Welcome to the #1 Boudoir Photography Studio

by Women for Women

Our Lexington Boudoir Photography Studio is designed to empower, embolden, and infuse a new sense of confidence. Our sessions are created for every single client to have a luxury experience. From the girls who know they got it and the ones who are nervous about being in front of a camera your photoshoot will have you walking away feeling on cloud 9.

This is boudoir for EVERY WOMAN and the EVERY DAY WOMAN and know these women were just like you. They are the wives and mothers who’ve put everyone else first and have forgotten what it’s like to celebrate them and wonder if they even “have it” anymore. They are the divorcees who are taking their power back and finding themselves again. They are the hard workers, the boss babes, and country girls. They are you.

And you already have one thing that all our clients have in common; they are ready to take the chance to fall in love with themselves again.

BOUDOIR

Who is Boudoir photography for?

Simply put a boudoir photoshoot is for anyone and everyone. We believe in you and want you to see how amazing you really are. We’ve worked with thousands of women from around the world. There’s nothing we haven’t seen and there is nothing you should feel nervous about.

We prioritize you falling in love with yourself again which is why we take the time during our initial consultation to understand what you want to see in yourself, what those around you love about you, and understand what makes you feel amazing so when you look at your photos you can finally see yourself the way others do.

You are a woman who deserves to feel her best and it’s time to fill your cup.

Let's Get Started

The Experience

Love Notes

Testimonials from REAL women like you & me!

When I walked in there was a quote on the the wall that said “She remembered who she was and the game changed”.

And that’s exactly why I was doing this, for the last 14 years I’ve been mom, I’ve been nurse, and that was my life and in the process I lost me. I lost who I was, I lost the woman, the individuality of myself.

It was about finding myself.

The whole experience was phenomenal.

Everyone just made me feel so relaxed and comfortable, a bunch of woman empowering another woman to find herself, it was perfect.

MISS J

I feel free, I am who I am and I don’t care who sees it.

It’s a complete embracing of the moment and letting your guard down because Ella and Sammi made me feel so welcome and so happy to be doing this, it’s just a beautiful experience all the way around.

Finishing up the photoshoot I felt empowered, strong, confident, free, pleased – all good things, nothing else but good.

Miss S

When I first saw the photos I kept thinking that is me!

When I first saw the photos I kept thinking that is me!

I felt so good. I got emotional about it.

This is something for me that I will hold near and dear for the rest of my life!

Miss SJ

I felt confidant. I felt empowered.

It was very easy!

From the moment I came in I felt very comfortable with Ella and Sammi. It was very empowering and the things I was worried about the most are the best part of the photographs. I felt confident. I felt empowered.

Miss M

It was so much fun and I would recommend anyone else being able to give themselves the opportunity to do an action like this or to take that risk, and to show yourself the beauty that you actually have.

I would say it’s really scary the thought of it; you’re gonna worry about what does your body look like or how did it turn out and that’s why finding people you trust and seeing their work was really helpful, I would do it again in an absolute heartbeat.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do work like she does, I don’t think I ever will either. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with any type of art or photography in my life.

Miss J

For those who would question it I would just say why not, you don’t regret things you do in life, you regret the ones you do not do in life

My experience was super comfortable, I felt good. I was just excited to sit down and really see the pictures. I knew that she would actually add some art to that, so, there was nothing going on in my head. It was pure excitement.

Miss S

MAKE IT HAPPEN. SHOCK EVERYONE.

BEFORE & AFTER

We know the nerves our clients feel looking at our portfolio, the one thing we hear time and time again
"I wish I can look half as good as the women on your website"

YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN!

What we love about our portfolio is the women on here said the same thing and now you are saying the same thing about them! When you let yourself be taken care of and step out of your norm you will see that you still got it and you are just as gorgeous!

BUT THESE ARE 100% EVERYDAY-WOMEN. THESE ARE WIVES, MOTHERS,
GRANDMOTHERS AND SO MUCH MORE!

These strong women are your local PTA Moms, nurses, lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc; these are everyday women who decided to treat themselves to so much more than just a manicure or a makeover.

A "LUXURY BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE" WITH ELLA GAGIANO IS
A STEP TOWARDS:

  • Appreciating your body NO MATTER what.
  • Recognizing that you’ve NEVER lost your beauty. EVER.
  • Documenting your beauty & growth even if you haven’t hit your milestone!
  • Choosing to celebrate yourself for a change when you do hit that
    milestone, get the promotion, or turn 40, 50, 60+ years old.
  • Remembering that you don’t have to be so hard on yourself, we truly are
    our own worst critics.
  • It’s okay to live a little, splurge a little, and feel drop dead gorgeous every
    once in a while!

