your hidden dimples,
The way your valleys and peaks meet
All of the stretches in creating life.

Take my hand; rediscover the world within 

RECLAIM THE MOST PRECIOUS THING YOU INHABIT:

ELI Boudoir

Every woman is uniquely beautiful.

Every woman is enough just as she is.

Let’s celebrate your unique glow

Boudoir is for you:

You deserve it

in the Past
THe present
and the future

Every single woman is deserving of a loving relationship with their body now. Not once you hit a certain marker, but as your body is right now. You deserve to see your body as the work of art it is. At ELI Boudoir, I firmly believe that your body tells your story - your scars, stretch marks, cellulite, and everything in-between - paint your picture. They describe who you are, where you have been and how courageous and powerful you are. Your body is a masterpiece as it is and does not need to be changed in order for you to see that. At ELI Boudoir, I create luxury boudoir portraits that celebrate your body as art. Together we preserve this chapter of your story beautifully, allowing you to revisit and deepen your strength for years to come.


Society has conditioned most women to minimize ourselves to fit within the world - whether that is in terms of your confidence, career, beauty. It has taught us that we can only celebrate ourselves upon a massive milestone. While I agree that we should celebrate milestones, you deserve to be celebrated at all times. Your relationship with your body deserves to be continuously fed, rather than waiting for something “worthy” of improving it. Self-love is found when you grab the reins and take control. You will be left chasing it forever if you never take the control back. 

the eli BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE IS FOR:

  • Brides who want to honor their love story and mark this once-in-a-lifetime season with photographs that feels personal, elevated, and unforgettable.
  • Women who want to commemorate their pregnancy with unforgettable photographs. 
  • Women who simply want to experience what it feels like to be fully seen, beautifully guided, and photographed with intention, care, and artistry.
  • Women in their 40s and beyond who are owning their presence, confidence, and magnetism.
  • Women in their 50s ready to do what they dreamt of in their 20s, ready to finally take control of their relationship with their bodies, and who now know that their power only continues to flourish with time.
  • Women stepping into boudoir for the first time and craving a guided, supportive experience that reveals a side of themselves they’ve never fully seen before.
  • Mothers who pour endlessly into everyone else and are ready to take up space, be prioritized, and reconnect with themselves as women.
  • Ambitious, driven women seeking a pause from the demands of daily life — a moment to reconnect with sensuality, softness, and inner strength.
  • Returning clients who understand the power of being photographed and choose to document each new chapter, evolution, and reinvention of themselves.

No matter where you are in your journey, this experience is an invitation to be celebrated, empowered, and reminded that you’ve always been the art.

Kori S.

I am so happy and honored that you were the first person to ever take my photos because I see myself in a different light and it’s all because of your amazing photography skills!! I’m so bad with words so I hope I captured how amazing your work is!! 

I am absolutely obsessed with my photos!! You made me feel so beautiful and empowered during the photo shoot but looking at how amazing those photos are it’s gonna be some thing that I will always remember!! 

"Hey, wanna take some spicy photos together? Just for fun"

Back in college, I had no idea that boudoir photography was a thing, let alone a profession that would become my passion. 

At the time, I was deep in the biochemistry world, miserable, and severely lacking confidence. I liked myself, but never felt confident in my skin; and I was trying to process all of the sexual trauma I had experienced. 

I thought to myself "why not, it can't hurt..." and low and behold it was a monumental moment in my life. After that shoot, I found myself returning to those photos whenever I was having an off-day or needed a confidence boost.

You deserve this

What if you could feel this confident and beautiful and return to the feeling anytime you want

xoxo,
Elili

I am asking you to trust me with a deeply personal, intimate experience, so I figured it was my turn to be vulnerable first. 

Personally, boudoir has played a massive role in my journey. I grew up in an environment that lacked diversity and taught me that beauty was equated to Eurocentric features. I spent a lot of time being overcritical of my body. My confidence was quite literally on the floor.

