Los Angeles boudoir photography
beautifully and uniquely raw
Eli Boudoir
I've heard a lot of women say they want to, but are going to wait until they have their dream bodies. I think that is a load of bullshit, excuse my French. You are never going to have your dream body, because having one is a misnomer. Your body will always have flaws, but those flaws are what make you perfect and stunning, and most importantly, uniquely you.
Hi! I'm Elili. Boudoir photography has been a massive part of my journey, learning to love and appreciate my body. But beyond that, regaining my confidence after being sexually assaulted. I remember how insecure I used to be, and am so grateful that boudoir photography helped me change the way I view my body.

My BOoking process
what to expect from your eli boudoir experience
From the moment you begin your boudoir photoshoot experience, the process will be effortless. Booking is simple and transparent. Sessions can be reserved directly through my website, where you can select a date that fits into your schedule. During the checkout process you will be able to select from two payment options: a single payment or a payment plan that divides your session fee into three installments.
I offer three boudoir photoshoot options: the Bookworm package; the Nature Lover package; or the Bucket List package. The Bookworm package is a studio based photoshoot session. The Nature Lover takes place outdoors, typically at either the beach or a trail. Lastly, the Bucket List photoshoot experience includes both a studio component and an outdoor component, giving you the best of both worlds.
Once your photoshoot is scheduled, you will complete a questionnaire, and I will guide you through pre-session details to make sure you feel prepared and at ease. This is where your nerves settle and excitement begins.
I also offer optional phone consultations. These are not necessary but are available if you have pressing questions you want to discuss before your photoshoot.
Your photoshoot
Your photoshoot
It is finally the day you have been waiting for! Your photoshoot will last between 1.5 to 2 hours. I have found this is the perfect amount of time. It lets us shoot three outfits comfortably, so you never feel rushed and have time to take breaks as necessary. I have all of my clients bring at least 4 outfits to their session, so we have options in case something does not fit the way you wanted.
I will coach you through poses that make you look phenomenal, helping you make minor adjustments throughout the whole session. You will never have to wonder what to do with your hands or what expression to make.
If you opt to include professional make-up, your photoshoot experience will begin with pampering and relaxation. The perfect start to a day all about YOU.
Prior to your photoshoot itself, I will provide styling guidance so that you walk into your photoshoot with clothing choices that make you feel confident, beautiful, and powerful.
Your reveal session
Your reveal session
Approximately one week after your photoshoot, we will reconvene for your reveal—the most exciting moment of the whole process where you get to see your fabulous photographs. Every client I have worked with is always in disbelief that these photos are of themselves. They are THAT transformative. In this private setting, you will get to view your soft proofs. These photos have base edits, but selected photographs will undergo another round of retouching.
This session will go at your pace. If you need an extra moment to take in your photos, take it. Together, we will narrow down the photographs that resonate with you the most and discuss the ways to meaningfully preserve them.
Your initial investment comes with four 5x7 fine art prints which can be used as a $200 print credit towards an heirloom album, canvas wall art, or metal wall art prints. Whether you choose delicate prints or a handcrafted album, every option will honor your photographs as art.
The reveal and ordering session is your moment. Its punch lies in connecting with yourself, revealing your intrinsic radiance, and fueling your greater self-assurance.

what makes boudoir right for you?
I only say this because your time is valuable and should not be wasted on subpar experiences. Based on my experience, if you aren't ready for your boudoir journey, it is not going to be nearly as enjoyable.
Especially for something as personal as boudoir, choose the photographer who's work you LOVE and who you feel comfortable with. If they make you feel uncomfortable or awkward with your clothes on, you definitely won't feel relaxed with them off.
Choose the right photographer
02.
I'm going to be so honest. Boudoir is an investment - both in yourself and financially. And not everyone is ready for that journey. So, if you aren't, bookmark this page and come back to it once you are.
Now, if your only hesitancy is your insecurities and you WANT to move past them, book that boudoir session and don't think about it anymore.

Testimonial
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.
