Shooting with Natalie was such a dream! I was determined to do this boudoir shoot for my fiancé as we will be getting married in April. As a clinical therapist, I am convinced this is the cure to low self-esteem, bad breakups, & any sadness in your life (only kidding but not really). Everyone deserves a boudoir shoot in their life! Everything from beginning to end was such a great experience. A huge thank you to the makeup artist Ginger who made me look incredible & to Natalie for being the ultimate hype queen. First 15 minutes had me sweating with nerves, but eventually it transitioned to sweating from all the crazy (but very sexy) bends & poses Natalie had me doing. She had me in shock as she showed me some pictures off her camera -- I didn't know I looked that bomb! & their lingerie choice was truly chefs kiss. If you're debating on whether or not to have some boudoir in your life, JUST DO IT! You'll 100% regret not doing this for yourself. I can't wait to see the final book! Thank you again! p.s. YOU WILL BE SORE! (; they should make boudoir workouts a thing. read more

What an absolutely incredible experience. From the prep guide to the day of, I knew I was in good hands. The makeup and hair by Ginger was incredible. Ginger's artistry is next level. Natalie, my photographer, from the moment I met her, made me feel comfortable and confident. Before the shoot, the Natalie took the time to understand what I was looking for and made sure to address any nerves or hesitations I had. Ginger and Natalie even helped me finalize my looks. I felt like the best version of myself before the camera even came out. During the shoot, the photographer Natalie helped me with poses and expressions that felt natural and flattering. Their encouragement and professionalism made the session feel more like a celebration of confidence and self-expression than just a photo session. I was amazed at how quickly I forgot about any insecurities and simply enjoyed the moment. When I saw the final photos, I was blown away. The images captured not just my physical beauty, but also a sense of empowerment and elegance that I didn't know I could exude. It was a transformative experience, reminding me to appreciate myself. Thank you so much Natalie and Ginger for a truly amazing and memorable experience. read more

Natalie made the whole experience so much fun! My photos came out amazing!! I am obsessed and so is my man!! I highly recommend!!

If you are looking for a boudoir shoot, look no further! I am a returning client and I have to say each time just keeps getting better. Don't worry about not feeling comfortable...From start to finish this group of women makes you feel incredible! Ginger did an amazing job with my Glam, I wish I could take her everywhere with me, I felt so beautiful. Natalie helped me choose from their wardrobe of what outfits complimented my body and when it was time to start shooting, she told me exactly what to do and gave me a little preview of how they looked making me more confident. When it came time for the reveal, it was so hard to choose photos, there were so many I loved. I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. It's amazing! read more

Just had my first ever boudoir shoot with Brianna 2 weeks ago and it was so worth it. The ladies were really understanding when I had to reschedule. They have the best service and respond so timely. I looked at a few boudoir studios in the area but this one had the best studio backgrounds and closet to choose from. The hair and makeup style is very much my style and classic as well. During the shoot they let you try on as many outfits as you want, which was really fun. It was a hard decision to only pick 3 but Brianna gave good feedback to help. The shoot was fun but I was definitely sore the next day from all the poses haha. Brianna would show you exactly how to pose and you'll feel really weird and strange but trust the photos will turn out great. I definitely spent a lot more in the end than I anticipated but hey it could've been a designer bag or this but it will last a lifetime, no regrets. I can't wait to get my album! read more