I was first exposed to boudoir photography in college with a couple of my closest friends. Immediately, I knew it was something special. I routinely found myself returning to the photos when I was having an off-day and feeling my spirits instantly lift. 

It is my dream, to be able to impart this feeling and confidence to other women. My hope is that I can help you reclaim the most precious thing you inhabit and light your inner fire so it can never be dampened. Our bodies are precious and beautiful and deserve to be appreciated. The second half of my dream, is to ensure that you have a blast while doing so and feel more free afterwards.

Thank you in advance for trusting me with you and your body


My letter to you as your future boudoir photographer

Embrace where you are...now

I will say this a million times and a million times more - you will always have or find another insecurity to push your photoshoot off for. That's totally understandable, I have been there too. 

My favorite part of being a boudoir photographer is being able to see the transformation or emboldened confidence women walk out of the studio with. Even prior to your session reveal, there is a shift. I love being able to help women embrace their most powerful, free self. I truly feel honored that I get to assist in such a personal journey.

At ELI Boudoir, I want to help you regardless of where you are at. So whether that means, you want to shoot in three different dresses or three lingerie sets, I will be your personal hype woman. Likewise, if you want to do a boudoir shoot for fun, to embrace your "imperfections," or to help you love your body more, I am your gal!




A little bit of everywhere

I moved around a bunch when I was younger - New York to London to Colorado - but Los Angeles has felt the most like home to me. I have always been a city girl at heart, but simultaneously in love with the outdoors. Los Angeles combines both, and let's be honest the food is phenomenal and I could never give that up!

Hobbies

I love crafts - embroidery, crocheting, painting, drawing - you name it. I taught myself how to embroider years ago and since then it has always been one of my favorite activities. The perfect day to me is sitting in a park with friends, doing crafts and enjoying nature. 

The things most important to me are my friends, my family, experiencing and the world, and the beauty and peacefulness that exists solely in nature. 

start your journey

I recommend scheduling your maternity boudoir photoshoot between 28-32 weeks. You belly should be beautifully visible and you should still be able to move around comfortably. Your comfort is most important. Your maternity boudoir session should center your beauty and comfort. Soft lace, stretchy materials and flowy fabrics are the perfect choice. We can take breaks as you need them, so you never feel rushed.

My approach to maternity boudoir is simple: it prioritizes you. After your maternity photoshoot, you will be invited to an in-person or virtual reveal where you will be able to see yourself in a glowing, radiant maternal light. I will walk you through wall art and heirloom album options, so you can choose the perfect option to preserve this chapter of your life with.

For women in Los Angeles and Orange County seeking maternity boudoir photography, my sessions blend artistry with attentive care—creating a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and truly celebrate this extraordinary milestone.

Being pregnant should be joyous. Often being pregnant is overlooked and we focus on our gripes with it - the cravings and ways our bodies change - but neglect the fact that statistically so many things have to go right to get there. Pregnancy is a precious and powerful chapter of your life.

Maternity boudoir focuses on capturing your strength, softness and this impermanent state. ELI Boudoir offers maternity boudoir sessions across Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire and surrounding areas. My maternity boudoir sessions emphasize your beauty and honoring this phase in your life.

ELI Boudoir - Maternity Boudoir Photography in Los Angeles & Orange County

you're worth it

We will review all your stunning digital photographs after your photoshoot. You will be able to choose your favorites from over 100+ photographs.

Under no circumstances are you expected to know how to pose, that is my job. I will guide you through each and every pose, making any minor adjustments to guarantee you look as beautiful as possible. I have found that the best way to explain poses, is by demonstrating them. I have got you covered!

I would bet money that every time you look at your stunning photographs you will be filled with warmth and in awe of how amazing you look. After your reveal, you will have the option to upgrade to. beautiful wall art or albums. 

While I do not have a client wardrobe for you to choose pieces from. I have tons of advice I love to share.

Regardless of what look you are after we have you covered. All you need to do is arrive with dry hair and in your comfiest clothing. We have got the rest!

