5 Unique Boudoir Photoshoot Ideas
When it comes to boudoir photography, stepping outside the traditional "bedroom" box can lead to some of the most creative, empowering, and downright fun photoshoots you’ve ever imagined. At Holly Douglas & Co., we believe that boudoir photography should be as unique as you are, which is why we offer a variety of boudoir session experience upgrades. These are designed to help you express your personality, fantasies, and style in ways that go beyond the standard boudoir sets.
If you want to take your Nashville boudoir session to the next level, here are 5 unique boudoir photoshoot ideas featuring our current most popular boudoir session upgrades to inspire you!
1. Shower/Bathtub Set: A Sensual Escape
Imagine yourself enveloped in a steamy, sensual environment where every droplet of water accentuates your curves and every shadow falls across your body in the most flattering ways possible. The Shower/Bathtub Set is one of our most popular boudoir photoshoot upgrades, and it’s easy to see why. There’s something incredibly alluring about capturing those intimate moments in the shower or bath as water cascades down your skin.
To make this experience even more luxurious, Holly Douglas & Co. has partnered with a local Airbnb that’s just a stone’s throw away from our luxury boudoir studio in East Nashville, TN. This modern home boasts a stunning luxury bathroom that’s bathed in the most gorgeous natural light, making it the perfect setting for your steamy boudoir session (no pun intended). The combination of a beautiful setting and glistening wet skin makes this sexy photoshoot idea perfect for those who want to explore their sensual side in a unique and sophisticated way.
Whether you’re soaking in the tub or standing under a rain shower with water streaming down your body, this set is all about embracing your sensuality in a way that feels both natural and incredibly sexy.
2. Adult Playroom Set: Embrace Your Bold Side
For those looking for photoshoot ideas that will push the boundaries of a traditional boudoir session, the Adult Playroom Set offers an opportunity to explore a more adventurous side. Inspired by the provocative themes of 50 Shades of Grey, this set is perfect for those who want to bring a little more edge to their boudoir photos.
Imagine a candlelit room with a selection of adult accessories hanging on the wall that adds just the right amount of intensity to your session. The set features the Fashion Fetish Leather Swing by Honey Birdette, perfectly positioned in front of a mirror to capture daring and dynamic poses, as well as a variety of BDSM props that can be incorporated in your boudoir photos to reflect your personal style and desires. The crowning touch to this set is a neon sign that reads, "Yes, Please," setting the tone for a boudoir session that’s both playful and empowering.
Whether you’re exploring themes of dominance or submission, or simply want to capture the thrill of trying something new, the Adult Playroom Set is designed to make you feel confident and in control. It’s a space where you can experiment with different aspects of your personality, and every shot will reflect the boldness of your spirit. This boudoir set is perfect for those who want their sexy photoshoot to be as daring and dynamic as they are.
3. Couture Robe Set: Elegance Meets Seduction
Sometimes, the simplest additions can make the biggest impact. Enter the Couture Robe Set—a boudoir experience upgrade that’s all about luxury, elegance, and a touch of drama. At Holly Douglas & Co., we’re proud to offer a stunning selection of size-inclusive luxe Couture Robes in our Client Closet, each one designed to add that extra touch of elegance to your boudoir photos.
Whether you’re channeling the opulent vibes of a mob wife or the timeless glamour and drama of Old Hollywood, our Couture Robes are the perfect accessory to elevate your look. Wear them over your favorite lingerie or, for a bolder statement, drape one over nothing at all. Our robes come in a variety of styles and colors, allowing you to choose the one that best reflects your personality and the mood you want to capture.
The Couture Robe Set is ideal for those who want to add a layer of sophistication to their boudoir session without sacrificing any of the sensuality. This is a sexy photoshoot idea that will make you feel as beautiful as you look, with each image showcasing the elegance and confidence you bring to the session.
4. Gold Foil Set: Where Art Meets Intimacy
For those who appreciate the intersection of art and boudoir photography, the Gold Foil Set offers a unique and visually stunning experience. This unique boudoir photoshoot idea is all about transforming your body into a canvas, with delicate gold foil leaf applied to your skin to create an effect that’s both artistic and dramatic.
While you do not have to be nude to enjoy this set, the Gold Foil Set is particularly striking when used in nude bodyscapes, where the foil enhances the natural contours of your body and catches the light in ways that add depth and dimension to each shot.
This boudoir session upgrade is perfect for those who want to create images that are not only sexy but also deeply artistic. The Gold Foil Set is about celebrating the beauty of your body in a way that feels both intimate and visually captivating. It’s a unique experience that results in photos that are as much a work of art as they are a reflection of your inner beauty.
5. Neon Blacklight Set: A Fun Burst of Color
If you’re looking for a unique boudoir photoshoot idea that’s as fun as it is daring, the Neon Blacklight Set is the perfect choice. This set is all about color, light, and a little bit of playfulness, creating an atmosphere that’s vibrant and electric.
Get ready to play with body paint, try on some glowing accessories, and immerse yourself in a world where everything glows! The Neon Blacklight Set is a little messy, a lot of fun, and guaranteed to result in some of the most unique boudoir photos you’ve ever seen. It’s perfect for those who want to add a playful, colorful twist to their session, with every shot bursting with energy and excitement.

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❤️❤️❤️”