Julia Kay Boudoir - Boudoir Photography Near Me - Claremont, California

Julia and her team are beyond AMAZINGGGG!!! I have been wanting to do a photo shoot like this but always felt so shy or nervous about my looks. I found Julia while scrolling through IG, and I just couldn't stop looking at how HOT every person looked regardless of their shape/size. I was thinking "Damn, this photographer really knows how to pose and edit well, how I can go wrong?!" I was right and booking with this company was so easy! I decided that this would be a birthday present to myself so I can always remember how I looked before I old age gets the best of me and my body. From beginning to end, Julia and her team make you feel comfortable, confident, and sexy! You show up with clean hair/face, and they take the rest from there. Offering their wide selection of lingerie in every color and style! There was no way I could go wrong. Plus, they even offered heels!! I didn't have to buy or bring anything extra, unless I wanted to, but this way was so much easier. Ginger, who did my hair and makeup, had such a sweet personality and she made me look stunning yet fierce! Chatting with her while getting my makeup done really calmed my nerves because she just knows what compliments my facial features and answered any questions I had. It was like talking to a really good friend! After my hair and makeup, Julia asked me what looks I wanted to do and I said I wanted two lingerie options and that she could choose whatever she wanted for the last one. I figured with her creative sense and photography style, that whatever she came up with, would turn out wonderful! She always made sure I was comfortable and was open to any questions I had. Even when I asked for her opinion a million times because I can be too indecisive, she always gave great input! She never gave off the vibe of being impatient and made me feel like the day was made for me. She is totally down to Earth, funny, and spontaneous! Julia gives you all the inspiration you need to get the right poses while she shoots the perfect angles! It was definitely the star treatment and it felt like 300 photos were taken of me. Once the shoot was over, we went over book options (which there were so many options/colors/textures) and also scheduled when to review the photos! At our virtual meeting, Julia selected a pool of the best ones and together we narrowed down our options that I wanted. The process was super easy and I thought it would have been overwhelming to pick from so many, but I was able to take my time and review every photo until I was happy, even comparing photos side by side. For payment, Julia broke down the package options and even offered a payment plan according to my financial needs. I can't wait to receive my album because I have been happy with everything so far! After our virtual meeting, she even sent me a photo from my shoot and I just loved it so much, I'm sharing it with my review! If you're thinking of doing a shoot like this, I highly recommend using Julia and her team! You won't regret it! read more

See all

Where do I begin.... Everything was PERFECT! From the moment I walked in to the studio, I felt so welcomed and comfortable. Katelyn greeted me with such warmth at the studio and offered me a beverage (water,tea,etc) and then we headed upstairs where you get your hair and makeup done and select your outfits for your shoot. Ginger also welcomed me so warmly and I felt at ease while she was doing my makeup. My makeup turned out flawless and same with my hair. Loved it and I instantly felt like a smoke show! Julia arrived, came upstairs and introduced herself, and we selected some outfits. There were so many different options for lingerie that it was hard to choose but Julia helped find things that would be flattering on me. You know when you meet someone and get good vibes? Well, that's Julia. I knew I was in good hands. We head downstairs and the photoshoot begins! The space is perfect and the natural light is amazing. Julia instantly explained the poses as we went through and she took so many photos. We had so much fun during this shoot! Her professionalism, kindness, and expertise are second to none. I was sad when the shoot ended, I could have done this all day! I felt amazing when I left and I couldn't wait to get home and tell my husband! The following day we did the photo reveal through Zoom with Julia and let me tell you.... The images were perfect. It was so hard to narrow it down on what I wanted. Julia took her time going through the photos, reviewing, explaining next steps in the process. If you are looking to do a boudoir photo experience, I HIGHLY recommend Julia and her team. Amazing group of women that truly want you to have the best experience. For me, it was that - the BEST experience. Treat yourself. read more

I found JKB studios doing a quick online search for Boudoir photographers in the area. Instantly I knew Julia's work was what I wanted. I immediately booked an appointment and I'm very thankful I did! I was very eager but also a tad bit nervous in the beginning. However those nerves quickly faded as the energy in the studio became fun, flirty and most importantly, comfortable. All traces of being shy or lack of confidence were quickly dropping off with every outfit we tried on. Which keep in mind, even if you don't have a sexy outfit on hand, Julia has you covered! Or maybe you don't want to be covered (; During the shoot there was so much open communication between Julia and myself. I never felt like I was on my own in the sense of needing to come up with my own poses. She has such an eye and knows all the right poses that work well with your body. She even gives a demonstration of the pose prior to so you know exactly what/how to do it. After a couple of shots you begin to get the rhythm and boom, there YOU ARE the sexy bombshell you always knew you were!! After my appointment with Julia I left the studio exuding with the confidence that both Julia and her assistant, Desire, had instilled in me during the whole shoot. I was on a sexy, fluffy cloud 9 forsure! I recommend JKB at the VERY TOP of the list if you are considering a boudoir shoot. Like seriously, make that appointment now!! read more

