Boudoir is intimate.
Boudoir is already a vulnerable experience without wondering whether your photographer will truly see you or understand how you want to represent your identity, your relationship, your pronouns, or how you want to express yourself.
I'm a queer Los Angeles boudoir photographer and I have crated an experience where you can be yourself. I know how important it is to walk into a space where you don't have to question if you belong.
Here, you do.
I will never assume who you love, how you identify, how masculine or feminine you want to be, or what boudoir is meant to look like for you.
Prior to your session, we will discuss what makes you feel incredible, what you are drawn to, which parts of your essence you want your photographs to capture. With my expertise, we will create photographs that feel timeless, bold, and impossibly beautiful, while still unmistakably resembling you.
Bold.
Soft.
Sensual.
Powerful.
Playful.
Intimate.
Or something completely different.
Your identity does not need to be the reason you book a boudoir session.
But it deserves to be understood, respected, and represented during your experience.
You don't have to minimize yourself here.
A space where you get to be fully yourself
This experience is not about transforming you into somebody else.
It is about creating photographs that are so breathtaking and captivating that you look at them and think:
Wow that is me.
Maybe it is a version of yourself that you haven't stopped long enough to notice.
Maybe it is a version of yourself that you are seeing for the first time.
Or maybe it is a version of yourself that you have always known was there.
Life has a way of giving you endless reasons to put yourself last. Work. Family. Relationships. Appointments. Everything you need to do to take care of your health. The people who rely on you.
And suddenly another year has passed.
Boudoir gives you a few hours where you are the priority. You are not managing anyone else's experience. You can let us handle the details.
You get to be the one taken care of.
And you do not need to wait until your body reaches some imaginary finish line first.
Maybe you've been thinking about doing this for years.
Boudoir that feels like you.
This is what it can look like
Boudoir does not have to be inside a studio.
If you are the kind of person who feels alive, grounded, and more connected to yourself outdoors, your perfect boudoir expereince can be in nature.
In Los Angeles, we are lucky. We have access to the expansive ocean and the mountains.
There is something incredibly freeing about liberating yourself in nature.
Sometimes, the moment calls for a celebration.
A new chapter of your identity. A milestone in your relationship. A major transition. Your first Pride. A significant anniversary.
But you do not need a major milestone to do a boudoir photoshoot.
You can simply want to create art that celebrates who you are today.
Couples boudoir is about your connection.
Your chemistry. Your intimacy. Your laughter. The silent conversations exchanged through glances. The ways you gravitate towards each other.
I provide plenty of direction so you will never feel awkward or unsure of what to do. Your photographs will never feel like you're performing.
They will feel like both of you.
Maybe your boudoir experience is for yourself.
There doesn't need to be an anniversary, wedding, or milestone on the horizon.
A solo boudoir experience is your chance to reconnect with your body, explore your sensuality, celebrate this chapter or finally do the shoot you've been dreaming about for years.
You don't need a better reason than I want to.
Make it your own.

Your entire session will feel relaxed and at no point should you feel rushed or in a hurry to switch outfits.
From start to finish, your experience will be full of hands-on direction, laughter, conversation, and a space to just be in the moment.
You don't need to know a single pose.
I will tell you where you need to place your hands, where to look, and how to position your body.
You will never be standing in front of my camera wondering "What should I be doing right now?"
Your experience begins with professional make-up and time for you to settle in.
Your make-up will accentuate your natural beauty! It is all about letting yourself be taken care of and feel as beautiful as you are.
Before your session, I will provide wardrobe guidance and help you prepare for your experience. You will arrive with an abundance of options. We will choose the right ones together.
An Unhurried photography Experience
Expert Posing Guidance.
Professional Makeup
Thoughtful Preparation
It is completely normal to feel nervous about your boudoir experience.
Almost everyone I photograph has never done this before.
They are not models.
They do not know their poses or angles.
They feel unsure of what to do with their hands.
But I will let you in on a little secret. You don't have to.
That is my job.
From the moment you reserve your session to the moment you see your beautiful photographs, every part of the experience is designed so you feel prepared, taken care of, and excited.
AN Experience created around you
You are taken care of from the beginning to the end
ELI Boudoir Client, Los Angeles
The photos came out amazing because Elili was able to capture my own version of beautiful and I am so grateful for that.
One of my absolute favorite parts of the experience comes after your session. The private reveal.
This is when you experience your photographs for the first time.
For most of my clients, this is when the biggest shift takes place.
You already experienced a shift during your session.
Your nerves started to dissipate.
Throughout the experience, you gained confidence with each and every pose.
And then you see the photographs.
Bold. Beautiful. Confident. Sensual. Alive. Powerful.
And completely yourself.
You get to select the photographs that resonate with you the most, and choose how to preserve them.
Then you get to see what I saw.
your private reveal
Digital photographs are great.
But these photographs deserve more. It is a completely different experience to hold your own photographs in your hands.
They hold a different permanence.
These images were intentionally crafted.
For you.
About you.
A handcrafted heirloom album that allows you to relive this experience for years.
Wall art lets you take something vulnerable and allow it to live boldly.
Your photographs are a reminder of your strength, and your sensuality.
Some photographs deserve more than a camera roll.
PHotographs made to be kept
Maybe you have always thought that boudoir was for someone else.
Someone more confident.
Someone with more time.
Someone who is not balancing a career, a family, a relationship, or a dozen other responsibilities.
Someone with a "better body."
Someone who already knows how to feel sexy, with or without a camera present.
Someone braver.
But here's the secret. You do not need to become that person before you book your experience.
The women I photograph rarely walk through into the studio feeling completely ready.
They walk in because some part of them is tired of waiting.
Tired of waiting for their body to change.
Tired of waiting for life to slow down.
Tired of waiting to become the woman they think is allowed to do this.
You don't have to become her.
You already are her.
Maybe you've always thought boudoir was for somebody else.
Who Is This Really For
Reserve your experience
Your boudoir experience is about infinitely more than just the duration we spend photographing you.
It includes the preparation beforehand, professional make-up, expert guidance throughout the session, the artistry involved in creating your photographs, and your private reveal afterwards.
Photographs and heirloom artwork are selected separately, only once you have seen your photographs, so you only purchase what you love.
The session fee is $750, with photographs and heirloom artwork is selected separately after your reveal.
A high-end experience, intentionally created from beginning to end.
The Investment
Absolutely.
Couples boudoir is one of my favorite ways to photograph the connection between two people.
Sessions can take place in the studio or outdoors, depending on the feeling you want to capture.
Absolutely not.
I do not expect you to walk into the studio knowing a single pose.
I will guide you through every single pose, angle, expression and adjustment. Your job is not to perform for me or my camera.
Your only job is simply to show up.
I will take care of the rest.
