Boudoir Sessions Are Made For All Women
Treat Yourself…
No matter how old you are, your body type or your style, you have every right to indulge in boudoir photography. It’s a great pick-me-up and reminder of your beauty and strength. Nothing boosts your spirit more than gorgeous images of yourself!
It’s Life Changing
If it’s something you’ve never done before, be prepared: you’ll become hooked! It’s so much fun, from the moment you start pampering yourself until the day you see your final photos, it’s one great little surprise after another!
You’ll Appreciate It
Boudoir encourages women to love themselves for who they truly are. It’s a great way to embrace your flaws and love the skin you’re in!
Pictures As a Reminder
You’ll have quality images that last for years. This way, you can always look back and reminisce about that season of life and how much fun you had!
Outfits and Lingerie
Who doesn’t love to shop? Boudoir is a great excuse to buy lingerie that makes you blush! There’s something out there for every woman!
Body Positivity
Boudoir is classic, beautiful, and timeless. Every woman is unique. No matter what skin color, body size, age or lifestyle, you deserve to be dolled up and captured on camera.
Women Empowerment
When another woman sees you doing boudoir, they become inspired. It’s all about lifting each other up and accepting our beautiful bodies. We shouldn’t compete against each other, but instead, encourage one another to do the dang thing. Every woman has their own story. When women come together, powerful things happen.
We are booking boudoir shoots for July RIGHT NOW. We only book 8-9 sessions per month so that every client gets the personalized experience necessary. We want time to create your tastefully sexy albums and wall art that shows off your best features!
Schedule your session by July 31 and pay only $300.
If you want to have an amazing album or framed photo to present to your love on Christmas morning, you don’t want to wait ‘til the last minute.

Outdoor-Glamour Photography
Outdoor-Glamour Photography is something I’ve been working on for a while, and I finally got a chance to do complete session with the lovely Lauren of Bfresh Barbershop a couple of weeks ago. I love the Green Bay Farmer’s Market on Broadway and I’ve wanted to do a session there for a long time.
Indoor boudoir and glamour is a blast and I always have a great time with my clients, but it’s fun to shake it up once in a while, right? We have our photos taken every year from the time we’re born, until we graduate, with our senior photos being the last great photos we have until our wedding day. Why is that? Why don’t we think enough of ourselves to take time to document a great year or a great day or a new outfit that makes us feel GORGEOUS?
Time passes so quickly; we change so much from year to year, sometimes with only blurry cellphone photos to document those moments.
Thank you to the ever wonderful Pru Walker from Rustic Cut’s and Co for introducing me to Lauren!

Birthday Party for Grown-Up Girls
Birthdays, once you get to a certain age, are ALL milestone birthdays and if we’re smart, we find some way to celebrate ourselves. MsS was all for a funny Big Girl Birthday Session and she brought her A game. She is the master of hilarious facial expression and Prudence and I actually rolled around watching her.
She also managed to look incredibly gorgeous and I know she’ll be reminded of this birthday “party” for years to come.
Not everybody wants to “unleash” their inner sexy for our birthday or any other special occasion. That’s okay, we can document ourselves, our birthdays, our lives any way we want to, but …
Grown Up Birthday Photos Are the Best!
Document your birthday with photos to remind you just how incredible you are. That body gave birth to humans and it is SPECTACULAR.
Let’s be real, if we wait until we feel we look good enough to have our photos taken, they’ll never get done. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got all I can do to get all of my mail opened on the regular. If you’re thinking of having your photos taken, just DO it. You can wear as much (or as little as) you want and you’ll appreciate those photos on every birthday from now on.

Mother/Daughter Photos
Mother’s Day is past, but any time is a good time for Mother/Daughter portraits.
Stacey and her daughter were the sweetest match when we took their photos. While I was clicking away I kept think I wished I had photos of me and my mom and that I was so glad to have hundreds of my daughter and I. There is no more special bond than between that of a mother and daughter. Having images to document that relationship, to cherish forever, is a wonderful thing.
I met Stacey through a mutual friend and am so happy that I was a part of aking these special memories for her and her lovely daughter. I’m so pleased to share these images.