Seriously one of the best experiences ever!!! Colleen was absolutely AMAZING. She makes you feel so comfortable, confident and excited about the whole experience. The entire process was super smooth and professional. The photos came out better than I could've ever imagined, I can't wait to see the finished product. If you are thinking of doing a boudoir shoot, do it with Julia Kay Boudoir!! read more

Most days I'm a mom, wife, nurse and a million other roles... this day I was ME and it was absolutely perfect from the beginning. I started my day getting the full glam attention from Ginger. She is a miracle worker! Ginger made me feel beautiful and confident from the outside. After, I was fitted, hyped up and photographed by Natalie. Natalie made the entire experience feel special and I felt so comfortable with her. She gave amazing feedback and made me feel confident from the inside. I planned this as a gift for my husband, but left feeling like this was actually for me. I recommend every woman take this opportunity for themselves. It's amazing to see and feel yourself transform into a confident, sexy badass! read more

How do I give 10 stars? a completely magical experience from start to finish! I have never been out to Claremont before and I didn't even know we had such beautiful mountainscapes out in LA. But I digress - now about Julia and her magical team and work: 1) Kaitlynn greeted me and offered me champagne - since it was early in the morning I passed on it but know you will be offered :) 2) Ginger was my makeup artist and hair stylist and she was super fun, relatable, and did exactly what I wanted without me needing to say very much. Yes, she is a mind reader. I could'nt even believe how I looked. I looked like myself. just enhanced! 3) Julia automatically made me feel at home, with her goofiness but also her professionalism. Having done boudoir shoots a few times, it's so important to feel safe in such a vulnerable state - but what I loved the most was the way that she would help me with poses and since the movements were dynamic, she was able to capture the best photos EVER. I felt so safe that we got to really experiment and play with things I never thought I would! 4) I don't know what kind of camera magic she has but every single photo was just unreal. I didn't even know I could look like that. 5) an unending array of lingerie for you to choose from! As a tinier person I was nervous I'd be left in the dust with only a few choices but we had so many options and I got to try all the ones that looked interesting. 6) the whole process took about 6 hours (and I opted for the wet look because, duh, why wouldn't you go all out at Julia Kay Studios!) and with all the proofs it was so difficult to choose. 7) Julia met with me over Zoom a few weeks later and helped me to narrow down the photos... I still had a hard time choosing. 8) it's a worthy investment. do it for you. I know it's a typical thing to do for a gift for an SO but it's so empowering and liberating and magical, everyone should do one. everyone! I can't wait to go back again! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended. read more

One of the most amazing experiences I've ever had! If you're feeling nervous or unsure, don't worry--this team of incredible women will make you feel like a superstar from start to finish. Colleen was fantastic, creating such a fun and supportive atmosphere that instantly put me at ease. Ginger worked her magic with my hair and makeup--I've never felt so beautiful! Colleen was a total pro at helping me choose outfits that highlighted my best features, and she guided me through every pose during the shoot. The videographer was absolutely incredible, making me feel so comfortable and at ease while capturing all the behind-the-scenes magic. The entire process was smooth, professional, and so empowering. The photos turned out better than I could've ever imagined, I loved that we were able to meet two days later via Zoom. If you're thinking about doing a boudoir shoot, do it with Julia Kay Boudoir--you'll feel confident, beautiful, and so proud of yourself! read more

Absolutely loved doing the photos shoot with Julia!! She makes you feel so comfortable and confident! The hair and makeup was also amazing! I could have walked down the aisle with how amazing the makeup was! And for girlies who struggle with maybe a smaller waste and bigger top she has multiple lingerie sets so you can mix and match sized! I was worried she wouldn't have ones that fit but we found the most amazing lingerie sets! Would highly recommend to anyone!! read more

Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end! Julia and her team were so wonderful to work with. They made you feel comfortable and beautiful every step of the way. I have never done anything of this sort and I can't tell you enough how empowering it makes you feel. Julia is so talented the whole time you will be like WOW is that really me?!! Highly recommend any woman to go through this experience at least once in their lifetime. read more

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!! Julia, Brianna, Kaitlynne and Ginger are IT- literally the Dream Team. They're such an extraordinary team of beautiful and talented women. From the beginning to the end- the process was seamless. They were professional, warm, welcoming and made the entire experience so worthwhile. To be quite honest, I became very emotional when we did the photoshoot reveal (literally fighting back tears) because I finally felt GORGEOUS not only on the inside, but reflected on the outside as well. In such a competitive and comparative world these days- I am so glad I gifted myself with this incredible experience for my 40th Birthday because it was truly EMPOWERING. Every woman deserves to treat themselves at least once so no matter your age, weight, or stage in life- DO IT!! I promise you will not regret it and remember, you sure as heck deserve it, Boo ;) read more

This is THE place to have boudoir photos taken. Brianna was amazing and made me feel comfortable from beginning to end. Her communication is A+ especially during COVID-19. They uphold safety and I appreciate that! The studio is super cool, and you feel very taken care of. I enjoyed Lex (the hair and makeup artist from heaven), as she made me feel my best. I only had to show up with clean hair and a clean face. She took care of me, and then Brianna and I were able to go "shopping" in the client closet. She assisted me in picking out outfits that flattered me but also worked within my comfort level. We then have such a fun photo shoot - and I was so excited to see my preview of pictures. The ladies are willing to discuss budget, and what you are looking for. The pictures were to die for, and truly made me feel so beautiful. I have never had such a fun experience with a photographer, and I cannot wait to give my printed pictures to my future hubby! Thanks ladies for taking care of me! read more

I have always wanted to do a boudoir shoot and I am so happy that I picked Julia to do mine! She is located in Claremont in a beautiful studio. I reached out to Julia to ask about her pricing as well as options and she replied really fast! She was so detailed orientated with her process! She emailed me a to do list prior to the shoot as well as provided any helpful tips. During the day of the shoot, they do give you a covid test which was painless and the results showed up in 15 minutes. Brianna was also super friendly and personable! She eased My nerves with some mimosas and helped me select the perfect lingerie for me ! I felt like such a princess that day from playing dress up to getting my make up done, everyone was so friendly. Julia is a truly a gem and a pro at what she does..she guided me through the entire process and Brianna was also so helpful and made sure my hair was in place. They were both super encouraging during the poses and it made me feel so confident. The photos came out amazing and I couldn't thank them enough for being so patient with me and making me feel so beautiful!!! read more

She's had tons of experience and nothing is too crazy, which made it even more fun and the pictures are amazing! Highly recommend Julia Kay Boudoir!!! read more

THE. BEST. EXPERIENCE. EVER. If I could give JKB a million stars/awards/kudos I would. This experience was nothing short of amazing and the results were absolutely gorgeous. Ginger made me feel stunning with her incredible makeup talent, and the queen bee herself, Julia, made me feel like a whole VS model throughout our time shooting together. I didn't walk into this experience entirely confident, but Julia knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable, bold and at my most beautiful throughout. She gave me instruction on how to pose that were extremely helpful, especially because they came out even better in the photos than I could've imagined. Julia's talent is unmatched and I'm so grateful I got to know and work with her. Think no further and just book your session. Your future self will thank you for it. ‍ read more

My boyfriend and I recently did a couples shoot at Julia Kay Boudoir, and we had the absolute best experience! Colleen was our photographer and she made the whole process so much fun and made us feel comfortable from start to finish. Our photos turned out gorgeous, and we couldn't be happier with them.

Holy smokes!! Julia not only knows how to take amazing photos and work all the angles --- she was truly the best!!! I researched a lot of photographers before booking with her, and hands down, she was by far the best in the industry! Her team is impeccable. The hair and makeup application were beyond amazing! (Thank you Ginger) and her assistant makes everything smooth and stress free. I brought outfits to wear but ending up choosing from her collection (10/10). Julia is kind, funny and makes the entire process so enjoyable!! I can't wait to book again!!! read more

I began my search for a boudoir photographer just over a year ago. Even though I live out of state, I instantly knew Julia was going to be the perfect person for helping me out of my comfort zone. The booking process was easy, and she provides you with a boudoir booklet that prepares you for all the little details. On the day of my shoot, Julia and her team immediately put me at ease and made the entire experience a positive and empowering memory.. I can't thank Julia enough for building up my confidence and leaving me with some amazing photos from a very fun day! read more

Where do I start?! I turned 40 in October and decided to treat myself to something since as I joked to my hubby, everything goes down hill after that LOL. Everything on their website is true. You literally show up and everything else is taken care of. There's a makeup artist who does your makeup and hair. Lily was my MUA and she did a faaaabulous job. I gave her an inspo photo of Selena Gomez's 'hands to myself' music video. After makeup, Natalie picked some outfits and had me try on some lingerie. She made sure I was comfortable with the outfits. I went with two outfits and sheets for the third. I also brought my hubby's work shirt and did some shoots with that. Natalie was so wonderful to work with. She instructed on what to do and how to pose. (These poses are NO joke!!! You will be sore the next day!) I'm more shy and reserved when it comes to stuff like this but Natalie made me feel comfortable with the whole process. We went over the photos over zoom and she was extremely patient with my indecisiveness. It was really difficult to narrow some of the photos down. She took some really great shots! Hubby and I finally narrowed it to 30 awesome photos. It was definitely a wonderful experience and I'm glad I have beautiful photos to look back on. You won't regret doing this! read more

Just finished my photoshoot and let me tell you, it was HOT!! This was my second photoshoot at the the studio and this time, Julia shot me. I had so much fun the first time, I just had to go back and do it again. She took her time going through my old album making sure I don't repeat the same poses. She made me feel super comfortable. Even though this was my second time, I was still nervous haha If I can give this more than five stars, I would read more

A 10 out of 10 experience!! I truly can't express in words the amazing experience I had with Julia and her team! I gifted this shoot to myself for my birthday to celebrate my 30s and it was everything I imagined and more. Julia is so incredibly talented and an amazing hype woman while you're at the session. From start to finish I had an absolute blast! I had such a hard time narrowing down my final photos because Julia is truly that talented and she has you looking PHENOMENAL in each photo. I actually can't wait to schedule another session with her. Ladies, do yourself a favor and TREAT YO SELF with Julia! read more

Once I walked inside the studio it was very cute and I felt very comfortable. I was greeted with a mimosa by my wonderful photographer Natalie. I changed into a robe and my makeup artist Lily started my hair and makeup, I felt like a princess already! I had a photoshoot with the amazing Natalie. She was incredible, caring, and truly the sweetest hype person you could ask for. Natalie guided me through various poses and offered helpful tips on movements, making me feel comfortable and confident in my lingerie. She would ask me questions about what lingerie i felt comfortable in and was very patient with me to find the right fit. I couldn't be happier with the experience, and I'm already excited to book her in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun and supportive photographer! read more

I was very nervous to do a photo shoot like this as I felt very insecure and I couldn't imagine myself exposing myself like this. Julia and her team made me feel so welcoming and confident the moment I walked in their studio. They even offered me a mimosa to calm my nerves. Julia walked me through the entire process and directed my every move which I appreciate so much! I felt the confidence flowing in me and I began to let loose and feel sexy. This was just the boost I needed since I'm going through personal issues through my life right now. This is 100% worth doing. I did this for me and I do not regret it one bit! I encourage those to experience it and step out of your comfort zone. You will not regret it! Thank you Julia and team for make me feeling sexy and giving me that confidence. I will be coming back for more shoots! read more

I never did a shoot like this before so I was extremely nervous. But these ladies went out of their way to make me feel comfortable as soon as I walked through the door!

She is the ultimate hype girl from start to finish. I felt so beautiful and sexy. Definitely recommend everyone do a shoot like this with these ladies. They're amazing and I cannot wait to come back for the wet set shoot! read more

Seriously, just do it!! read more

Was a beautiful amazing experience. I absolutely loved the make up and the scenery. I high recommend wet set! Only suggestion I would say is adding a few more styles for bustier women. They did not believe I had as big boobs as I did! lol all in all, Colleen made it work out and the photos still came out beautifully. If you're a little bit busier or curvy, I would suggest checking in beforehand or bringing back up lingerie! read more

I had the BEST experience with Brianna. I had been wanting to do a boudoir shoot for a few years and finally committed a few weeks ago and am SO glad I did. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and comfortable. The hair & makeup artist is so talented, the lingerie closet is truly incredible & the studio is clean and beautiful. Brianna made me feel comfortable, beautiful and sexy during my session and guided me throughout all of the different poses. I am SO happy with how the photos turned out, I couldn't believe they were actually of me. It's an investment, but so worth it and something I'll cherish and feel proud of forever. read more
