About Couples Boudoir

Couples boudoir is for the two of you. It's not a maternity shoot with a partner standing nearby, and it's not a wedding portrait — it's an intimate, guided session designed around the way you actually exist together when no one else is watching.

Who it's for

Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, post-wedding portraits, long-distance reunions, or partners who just want a private set of images of themselves together. All bodies, all orientations, all relationship structures are welcome.

Wardrobe

Matching neutrals work best — white tees and briefs, soft silk pajamas, lingerie and an open button-down, or simply a shared bedsheet. Bring 2–3 looks each and we'll choose together.

What to expect

A pre-session call to map out boundaries (what you're up for and what you're not), full posing guidance for both of you, and a private gallery only you two can see.

Couples Boudoir Pricing — $550

Couples boudoir sessions are $550 — 75 minutes in a private Minneapolis studio, every edited photo in B&W and color, full posing guidance for both partners, and a private gallery within 3–4 weeks. Hair & makeup for one or both partners is a $150-per-person add-on.

Book Your Couples Boudoir Session

Why couples book a boudoir session together

Most couples tell me they wanted images of themselves the way they exist privately — not the posed-on-the-wedding-day version, not the smiling-at-the-camera version. Couples boudoir is the antidote to the formal portrait.

Boundaries and consent

Before booking, we have a short call to agree on exactly what you both are and aren't up for. Nothing happens in the session that wasn't agreed on in advance. You both sign the gallery release together.

Couples Boudoir FAQ

How much does a couples boudoir session cost?

Couples boudoir is $550 and runs 75 minutes — slightly longer than solo sessions to give both partners time to settle in. Hair & makeup is $150 per person.

What if one of us is shy about being photographed?

Almost every couple has one shy partner. The full posing guidance is designed for exactly this — we start fully clothed, build comfort gradually, and never push past what feels good.

Is this only for married couples?

Not at all. Dating, engaged, married, partnered — every commitment structure is welcome, and so are LGBTQ+ couples, polyamorous partners, and long-distance couples celebrating a reunion.

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.
