I have always struggled with self-confidence and seeing myself as anything other than ordinary. This experience was truly eye opening....Julia is a master in her art. I highly recommend that every woman does this at least once in their life.

MEET THE ARTIST
Behind the scenes look
Hey Babe - I'm Julia! I have been doing boudoir for over 4 years. Boudoir is so precious to me because I love helping women feel better about themselves, inside and out. We all struggle with self image, and I want to help women overcome as much of that as I can. I love the WOW factor. I love delivering images to women and having them say, "I can't believe that's me! I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life!" It means so much to me to be able to offer that to women, and that women of all ages trust me to provide them with this experience. You don't need to lose 15 pounds to do a session with me. You don't need to be Beyonce curvy. You just need to be you. Have fun. And enjoy this moment. You won't regret it!!
I had such an amazing experience! Julia was beyond kind and empowering! She helped me pose and goes the extra mile to get the best pictures to really motivate and cheer you on! She really know how to hype you up and feel yourself! Self love and confidence is exactly what you’ll find here! I cannot recommend her services enough!!

"Where DOES THE BEACH SESSION TAKE PLACE?"
We meet early morning at my artist's home for hair and makeup in Jacksonville and will follow each other to the beach once finished for the session in Amelia Island, FL.
"WHAT IS BOUDOIR?"
Boudoir technically is a French word which means 'a woman's dressing room or bedroom', but I like to think of it as just a fancy word for women's intimate portraiture. Boudoir is NOT pornographic. Boudoir can be fun, flirty, beautiful, cute, sexy, feminine, intimate, candid, posed, or really anything else you want it to be.
If you have not already joined our private VIP group on Facebook, I highly suggest that you do!
I actually believe that boudoir is the best gift you can give YOURSELF, to capture your essence as you are now. When you need a reminder of the strong, beautiful woman that you are, you will have a collection of amazing portraits to look upon. I love it when women come to me for themselves. The images we create together will boost your self esteem and your confidence, and that should be celebrated by YOU! It will help you reclaim your femininity, your sexuality, two things that are often lost as we get consumed with our lives, our jobs, our families. Put that pep back in your step, and reflect on the bodacious babe you are. Celebrate the body that you live in!
Oh my lord!!!! Julia is AMAZING!!! I had the absolute best time and it really showed in the photos too! This was so much fun to do, and she really made me comfortable. I have gained so much appreciation and confidence of my body, and I’m so thankful I was able to work with Julia to gain that ❤️

"What do i do with boudoir photos?"
"I don't look like the women on your website"
We've got a little secret we'd love to share with you...
You know all those amazing women you see on our website? Well, believe it or not, they once thought they didn't look like the fabulous ladies they see now! It's pretty crazy, right? Because here you can see them looking fierce and confident. But guess what? They were just as nervous and full of self-doubt as you might be feeling right now.
But the beauty of it all is that they took a leap of faith, trusted us completely, and let our incredible coach Julia guide them through the entire process. And let me tell you, they rocked it!
Here's the thing, there's no such thing as the perfect body. Seriously, you are never too big, too small, too old, or too young (well, just a little heads up, we only accept boudoir clients who are 18+) for a boudoir session. Boudoir is for everybody, and that includes you! So, why not let us show you just how amazing and empowering it can be? We'd love to have you join our boudoir club!

"Can you make me look thinner?"
I want to help you feel beautiful now, just the way you are. We flatter you with hair and makeup styling, a wardrobe that compliments your figure, and amazing lighting and posing techniques to highlight your best ass-sets (see what I did there?). I do not believe in heavy photoshopping. Don't get me wrong, we will gladly remove all of your bruises and pimples, but we don't want to over manipulate your body to make you look like someone you are not. We already live in a time where we are consumed with unrealistic bodies in the media, I want to show you that you are beautiful at this very moment.
"Do you offer hair and makeup?"
Oh my goodness, girl! Can I just say, a boudoir session without an amazing, photo-ready finish is like, totally incomplete! We take our clients' experiences seriously and that's why we only bring on the crème de la crème of hair and makeup artists in our area.
You won't believe how many of our clients admit they rarely wear makeup or have no clue how to apply it for the camera. But honey, fear not! We've got your back and we're going to pamper you like a queen, giving you the perfect makeup look that suits your personality and makes you feel like the gorgeous babe you are! So get ready to slay, because we're all about serving our clients with the utmost care and making them feel fabulous.
"WHAT WILL I WEAR?"
I have created a beautiful and comprehensive wardrobe guide that should give you the 411 on how to look and feel like a bombshell for your session. My policy is always "when in doubt, bring it"! You are welcome to make a Pinterest board and share it with me, so I can help you make your dream shoot a reality.

