a note from the owner
Since I was a child I wanted to be a photographer. I've always had such a sense of wonder and imagination. I seek beauty everywhere I go.
I was also shy, unconfident, and insecure. In my young adult years things happened in my life that reinforced the negative way I perceived myself.
At 21 years old I found boudoir photography.
From then on, I began to photograph new friend after new friend. Helping them see just how truly beautiful they were.
Helping them drop societies' ideals and find strength and grace in their own body and mind.
The amazing benefit of that was that I began to have that awakening in myself. Today I am so grateful for the self-loving woman I've become.
16 years, and 4,100+ clients later, The Boudoir Divas is a team of women that desires just that. To empower women, help them come alive, find a little more freedom, boost their mind-body connection, and even form a tribe that we travel the world with.
It's our honor to get to know you.
We offer shoots in San Diego, Ca.
We also have a gorgeous studio in Nashville, TN.
In our studio, at the beach, in a field, or all over the world...
Let's have some fun together!

Our current team has been together for over 8 years!

We believe that every woman deserves to have a safe and fun space where she can be celebrated. Where, for once, it's finally all about her.
We know that booking a shoot can be a little scary, but we promise that you won't regret it. The hardest part is just getting to the studio, once you are here your nerves will subside as we plan your shoot together and get you into hair and makeup. All you have to do is get the gumption to show us, we'll do the rest!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I'm awkward in front of the camera and I don’t know how to look sexy...
Who will be my boudoir photographer?
We have an amazing small staff of all-female boudoir photographers here at The Boudoir Divas. And while you won’t know who your photographer is until you get here, we promise you will be in excellent hands, there are only a few of us, and the newest gal has been shooting boudoir for 6 years now.
Each photographer is very knowledgeable with hundreds of shoots under her belt. Our staff is kind, hard working, and all of us believe every woman is uniquely beautiful.
Do you photograph all shapes, sizes and ages?
Of course!
We photograph women of ALL shapes and sizes, of all ages (21+), and from all walks of life! One thing we hear very often is: “I feel like I need to lose a few pounds before doing this shoot”… and to that we say, NO WAY!
Don’t wait to lose a few extra pounds. This isn’t about looking thinner, this is about looking beautiful! And we promise you, YOU absolutely will. No matter what your body type, we want to help capture YOUR unique beauty.
How long will my session last?
It depends on how many “looks” are included in your package, but you should plan to be at our studio for a minimum of 3-8 hours. Typically hair and make-up is 1.5 hours. And then about 30 minutes per look. If you are doing a "By The Sea" session it's a 6-7.5 hour session and it will typically run about 35 minutes past sunset.
What if I don't want lingerie shots?
Will you be airbrushing my images?
Yes, but you will still look like YOU. We are going to airbrush all of the images in your order. Every image that you purchase digitally or that's in your boudoir album includes our standard airbrushing – which is skin softening, reducing the appearance of cellulite and wrinkles, as well as blemish removal. You won't look fake or and no one will know we retouched them. Keep in mind we do not “nip and tuck” extensively. We want to make sure that we aren’t conforming to society’s ridiculous standard of beauty.
With that said, you are the client and we want you to be happy with your images, and though we don't want to cuz we like how you look... should you request more extensive contouring we can do so at an additional fee.) We will pose, light, and style you to flatter YOUR figure and celebrate who YOU are so that retouching is minimal – not mold and change you into what our culture is teaching us ladies we need to be. #beyourownsupermodel
There are a lot of boudoir photographers out there, and definitely cheaper ones, why should I choose you?
First we think we have the most experience, and when it comes to taking pics of people, experience is everything.
Next, we really, really care. When you walk in you will be treated like a friend, and I assure you you will feel totally comfortable. We have heard so many stories out there about the sketchy or uncomfortable experiences our clients have had at other locations, not only does that sadden us, but it pushes us to be the best we possibly can. Our loft is a luxurious, warm and welcoming space that we spent tens of thousands of dollars outfitting to be the chic-est, hippest, space for you to take photos to last a lifetime.
The team is the best of the best. And their experience in this industry warrants a professionals pay.
A photo shoot like this isn’t something you will probably treat yourself too often in your life, and sure you could grab a cheaper photographer, but we truly believe that if you are investing you should spend a little more and get an experience to last a lifetime.
What happens if I don't love my photos?
If you are unhappy with your images, we don't offer refunds, but we will do a re-shoot for you with hair and makeup at your own expense.
It hasn’t happened, but we are sure that’s a comfort when you are investing in us.
Is there a way I can see all your “sets”?
In our new space we don’t actually have defined sets, we jump around and move furniture and go into different areas of the space. On the day of your shoot, after hair and make-up, we will chat before your shoot and show you examples and create a game plan together.
Do you shoot nude images?
We have hundreds of TESTIMONIALS
I was very nervous as a lot of women would be, but the experience was very nurturing, very celebratory. I felt very comfortable and it was a lot of fun! When you see the photos you’ll look back upon them and reflect and feel very happy about the experience.

I'm in love with how my pictures turned out, as a mom I'm struggling to embrace my tummy after 2 kids. But not at this shoot! I'm so proud of how I look and my husband
LOVED them!!
- Vanessa
My experience with the all women staff at The Boudoir Divas have been nothing short of fantastic. Just trust the process. Listen to your Makeup Artist. They know what they're talking about. Listen to your Photographer too. When you go with the flow, you will look fantastic in the end. Trust me. I'll be coming back and so is my friends and family.
