What Is Holiday Boudoir?
Holiday boudoir is the seasonal version — festive wardrobe, holiday lighting, and a delivery timeline designed so your album arrives in time to gift on Christmas morning or Valentine's Day. Booking opens in early October for the holiday season and mid-December for Valentine's.
Sessions are $450 with Honey Deww Photography, a Minneapolis boudoir photographer serving clients across the Twin Cities.
Who it's for
Anyone planning a holiday gift for a partner, or treating themselves to a year-end confidence shoot. Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, Valentine's, and anniversary sessions all fall under this theme.
Wardrobe
Festive favorites include red satin slips, oversized cable knits with nothing underneath, plaid button-downs, Santa-hat-and-stockings styling for Christmas, and red lace lingerie for Valentine's. The studio carries seasonal props on rotation.
What to expect
Same 1.5 to 2 hour structure with full posing guidance, plus seasonal styling. Books for the holiday season close in early November, so book in October to guarantee Christmas-gift delivery.
How Much Does Holiday Boudoir Cost? $450
Sessions are $450 for 1.5 to 2 hours in a private Minneapolis studio, every edited photo in both B&W and color, full posing guidance, and a private password-protected gallery within 3–4 weeks. Optional hair & makeup is a $150 add-on. Christmas-delivery deadline is mid-November booking — Valentine's-delivery deadline is mid-January booking.
Book Your Holiday Boudoir SessionHoliday booking calendar
Christmas-season slots open the first week of October and typically fill by the end of November. Valentine's slots open December 15 and fill by mid-January. Anniversary and milestone sessions run year-round outside those windows.
Gift presentation
Holiday albums arrive in a black linen presentation box wrapped with a ribbon and a hand-written card if you'd like one. Digital-only galleries can be unlocked on a date you choose — perfect for Christmas morning or Valentine's evening.
What Do People Ask About Holiday Boudoir?
When do I need to book for a Christmas-gift boudoir album?
Book by early-to-mid November at the latest. Sessions take 3–4 weeks to edit and physical albums take another 3 weeks to design and print, so anything booked after mid-November risks missing Christmas.
When do I need to book for a Valentine's Day boudoir gift?
Mid-January for digital delivery, the first week of January for a printed album. The holiday-season backlog clears by then, so January bookings move quickly.
Do you decorate the studio for holiday sessions?
Yes — the studio is restyled for the season from mid-November through early January (Christmas/winter) and again the last two weeks of January through Valentine's Day (red, silk, candlelight).
Where do sessions take place?
All sessions are photographed in a private, comfortable studio space in the Minneapolis / Twin Cities area. The exact address is shared after booking to protect your privacy.
I've never done this — will you tell me how to pose?
Yes — every pose, every angle, every hand placement is guided. You don't need experience. My only job is to make you feel completely at ease and look incredible.
Are my photos kept private?
Always. Your gallery is password-protected and never shared publicly without a written model release that you sign on your own terms.
