Boudoir, but make it FUN! Birthday Boudoir

Updated: May 9, 2023

Boudoir doesn't have to be stuffy, stiff or serious. Chloe came in for her 25th birthday and wanted to do 'something with cake and balloons' and that's when the Birthday Boudoir concept and set came together.


I loved it so much that I've added this set to my Light Side set choices and it's so fun.

You could go tame or you could GO ALL OUT with this set. A birthday boudoir shoot can boost self-confidence, celebrate your body, create a unique and intimate gift for a partner, and be a fun and empowering experience.


This is a super 'extra' set and is perfect for influencers, fun lovers and is great for those who fancy boudoir but want a soft introduction. You can swap the pink paper backdrop for any other colour and cake, balloons and confetti can all be styled to your liking.


I can already imagine this working so well for 10k, 20k, 100k follower celebrations for female influencers looking for an extra wow way to celebrate the achievement.


Spice Meter Ratings for this set and some ideas for shots.


2-4:

Poses, playing with balloons, popping party poppers/ confetti cannons.


6-8:

Licking icing off fingers, cherries on lips, eating cake, blowing party blowers


10:

Smeared cake and icing on body parts, icing dripping from tongue, pouring chocolate sauce.


Birthday Boudoir

Just a very small handful of shots from Chloe's shoot that she's agreed that I can share with you.





Here's what Chloe had to say:

Decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and book a “birthday boudoir” shoot and omg! I am so pleased that I did. Cat went above and beyond with props to make the shoot as fun & ‘extra’ as possible, made me feel completely at ease given the fact I was only wearing a corset / underwear in front of someone I had only just met and the pictures turned out amazing! Would seriously recommend this shoot if you want to leave feeling empowered xx

I really loved this shoot and if this looks like something you'd love too I can't wait to meet you. Pop me a message and let's chat!

hi! I'm cat and i am a full time wedding photographer
(and a little bit of a photography geek!)
 
I started taking photos as a teenager, my Dad was a wedding photographer and I would often help him. In 2021 I left my corporate job with a dream and hope that I could make photography a full time job. Since then I have been pouring my heart and soul into this business and have been honoured to be chosen as wedding photographer for so many lovely couples as well as being a portrait and event photographer.  
​
I TAKE CLASSIC, TIMELESS, DOCUMENTARY STYLE PHOTOGRAPHS WITH MINIMAL INTRUSION

 

But I will step in and offer gentle guidance when it's right to do so, I have learned over the years to read the room, anticipate the next move, hold space when needed and offer support when I can.

​

aRE YOU LOOKING FOR A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?
When choosing a wedding photographer, consider their style, experience, portfolio, and reviews from previous clients. It's also important to discuss pricing, availability, and any specific requests you may have.
 
Don't forget to meet with them in person to ensure you have good chemistry and feel comfortable with their approach.
​

Once you have narrowed down your list of potential wedding photographers, it's a good idea to ask them some key questions to help you make your final decision.

 

Here are a few questions to consider:

  • What is your photography style? Do you prefer a more traditional approach or a more candid, documentary style?

  • Do you have experience with weddings of a similar size and style to mine?

  • Can I see a full gallery of a recent wedding you photographed? This will give you a better sense of their consistency and quality of work.

  • Do you have backup equipment in case something goes wrong on the day of the wedding?

  • How do you handle difficult lighting situations (e.g. low light, harsh sunlight, indoor vs. outdoor)? This will help you gauge their technical expertise.

  • What is included in your packages? Are there any additional fees I should be aware of (e.g. travel, overtime)?

  • How long will it take to receive my photos after the wedding? Will they be edited and retouched?

  • Can you accommodate any special requests I have (e.g. specific shots, family portraits)?

  • How do you ensure that you capture all of the important moments on the day of the wedding?

​

By asking these questions and having an open and honest conversation with your wedding photographer, you can ensure that you find the right fit for your big day.