Love notes from my clients

Boudoir Client

I was definitely hesitant at first. I’ve never done a boudoir shoot and felt self-conscious about my body going into it. Elili instantly made me feel calm, confident, and comfortable. Nothing felt awkward. I left feeling empowered, more confident, and with a new appreciation for my body exactly as it is. If you’re thinking about booking with Elili , do it. Her work is absolutely gorgeous and truly makes you feel like you belong in a magazine. The experience itself was a 10/10 and genuinely one of the most fun things I’ve done in a while.

Seeing the photos after was unreal. I was honestly in awe. I would recommend Elili to my mom, my sister, and any woman who wants a confidence boost or a meaningful way to honor the body they’re in.

Boudoir Client

I’m going to say with my full chest that Elili is somebody you can trust. If you have ever thought about doing Boudoir and you are a little nervous for any reason, just know that even if it is just for a couple hours, Elili is going to make you feel celebrated and beautiful. The photos came out amazing because Elili was able to capture my own version of beautiful and I am so grateful for that.  

As a plus sized baddie who used to absolutely hate her body and now loves and adores it, working with ELI Boudoir Studios was an absolute dream.

Boudoir Client

I myself am not a person that is super confident about my body, I usually cover it up with the clothes I wear and I never really thought I would do Boudoir photography. I was pretty uncomfortable with the idea, to be honest. One day, I just decided why not do it. And I am very very happy I did. I have a whole new appreciation for my body now. I actually felt a lot more confident about strutting around with all my curves and imperfections after the shoot with Elili. 

I had an incredible experience with Elili and would totally work with her again. She was the perfect balance between professional and also playful but also supportive and incredibly warm.

Boudoir Client

I am so happy and honored that you were the first person to ever take my photos because I see myself in a different light and it’s all because of your amazing photography skills!! I’m so bad with words so I hope I captured how amazing your work is!! 

I am absolutely obsessed with my photos!! You made me feel so beautiful and empowered during the photo shoot but looking at how amazing those photos are it’s gonna be something that I will always remember!! 

Boudoir Client

If anybody else is thinking about doing a shoot with Elili or ELI Boudoir I completely recommend it. I enjoyed Elili as my photographer. She was so patient and so kind and very easy to work with. She just made you feel super comfortable which is a super great thing to have as a photographer. And yeah I just felt super confident throughout the entire process.

It was a 5/5 star experience. It was a great experience and I think they should totally go for it if they want to feel like their confident best self.

Boudoir Client

Upon our first meeting, I felt at ease. With her cheerful and bubbly personality, Elili sets a relaxed and fun tone which makes it easy to let your guard down and trust her guidance and process. I’m 61 years old and I’ll only be this age once. I realized in addition to this being a fun and enjoyable experience, it’s also about self discovery, self expression, confidence and empowerment. Celebrate yourself, you’re worth it!

 As an investment in myself, I deserve to celebrate who I am and who I’ve become and my uniqueness. Through Elili’s lens and her expertise, I have professional boudoir images now that capture my outer and inner beauty beyond my critical filter. It’s real and it’s honest.

Boudoir Client

She was super fun to talk to during the shoot and it definitely helped me feel more comfortable in my own body. I absolutely loved this experience

I had so much fun shooting with elili. I was super nervous going in but she made it feel so natural and fun.

Boudoir Client

I love them. I knew it was going to be good, but i didnt now it was going to be this good

I would definitely recommend you to anybody who is thinking about doing a photoshoot with you. If you are hesitant a little bit, just put yourself out there and you are going to feel really great about yourself. I was proud of myself for doing something like this. 

Boudoir Client

I also had no idea how to pose right but she gave me lots of direction and suggestions for what to do. All the photos came out amazing and I will definitely be shooting with her in the future <3

I felt beyond comfortable doing our photo shoot and this was my first time doing boudoir so I was a bit nervous at first but she’s so sweet and helpful!

