Showcasing one’s beauty through photography can be a powerful and transformative experience. For me, this is about building confidence and embracing my unique features.
That’s why I sought the expertise of a boudoir photographer. This type of photography takes an intimate approach that highlights a body’s beauty and elegance.
You too can capture your (and your partner’s!) beauty at these body-positive boudoir photography studios!

Founded in 2018, Gabriela Cruz Boudoir & Photography is a photo studio that goes beyond simple photoshoots. Led by Yahozka Godfrey, this studio features an all-female team of photographers and artists who are passionate about women’s empowerment.
Currently, they offer a range of services, including couples boudoir, bridal boudoir, and unique limited edition sets like the Rain Room and Forest Set.
One of my friends is a huge fan of their sets and even signed up for their subscription program, which lets you book multiple photo sessions at an affordable price. We’ve also attended a couple of Gabriela Cruz’s free self-care courses, where clients can learn how to improve their well-being and mental state.
However, one thing I dislike about them is their slow turnaround for printed photos. They require at least six weeks before they can provide you with your photos.
Pros
- All-female team
- Has unique limited edition sets
- Has a subscription program
- Offers free self-care courses
Cons
- Requires six weeks to print photos
- Clients must book three months in advance
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
“I had my first boudoir session with these amazing ladies and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I walked in feeling nervous and they had me feeling comfortable and enjoying myself immediately. They made the entire experience so much fun and I am thrilled with the finished product and all the services they provided me with. 10/10 recommend and I look forward to booking my next session!”

Made me feel like a supermodel
“This was hands down one of the best things I’ve done for myself. Not only were the girls fantastic but being that I had zero experience with this kind of thing, they helped direct me in positions and made me feel like a supermodel. I would and will 1000% recommend this to every girl I know, no matter the age. If I win the lottery, boudoir shoots with Gabriela Cruz Boudoir & Photography for every girl in my life!!!”

Calie Brianna Boudoir, founded by Calie Schwartz in 2011, has become a leading boudoir photography studio in Edmonton. With over 13 years of experience and more than 1,600 clients, Calie offers a range of services that include women’s boudoir, men’s boudoir, and couples’ boudoir photo sessions.
For me, it’s a treat to learn that this studio is known for its inclusive environment where anyone can showcase their beauty regardless of gender, size, age, and race.
And with their packages starting at only $300, I knew I had to try out their services at least once. For that price, it was almost a steal for me, as it already included outfit changes, complimentary drinks, image retouching, and a same-day image reveal.
You can learn more by contacting her for a free consultation. Just take note that she may take 48 hours to respond to enquiries.
Pros
- 13 years of experience

Made it so easy for my first ever boudoir experience
“Calie was amazing to work with! I truly enjoyed working with her for my shoot, as she made it so easy for my first ever boudoir experience. She was personable, funny, and just very easy to get along with, which really helped to calm any anxiety I may have had about getting in the nude.
I highly recommend her (for both males and females, but especially males) to be your first fun and sexy photo shoot!”
-Dale Smilski, Google Reviews
The BEST photographer and boudoir studio around
“Calie is absolutely, positively, the BEST photographer and boudoir studio around. Her client closet is second to none – it’s full of all the sexy-gorgeous-empowering outfits you could possibly want, complete with shoes and jewelry. Lace? Check. Straps? Check. Garters? Check.
If you’re scared to book this for yourself, just do it. Or, at least go chat with Calie to see the beautiful humans she’s captured on camera; her studio is filled with bodies of all ages, sizes, and races. The feeling you have after seeing yourself beautifully captured on film is such an amazing feeling, and you couldn’t ask for a better photographer than Calie to capture it for you.”

