Boudoir x Rachel Sakakeeny Photography

Boudoir for the bold.

Empowered. Sexy. Provocative.

Embrace your wild side with a personalized boudoir photoshoot tailored just for you! These sultry sessions are all about capturing your unique beauty and sensuality in a comfortable, encouraging environment. I’m here to help you feel confident no matter what!

Think about it: When was the last time you did something for yourself? If you’re anything like me, it has been awhile. No worries, though. This is the perfect opportunity to invest in yourself. Let me show you why…

Why Boudoir?

Maybe you’ve never heard of boudoir before and you’re wondering how to pronounce the term (I’ve been there!). Or perhaps you’ve always wanted to try a sexy photography session, but your nerves got in the way of going through with it. Either way, here are a few reasons why boudoir is right for you:

  • Exploring your sexuality is downright empowering. Whether you book a solo session or a photoshoot with your partner, I guarantee that you will leave the session feeling confident and bold.

  • Taking time to feel good in your skin is healthy for your mind and body. The experience you’ll have with me in front of the camera will be incredible, but it only lasts so long. However, the gorgeous photographs you’ll receive will last forever. Why not invest in yourself for now and the future?

  • Boudoir is a great opportunity to celebrate milestones in your life. Maybe you’re pregnant and want to commemorate your new baby with a stunning maternity session. Or perhaps you want to recognize reaching a certain age, weight, or other important achievement. Regardless of the reason, a boudoir photoshoot is the perfect chance to treat yourself.

  • Boudoir isn’t just for the ladies—everyone can join in on the fun, too! Oh, and did you know that I also offer sessions for couples? That’s right: you and your partner can have your own spicy photoshoot. Talk about bonding on another level…

Do yourself a favor and indulge in the art of boudoir photography. Trust me: you’re worth it.

SERVICES OFFERED

Boudoir

Let’s go, girls!

Believe it or not, boudoir photography has been around for over 100 years! These sessions traditionally feature a female wearing lingerie or risqué clothing in a studio specially designed for intimate photoshoots. Other women prefer to empower themselves by ditching the garments and going nude.

However you choose to dress (or undress), is your choice. You can wear as little or as much as you like! Either way, I will be there to help you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience with personalized posing guidance tailored to your body type. At the end of the day, this session is all about celebrating YOU and where you are at in life, not about pleasing me. You’re the star of the show; I’m just along for the ride.

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.

Nude/Implied

This is where it gets really fun…

Look, I get it: life is 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 significant other. 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.

Couples Boudoir

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. If you enjoy wearing latex or PVC, reach out to me so we can create some magic!

Fetish Wear 

THE EXPERIENCE…

Consultation

  • The consultation is all about the star of the photoshoot: you!

    During our conversation, I will 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.

    By the end of our chat, you’ll feel confident about your session knowing that I’ve got your back.

Proposal + Payment

  • 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!

Planning

  • My mom always taught me to plan ahead, and boudoir photography is no exception to that. For your convenience, I’ll send you a guide full of helpful information, like outfit ideas, hair and makeup inspiration, and tips to help you feel excited about your upcoming session.

    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 are more than welcome to send me photos of your outfits or a Pinterest board with photos for inspiration. I’m always happy to give lingerie recommendations based on the studio colors, your budget, etc.

The Photoshoot

  • 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. Believe me, I felt nervous during my own boudoir shoot. I can easily direct clients all day long, but when it comes to getting in front of the camera, I will admit that I don’t really know what I’m doing!

    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.

Gallery Delivery

  • So, you’ve just finished your photoshoot and you’re dying to see the final product. I am, too!

    I will 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 as you do in your photos as you do in person.

    Gallery delivery time depends on my current workload and add-on services, such as retouching. Upon completion, I will upload a selection of high-resolution digital images to a secure online gallery. From there, you can either buy prints through my shop or purchase them on your own.

    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!

THE INVESTMENT…

You should know that I do things a little differently 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.

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).

So, what’s the investment? Boudoir and fetish wear sessions cost $350 plus tax for one hour. This includes the session time with professional posing guidance and an online gallery of professionally edited images. My aim is to make every single session a fun, empowering, and comfortable experience!

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. Have an idea or theme in mind? Feel free to let me know so I can find the perfect studio fit! I also offer outdoor sessions if you prefer to skip the studio.

