I was so nervous walking into the studio, but 10 minutes into my photoshoot I was laughing.
How it works
Comfort isn't luck. It's our process.
From the day you reach out to the day your album shows up, here's every step, so you always know what's next. You don't have to be confident, "photogenic", or sure of yourself to do this. That's my job. Every session follows the same steps, so the only thing you have to do is show up.
You reach out
Spots are limited and go first-come, first-served. You fill out a short form, I look it over, and provide next steps by email in 1 to 3 business days.
01
We plan your outfits
I help you figure out what to wear and what to bring. In my preparation guide, you will receive countless ideas, and I am there to help along the way.
02
Make-up
On the day, you get your makeup done before we start. You sit back and let someone else do the work.
03
Your boudoir photoshoot
Throughout your session, I give you hands-on posing guidance the whole way, showing you exactly what to do, so you're never unsure of what to do with your hands or face.
04
Your reveal and ordering appointment
You see your photos at the end. Most women can't believe the person they're looking at is them
05
You reach out
You pick your favorites and we create stunning heirloom albums and wall art. So you can relive this experience whenever you want.

COMES WITH EVERY PHOTOSHOOT
The boudoir preparation guide
The hardest part of boudoir is the anticipation. Not knowing exactly what you're walking into. So once you book, I send you a guide that covers all of it. By the time your photoshoot rolls around, you've already got answers to the stuff you'd be lying awake ruminating over.
It walks you through what to wear and where to find it, exactly what your day looks like from start to finish, and how to get your skin and hair ready without obsessing. And if the nerves show up, and they probably will, I tell you how I help you through them. My goal as your boudoir photographer is to leave nothing to chance, and help you have the most relaxing and fun photoshoot experience possible.
"Your guide answered every question I had"
These are clients who walked in nervous and left feeling powerful and confident
She is incredibly fun, encouraging, and has a way of making you feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera without ever feeling awkward or self-conscious. Her energy is so warm and positive that it feels like spending time with a friend rather than being in a photoshoot.
I had an amazing experience working with ELI Boudoir! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and at ease. She provided a detailed guide on what to expect step by step.I highly recommend ELI Boudoir if you’re looking for a boudoir photographer—she’s the one!
Elili instantly made me feel calm, confident, and comfortable. She directs you the entire time, finds the best light and angles, and keeps the experience fun and easy. Nothing felt awkward. I left feeling empowered, more confident, and with a new appreciation for my body exactly as it is.
How it actually felt to do a Los Angeles boudoir shoot
I grew up around the idea that pretty meant one kind of face and one kind of body, and it wasn't mine. I spent a lot of years being hard on myself and picking apart how I looked.
I found boudoir in college and something clicked. I kept going back to those photos on the days I felt low, and they reminded me of something I'd lost track of. I started ELI Boudoir so you can have that too.
So if you're reading this sure there's no way you could ever do this, you're the exact person I made this for. I've walked a lot of women through it who said the same thing, then watched them light up when they saw their photos. I'll be right there with you the whole time.
Thanks for thinking about trusting me with this. I don't take it lightly.
Hi, I'm Elili
Who you will be working with
I keep things small so every shoot gets my full attention, from your first message to your reveal. Photoshoots go on a first-come, first-served. Once you complete the questionnaire, I will review it and provide next steps promptly. If there are none available, I will notify you if that changes.
I limit the number of boudoir shoots I take on every month so that I can deliver the best experience.
a few spots each month
I can't wait to make your dreams come true. We will be in touch soon.
Keep an eye out for an email with next steps.
