Before & After Outdoor Boudoir Couples Fine Art Destination Erotica

ABOUT: Jen Fox

Louisiana & Virginia’s most experienced Boudoir & erotic photographer

I’ve been a professional boudoir & erotic photographer in Louisiana and Virginia for over 13 years. My roots are in fine art nude photography. I received my Bachelor of Fine Art in 2011 and started my business the year before graduating. My fine art roots taught me how to cross dimensions and bend light to portray provocative emotions.

I intimately understand the pain of not feeling comfortable in one’s own skin. I know the freedom and peace that self-acceptance brings. I want every person I work with to feel that liberation from self doubt. Boudoir & erotic photography offers you a glimpse of how you look through other people's eyes, and that glimpse can change a lot.  Most of my clients are nervous before their shoot, this is perfectly normal! Just know that your comfort is my top priority, helping you look your best is second! My clients all say the same thing, the nerves melt away as soon as the shoot begins!

I know a boudoir session isn't a cure all, it's just a step in your own life’s journey. Working with me will give you the foundational pieces you need to reach body neutrality and from there? The sky’s the limit. It’s an honor to hold this space for myself and other women and I hope that you’ll join me.


INVESTMENT

Your session fee and non-refundable retainer depend on your session type. For boudoir sessions, the session fee is $500. For erotica sessions, the session fee is $800. Professional hair and makeup can be added for $200 per person. After your shoot, I’ll prepare your photos for you to see and we will schedule an appointment to review your photos together. This appointment can be in person if we’re close or via video chat if out of state. All products and images are purchased during this photo review, if not before, and are not included in the session fee. Collections range from $3k-$15k. Individual digital photos and prints are $250/each.

LOVE NOTES

I know first hand how vulnerable planning a boudoir shoot can make you feel.  I know that when it comes to picking the right boudoir photographer it's all about trusting the person behind the camera.  That's why I think it's so important for you to hear from the people that I've worked with themselves, not just me.  

 
 
“I don’t think many of us realize how often we look in the mirror without really seeing ourselves.  The photos captured a spark that’s in me, that I had forgotten I have. If a picture is worth a thousand words, that remembrance is worth a thousand pictures.”
— Sarah

"Honestly, this is one of the biggest confidence-boosters I could imagine."
-Cam

Charlottesville, Virginia Boudoir Photographer
“For the most part, I am fearless in all situations, however, this one struck fear in me as the former fat girl and the not your standard body type girl. Even with that, in the past years and with 100+ pound weight loss, I have learned to embrace my body’s unique attributes. The experience itself was comfortable from beginning to end and the process was very easy. The results were amazing and honestly made me feel like I was 25 again. Actually better than 25, because I’m much more secure in who I am now at 41.”
— Lesley

Jen is so good at directing, which is key to getting a good photo. She told me exactly what to do and how to pose and I didn't have to think about it or feel awkward. I felt really good and I had fun while she photographed me. And I don't like to be photographed normally!

- Sharon

“I was facing a personal crisis and was looking for an outlet so I could feel better about myself. Over the past several years I had started to lose touch with myself and my identity. Seeing those first pictures I started to remember who I am, and that the sky’s the limit!

I’m a degreed writer but I’m not sure I can put into words what I’m feeling. I was absolutely awestruck with the images today. Your dedication to your craft and to the women who entrust themselves to you is unparalleled. The talent and genuine care you possess comes through in every picture of every woman. I am so lucky to have met you and I thank you so very genuinely for allowing me the opportunity to see a part of me that I didn’t really know was there.”
— Michelle

FAQs

Got questions? Here are some answers to some of our most frequently asked questions!

Where do shoots take place?

My home studio is nestled in the beautiful foothills of Charlottesville, VA. Indoor shoots are available at my home studio.  Virginia is home to some of the most magnificent outdoor beauty and outdoor shoots vary in location. *To see more photos from outdoor shoots, check out the Outdoor category under the Portfolios!

Are you LGBTQ+ Inclusive?

Abso-freaking-lutely. Love has no boundaries. I enjoy photographing all people and relationship combinations. I am lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, swinger and polyamorous friendly!

What products do you offer?

Most of my clients choose a combination of wall art and a fine art book.

WALL ART

Wall art is a gift for your future self for those rough days that we ALL have. It will be a constant reminder of the confidence you gained during your boudoir experience. Wall art comes in your choice of framed and matted prints or gallery wrapped canvases. If you're feeling hesitant about putting a boudoir photo on your wall for the world to see, ask me about the discrete ways my past clients have some up with to hang their art!

FINE ART BOOKS

The fine art books are an exquisite way to have a collection of your photos. They are handmade from a wonderful, sustainability minded bookmaking company in the Unites States. The cover options range from linens and silks to custom leathers and woods.

*All products I offer are photographic archival material, meaning they'll last 100+ years. These products are an heirloom investment.

What is the experience like?

On the day of your shoot, you don't have to worry about a thing. You don't have to do your hair or makeup. All you have to do is show up and leave the rest to me and my team. You'll have an hour to relax and get used to the space while you're having your hair and makeup done by one of my top quality artists. When she's finished with your hair and makeup, she'll leave us so that we have privacy for your shoot. There's never anyone else present during your shoot unless you decide to do a couple's boudoir shoot or a shoot on the same day as a friend. You'll bring three outfits for your shoot (an "outfit" doesn't have to be clothes, a nude set can count as an outfit). I'll guide you through poses that fit the look you're going for. You don't have to know how to pose on your own! Once we're finished with the shoot portion of your experience, we'll take an hour break while I prepare the photos for you to see. This is a good time for you to grab a bite to eat. When you come back you'll get to choose your photos and products, and place your order.

I recommend allotting at least 4 hours for the whole experience.

What will my investment be?

Your boudoir session will include professional hair and make up styling for one, up to 3 outfit changes, pose coaching & expression directing (from your facial expressions to your toes)! You will also get to see your photos and place you order on the same day as your session. The session cost for boudoir clients is $500. Erotica sessions are $800. Collections start at only $1,500. My average client spends between $3,000-$4,500 on products. If you're interested in a payment plan, let me know when you book your shoot and we can get it started right away so you'll be all set before you even have your session! You can find more info on my pre-payment plan HERE.

What are my payment options?

I accept cash, check and credit cards.

Pay In Full - You can pay the total balance in full on the day of your session. Your photos will be ordered immediately and you'll get them within 2-6 weeks (turnaround time depends on the products ordered).

Pre-Payment Plan - We can set up an automatic monthly payment plan for 3 or 6 months. Once the balance is paid in full your photos will be ordered. If you choose to do a pre-payment plan you’ll get to choose from awesome bonuses such as additional outfits, complimentary digital photos, video and more!

What should I wear?

I send you a awesome little guide that covers wardrobe in detail and I also offer assistance in planning out your outfits before your session. When I say you don't have to worry about anything, I really mean it!

Do you retouch my images?

My goal is to empower women to be comfortable in their own skin and to love who they are, exactly how they are. Societal standards tell you that you're not allowed to have imperfections and my whole purpose is to show you that you're perfect as you are without changing anything.

This means I don't change my client's appearance. I use lighting and posing to bring out your best features, but I do minimal editing with my images. Some clients opt to have their images professionally retouched for an additional fee, but most clients do not.

Your Privacy

Your privacy is very important to me. Photos are not uploaded to the internet (except to secure vendors to order books and prints) unless you sign a model release giving me legal permission to share your photos. All of the women and couples on this website granted me permission to share their photos.
