DESIGN NOTE:
Don't worry, this is a hidden canvas. You can delete it after you read this. FYI, this top section is going to look strange, but it functions beautifully in the live preview, so don't delete the second section that appears blank / to have a weird gap! It's so the text will load over it beautifully.
Since the text is white and hard to see, just briefly turn the text black to edit, then back to white, or you can make it black and change the top background colors instead! — Jen
BOUDOIR x
Rachel Sakakeeny Photography
Boudoir (and more) for the bold.
New website coming soon...
Good things come to those who wait.
Thanks for visiting my boudoir page! You may have noticed that I gave my "non-spicy" photography website a complete overhaul. Everything is new, from the design to the content. I'm honestly so happy with how it turned out.
BUT I feel like my boudoir business deserves its own website, which is why I'm currently re-doing my entire boudoir website to feature an all new design, content, reviews, and photos! The website will be integrated with my main site that you're on right now so that you can easily browse both sites if you want.
However, I don't want to leave you hanging, so I made a temporary website with some basic information that will hopefully give you a sense of what a boudoir session with me is like.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any inquiries, questions, or comments! I promise the new site will be worth the wait!

A sneak peek of some of the photos you'll see on my new website...
boudoir
let's go, girls!
When I tell you that your boudoir session will be really, really fun, I mean it!!! I totally understand that boudoir can seem intimidating, but I PROMISE you will do amazing!
I'll be there to help you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience with personalized posing guidance tailored to your body type and personal preferences. I'll get down on the floor, on the bed, ass up in the air, back arched...whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable, I'll do it! Because I'm not just your photographer—I'm also your personal posing coach!
Trust me, every single person I've worked with has told me I made them feel comfortable and confident during their boudoir shoot, and I have a feeling you will, too.
nude/implied
time to let loose...
A nude photoshoot is one of the best ways to get in touch with your inner goddess. There’s something so liberating about shedding your clothes and just letting go. Nervous? Don’t be! My goal with every session is to make you feel absolutely incredible and comfortable. Your session will be an unforgettable, empowering experience. Whether you ditch all of your clothes or tempt and tease with a little peek-a-boo moment, you're going to look great.
couples
this is where it gets really fun
Look, I get it: life's busy. It can be hard to prioritize time with your partner. Sometimes schedules become booked, and whether we want to admit it or not, date nights can start to feel repetitive. We’ve all been there.
Luckily, I have a solution for you: a custom couple’s session designed exclusively for you and your partner. These sessions are all about celebrating your chemistry in a fun and safe environment. I’ve got you covered whether you want soft and romantic photos or sultry and sexy images. Regardless of the vibe you’re going for, I guarantee that you’ll leave the session feeling closer to your partner than ever.
fetish wear
take a walk on the wild side
Okay, so this style of photography doesn’t technically fit into the “boudoir” photography genre, but it’s too risqué for the rest of my website. Plus, fetish wear blends into lingerie…kind of sort of, right?
Anyway, I really enjoy shooting fetish wear because it’s a great way for clients and models to be creative and show off their fashion sense. And honestly, who doesn't like to get a little wild? If you enjoy rocking latex or PVC, reach out to me so we can create some spicy shots!
“I’ve never done a boudoir shoot before and was nervous going into my first shoot. Rachel was absolutely incredible, made me feel beyond comfortable and is THE biggest hype woman! I’ve worked with a lot of photographers but Rachel by far takes the cake with how professional, visionary, passionate, and excited [she is] about her work and subject. I cannot recommend working with her enough!! I will be booking again.”
— Ivy
“If there were more stars, I’d give more! Rachel has been the sweetest and most comfortable person to work with. I did my first time “boudoir” shoot with Rachel and I'm so happy I chose her. The process to book, and everything after was SMOOTH! Aside from her great customer care, she takes phenomenal pictures. Like WOW.. her prices include a large variety of pictures, which many of us know, most photographers do not offer. I cannot wait to work with Rachel again! Thanks again for all your hard work and commitment! I will be referring all friends and family.”
— Mariana
“Rachel was FANTASTIC to work with! She was so sweet and encouraging the entire time. She kept the shoot moving along so there was never a dull moment but at the same time it felt very relaxed! Not to mention, she is incredibly talented and I am obsessed with the photos.”
—Jazmyn
HOW IT WORKS
Get Those Creative Juices Flowing
The consultation is all about the star of the photoshoot: you!
During our conversation, I'll take the time to get to know you better and understand your unique vision. Have a special request or a wild photoshoot idea? Let me know! I love creating custom-tailored photoshoot experiences. Seriously, there are no wrong questions. Let me know what's on your mind!
By the end of our chat, you’ll feel confident about your session knowing that I’ve got your back.
Let's Get It Started In Here
Once you decide on your ideal session, I’ll send over a photography contract, deposit request, and a payment schedule. To make the process easy for you, all of the documents and payments will be sent electronically via email. After that, I can begin planning your session!
Preparation Is Key
My mom always taught me to plan ahead, and boudoir photography is no exception to that. I understand that for some people, planning a boudoir photoshoot may be a little intimidating.
That’s why I’ve got you covered: I’ll take care of all the planning, but you're more than welcome to send me photos of your outfits or a Pinterest board for inspiration. I'm all about collaboration, so don't be shy! I want to see what you've got! Oh, and I’m always happy to give lingerie recommendations based on the studio colors, your budget, etc.
BRING YOUR FANTASY TO LIFE
Now comes the fun part: the photoshoot, aka your big day! You may feel nervous, or excited, or both. All of those emotions are completely normal. But…that’s the beauty of a boudoir session: you don’t have to know what you’re doing and you don’t have to be a model!! That’s why you hired a professional to help you look and feel amazing (hi, that’s me!). I will be there to direct you and hype you up every step of the way.
Don’t know how to pose? No problem. I will gladly put the camera down and physically show you different poses. I joke that I always end up on the floor at some point during a photoshoot (I’m alllllll about getting those angles).
Need some extra courage? I’ve got you covered with a personally curated sexy playlist to help you feel sensual and bold.
My intention with every photoshoot is to make sure that you are comfortable and 100% satisfied with your experience. If there is anything I can do to make your experience better, please let me know.
THAT'S HOT
So, you’ve just finished your photoshoot and you’re dying to see the final product. I am, too! I'll personally look through the entire gallery and hand-select the images that make you look your best. After that, I’ll work some photo editing magic to ensure that your images look incredible. My editing process is very natural with true-to-life skin tones and gorgeous colors, because you deserve to look as amazing in your photos as you do in person.
Gallery delivery time depends on my current workload (generally 1-3 weeks). Upon completion, I'll upload a selection of high-resolution digital images to a secure online gallery. From there, you'll be able to print your images as you wish!
All sessions include a selection of edited digital images—I do NOT charge extra for digital photos, nor do I sell digital images! This ultimately saves you a LOT of money in the long run.
The number of images that I deliver depends on the length of your session (1 hour, 1.5 hours, etc.). More time shooting means more images for you!
“Rachel is by far my favorite photographer I’ve worked with as a professional model in DFW."

