12 Classy Boudoir Photoshoot Ideas

Planning a boudoir photoshoot but haven’t quite settled on a specific look yet? Check out these 12 classy boudoir photoshoot ideas that will give you all the inspiration you need for the boudoir shoot of a lifetime!

All of the incredible spaces we mention in this article come courtesy of Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals. Rely on our platform to connect you with one-of-a-kind spaces that bring all of your personal and professional endeavors to life, from saucy photoshoots to event spaces and executive conferences. But for now, we’ll stick with boudoir photoshoot ideas and the beautiful Peerspaces that make them happen. Let’s check it out!

1. Contemporary creativity

Show off your creativity in an airy, contemporary photo studio. The great thing about booking a photography studio for your classy boudoir photoshoot ideas is the versatility of looks you can experiment with within one space.

For example, check out the variety of shots you can create in this modern, airy Oakland studio by browsing through the photos. This space offers so many great lighting arrangements and backdrops to show off your unique personality in your shoot!

One of the best parts about booking a Peerspace venue for any project you have on your plate is that you can read reviews from past renters before booking. And this Oakland studio has plenty of glowing testimonials! Here’s just one, so you can see what we mean: “It’s a great space to shoot small daylight shoots. Very clean and plenty of natural light options to work with. The host is very courteous and attentive. Plus the parking is easy.”

2. A sexy rain room

Rain rooms are one of the most unique yet classy boudoir photoshoot ideas out there! They are kind of like big showers you can use for your photoshoot, with the added bonus of controlled lighting (plus strobe lights to add thunderstorm effects!) and tons of space to move around in.

We especially love this Los Angeles rain room warehouse for your photoshoot needs. It boasts 12,000 square feet of space and has no natural lighting, meaning you can control the strobe lighting to suit your classy boudoir shoot needs.

“The studio is absolutely amazing, so many options for great pictures,” shares a Peerspace reviewer. “The stage itself, the rain, a gorgeous daylight, and the option for blackout, a lot of props, such a helpful and friendly staff, the best experience in the world! Highly recommend!)”

3. A sensual milk bath

Get some amazing shots as you take a soak in a beautiful milk bath venue! For example, can you imagine a more sensual shoot than posing in this charming vintage bath under the flowing, sheer curtains of a bamboo pergola?

When you book this venue on Peerspace, the host even offers a clean robe and towel for your shoot and can provide a variety of fantastic add-ons like a fresh flower crown or polaroid camera and film for some sexy instant pics in the tub!

Check out what a model shared after booking time at this vintage bath venue: “Leslie could not have been kinder & her space is absolutely breathtaking! The bath was hot & ready for us & stayed comfortably warm throughout the duration of our 2 hour shoot despite the setting sun & fog rolling in. She left towels & a robe for us & was nearby for anything we needed.”

4. Plenty of props

While the bed is a great location for a boudoir shoot — don’t limit yourself. Make sure you include tons of fun props with your classy boudoir photoshoot ideas!  On Peerspace, many of the boudoir shoot locations you find come with fun, sensual props to bring your photoshoot to life.

For example, this Chicago boudoir studio includes an egg swing, a modern bathtub, a minimalist bed, a vanity area, a lux leather couch, and more. Explore all the possibilities of this space by booking your shoot here on Peerspace!

5. A luxury look

If you don’t live in a luxury mansion, it doesn’t mean you can’t book one for your boudoir shoot! Go ahead, indulge in a little luxury. Pose in front of a lavishly decorated fireplace, get cozy in throne-like furniture, and take a dip in a custom-built tub or swimming pool!

Renting the most jaw-dropping spaces for your boudoir photoshoot doesn’t have to break the bank either. For example, you can book this luxury European-style home in Georgia for just under $100 an hour! It’s 1,480 square feet of electric opulence and pure style.

In fact, a Peerspace user who booked a couples’ photoshoot here shared the following review: “Can you say wow? Great hospitality, great space, very nice host. Thank you so much!”

6. An angelic feel

Stained glass windows, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and high-end finishes. Can you imagine a more angelic setting for your boudoir shoot than a 110-year-old church-turned-Peerspace venue?

