Guys, there’s no reason to gift her just a regular spa day. And girls, there’s no reason why you should settle for even giving yourself such a small, few-hour lasting treat. …

Hi darlings! Here in LA we have a saying: “Any woman can be a porn star.” I think this is a little much.

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 …

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.

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 women doing boudoir photography is something Hedley, my team, and I at The Boudoir Cafe have personal experience with. And …
