SO WHAT EXACTLY IS BOUDOIR?
Boudoir Photography isn’t just about taking sexy or risqué photo for a partner.It’s about feeling so good in your own skin.
It’s about honoring your body as it is right now — not five pounds from now, not after you “fix” something — but today.
It’s about seeing yourself through a lens of softness, power, and main-character energy.
Boudoir is a reclamation.
A glow-up from the inside out.
A chance to rewrite the narrative and say, “Actually… I’m incredible.”
You are allowed to love yourself.
You are allowed to feel powerful and sensual.
You are allowed to take up space and be fully seen.
This experience isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about turning up the volume on who you already are.
And, we want all of you!

WHO IS JILL
When I photographed my first boudoir session nearly 10 years ago, I was hooked instantly. I saw the women I was working with completely transform during that shoot- her confidence was on fire and she was so in the moment- it was beautiful!
Ever since then, I strive to make everyone that comes my way feel confident and beautiful in his or her own skin. I believe in boudoir and know it can and does change people's lives.
THE VISION OF BARE BY BARRILE
The vision for bare is unlike anything I have come across before.
Our vision is more than a photography shoot but an entire experience based around your truths, your values, your celebrations, your journey, your heart. We take you to a place of creative freedom where you are able to connect with your body and sensuality more intimately, vulnerable, and presently than you may ever have before.
I will always meet you where you are but my goal is to bring you to your edge. My purpose is to walk alongside those who want to connect with their truth and open up their eyes to the possibilities in their life, stand strong in who they are, and give them the space they need to meet their most empowered self.
WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO BOOK?
The time is now!
If you have been thinking about it, it's time to book.
If you are ready to do something just for yourself, it's time to book.
If you are ready to look at yourself in a whole new way, it's time to book.
If you are ready to celebrate and give love to you body, it's time to book.
If you are ready to tap into your sensuality, it's time to book.
Boudoir has a way of healing scars, showing us how beautiful we are, and lifting us up to a place beyond the clouds.
Boudoir is Real, Empowering, and Incredible Exhilarating!!

The Space - Posing - The Timeline
Prepare to be completely taken out of your head… and into your body.
Many clients walk in feeling a little shy, a little nervous, maybe wondering, “What did I sign up for?” And, every single one walks out glowing — lighter, stronger, more confident than when they arrived.
There’s a shift that happens here.
It’s hard to explain because it’s not something you think your way into — it’s something you feel. If I had to describe it, it’s like reaching the top of a mountain and finally taking in the view. Like the rush after accomplishing something you didn’t think you could do. Like a really good workout… followed by the deep exhale of a spa day.
It’s empowering.
It’s energizing.
It’s grounding.
And it stays with you long after the session ends. ✨
The Space
Our studio space is located at 567 Exchange Street just outside the city in Larkinville. The building is a large industrial space and home to many other local businesses and artist. Our space features large natural window light, 4 different sets, a spacious dressing room, photo viewing area, and studio light set up. Based off a clients request, we can convert the space to the ascetic of your choice.
Want to go somewhere else? Some girls prefer to book a specific location for their boudoir session. Other locations might include: airbnb, hotel, inside the home, or outside in nature.
Why would you want to do the sessions anywhere else? Doing the photo session inside your home- brings a whole other level of comfort and spiciness to your images. The same can be for a hotel or airbnb location. Maybe you want to rent out a cabin for a weekend. Nothing screams sexier than planning a weekend away to get naked in the woods- either solo or with a partner.