Outdoor Boudoir
Outdoor boudoir – is there anything more beautiful? Although Ms S looked comfortable, she is mama to four gorgeous kids and this was her first time in front of a camera. She is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Thank you, Ms S for trusting me and letting yourself to be vulnerable out there in the great wide open
Now that Mother Nature is back on her meds, I’m hoping to get some more outdoor boudoir sessions in this summer. It’s the perfect time of year. I have the perfect spots and every piece of wardrobe and shoes we’ll need. No nakey, all sexy and just for YOU.
$150 ($50 extra for hair), 15 4×6 prints, custom DVD with all chosen images and a print release. And lunch!

Private Boudoir – I Protect Your Privacy
My daughter tells me that she’s never chosen a career because we told her that she could be anything she wanted when she grew up and she can’t make a decision. That’s a funny family story, but the truth is that at JLReisPhotography you CAN be anyone you want … and no one but you needs to know who you are! Who you are in private may be totally different than who you are in public and we can capture every side of you
How we, as a business in the business of photographing you at what is arguably your most vulnerable, keep you safe is important and we guarantee your privacy.
Many of our clients choose to keep their images TOTALLY private, to be seen only by themselves and their love. They don’t want their images online or on the walls or in albums in my studio. That is EVERY client’s choice. I don’t NEED to have my clients share their photos anywhere, I hire models and have studio reps for those times that I want to showcase a new set or a new technique. Every client can choose to show or not show her photos, no questions asked.
All clients are required to sign a contract before their session. But we don’t decide which of your images are shared (or not) until you’ve seen them and chosen your images. We’ll go over your contract and the area where you give permission for photos to be shown in detail and clients always have the option to choose not to share their photos.
Further, all galleries are shown in-person, in my studio. Your photos go from my camera to my work machine, to a jump drive, to my studio machine. This ensures that only you and I see your photos until you’ve made a decision. I do not share them online – not Facebook, not Messenger, not my blog. I will send you one “sneak” via email, but it will be one of the tamer shots.
JLReis Photography offers two specific sharing options. You give us permission to use only images where your face is not identifiable (body shots) or permission to use the images by saying yes or no to each image you’ve chosen. Again, if you decide not to show ANY – we’re okay with that.
But if you do decide to give us permission (and most clients do), we promise:
- We never share images with nipples or genitals showing- period
- We will never use your name unless you’ve given us permission
- We change the filenames of your images, so there is nothing to point back to you
- We don’t tag our clients on Facebook – ever. You are allowed to tag yourself if you wish
JLReis Photography also offers a sweet little thank you for those of you that DO choose to give full permission 😉

