The 10 Best Boudoir Photographers in Boise

Boudoir photography often encompasses different genres. But at its core, it is portraiture — the kind that may be the most challenging to do well. Luckily, there are some truly wonderful Boise boudoir photographers out there, and these are the best of the best. Whether you want authentic portraits or to be made pin-up glamourous, there is someone for you here. 

1. Makayla Madden

A well-loved local portrait photographer, Makayla Madden brings her lifestyle vibe into her boudoir work. She makes each portrait a genuine representation of her subjects. Finding the beauty in every person she photographs, Makayla works with them to create magic both during the session and as a result. Her photographs feel like she just happened to catch you on your sexiest day — naturally red hot. But she also uses subtle effects like shadows (and occasionally smoke and props) to increase the mood of her portraits. As a bonus, if you are looking for a couple’s boudoir shoot to capture the authenticity of your bond with your significant other, she works magic there too. 

2. Carrie Hampton

Carrie Hampton does something truly unique in the Boise area—pinup and rockabilly styled boudoir shoots. These sessions include full hair and makeup styling, a huge client closet to choose your outfit from, and an especially chosen location/set/props based on the vibe you are going for. Her work is magazine quality, as proven by her publishing credits, and just cool. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a pin-up girl, here’s your chance, although her rocking artistry is not just for women—she works with couples as well. If you want to be pampered and have stunning art-quality prints of your boudoir shoot, definitely take a peek at Carrie’s work.
