Boudoir vs. Sexy Edgy Photoshoot (2026): Which Is Right for You?

Short answer: choose boudoir for soft, intimate photos in a bedroom-style set, often as a gift for a partner. Choose an edgy glamour photoshoot for bold, moody black-and-white studio portraits with fashion-editorial attitude that you'd happily share. In Calgary, our boudoir sessions start at $445 and edgy glamour shoots at $395.

How sexy can each one get?

Both are as bold as you're comfortable with, from fully styled to lingerie or implied. You set the limits and we agree on them before the shoot. Edgy glamour sessions are for women 18+.

Can I combine them?

Yes. Ask us about a custom session if you want a few soft boudoir looks and a few edgy portraits in one shoot.
