink a bit too much or overdo it with physical activity. While all of our clients are able to do some variation of our posing, it often uses muscles that you aren’t used to holding at certain angles and is made all that much harder when you’re sore. Netflix and hydration are probably the best night before plans you can have for your boudoir shoot!
“You just arrive to the studio and we handle the rest! ”
Of course this is all just a recommendation. Sometimes our best laid plans don’t turn out quite how we expect. Even if you come into the studio off a bender, with razor burn and no lingerie we can make it work for you. If your a planner like me the information we send out will help you prepare your mind, and possibly soothe your anxiety.
Let me know if you have more questions in the comments below on how to prepare. Again, this is just a tiny snippet of the information we share with you after booking. Roar Boudoir has been doing photoshoots since before 2014 and we love sharing the knowledge we’ve acquired over these past six years!

“What an amazing experience and stunning photos. I had an appointment in early October and still haven’t picked a favorite! I will most certainly be going back!”
This beautiful babe came for some classic glam in our private studio. Her day job is totally bad ass. She’s a mechanic for planes and seems to be damn good at it! I always wanted to be a pilot, but fun fact I have a eye that doesn’t work so well so I wouldn’t pass the vision test. Good thing you only need one eye for the viewfinder of a camera right?
But less about me, more about this boss babe! I hope you’re back soon, you were amazing to shoot!
I don’t get to do as many maternity sessions as I would like to do. A boudoir session with our milk bath set is an amazing way to capture your beautiful changing body. At the studio we totally understand that sometimes it can be hard to feel sexy during pregnancy and we want to help show you that you already are. Not only will you get sexy yet classy images that you won’t be shy to share, you’ll get a confidence boost and a little pampering before you’re bundle of joy arrives. Miss R. road-tripped it to us from a few hours away, and I’m so glad sh did! Miss R. is using these images during her baby shower, which I love! I hope all goes well during your delivery- hoping to get to meet your beautiful baby girl someday!
A lot of my clients at Roar Boudoir turn into friends. Sometimes I meet a client whose just a little left of center, like me. When you get an email asking if they can bring, and be photographed with a bucket of fried chicken you book that shoot ASAP. Miss C. was seriously so amazing to have in the studio. I hope she comes back with another, out there, yet awesome request. She was gracious enough to let me share her images, I think they turned out beautifully!
We love helping brides give their grooms the ultimate grooms gift. What can be better than giving him something you already know he wants? This green eyed beauty came into the studio looking for exactly that. She absolutely rocked her session, even though she said the very idea of this session was outside of her comfort zone. We were there to guide her every step of the way- from how to hold her mouth in the right shape to where to point her toes. You do not need to consider yourself sexy to be able to do a boudoir session! You'll totally feel that way after we reveal your images to you though. We will help you find your best lighting, angles and poses. Even the most nervous of clients tell us that our shoots feel like they're just hanging out with a bunch of girlfriends. We promise to make it fun!
We often get clients that would like to keep their sessions with Roar Boudoir a more private affair. That is absolutely fine! We value and respect your privacy here. Sometimes those same clients want a way to sing our praises from the rooftops but aren't comfortable with posting a review under their real name. We often get emails like this and thought I'd take some time to share a few sweet sentiments that we'd received.
"My personal session at Roar was a transformative experience. I am 48 and have been successful in many areas of my life. However, I still struggle with being "at war" with my overweight body. While the Roar studio has a sweet, humble first appearance, the interior was soon transformed into a dazzling suite at the Ritz! The environment of hospitality and professionalism put me at ease from the minute I arrived. Becci styled my hair and did brilliant makeup work as I sat in the director's chair sipping 'bubbly' listening to my favorite music.
While I relaxed, Roar Boudoir prepared the sets and arranged my outifts together and put me at ease before my session. It was so friendly and matter-of-fact! In no time, they were warmly guiding me through the modeling process with care and competence. Soon, I forgot my fears and was "hanging out and playing dress-up”. I was posing, changing outfits, and moving about the sets with my new best girlfriends!
I drove home later that evening thinking 'WOW. That was just incredible. I would do that again in a minute!" Thank you Roar Boudoir for your 'Magic'! I am grateful that you gave me “new eyes” by showing me fabulous I am in my own skin!"
"Roar boudoir is something every woman should do at least once in their life! I am no supermodel, but these women made me feel 20 again at almost 40 years old. The pictures turned out stunning. Roar Boudoir's photography skills are killer.
Destiny did my hair and makeup and was wonderful, I felt so pampered and pretty. It felt like just a fun day with my close girlfriends, chatting about our lives and laughing I felt so comfortable with them and was not the least bit embarrassed once it was time to get close to naked and act sexy. I was enjoying myself so much that I was sad when the time was up! It was a gift for my husband, but ended up being much more for myself."

You may recognize Becca. She was one of our first models, frequent shooting assistant, and all around babe! We did a quick home session for her recently and thought they would be lovely to share! In home sessions are available on some of our packages. They can be a great option for some people, but aren't ideal in all scenarios. If that's something that interests you, please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your options! We had a lot of fun playing with light, check out a small sampling of the photos below.
Skye came in last month for a barebones session. It's a great budget option if you aren't able to book a marathon date. Skye was amazing in the short time we got her, and double amazing when we found out she had recently given birth to her beautiful son! No matter what stage of life you're in - you're body is beautiful and awe inspiring! Ready for some stunning photos?
Thank you so much Skye! You're beautiful!
Annie R. was one of the very first girls into the studio this past weekend. She was an absolute joy to work with! We got so many amazing shots of her, the sampling you see here is just a small percentage of our favorite shots. Annie has one of the most infectious smiles ever!
Annie R. was so easy and laid back during her shoot, she even educated us on Trap music, which totally made her shoot feel like a party.
Cheers to our first official member of the Roar Society!