Boudoir Client

I had the most amazing experience shooting with Elili. She made me feel so comfortable and time flew. I was able to fully embrace the experience with her! She is amazing!!!!

I did not know what to expect as this was my first boudoir shoot and I can’t express enough how comfortable I felt.

Boudoir Client

She is very talented, kind, and knowledgeable and has a really good eye and so many brilliant ideas on how to pose and what kind of shots would suit you best.

The experience itself was a 10/10 and if I can rate it higher I would because Elili is the photographer behind the camera.

Boudoir Client

I really love the pictures. I think your work is absolutely breathtaking. You made me feel really comfortable and these I will truly treasure. I am so thankful!! So stunning. Your work is beautiful. The green leotard turned out to be my favorite outfit. You make it look super artsy and vintage!

Holy fuck, these are fabulous!!!!!

Boudoir Client

Amazing! I have no experience modeling, however, Elili walked me through poses and positions to create beautiful boudoir photos. 

Highly recommend to anyone who wants to reconnect with their sensual feminine side!!

Boudoir Client

Elili is an amazing photographer!! She took photos of me at my pole dancing showcase and they turned out AMAZING! They’re beautiful. 

All the pictures she took were her first time capturing someone pole dancing and they’re the most beautiful pictures I could’ve asked for!!

Boudoir Client

Elili has a rare talent for combining a high level of professionalism with a warm and comforting approach. During the session, she made me feel completely comfortable, allowing me to embrace the experience fully. This level of consideration and respect for her clients sets her apart.

It's evident that she approaches her work with passion and a keen eye for capturing the essence of her subjects.

Her approach is so comfortable. My photos captured me in a way I've always wanted to see myself- feminine, elegant, and confident.

As someone who is camera shy, I felt so empowered in front of her camera! She is genuine, patient, and not to mention so talented.

Boudoir Client

"Elili is amazing at what she does! She is very professional and kind. She definitely is a hard worker and does what she has to do to get the shot. I can't recommend her enough!"

This was my first photoshoot in YEARS so I am not 100% comfortable in front of the camera but she was great at directing me on poses and made me feel like a real model.The experience itself was a 10/10 and if I can rate it higher I would because Elili is the photographer behind the camera.

The Signature ELI Boudoir Experience | Los Angeles Boudoir Photography

As A Los ANgeles Boudoir Photographer here are Frequently asked questions about boudoir photography

I always look awkward in my photos. What if I look awkward in my boudoir photographs?

Almost every woman I have ever had the pleasure of working with has said the same thing, but then fallen in love with their photographs and ended up feeling comfortable. I will provide you with guidance through the ENTIRE process to guarantee that you do not look awkward. I will guide you through everything from where to place your fingertips, to what facial expression you should make. 

Trust me and my past clients that by the end of the session, you will not be feeling awkward anymore.

And lastly, remember, you are not expected to know what to do in front of the camera. I have got you covered!

What if I don't know what to wear?

There are so many options! Before I jump into a couple of my favorite, I want to remind you that the most important factor is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing, even if it is outside your traditional comfort zone. Before your boudoir session, I will send you a guide outlining some items you can bring to your photoshoot. 

A couple of my favorite choices are bodysuits and three-piece sets. I have never met somebody who did not look fantastic in a bodysuit; and I personally love the variety of poses we can do with a three piece lingerie set and thigh high stockings!

The most important thing is that your outfits reflect YOU.


What if I don't feel comfortable wearing lingerie during my boudoir shoot?

It is simple - then don't.

Your boudoir photoshoot is for you, so if you're not comfortable wearing lingerie, don't wear it. 

A boudoir photoshoot does not have to include lingerie. I have lots of clients bring stunning dresses, jeans, shorts, skirts, sporty bra and panty sets, power suits, and so much more. The only criteria is bring outfits that make you feel powerful.