"If you are looking to book a boudoir photographer, Rachel will do a fantastic job!”

You Should Know...
I do things a little differently around here.
I’ll be totally honest: I deliver a lot of photos. Like, more than most boudoir photographers would consider “acceptable” for the price point. But you know what? You deserve to have variety in your gallery. You’re investing your own time and money into the photoshoot, so I’m going to invest the time into your gallery and make sure that you have a generous selection of images to choose from. Is this crazy of me? Maybe, but I’ve never had a client complain that I delivered too many photos.
You shouldn't have to overpay for amazing photos.
Most boudoir photographers require that you purchase prints, albums, and digital images through them. This can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars in addition to the session fee. At Boudoir x Rachel Sakakeeny Photography, you will never have to pay extra to download your images and you will never be required to purchase products through me. To put it simply, I do not sell individual images, nor do I force you to buy products (this saves you a TON of money; trust me, I’ve done my market research).
It's about damn time you invest in yourself.
So, what’s the investment? Boudoir and fetish wear sessions cost $350 plus tax for one hour (excluding studio costs—see below). This includes the session time with professional posing guidance and an online gallery of professionally edited images with full printing rights (about 50-60 images per hour of shooting time). Trust me, the investment in yourself is worth it. The confidence you'll feel during and after your session is a total game-changer. So grab your favorite lingerie or best latex look and let's get started!
So many studios, so many choices!
Please note that studios are an additional charge. However, I have a lot of connections with studio owners in the area and can usually get you a pretty good deal! There are SO many cute studio options available in the DFW area. Some of the studio options in the area range from cute and flirty, soft and romantic, bold and edgy, and kinky and sexy. Studios generally range in price from $75-$150 per hour.
Have an idea or theme in mind? Feel free to let me know so I can find the perfect studio fit! I also offer tasteful outdoor sessions if you prefer to skip the studio.
A La Carte:
additional 30 minutes added to your session
- Add on $75 for an additional 30 minutes (Studio costs are extra. Please note that some studios only book in 1-hour increments.)
additional hour added to your session
- Add on $175 for an additional hour (studio costs are extra).
