Los Angeles boudoir photography for Women Ready to See Themselves Differently
Eli Boudoir
Your size, age, scars, stretch marks, motherhood, softness, nervousness, or lack of experience do not determine whether you're deserving of beautiful photographs.
Care without conditions.
Your photographs are yours. Nothing is shared publicly without your explicit permission.
Privacy without assumptions.
I'm creating art with you, not turning you into someone unrecognizable.
Artistry without erasing you.
We'll push the edges of your comfort zone, but you remain in control. If something doesn't feel right, we change it.
Encouragement without pressure.
You are not expected to know how to pose. I demonstrate what I'm asking you to do and guide your hands, posture, movement, expression, and even the smallest adjustments.
Direction without judgment
What you can expect from me
The boudoir preparation guide
The hardest part of boudoir is the anticipation. Once you complete my questionnaire, you will receive a guide that covers every aspect of your experience.
From what to wear and where to find it to exactly what your day looks like from start to finish. My goal as your boudoir photographer is to leave nothing to chance, and help you have the most relaxing and fun photoshoot experience possible.
Before your session
"But I don't even know what looks good on me.""
I will help you figure out what to wear
We will go through everything you brought at your session. So you don't have to decide ahead of time. Your outfits shouldn't be chosen based on a trend. Your outfits should make you feel confident and powerful.
I always suggest that you bring an outfit that feels outside of your comfort zone. I will never pressure you to wear it, but most of my clients are surprised by how comfortable they feel.
What you can expect from your experience
Your session is designed so you don't have to arrive knowing what to wear, how to pose, or how to feel comfortable in front of a camera. I'll guide you through each part of the experience so you can settle in and enjoy creating together.
We begin with professional makeup customized to how you want to look and feel.
Professional makeup
We'll look through what you brought and choose your final looks together.
Styling guidance with curated wardrobe recommendations
Your experience will be about two hours, which let's us create art stress-free. I'll demonstrate poses and guide you throughout.
Your session: a 2 - 2.5 hour experience fully guided.
We start simply and build from there. You're always free to pause, pivot or say no.
An experience that moves at your pace
One to two weeks later, you'll see your photographs and choose the ones you can't live without.

You'll have the option to preserve your photographs through collections of heirloom albums, wall art, and digital photographs.
Carefully crafted heirloom albums and wall art.
Seeing your photographs
I've already heard the things women tell me before their session.
I'm not photogenic.
I'm going to look awkward.
There's no way I'm going to look like the women in her photographs.
Then you see your photographs.
And almost always, the first words you utter are:
"Wait. That's me?"
Yes.
That's you.
You'll choose the photographs you love and decide on the perfect artwork collection to preserve them.
Your reveal is the first time you truly get to see yourself for the woman you already are.
What it actually felt like to be photographed by me
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.
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.