My only caveat is if you "don't think lingerie is meant for you or your body," push yourself. Bring the lingerie. If by the end of your boudoir photoshoot you still feel uncomfortable in the lingerie, don't wear it. But I think you will be surprised at how confident and comfortable you will be. So challenge yourself and see what happens.

"I don't have my dream, perfect body..."

If you have this commentary in your head, I would push you to ask yourself what a dream body is?

Yes, you can lose weight, or remove certain blemishes, but regardless of how your body changes a new insecurity will always pop up. 

Any woman you look to and idolize, also has insecurities. I would bet it is exactly what you were admiring or something you hadn't even noticed. My point is, we all have insecurities.

That is not to say, you are not allowed to have insecurities, but rather don't put off an experience until you eradicate all your "flaws," because that day will never come. Instead, embrace this opportunity as a way to fall in-love with your body as it is. 

I don't have a reason to do a boudoir photoshoot...

There are an infinite number of reasons women do boudoir:
  1. They're getting married and want to surprise their fiancé with an album or some photos
  2. They are pregnant ant to celebrate with maternity boudoir photographs
  3. They are getting a divorce and want to feel confident and powerful 
  4. As a gift for a significant other.

But to be completely candid, the best reason is for yourself. And that alone is reason enough. Even if you have a different motive, the experience is still for YOU.

Are you going to share my boudoir photographs?

Not unless you give me explicit permission to. I do not share any of my client's boudoir photographs without a signed model release. 

I value my client's privacy more than anything else, so if you do not feel comfortable with your photos being posted, I totally understand and will respect your wishes. However, if you are willing to let me post them, I would love to show off your photos.

All the women on my website have consented to being shown here!  

I want to do a boudoir shoot, but don't have the confidence

All you need is the courage to take the next step. I have got you covered from there. 

Months ago, I saw a woman talking about confidence on TikTok and it resonated with me. She was discussing how confidence is not innate, but rather the act of doing in spite of fear.  Essentially, confidence is built by doing activities or taking risks, regardless of if they intimidate you. 

So if a boudoir photoshoot is daunting to you, get ready to leap. Invest in yourself. Because I can guarantee you will feel infinitely more confident and proud of yourself afterwards. 


I want to do this, but don't think boudoir photography is meant for me...

Boudoir photography is meant for all women - of all shapes and sizes. All bodies are unique and beautiful and are worthy of being celebrated.

Quite frankly, if you are asking yourself if it is right for you, it almost definitely is. 

A boudoir photoshoot should uplift you and remind you of your strength, beauty and power. 

Because you deserve it.

Do you "photoshop" your boudoir photographs?

I do not believe in photoshopping my boudoir photographs. Our "blemishes" are what make us unique and beautiful. Typically, I hear people joking about wanting their insecurities removed from their boudoir photographs. While, I understand this, that takes the YOU out of your photographs, and defeats the point. Now, this viewpoint might be atypical for a boudoir photographer, especially a Los Angeles based boudoir photographer, but I stand by it. I want to help you feel confident in your body as it is, not a body you can't recognize.

My goal as a boudoir photographer is to help you see yourself in a new light. So, I am going to do my utmost to show you in the most flattering ways and highlight what you love about yourself. I believe you are naturally breathtaking and want to help you believe it too. Personally, I got into boudoir photography because I do not think there is a "perfect" body and I want all women to feel confident and as stunning as they are. 

Now, with that being said, if you have a pimple, I will happily remove that as part of my retouching process. A pimple, is temporary and not part of your natural self. But I will not alter your physical body by adjusting your arms, back, stomach, or removing your wrinkles. 

Then boudoir is right for you

  1. You never end up with good photographs of yourself. You constantly find yourself taking great photos for other people, but don't end up with them for yourself.

  2. You are constantly running around for other people and never get to make a day all about YOU.

  3. You tell yourself that you will do a photoshoot once you lose weight or get more confident.

  4. You want to feel empowered and more emboldened. 

  5. You want to embrace your sensual side and feel powerful

  6. You want to see yourself in a new, bold light
