"Going through a divorce is extremely difficult which can make you question every single aspect of your self-worth and your self-confidence takes a beating. My friend, who did a Boudoir shoot with Obsession Photography, who also highly recommended Obsession Photography, mentioned that many divorced women do a Boudoir shoot to boost their self-confidence. I booked a shoot with Obsession Photography and from the moment I contacted Chantelle it was bliss. She is very professional and enthusiastic about what she does and shows you exactly what to do during the photoshoot. She is extremely encouraging, fun and compassionate and really has the ability to give one the confidence boost one needs. Through the pictures she takes, Chantelle has the ability to bring out the most beautiful, sensual, passionate and fun part out of each woman. She is the gift you didn't know you needed for your confidence and self-worth. I highly recommend Chantelle and would do any shoot with her any day." - Sian Steenkamp

"Chantelle was absolutely amazing!
She made me feel comfortable from the second I got to the studio, all through the shoot and while editing my photos.

After this experience, I believe that each woman should do a boudoir shoot.
This shot my confidence through the roof and I will definitely be back.

It is amazing investment in yourself.
Thank you Chantelle, I will see you again soon!" - Ulrike Viljoen

"I had the most incredible experience with Obsession Boudoir Photography! From the moment I arrived, Chantelle made me feel completely comfortable and confident. As women, we should learn to love ourselves the way we are, and Chantelle is the reason I can now fully accept my body. She truly made me feel like a woman and empowered me in ways I didn’t expect. The photos are absolutely stunning—beyond anything I could have imagined. I can't wait to gift them to my hubby and see his reaction! Thank you, Chantelle, for capturing my beauty and making me feel so special. Highly recommend to anyone considering a boudoir session!" - Belicia

FAQ

What is boudoir photography?

Boudoir photography is a style of intimate photography that celebrates your beauty, confidence, and individuality. It’s typically done in a private, elegant setting, like a studio or bedroom.

Is the shoot for plus-size women?

Absolutely! Every body type is welcome, and there is no size requirement to feel confident and sexy.

Should I use tanning lotion or spray tan before the shoot?

Skip the tanning lotion or spray tan before your shoot to avoid uneven skin tones or irritation. A natural, fresh glow is always best for the photos.

Should I bring my own lingerie?

Yes, please! I recommend bringing a few of your favorite sets. Shein has beautiful options at affordable prices that work perfectly for boudoir sessions.

Where is your studio located?

My studio is located at 1032 Silvergrass Street, Montana Boulevard.

What should I wear to the shoot?

Wear comfortable clothing and avoid tight underwear to prevent marks on your skin. Little details matter, so feel free to bring a few outfit options to make sure you're comfortable.

Tip: Don't wear any underwear to the shoot.

Do I need to wear heels for the shoot?

You’re absolutely welcome to bring heels if you love wearing them! However, if heels aren’t your thing, that’s perfectly fine too. This is a boudoir shoot, so there’s no pressure to wear them—comfort and confidence are key!

Should I wash my hair before the shoot?

Yes, please wash your hair the night before your shoot. Clean, fresh hair gives the best results for styling.

Is there anything to drink during the session?

We offer champagne at the studio if you'd like to enjoy something bubbly to get in the mood and help you feel more relaxed.

Should I wear makeup or foundation before the shoot?

No need! Michelle will work her magic to create the perfect look for your session.

How do I get confident for the shoot?

Bring your confidence! Everyone feels a little nervous at first, but trust me, you’ll look amazing once you start relaxing and having fun. The more at ease you are, the better the photos will be.

Should I bring jewelry?

You’re welcome to bring jewelry, but remember, less is more. Simple, elegant pieces will complement your look without distracting from the overall vibe of the shoot.

Should I do anything special to prepare my nails?

Make sure your nails are done before the session—little details like manicured nails make a big difference in the final photos.

I’m waxing before the shoot, any advice?

If you wax, please do it at least 3 days before your shoot to allow your skin time to calm down and avoid irritation.
If you shave and experience a rash, please avoid shaving right before your shoot to prevent any discomfort or redness.

TIP: Laser Hair removal is your best friend, I am doing mine at I-Schulp Zambezi.

Does the makeup artist include lashes?

Yes, Michelle includes lashes to complete your look. She will ensure they complement your overall style for the shoot.

Do you provide makeup and hair services?

Yes! Michelle, an amazing international makeup artist, will take care of your hair and makeup. She'll ensure you look stunning!