"DAMN, THERE'S A LOT TO THINK ABOUT... WHAT OTHER QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK?"
FULL DISCLOSURE... If you are looking for a quick roll around the bed and a handful of digitals sent to your email, we can help to accommodate that. But the truth is, our clients are here for a full day experience and want all day with Julia and the CAD girls. All of the staff here invest a significant amount of our time into each of our clients to ensure that you have the most successful and custom tailored boudoir experience.
The process may seem overwhelming to some, but it is a true exploration of you as a woman. From self esteem, to sexual interests (I.E. Whips and chains, anyone?), to learning to love your body at the size that it is.
Luckily for you, you've found us! Working with women in boudoir is all we do. You are in good hands with us and we'll make sure that you don't miss a single step.
Below are some more questions you should be asking your boudoir photographer!
"I NEED MY IMAGES BY XX DATE, WHEN SHOULD I BOOK?"
You will receive your images in about 4-6 weeks after your completed session! We usually drop-ship everything directly to you in order to keep this process as simple as possible. We do not offer online galleries or multiple appointments for your reveal, all ordering decisions must be made at your reveal appointment and all payments finalized.
"WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO SPEND AT MY REVEAL & ORDERING APPOINTMENT?"
Before we have created your images, it is hard for me to give you an exact figure as to what to expect. Some women come to me and just get a basic album, others come to me and want it all and invest several thousand on a variety of products. Our beach minimum purchase point is $3200 (paid prior to your session), but after that what you spend is entirely up to you.
"CAN MY SPOUSE/FRIEND/MOM COME TO MY SESSION OR MY ORDERING APPOINTMENT?"
We do not allow guests to be present for any portion of the time you spend with us. Our services are best delivered in an 1-on-1 atmosphere with your complete undivided attention.
"HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET PRINTS BACK?"
Digital images will be delivered within 48 hours from the time your reveal concludes. From there, depending on what you products you purchased, it can take up to 6-8 weeks for the album to be shipped to you from our lab.
"What do I need to book?"
The beach session fee is $600 and 50% is required to reserve a space on our calendar. The remainder will be charged to the card on file 30 days later, or you may request to have it added to a payment plan should you opt into the incentive program.

Financing options
buy what you love, pay over time.
For some of our clients, the boudoir experience can be an investment that is worth careful consideration. For this reason we have created financing options that makes buying what you love a lot more accessible.
Below are programs some of our babes are utilizing to have the luxury boudoir experience of their dreams. If you're going to treat yourself, let us help you do it right.
In-house and interest-free payment plans through Chestnut Artistry & Design (that's us!) is a popular option amongst most clients. These are bi-weekly or monthly payments leading up until the session date.
We also accept all major credit cards. For many of our clients, they opt to utilize the better financing perks provided by major credit card companies where their purchase will earn points toward frequent flyer miles, cash back, and other bonus incentives.
Paypal Credit offers 6 months of zero interest financing and flexible payments outside of that promotional period.
Some clients love the ease of managing their financing through Paypal as a known and trusted source for online purchases.
This option is based on credit approval. We do not have any say in who is approved for financing.
Affirm and Klarna allow you to pay over time with flexible payment options. You'll apply through our online store to shop specifically with CAD.
You'll get an immediate decision and a pre-approval amount without a hard inquiry on your credit report.
This option is based on credit approval. We do not have any say in who is approved for financing.

THE COLLECTIONS
Julia was amazing. Since these were a surprise for my husband and I live out of town. She was able to help me pull off this wonderful surprise right under his nose! I was very nervousness when I first arrived. After hair and makeup I didn’t even recognize myself. Who was this fierce bombshell!!! After a few click of the camera. And I was able to see what she saw!! Oh Man!!! Julia helped me to find the woman I’ve known was in there for years but too scared to show. We have already spoke about coming back in a few years for another session!!

Q: DO I HAVE TO TALK ON THE PHONE TO BOOK MY SESSION?
A: YES! We do not offer online bookings for a very specific reason: the boudoir experience is an intimate one. We believe you should have the opportunity to meet and speak with studio staff prior to arriving for your session.
We offer a custom tailored experience for each of our clients and that process starts during your phone call with Julia. She'll collect some information to create your client account and get you access to the client portal where you'll find more resources to ensure a successful boudoir experience.
Julia will help you choose a date for your session based on our availability and any celebration dates you may be considering the occasion for.
We cannot wait to get to know you!