Bare By Brina is a premier boudoir photography studio that operates in Edmonton, Vancouver, Kamloops, and Kelowna. Their Edmonton studio is one of the biggest I’ve visited, and it offers both solo and couples boudoir photo shoots.
During my visit, one thing that stood out to me was the impressive range of customisation options they offer their clients. In fact, their studio features a ton of sets, including the honey set, bathroom set, bondage set, and neon set.
I was also quite surprised when Brina told me that they also offer professional hair and makeup services, so you don’t need to make a detour to a salon prior to your visit here.
Beyond their photography services, I’m also a fan of the women’s retreats they regularly hold, where clients can foster self-love, sisterhood, and personal growth.
Sadly, their popularity often leads to them being fully booked quickly.
Pros
- Plenty of customisation options
- Provides professional hair and makeup
- Offers women’s retreats
Cons
- Tends to get fully booked quickly
- Unavailable on weekends
The most talented boudoir photographer I’ve seen!
“Brina is amazing! I love my photos so much and can’t wait to get more. The studio is gorgeous, the client closet is amazing but most importantly, Brina makes you feel so confident and is the most talented boudoir photographer I’ve seen! Don’t wait for your body to be ‘perfect’, Brina will help show you it already is.”

I felt extremely sexy the whole time!
“I recently had a major weight loss and wanted to do something to celebrate. I had so much fun doing a mini shoot with Brina! Everyone made me feel so so comfortable and I felt extremely sexy the whole time! It’s going to be so hard to pick which photos I want to get! Highly recommend!”

Pink Blush Boudoir, located in Glenridding Heights, is a premier boudoir photography studio known for its elegant and intimate photography styles. Founded by Sarina Rose in 2011, they offer both women’s and couple’s boudoir photography packages.
There are a lot of amazing things I can say about Sarina and her team, one of them being the impressive range of sets they provide to their clients. Aside from the classics like elegant and dark room setups, they also offer unique ones like projector sets and aerial bondage swing sets.
Even better, they also do home photoshoots, which I was able to witness when my sister hired them for her post-engagement photoshoot.
Frankly, while I was a huge fan of their work, I was a bit shocked when I heard how much my sister paid for them. Thankfully, they offer discounts for clients who opt to pre-pay for their services.
Pros
- Offers unique photography sets
- 13 years of experience
- Has sexy outfits for all sizes
- Can do home photoshoots
- Discounts for prepaid services
Cons
- Above-average prices
- May take 24 hours to respond to enquiries
So much fun & definitely worth the investment
“Sarina and Coral were amazing to work with! They made me feel comfortable and confident during and after my shoot. The process was easy and fluid, making it much less stressful than I expected. It is an amazing experience, I will be returning & recommending it to anyone interested! So much fun & definitely worth the investment, thank you ladies <3”

Made me feel sexy and confident throughout the whole photo shoot
“I had such an amazing experience with Sarina at Pink Blush Boudoir. I’m a really shy person, and have always felt awkward taking photos, but Sarina really put me at ease and made me feel sexy and confident throughout the whole photo shoot. The photos I received were absolutely stunning, I couldn’t be more happy with them. This was a really empowering experience, and I would recommend Sarina to all the women in my life.”

Acts of Beauty Boudoir is a top-tier boudoir photography studio founded by Star Newman in 2011. With a history of creating stunning, intimate portraits, they offer their boudoir photography services to all body types and skin tones.
Honestly, I dislike their above-average prices. However, that doesn’t mean that their packages are completely unworthy of their asking prices.
That’s because their photography packages already include professional hair and makeup, access to their comprehensive studio closet, and a private reveal party to celebrate your stunning photos.
They even offer cool printed products that I was able to purchase as an add-on for a package I bought from them. One of those was a customised wall portrait of my best shot that I proudly hang in my bedroom.
Thankfully, I was able to significantly lessen the blow of their high prices on my wallet with the help of their flexible payment plans.
Pros
- 13 years of experience
- Offers professional hair and makeup
- Offers flexible payment plans
- Can create custom albums and wall arts
Cons
- Above-average prices
- No official business hours
I felt so beautiful and elegant!
“Star and Michelle were amazing. I felt so beautiful and elegant! I had the most rewarding feeling doing this and I just felt more confident about myself when I left than when I came in. I wish I had done something like this sooner.”
-Nicole B, Google Reviews
I enjoyed every moment of this experience
“This was my first boudoir photoshoot and I was incredibly self conscious about how I would feel about my body and the whole experience. My day started with hair and makeup with Michelle and I looked and felt amazing when she was done with her magic! Once hair and makeup were complete I met with Star, she was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable immediately. I enjoyed every moment of this experience and I look forward to the day when I can do it again!”