HMUA – Hair & Makeup Artist For Boudoir
HMUA? What the heck is that?
Have you ever looked at a magazine and thought “God, I’d love to look like that!” You’re in luck, my HMUA – hair and makeup stylist – can make it happen.
While you can get away without it, a hair and makeup styling is a must for a boudoir session. You want to look your absolute most beautiful and HMUAs know all the tricks to make you look like yourself, with a ton of oomph. HMUAs do your hair, give you smoky eyes and thick fringe-y lashes and a silky, sexy pout. You’ll love what you see in the mirror and your SO will have their socks knocked off.
When I first met Prudence, I liked her immediately, but I had no idea just how important she’d become to me, professionally AND personally. She has brought my photography and my work to another whole level. Although I am a hairdresser myself, I concentrated on nails and was NEVER good at hair and make-up. Prudence has lifted the worries I had before and during a session.
Prudence is also opening a salon locally very soon, as well as being the premiere stylist at JLReis Photography, so we sat down and talked about some of the important questions that we thought y’all might want to know!
What made you want to get into the Hair and Makeup industry?
I LOVE all aspects of art; growing up, I was a very creative child. I grew up in a family of believers and listeners and givers. When one of my other goals in life was not going to work, my Uncle (HMUA), said to me “Why not give to the world what you were given?” … the ability to see beauty in others even if they didn’t see it themselves. So I combined my passion of art/design and compassion of helping others and went to school for barber/cosmetology. Later in life I went on to get my instructor’s license to help others achieve their HMUA goals as well.What’s your favorite part about doing Hair and Makeup for Boudoir/Glamour Sessions?
The transformation of it all from the minute you walk through the door: the outfits, your expectations, your fears, your laughter, the moment you look in the mirror, when it all comes together and you strut out the door like you own it.What can clients expect from you when they hire you to do their hair and makeup?
That they can trust me with everything, I listen …How would you describe your style?
How would you describe me? 😉 Hmmm … “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak ~ Rachel Zoe” Okay, sometimes look like a hurricane ☺ but I’m having a whole lot of funWhat makes you stand out in the HMUA industry?
I LISTEN, it’s not about me but you ☺Where can you see hair and makeup trends go over the next few years
Everything repeats itself, but I can see simple and classic (it never goes out of style) But to each their ownWhat’s your favorite part of a Boudoir/Glamour Session?
All of it, but when the pictures come out and you and all of your friends and family go WOW! The glow in your face!Other than Boudoir/Glamour Sessions, what else do you do hair and makeup for?
I love traveling for weddings! I’m the open minded stylist/ friend listening and helping youWhat’s in your makeup bag?
A little of everything … remember, I’m just like youWhat do you like to do on your weekends?
Now if I tell you everything about me what fun would that be 😉Is there anything else that you want people to know about you?
I am here to help, even with the little things that you may have forgotten about yourself. Mixed in with some sass, class and maybe some crazy fun! But most importantly I LISTEN to what you need. I believe in kindness, I believe in helping others with no questions asked, I see the good in everyone first, I believe in good wholesome conversations. I believed in myself for 48 years when no one else did, beside a few close family and friends. I give my worth away to prove myself over and over again. I never accept a compliment cause its not about me it’s about helping. I believe I am smart enough to survive anything. That’s been my whole life and being.
Client Feedback
The experience was great. She was amazing to work with and has a great personality. […] But seriously 9.5/10 ~ Amber C
I have loved working with Pru! I’ve gone from no makeup, to LOTS of makeup! […] As to hair, if anyone can take this wavy, curly rats nest and make it look fantastic, she does. That’s a brave and experienced person right there! ~ Emily P
She’s amazing she does great work I’m even having her do my hair and my daughter’s hair for my wedding vow renewal. She cut my son’s hair the other day amazing job he is very very happy with it. I would recommend her to anybody. ~ Becky M
Prudence Walker did my hair and I have a lot of hair to deal with I told her that I wanted blonde highlights and my hair layered and thinned […] lo and behold the finished product was completely amazing my head felt lighter, the style was amazing and I’ve never had more compliments on the color in my hair… I would highly recommend her to anybody […] ~ Lori K
She is Fantastic!! ~ Melissa V
Prudence Walker is amazing with hair…she moved away on me and i used to have the cutest short hair styles and colors but since she moved away i have let it grow because i cant find anyone to cut or color it the way she used to. ~ Vickie J
I absolutely love Pru!! SHE does amazing hair! I drive 2 hours just to get my hair done by Pru ~ Jennifer B
If you choose to do your own hair and make-up for your session:
- Please arrive at the studio with your hair and makeup already done. We do have hairspray and curling irons if you need to fluff up the curls etc. We want to have enough time to pick out your outfits and more time to shoot 🙂
- We highly recommend that you wear a foundation even if you don’t normally wear it; it really makes the skin look flawless and silky smooth in photographs. Please wear a moisturizer under your foundation
- Bring some of your makeup with you so that you can touch it or a different color lipstick to change up the look for your second set
- We recommend starting with a more nude or natural lipstick and then progressing to darker lipstick as we transition into your second or third set
- False eyelashes are HIGHLY recommended for your shoot. If Pru isn’t doing your make-up, make sure you’ve applied them before you get here. You can buy nice lashes from WalMart or Sally’s – and don’t forget the glue! I personally recommend the tube withthe liner instead of “squooshy: glue 🙂
There are quite a few tutorials here in one place right here (I love the eyeshadow in the first video!)
