Hello world! So we are all aware of the awesome effects a boudoir photoshoot has on a woman. But what about a significant other she is sharing the photos with? What are their reactions, before, during, and after the process? I spoke with the greatest hubby ever, Tim, to see what he has to say about boudoir photography, The Boudoir Cafe, and our wonderful team. Tim had a lot to say about how it felt to be there during the …
Hi darlings! Here in LA we have a saying: “Any woman can be a porn star.” I think this is a little much. However, if you analyze what it is trying to say, you realize that there is not only much reality behind it, but much reality as well. In essence, the saying means this: inside every woman, there is a sexual goddess. There is sexuality in every woman. And every woman has the right, and the ability, to explore, …
Hi fabulous women of the world! Feminism is often confused with the eras of suffragist voting rights, bra-burning, and the fight for birth control. And while these ideas are important to keep in mind, the modern, third wave of feminism is something we must understand and pay attention to. In essence, third-wave feminism is marked by the goal of complete gender equality between men and women in the 21st century and beyond. That means equal pay in the workplace and …
Hi Boudoir Beauties! As you may know, The Boudoir Café does a full hair and makeup session just for you before your boudoir photoshoot. During makeup, one question Hedley, me, and our makeup artiste always get asked is, “Where in the world do you, and the girls you photograph, get such long, full, amazing lashes?” Usually, for most boudoir photo sessions, our team at The Boudoir Cafe sees girls come in asking for fake lashes; or have gotten eyelash extensions …
Hi loves! The Boudoir Cafe team always gets asked this question: what is the difference between pin-up and boudoir? Understandably, it’s easy to get confused between pin-up and boudoir. They are both sexy, tasteful photographs done in a fun photoshoot environment, and they are both meant to help you find that sexy side of yourself. Except there are a few key differences between pin-up and boudoir. When we say pin-up, we are taken back to the early 1900’s, when these …

Hello all my lovely ladies of all shapes, sizes, genders, and abilities! The power of boudoir is that it recognizes the beauty in every woman. Because every woman is beautiful. The team at The Boudoir Cafe has had the pleasure of working with plus size girls — of which we say: Plus Size? How about natural, normal, gorgeous size. Though the industry has coined the term “Plus Size,” we don’t necessarily believe in it, because it implies that this is …
There’s this common misconception that boudoir photography is only for younger women. It’s so wrong it’s ridiculous. It’s assuming that only young women can be sexy, that only young women can be beautiful. SO wrong. Older woman are just as — or even more beautiful than — the young woman you think you see plastered all over the media. Older women doing boudoir photography is something Hedley, my team, and I at The Boudoir Cafe have personal experience with. And …