This gorgeous suite in Philadelphia offers tons of natural lighting, beautiful boudoir furniture, and absolutely stunning architecture. Just goes to show you can find just about any type of photoshoot venue on Peerspace!

7. All lit up

Light up your boudoir shoot with a neon theme! Neon is a fun, raw way to showcase your beauty, and Peerspace offers so many fun neon-themed locations for you to book your shoot.

For instance, check out this 2,000-square-foot neon paradise in Georgia. It features 20 pieces of neon art, dimmable overhead track lighting, a phone booth, unique furniture, and one-of-a-kind decor.

In the words of a photographer in their Peerspace review: “Absolutely amazing space and is exactly like the photos! We had a great time during a 3 day shoot. The AC worked AMAZING in the heat of July, and parking is a breeze. Chris is a fantastic host that responds quickly. He’ll meet you at the space to go over any instructions, but it’s pretty straight forward and such an easy in-out process.” Find more spaces like this one near you on Peerspace by searching the keyword “neon lights” in your area.

8. The sexy librarian

Who doesn’t love a good sexy librarian theme for a boudoir shoot? Especially if you can find the perfect space to shoot it in — like this library-themed studio in Chicago! Here, you pose against the wall of books, browse through a tome seductively, and have fun playing with the lighting options.

This beautiful studio is filled with fun library-themed props and backdrops. Plus, it overlooks the Cermak Bridge and the Chicago River, providing some Chi-town vibes for your sultry shoot.

9. Boho vibes

Fill your boudoir shoot with texture, natural light, and lovely boho decor. Industrial spaces with a bohemian aesthetic make for absolutely stunning boudoir shots, offering you the contrast of hard and soft!

Especially when you find an industrial boho space like this one that’s specifically tailored to all your boudoir needs. This studio in Kansas City has a gorgeous boudoir set up with a brick wall, a pristine white bed, a swing, a turquoise velvet couch, and is surrounded by gorgeous plant life.

In the straightforward words of a photographer in his Peerspace review of this boho-rustic space: “I always enjoy working here it’s such a dreamy space.”

10. Bright and bold

An all-white space can create such an ethereal feel for your boudoir shoot. Look for a space with classy yet sexy furniture — like the rustic wood bed frame with fluffy white bedding in this Seattle natural light studio.

You’ll also want tons of natural lighting, and white walls can help to increase light reflection. Along with the bed, you can pose on the daybed, the chair, and in front of the windows. Bring it all together with a sexy white outfit that’ll help your hair, eyes, and skin perfectly pop in photos!

“10/10 will book again,” shares a Peerspace reviewer. “We loved the space!” Love it too and soak in all the bright, airy vibes by booking it on Peerspace.

11. Dark and moody

Looking for a space that feels more dark and moody instead of bright and bold for your photoshoot? Then consider renting a Peerspace boudoir venue like this noir bedroom set in Mesquite, Texas!

This space comes with gorgeous dark furniture with a little bit of white decor and trim to really make the space pop. Check out the boudoir photos posted on this Peerspace profile to get some inspiration for your own shoot!

Also, be sure to read all of the noir bedroom’s rave reviews, like this one: “This place is so great. Both hosts were extremely welcoming & friendly. They gave us an entire tour of the studio & welcomed us! Their rooms to shoot were incredible. It was very clean and exceeded our expectations. The photos turned out great!”

12. Au natural

Show off your au natural look in an au natural style space! This luxurious downtown Denver boudoir studio includes brilliant natural light, plenty of plant life, and an excess of natural beauty.

Choose to shoot on the tufted leather couch, clawfoot tub, vintage bed, or with chandeliers sparkling in the background — this space offers so many classy boudoir photoshoot ideas.

Bonus: Opt for a dreamy retro Vegas theme

One of the best things about boudoir photography is that you can customize your shoot with a fun theme. We love the idea of a retro boudoir shoot since you can guarantee to make it eye-catching and super sultry.

For instance, you can book this multi-room staged studio in Las Vegas that boasts several retro boudoir-perfect spaces. It includes six different spaces, all professionally furnished with distinct vintage decor and gorgeous lighting. Have a soak in the heart-shaped tub in the The Champagne Room, sip cocktails at Retro Whiskey Bar, and stretch out on the round bed in the Velvet Dining Room. It’s all possible here!
