HDCO’s New East Nashville Boudoir Studio is Officially Open!
Go behind-the-scenes of our first boudoir photoshoot in Holly Douglas & Company’s brand new East Nashville boudoir studio!
HDCO’s New East Nashville Boudoir Studio is Officially Open!
After months of moving chaos - including a few small renovations to the new studio space, lots of organization, designing our new boudoir sets, and, of course, decorating - Holly Douglas & Co. officially opened our new studio doors to photograph the first boudoir session of 2024 just last week! The lovely Miss A. had the honor of christening our new space, and she gave us permission to share some behind-the-scenes photos from her photoshoot. So, without further ado, we are excited to present this first glimpse inside Holly Douglas and Company’s new East Nashville luxury boudoir studio!
Office / Glam Room
The first stop in Miss A.’s boudoir experience was our bright and welcoming Office/Glam Room. This room is set up with a well-organized glam station where our talented hair & makeup artists can fully pamper our clients before their photoshoots.
Our office desk and computer are set up next to the glam station, and this is where HDCO’s photographers, Holly Douglas and Courtney Bell, will conduct their clients’ same-day Image Reveal sessions after each photoshoot.
Being one of the smaller rooms inside the studio, we were surprised by how the Office/Glam Room manages to feel cozy and intimate without feeling crowded at all. There is actually plenty of space for the photographers and hair & makeup artists to comfortably work side-by-side. We also LOVE the gorgeous natural light that pours in through our East-facing window!
Client Closet
While Miss A. was having her hair and makeup done by our talented artist, Katie, Holly got busy pulling some wardrobe options from our amazing new Client Closet! Holly has spent years curating this fabulous, size-inclusive collection of fine lingerie and accessories for our clients to borrow for their photoshoots, but she’s never been able to display this impressive collection in a way that truly does it justice…until now!
This space in the studio is actually perfect for use as our Client Closet, as it is right outside the restroom/changing room door. Holly and her husband installed this beautiful, industrial-style closet rack system, and heavy curtains were hung to separate the closet from our kitchen area.
Main Living Area
With Miss A.’s hair and makeup camera-ready and her most flattering lingerie pieces chosen, Holly decided to begin her photoshoot in our studio’s Main Living Area.
This room is so spacious that we were able to create two living room sets in one area! However, because Holly decorated both sitting areas in her trademark, maximalist/eclectic style, both sides of the room still look cohesive. This means that we can photograph either side of the room as individual sets, but also photograph the entire space as one large set. Talk about variety!
Bedroom Set
Next up for Miss A.’s boudoir session was our feminine Bedroom Set. This room faces East and is next to our Office/Glam Room, so it also receives tons of gorgeous light! However, it’s a larger room than the office and features three beautiful windows.
When decorating this set, Holly combined both modern and vintage-inspired furniture/decor to give the Bedroom Set a soft and romantic vibe.
Library / Den Set
Holly saved our favorite boudoir set (so far) for last - the Library/Den set! We’re not really sure why this particular room in our new boudoir studio has been our favorite room since day one, but it has. It faces North, just like our Main Living Area, so it receives softer, more indirect light throughout the day, which is every photographer’s dream!
Holly wanted to give this set a much more masculine vibe, so she created a Library/Den featuring a bookshelf, leather sofa, leopard print armchair, wooden coffee table, plants, and several different lamps to give the space warmth.
Photoshoot Results
Overall, we are SO pleased with the photos that were captured during our first photoshoot at the new studio,! We want to thank Miss A. for signing a Model Release and giving us permission to share some behind-the-scenes images, as well the following photos from her boudoir session at Holly Douglas & Co.’s new East Nashville luxury boudoir studio:
“Y’all!!!!! I don’t even know where begin!
This was an amazing experience. I had my session this past Friday. This is their new location and BRAND new studio that is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Like brand new, brand new!!!! I did not realize that I was the first client to have a session here. Oh it was so much more than I can describe.
🔥🔥🔥ITS GO TIME🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥 ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!🔥🔥
Are you for real!!! This BITCH is HOTT!!!! These pictures are absolutely stunning!!! I couldn’t believe just how beautiful these were. How beautiful I was in these pictures. You know sometimes it’s hard for women to take a complimentt and feel beautiful or sexy. We never see ourself through the eyes of someone else. I can not say this ENOUGH!!! DO IT!!! Don’t wait till things in life are just the way you want it or your body this way or that way. JUST MAKE THE APPOINTMENT ❤️❤️❤️,you won’t regret it. As a single mom I felt guilty for doing this for myself. I put so much into everyone else and I had been working so hard that I had said you know what, I don’t care, this is for ME and only ME. I want to put more effort in just making myself feel better about my body and my life. I’m healthy, happy and alive. I had a wonderful experience and would do it again and again!!!! These women LOVE their job and are amazing at it! Take the time, DO THIS FOR YOURSELF❤️❤️❤️”

Holly Douglas and Company is Moving to East Nashville in 2024!
We are SO EXCITED to finally announce that Holly Douglas & Co. are in the process of moving into a BEAUTIFUL new studio space located in East Nashville, Tennessee!
That's right! Beginning in 2024, Holly Douglas & Company will no longer have two separate boudoir photography studios. We are consolidating the luxury boudoir experience previously offered at the downtown Nashville studio and the classic boudoir experience previously offered at the Gallatin studio and taking things to a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL at our new East Nashville studio location!
You guys, this space is incredible, and we cannot wait to begin photographing boudoir sessions here! Trust us, the “before” pics shown below do not do it justice, nor do they show off the entire studio space. (Not pictured: A spacious restroom, a large Client Closet area, our “portrait nook,” client lounge, and a very nice, updated kitchen!)
Some Features of Holly Douglas & Company’s New Luxury Boudoir Studio in East Nashville, TN
Good lord, where do we even BEGIN?!?!
For starters, the building itself used to be an old church, so it's full of character and charm. Exposed brick and beautiful wood floors everywhere!
Secondly, our new studio is much larger than any of our previous boudoir studios! This incredible space is a whopping 1700 square-feet and contains MULTIPLE different rooms, allowing us to offer a wide variety of sets during every boudoir photoshoot! (And did we mention the gorgeous exposed brick and beautiful wood floors throughout?)
The new Holly Douglas and Co. location is in a great little neighborhood, right in the heart of East Nashville, with plenty of parking available. (BONUS!) So, during the one-hour break between your boudoir photoshoot and same-day Image Reveal, there are plenty of local shops and restaurants nearby (some within walking distance of our studio) for you to explore and enjoy!
The Holly Douglas and Co. East Nashville luxury Boudoir Studio Officially opens in January, 2024!
While we have already wrapped up the boudoir sessions for 2023 that were scheduled at the luxury downtown studio, we still have a number of 2023 boudoir sessions scheduled at our classic boudoir photography studio, Studio 110 in Gallatin, TN. If you currently have a boudoir session scheduled with us there in 2023, your photoshoot will still take place at that location. Otherwise, all future boudoir sessions, including those that have already been scheduled to take place in 2024, will all be in our new East Nashville studio, located at 1101 Chapel Avenue, Suite 202!
Watch us Transform Our New Space Into a Luxurious Boudoir Oasis!
