Questions
Everything you want to know.
What is boudoir photography?+
Boudoir photography is a genre of photography that involves subjects in suggestive or sensual poses, usually not fully clothed. It’s photography that focuses on the beauty of a subject and, though adventurous and sensual, it is distinct from erotic photography in its emphasis on the aesthetic qualities of the subject and the craftsmanship of the photographic process over the sexually stimulating nature of the image.
Where do the New Orleans boudoir photography sessions take place?+
The images shown on this website were all shot in my 3000 square-foot home New Orleans Boudoir photography studio. I have a dedicated studio/office where I shoot the images that are lit with studio lighting, and the rest of the images are shot in various parts of the home studio using natural light. That said, I could also shoot on location at a spot of your choosing, as long as it is generally free from background clutter.
May I bring a friend to my boudoir photography session?+
Yes, you may, as long as it’s understood that the friend will not distract or interfere with the session. Also, if you choose the makeup artist/hairstylist option, you may request that she be present during the shoot, as well.
How do I receive the boudoir photography images?+
To ensure the utmost in privacy, your images will be available only to you via a password-protected gallery that is hidden from the rest of the galleries on my site. You can purchase prints from that site if you’d like, and books are also available.
Do you offer photo retouching (i.e. removing scars, blemishes, etc.)?+
Retouching is included with every session. I remove scars, acne, blemishes, stretch marks and cellulite as requested, in addition to bruises and other random marks on the day of your session. Please note: I do not do extensive “body reshaping” as part of my retouching, but I work with clients to find the most flattering poses for their shape during their session, which makes this unnecessary.

Reviews and feedback from the people we’ve photographed.
“Can’t say enough about how awesome my husband and I’s experience was! Marc was very professional, very kind and inviting. It was our first time in New Orleans and the feel of his in-home studio with all the wonderful decor was super inviting and extravagant to take in! We did a shoot for our one year wedding anniversary and Marc did an amazing job on the photos! I absolutely love the book he printed out for us. A keepsake for us to hold on to forever and ever. Thanks Marc!”
“What an awesome experience! Marc was fantastic. I was so nervous doing a boudoir shoot; it is very much out of my comfort zone! I am a plus sized woman and wanted to do these for my fiancé. From the second I arrived I felt comfortable and the makeup artist he hired was fun and did a great job. When I got my pictures I was in shock — they were AMAZING!!! He made me look sexy and I can’t wait to give these to my fiancé on our wedding night!”
“I was nervous never having done a photo shoot like this before. Marc was extremely professional and made it truly a fun and memorable experience. I can’t wait to see how the actual photos turned out, but the process of taking them was very relaxed and thoughtful.”
