I can’t think of any better way to get in touch with your sensuality and become your most confident self than to do a boudoir session. Let’s dive into how Earthly Venus can guide you to discover your own seductive charm through New York City Boudoir.

My name is Haley Snyder, and I’m a boudoir photographer here in the city. I’m excited to guide you through discovering your own seductive charm. I’ve dedicated my work to creating boudoir experiences that are deeply personal and empowering to everyone who walks into my studio. For me, boudoir is about so much more than just taking photos — it’s about building confidence, celebrating your individuality, and embracing your authentic beauty. I’ve designed my sessions to be safe, inclusive, and transformative, so every client feels comfortable, valued, and empowered. Let’s talk about your own boudoir journey and how you can fully embrace it.

Understanding Boudoir Photography

What is Boudoir Photography?

Boudoir photography is an intimate art form, designed to celebrate beauty, elegance, and the power of self-confidence. At Earthly Venus, we approach boudoir as a deeply personal experience—one that is all about you. It’s about telling your story, whether that’s through classic poses that exude timeless glamour or raw, candid shots that let you indulge in your sensuality.

Contrary to popular belief, boudoir isn’t about meeting a certain standard of "sexy." It’s about embracing your individuality. It’s about celebrating the curves, lines, and features that make you uniquely you. At Earthly Venus, we strive to create an experience where you feel seen, cherished, and empowered to express your authentic self.

The Earthly Venus Approach

So, what sets Earthly Venus apart? We believe in offering more than just a photo shoot; we provide an experience that is entirely tailored to you. From the moment you reach out, we take the time to understand your vision, preferences, and comfort levels. We’ll work together to create a setting that matches your style—whether it’s classic glamour, vintage, kinky or something totally unique. Our goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and artistic environment where you can feel completely at ease being yourself.

Discovering Your Unique Boudoir Style

One of the most exciting aspects of boudoir photography is the chance to explore different aesthetics and find the one that resonates with you most. At Earthly Venus, we work with you to curate a style that expresses your personality.

Exploring Different Aesthetics with Earthly Venus

Here are a few classic styles our clients adore:

  • Classic Glamour: Feeling beautiful doesn’t always have to mean being a full-on seductress. Sometimes a more modest. glamour shoot in some beautiful lingerie is more than enough to feel stunning in your own skin.

  • Pin-Up: Perfect for those who adore the elegance of vintage Hollywood. Think luxurious lingerie, silky robes, and dramatic lighting that evokes timeless sophistication.

  • Modern & Minimal: For those who prefer clean lines and simplicity, this style focuses on sleek looks, silhouettes, refined poses, and contemporary aesthetics.

  • Natural and Undone: This vibe is perfect if you feel sexiest when you’re lounging in bed, and are drawn to that casual, undone, just-woke-up-like-this kind of energy. We love dressing down in a partner’s undone button up with beautiful messy bedhead curls in our hair.

  • Kinky/BDSM: If whips and chains excite you, you might want to go for a more explicit erotica type photoshoot. We love incorporating fun playful props into these sets, and looking gorgeous in leather, mesh, and latex.

Finding Your Authentic Style

If you’re not sure what style you’d enjoy, you can always reach out to us for a detailed consultation. We’ll get to know your personality, and talk about what makes you feel most empowered and beautiful. We’ll work with you to create a setting that feels personal and authentic. The styling, and the energy of the session can all be curated to reflect your inner world.

Preparing for Your Boudoir Session

Choosing the Right Photographer

Choosing the right photographer is crucial to creating a boudoir experience that feels authentic and safe. Here are a few tips for finding the perfect fit:

  • Find a Specialist: Not all photographers are equipped to do portraits, or boudoir. A photographer who specializes in boudoir will have processes in place to ensure a safe environment and amazing photos every time.

  • Review their Portfolio: Make sure you like the photographer’s personal style, and that they’ve worked with client’s who are similar to you in terms of body type, gender, and desired aesthetics.

  • Research Reviews: Make sure their client’s love them. Look at their online reviews and client testimonials.

  • Schedule a Consultation: This is key to building a rapport with your photographer, and ensuring that you feel comfortable with them. They’ll also be able to answer additional questions you might have about the process.

Wardrobe and Styling Tips

Selecting the right wardrobe is essential to achieving the look and feel you desire. We offer guidance on outfits that suit different styles:

  • There are many classic lingerie styles that look amazing in any type of Glamour boudoir shoot.

  • For Pin-Up, we suggest vintage lingerie sets, silks, and pearl jewelry to evoke a timeless, elegant, and 1950s mood.

  • If you’re drawn to Modern & Minimal, simple bodysuits, oversized shirts, or monochromatic lingerie can create a sleek and sophisticated look.

  • For an Undone vibe, consider lace bralettes, flowy robes, baggy t-shirts and button ups and going barefoot.

  • If you want to spice up your photoshoot for a more BDSM look, try some leather, mesh, and latex outfits. And don’t forget to accessorize with some exciting toys!

Additionally, bringing personal items that carry meaning or make you feel powerful (like a cherished piece of jewelry or an accessory that symbolizes strength) can add a deeply personal touch to your photos.

Embracing the Experience

Building Confidence

Confidence is at the heart of every Earthly Venus boudoir session. We understand that stepping in front of the camera can be intimidating, which is why we offer so much coaching, preparation tips, and resources before the shoot. This includes consultations, posing guides, wardrobe recommendations and more.

Practical advice like setting aside time for self-care, visualizing your shoot, and practicing mindfulness can help you feel grounded and excited. We want you to enter your session feeling empowered and connected to your body.

Immersing in the Moment

When your session starts, fully immerse yourself and let go of external expectations. This experience is all about you and only you, and you can’t go wrong by doing what feels natural in your own body. Our goal is for you to leave the session not only with stunning images but also with a renewed sense of self-love and appreciation for your body.

The Post-Shoot Magic – Seeing Your True Essence

Revealing the Final Images

The moment you see your final images is one of the most powerful parts of the New York boudoir experience. Each photo is a celebration of your beauty, strength, and unique charm. We offer a range of presentation options — from luxurious printed photo albums, custom artwork and digitals — so you can keep the memory alive in a way that feels special to you.

The Lasting Impact of the Experience

For many of our clients, boudoir sessions are not just about the photos; they’re about the emotional journey. Our clients often tell us how empowered and transformed they feel after their sessions, seeing themselves in a new, confident light. We encourage you to keep this feeling alive — perhaps by booking a follow-up session, journaling about the experience, or displaying your favorite photo as a reminder of your strength and beauty.

 
I had a photo shoot with Haley for my 31st birthday. I knew she was talented and professional going into it and was STILL blown away by my experience. She knows exactly what she’s doing. she’s creative, spontaneous and yet stays within the theme/aesthetic and time frame with ease. I never thought I would feel so confident in my body in a photo studio before but Haley made it extremely easy, and a ton of fun. Highly recommend.