Allow me to offer you some advice:
Take a thousand, naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky."
Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies."
But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say,
"Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!"
- Moira Rose
Now, Let's Prepare!
Wardrobe - Shopping - Mindset
Let’s Talk Wardrobe
First, if it makes you feel hott, bring it! Something you feel confident and fierce in is always my go to recommendation. But lets get down to the nitty gritty.
Best colors: Neutral colors (black, white, tan, nude, and blush) or dark colors (burgundy, navy, emerald, plum, grey, berry)
Style: bodysuits, crop top/bra & panties, high waisted panties, tight fitting tank tops, tight fitting slip dresses, shaper slips, bralettes
Shoes: I will recommend bringing a pair of house heels with you. These could be as simple as black wedges to sparkly thigh high. Bring whatever you are most comfortable in and fits your style. Not a heels girl? Go barefoot! I want you to be as comfortable as possible.
Extras: Want to add more to your look? Fishnet/ stockings, jewelry, robes, hats, etc.
Remember these are all suggestions. The most important thing is for you to feel comfortable and confident- because that is truly what sexy is! If you feel amazing in overalls and a trucker hat- girl, we will rock that out!
Where to shop?
Here is a list of some of my favorite lingerie shops and websites:
Frame of Mind
I believe mindset is everything! Getting yourself prepared and in the right frame of mind can make all the difference. Here are some things you can do to mentally and physically prepare for this really exciting experience.
Meditation & Intention Setting
Take a few moments before your session to soften into the experience of boudoir and intimacy. This is more than a photoshoot — it’s a moment to connect with yourself.
If meditation feels supportive, here are a few guided options to explore:
Option 1: Get Your Glow On
Option 2: 5 Minute Morning for Positive Energy
Option 3: Relaxing into Receiving
Option 4: Connect to your Body
Never meditated before? Don’t love it? That’s completely okay.
Instead, create a quiet pocket of time just for you. Sit somewhere comfortable. Take a few slow breaths. And gently reflect:
Why am I choosing to do this?
What feels tender or vulnerable for me right now?
What am I worried about?
What do I desire from this experience?
How do I want to feel when I walk away?
There is no “right” way to prepare. The intention is simply to arrive.
Movement
Boudoir is more physical than most people expect. You’ll be arching, reaching, rolling, pointing, and flowing through poses that engage muscles you might not use every day — especially in your lower back and hips.
If stretching isn’t already part of your routine, I recommend starting a few weeks before your session. Even 5–10 minutes a few times a week can make a big difference in how comfortable and confident you feel.
Giving a little extra love to your lower back, hips, and hamstrings will:
Support deeper, more fluid posing
Help your body move more naturally
Reduce next-day soreness (yes, you might feel it 😉)
Here are two great videos to help you release and prepare your body:
Lower Body Flow
Hip Opening Practice
You can think of this as preparing your body to feel strong, open, and supported to get your feeling connected and strong.
Playlist
Music sets the tone for your entire session. It can help you relax, drop into your body, feel sensual, playful, powerful — or completely hyped up.
I always have music playing during our time together because it helps shift you out of your head and into your body. The right playlist can change everything.
You’re welcome to create your own playlist that makes you feel like that woman… or you can explore a few of mine:
Sensuality