FAQ'S

Everything you need to know to get this DREAM session started.

I WANT TO BOOK A SHOOT, BUT I AM SO NERVOUS.

Everyone is nervous and it is to be expected!

We describe it like getting on a roller coaster, you’ve talked yourself into doing it, you are in line and are beyond excited and then when you get on the ride and you are going up the hill all the nerves hit and you start panicking a little, but the moment it drops you are having so much fun that by the time you get off you want to go again. And the fun part is, no matter how many times you ride the ride you still feel the same nerves, but you push through them.

The best things in life are the ones that you felt nervous about because you were stepping out of your comfort zone and making a change. Don’t worry though, we are here for you through the entire process and once you see your photos you are going to laugh at how ridiculous those nerves felt. We cannot wait for that moment you see yourself.

WHERE WILL MY BOUDOIR SESSION TAKE PLACE?

Your boudoir session will take place in our private studio in Lexington KY. We want our clients to have the best experience and feel comfortable being themselves so we only book one session at a time. We also have the included hair and makeup done in studio to allow you to relax and settle in the space.

 

With that said, for our country girls and nature lovers who have always dreamt about an outdoor boudoir session, please let us know during inquiry as we have limited availability for our outdoor boudoir photoshoots on our farm.

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO POSE, WILL YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO?

We will absolutely tell you how to pose and where to look. You are hiring experts for a reason.
All you have to do is show up and have fun!

DO YOUR CLIENTS DO THEIR OWN HAIR AND MAKEUP?

When we say we take care of you we mean it. All our sessions include hair and makeup, you do not have to do a thing. Just show up with a fresh face and clean and dry hair and we will take care of the rest. You are here to relax and have fun!

I'M A PLUS SIZE WOMAN - SHOULD I LOOSE WEIGHT BEFORE MY SHOOT?

No. You are beautiful as you are right now. We have a lot of experience working with curvy and plus size women and we can tell you – it DOES NOT matter what your size is when it comes to posing, lighting, and photographing you in the most flattering way possible, in a way that stays true to the authentic sexy that you are. Posing is an art form and our clients benefit from our years of experience posing all different body types! We pose our clients to bring to light their true beauty. Remember boudoir is for EVERY WOMAN and you deserve to feel sexy, stand out, and celebrate all of you!

I DON'T LOOK LIKE A MODEL. DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH EVERYDAY WOMAN?

We ONLY work with everyday women. All pictures on this website are showing our real boudoir clients. These are the same women who had the same fears as you. They are the ones who said I won’t look like the women on your website, I am nervous in front of the camera, I’m worried I won’t like anything afterwards.
And guess what? They loved all of their photos, they pushed through their nerves and had an amazing time, and now you are looking at their photos and saying I wish I could be like them.

The only difference between you and them is they’ve already had their session, so now it’s your turn, are you ready?

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION?

Immediately! Just kidding, but also we recommend clients booking right away as our Lexington Boudoir Studio has limited availability and we would love to create an amazing experience for you. All our product is handmade in Italy and with all things Quality you want to make sure you have time to get everything you want! We book clients up to a year out so there is no “too early” and offer pre and post payment plans for the clients who want everything. For our last minute clients don’t worry ladies, we will make something happen!

Our best recommendation is jump on a call with us today as everything we do is about making sure you have an amazing experience and we can see what we can make happen for you.

Ella Gagiano

I was born and raised in the most beautiful country, South Africa. I love the outdoors and cooked food over an open fire is very much home to me. I’ve found my home in Kentucky where everyday I get to wake up on a beautiful farm. Where my dogs are already scratching at the door to go run free, the chickens are the background noise to my mornings, and my mini donkeys make me smile with joy everyday. I believe that women can be everything they want to be. I will always be the farm girl from South Africa who runs barefoot and finds peace in nature and God, who can rock leggings, a t-shirt, and a little too much dirt from cuddling donkeys and gardening. But I am also the same woman who takes time to get a mani pedi even if they only last a few days, wears makeup any time I go out, and has a closet with more dresses than I can wear out in the country. I am strong, I am a little stubborn, and I feel blessed.

I’m the woman who believes in joy and happiness, who wants to feel peace and wants to see beauty in every aspect of my life. I want to not only create but showcase that beauty for everyone else to see.

My passion is for helping women not only see their own beauty and strength, but feel it. Our studios specializes in elegant images for women and contemporary portraits. Our goal is to help women feel liberated, authentic, and celebrate their joy in life.

At Lexington’s #1 boudoir photography studio, women feel validated in their own skin without being judged or restricted during their photography sessions with us. We love the empowering experience we provide to our clients and feel every woman deserves this experience.

There is nothing more rewarding than making my clients feel as gorgeous as they really are.