Reviews from some of my amazing boudoir babes…

  • Ivy

    “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 about her work and subject. I cannot recommend working with her enough!! I will be booking again :)”

  • Mariana

    “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.”

I highly recommend everyone to book with her. She’s efficient, and very responsive and knowledgeable. Not only that but she’s got a quick turn around for photos and is a true professional with a great personality. I can’t wait to work with her again in the near future!”

  • Jazmyn

Get to Know Me

Hi there,

I’m Rachel Sakakeeny, your local badass boudoir photographer and personal hype girl. My passion for boudoir photography really comes from my love of lingerie and romance books. It’s kind of an odd combination, I know, but I’ve found that both of those elements have really helped me embrace my sexuality and inner confidence. There’s something so empowering about putting on a piece of lacy fabric or reading a good book. I don’t know how else to describe it other than as a freeing experience.

I’ve known about boudoir photography for quite some time, but I’ve always admired it from afar, hoping that I could find the courage to create my own boudoir brand one day. It wasn’t until I started a photography business that I realized that I could take my newfound boldness and combine it with my love of photography.

I know that boudoir sessions can be intimidating or downright scary for some people. After all, trusting a stranger with your most intimate self can be difficult. I’ve been there before, so I get it. That’s why I’m here to help you out every step of the way.

I’ve always considered myself to be a pretty chill, non-judgmental person, and my boudoir clients agree. I’m not here to rate your outfits or judge your posing. It’s not my job to critique your body or analyze your facial expressions. That’s not what boudoir is about at all. It’s about embracing and honoring yourself no matter where you’re at in life. More importantly, it’s about loving yourself enough to take time to step back and focus on yourself for a change.

I’m on a personal mission to help others find their inner confidence and embrace their sexuality. Won’t you join me? Give yourself the gift of boudoir today.

 FAQs

  • No! You are more than welcome to purchase products from me, but you are NOT required to. You can design your own album or print photos on your own if you'd like. I am also happy to help you design an album or recommend products.

    I highly, highly recommend using a professional print lab because the colors and lighting will be accurate (my favorite lab is Nations Photo Lab). In my opinion, print shops like CVS and Walgreens typically mess up the colors and make the images look really dull.

  • I have connections with several amazing hair and makeup artists! I can set you up with one of my preferred artists or you are welcome to do your own hair and makeup.

    However, I highly recommend hiring a pro to do your hair and makeup. This will ensure that you get to relax and feel pampered on the big day! Plus, the pros know how to get that effortlessly sexy "boudoir look" that pops on camera!

  • I understand that some clients may want their images retouched for a variety of reasons. Although retouching is not included in the session cost, it is available for an additional fee. This helps keep session prices lower!

    Examples of retouching include: smoothing skin, removing acne, brightening eyes and teeth, removing flyaway hairs, etc.

  • Boudoir photos are generally taken in a photography studio specially fitted with a bed and other furniture that will help enhance your boudoir experience. The studio you book depends on the type of vibe you’re going for.

    Do you want to feel sultry and sexy or fun and playful? Luxe and glamorous or laid back and chill? Either way, you’re in luck because the DFW area has a ton of great studio options to choose from and I know all of the good spots!

    I will personally help you find a studio that fits your price range and overall look. Some studios have unique features, like a heart shaped bath tub or a kinky swing, so feel free to let me know if you are looking for something in particular.

    I also offer outdoor boudoir sessions!

  • Absolutely! I have shot nudity many times and am very comfortable doing so. I believe that it’s a great way of expressing oneself that should be celebrated, not criticized.

    However, I will only shoot nudity if the following conditions are met:

    -The client is over 18 years old

    -The studio allows nudity

    -The client is comfortable shooting nude

    I take your privacy seriously, which is why I will not post uncensored images online without your explicit written permission (ex: images clearly showing genitals, nipples, etc.). I will, however, provide you with a secure online gallery where you can view and download the uncensored images.

  • The minimum session length I offer is 1 hour. I highly suggest booking for at least 1.5 hours if you have several outfits that you want to change into. This will ensure that you have enough time to switch outfits without feeling rushed. However, the session length is totally up to you!

    Some studios require booking in 1-hour increments (1 hour, 2 hours, etc.). I will work with you to find the perfect studio to fit your needs.
