Unlocking the Secrets of a Stunning Boudoir Photoshoot
Boudoir photography is an intimate and empowering experience—one that celebrates confidence, beauty, and self-love. Whether it’s a gift for yourself, a partner, or a milestone celebration, a boudoir session is about more than just stunning images—it’s about feeling incredible in your own skin.
At my Wausau, Wisconsin boudoir studio, I’ve crafted an experience that makes my sessions highly sought after. From the moment you inquire to the final delivery of your images, my approach is designed to ensure you feel comfortable, excited, and beautifully seen.
Let’s dive into some of the secrets that make my boudoir sessions stunning and how I create breathtaking images you’ll treasure forever.
Thoughtful Planning & Communication
Every boudoir session begins with a conversation. From the moment you inquire, I take the time to understand your vision, comfort level, and what excites (or even scares) you about the experience. It’s equally important that you’re getting to know me and feel comfortable and confident with me as your photographer. That means even if there are lingering nerves or fears you can take a deep breath and say “I know I’m in good hands with Kelly Jacobi Photography”
To help guide you every step of the way as we plan an amazing boudoir session for you, I provide:
✔ A personalized client questionnaire - This is an important first step that kicks off planning. This helps me get to know you, allows you to tell me your hopes and fears, we talk about preferences for the sessions, and more!
✔ A comprehensive Welcome Guide, Prep Guide, Hair & Make Up Guide, and a Boudoir Style Guide – These guides are here so you always feel supported and know what’s coming next. They are packed with tips on outfit selection, self-care before your session, hair & make up tips, and what to expect on the big day.
✔ Pre-session communication – You’ll never feel lost! I’m available to answer questions and offer guidance throughout the planning process.
Wardrobe & Styling That Compliments Every Body …and the client closet everyone loves!
One of the biggest concerns many clients have is “What should I wear?” Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered!
Client Closet Access – My client closet includes over 300+ stunning peices. I have sizes ranging from xs - 4x and am always adding and expanding my closet. I offer a collection of stunning, body-flattering lingerie pieces, robes, tees, vintage pieces, angel wings, couture robes, bodysuits, body jewelry and more!
Personal Styling Help – I guide you in choosing the best outfits that highlight your shape and make you feel confident. Whether you prefer sultry lace, a cozy oversized sweater, or even a tasteful nude look, we’ll curate the perfect wardrobe for you. Want to bring something of you own? I’m here to help with that too! I have a list of shop recommendations and style tips. You have my expertise and experience to help guide you.
The Session Experience – Posing, Lighting & Set Options
This is where the magic happens! I specialize in guiding clients—no modeling experience required!
Posing Guidance: Many clients worry, “What if I don’t know how to pose?” But that’s my job! I coach you through every movement, from soft, natural expressions to poses that highlight your best features. You’ll never feel awkward or unsure—I promise!
Signature Studio Sets & Locations: My private studio features multiple styled sets, from romantic soft-lit bedding to dramatic moody backdrops. Looking for something extra unique? I also offer specialty sets (themed and limited edition setups) and breathtaking outdoor boudoir locations; imagine golden-hour sessions in a field, by a secluded lake, or even amidst stunning fall foliage.
Post-Production: Bringing Out Your Natural Beauty
After the session, I take great care in editing to enhance your images while keeping them classic, timeless, and true to you.
Natural & Trend-Proof Editing – My editing style is elegant and classic, avoiding trendy filters or color grading that could make your images feel outdated in a few years.
Skin Perfection, Not Alteration – I remove temporary blemishes like pimples, bruises, and scratches, but I do not reshape bodies. Your beauty isn’t something that needs altering—instead I have expertise in flattering lighting, posing, and styling that highlights your best features.
Fast Turnaround Time – You’ll see your full gallery in just a few days, with any purchased digital images available immediately and print products arriving within two weeks.
Client Love: Why They Chose Me

The way she guided me through posing took away all my worries—I never once felt awkward! Seeing my final images brought me to tears. I can’t believe that’s ME!"
💬 Client Testimonial – Anna
"I booked my session as a wedding gift for my fiancé, but honestly, it ended up being a gift for myself. The whole experience was so empowering. I chose her because her work always feels classic and elegant, never forced or over-edited. She captured ME, and that’s what I love the most!"