Alive with Love
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5qJSRQiyfhPhGyHaljhcpk
Boudoir Time
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5BhHVuGkruDnSLhwcxkpH4
Pro tip: Start listening a few days before your session while getting ready, driving, or stretching. Let your body begin to associate those songs with confidence, softness, and desire.
Music isn’t just background noise — it’s part of your transformation.
Intention
Sometimes it really is as simple as saying something out loud to yourself.
Affirmations are powerful because they interrupt old narratives and gently guide your mind back to the truth of who you are. I use them often to stay grounded, focused, and present — especially when I’m stepping into something that feels vulnerable or expansive.
Your boudoir session is not just about photos. It’s about how you feel in your body. It’s about rewriting stories. It’s about claiming space.
You can create your own affirmation, or borrow one of these:
I am safe in my body.
I am allowed to take up space.
I am powerful and soft at the same time.
I trust myself.
I am worthy of being seen.
My body is art.
I deserve pleasure, confidence, and joy.
If affirmations feel new to you, try pairing them with journaling. Here are a few prompts to explore before your session:
Journal Prompts:
- What story about my body am I ready to release?
- When do I feel most confident and alive?
- What parts of myself am I learning to love more deeply?
- If I fully trusted myself, how would I show up in this session?
- How do I want to feel when I look at these images years from now?
Set an intention. Speak it. Write it. Repeat it.
This experience meets you exactly where you are!
Intimacy Coaching
Your boudoir session is not just about how you look — it’s about how you feel. Because of my background in trauma-informed work, somatics, and intimacy coaching, I don’t just pose you. I guide you. I help you soften, breathe, open, and connect to yourself in real time.
Intimacy coaching can beautifully complement your photo session because it helps you:
Feel safer and more grounded in your body
Release performance pressure
Deepen self-trust
Explore sensuality in a way that feels aligned
Move from “trying to look good” to actually feeling turned on, confident, and embodied
When you feel connected internally, it shows externally. The images become less about angles and more about energy.
If you’d like to go deeper before your session, I offer optional 1:1 coaching calls designed to prepare you emotionally and energetically.
On this call, we can:
Explore any nerves or body stories coming up
Clarify your intention for the session
Identify what makes you feel most powerful and alive
Create personalized affirmations or embodiment practices
Set the tone for the experience you desire
This is especially supportive if this session marks a new chapter — healing, reclaiming your body, celebrating growth, leaving a relationship, entering one, or simply choosing yourself.
You don’t have to do this alone.
If you feel called to add a coaching session before your shoot.
More Pampering, Please!
Your boudoir session is the perfect excuse to treat yourself.
This is your permission slip to slow down, nourish your body, and make this an experience — not just a photoshoot.
Bonus Appointments:
In the weeks leading up to your session, consider booking one (or a few) supportive appointments that help you feel relaxed, confident, and cared for:
Hair refresh or blowout
Nail appointment (hands + toes)
Massage
Reiki or energy work
Waxing or grooming
Sauna or steam session
Facial or skincare treatment
Tanning
None of this is required. You are already enough.
But these small rituals can help you:
Release tension
Feel polished and intentional
Drop into your body
Create a sense of ceremony around this experience
Think of it as building momentum. When you invest in yourself beforehand, you show up differently.
And remember — this isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning what nourishes you.
If you choose to book anything, try scheduling it a few weeks or days before your session (especially waxing or facials) to give your body time to settle.
Let it feel luxurious.
Jill has a natural eye for capturing you at your best angles to make you get that feel for the session you are looking for. She listens to all your concerns and had me going: oh my DAMN! When I saw all the photos. I was like, these are great!
I booked my session specifically to get a book made to give to my partner next month for our anniversary, and I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he opens it up. I’m so incredibly thrilled with the results from my time in the studio, and I highly recommend this wonderful team for all your boudoir needs and ideas!

The Consultation
Have questions, let's chat! I'd love to hear more about what you're looking for, walk you through the process, and answer any questions you may have. Want to do something different? This is the time to let your imagination go wild.
Bring me your ideas, your style, and your inner GODDESS. I want to hear it all.
Not really sure what you want? I am happy to discuss ideas with you and stylize a look that will exemplify you and your desires. I like to emphasis open communication so both you and I can be completely comfortable.
F&Q
Do you retouch the photos?
Yes- but not all of them! Only the images that you purchase or print will be retouched to correct minor imperfections (such as pimples, unusual markings, redness in the skin, etc) I want you too look like you in the end so these touch ups are usually quite minimal
Do you have payment plans for products?
If you opt for a payment plan, you must pay 25% of your total during your reveal and the remainder will be set up for a recurring payments for up to 3 months. I also offer Pre-payment plans so you can get started paying for your images before your shoot + cut down on wait time. More Info about our pre payment plans here!
What do I wear?
Where what makes you feel good! You don't have to dress like anyone else but yourself! That could look like high end lingerie or jeans and t-shirt. You decide what feels most like you!
If I don't purchase my images at my reveal, can I come back later and get them?
We want to make sure that you get your absolute favorite images, so we will keep your entire gallery on file for 30 days after your reveal for anything you may have missed. After that, we will deactivate your gallery, so make sure you get 'em while you can!! Or pay the $150.00 re-activation fee
Do you shoot on location?
Provided I can approve the space beforehand this is definitely an option. Ample natural light is preferred. I also love shooting outdoors if that is something you want to do!
Can I get naked?
Absolutely. If you are comfortable, I suggest going naked for part of your session. It can be very liberating and hey, one less outfit your need to worry about.
Feeling a little nervous?
That's totally normal!
Here are 5 reasons to conquer your nerves and book your shoot today:
