Chalsey Anne Boudoir is Edmonton's premier boudoir studio for everyday women. Society has tried to cloud our perception, but you were born worthy and beautiful. Through a passion for Fine Art photography and a desire to guide women along their paths of self love and compassion, we have built a strong business presence helping women to truly believe in their inner & outer beauty and themselves.
At Chalsey Anne Boudoir, we provide professional hair and makeup services not to make you look better, but to help you see that you are already gorgeous.
It’s not about how you look but rather how you feel about the way you look. Confidence is truly a beautiful thing. Confidence is what we all need. Confidence, self love and personality is what we bring out in the women we photograph. You are perfect now. It is our job to guide you and find the goddess within that has been there all along.
Sometimes we get so busy with our lives, our jobs and our family that we forget what it’s like to feel beautiful and unstoppable along the way.
This experience is for you to feel that again… because you truly are perfect as you are right now.
WHERE DO I START?
Once you arrive our professional hair & makeup artist will be ready to create the perfect look you’re going for! All you need to do is show up! Your retainer fee includes your professional hair/makeup services and we have sets/props that will create a variety of looks within your photoshoot. While you are in hair and makeup, we will go through your wardrobe and plan out your shoot. We use flattering lighting and of course we retouch (more on that later). When it comes to posing, you don't have to think about a thing - I will guide you through everything from the angle of your head to your toes, right down to your breathing!
With our all female staff you're in good hands, and we can't wait for your shoot! Once you book your shoot, we’ll send you a questionnaire where you can tell us your comfort level and exactly the look you’re going for!
Professional hair and makeup is such an essential part of the boudoir photography experience; it can make or break your photo shoot and that’s why we only work with the best makeup and hair artists! We have two professional hair/makeup stylists that we've worked with for years. Not only do they know how to give you the perfect look you’re wanting, but most importantly they know how to do makeup for the particular lighting and retouching techniques we use.
Do you have a specific look in mind? In addition to your questionnaire, feel free to create a pinterest board and send us the link! chalsey@chalseyannephotography.com
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
One of the most common concerns about doing a boudoir shoot is, what will I wear? We ask our clients to bring 6-8 different looks, not including any jerseys or button downs you bring to layer over the outfits. Also remember to bring a variety of items!
When you book, you will start to receive a bunch of emails, spaced out from the time you book to the date of your shoot. It will include a guide that lists our favourite websites and also has information about different types of lingerie. We have a good number of outfits and accessories at the studio that you can borrow. However, It is very important that you bring your wardrobe so you know it fits you properly. Fit is SO important. We can not fix ill fitting lingerie in Photoshop.
If you have lots of ideas and outfits and you’re having trouble narrowing them down then we always recommend you bring it all! It is better to have too much than not enough.
POSING
We have photographed hundreds of women of all shapes and sizes. We will tell you everything to do, from the angles of your head the whole way to your toes. You don’t need to worry about a thing, you just have to show up!
We have years of training in posing to ensure that you are always posed in the most flattering ways and under the most flattering lighting. Once it’s time for your shoot we will just ask you to do simple things such as: “bring that shoulder towards me, bring your chin forward a bit, now look up at me with your eyes, put your hand here, etc.” It’s super simple and again you don’t need to do anything to prepare for this.
RETOUCHING
"Do you use Photoshop?" This is the number one question we are asked. The answer is "YES". You can rest at ease knowing that we’ve been in business for a long time and our customers love how we do this! You will still be YOU - just a retouched glamorous version of you!

To reserve your date, first pay your retainer fee and schedule your shoot. We book 2-4 months in advance, so plan ahead. If you are just finding us and need your shoot asap, drop us an email. We try our best to fit everyone in and you may be in luck!
On the day of your shoot, you will start in hair and makeup. This will take about an hour. while you are in hair and makeup, we will go through your wardrobe and plan out your shoot.
After you are done in hair and makeup, we start to shoot. We shoot for an hour to an hour and a half.
At the end of your shoot, we will pick a date for your ordering appointment. This will be 1-2 weeks later. That is when you will see your gorgeous images and make your purchasing decisions.
Albums and wall art will be delivered within 4-6 weeks.
If you pay in full the night of your reveal session your order will be placed that night. We take credit cards, do a 5% discount if you pay in cash, and also offer no interest payment plans. If you choose this option, your images will be delivered after your plan is paid in full. If you purchase wall art or albums, you will receive your final order in 4-6 weeks or less.
Albums start at $699. That is for a 5x5 little black book with 8 images and the investment goes up from there. Some clients spend $699, most spend more than that and a few spend several thousand. What a client ends up investing depends on many things including, how many images you want, what type of album you want, if you want wall art or digital files. Every client is different.
