See Our Orange County Boudoir Photography Studio

Our reputation for creating unparalleled boudoir photoshoot experiences has clients coming from all over Southern California!

Our studio is 15 miles from Los Angeles and is conveniently located in Irvine off of the 405, 5, 73 and 55 freeways. Luxury destinations like South Coast Plaza and Metro Pointe are only a 5-minute drive away, and the Too Faced Cosmetics’ headquarters is across the parking lot from us.

Our fabulous boudoir studio features ample parking that’s steps away from our front door. Once inside, clients love the glamorous decor, inviting feel, and fun team — and they’re ready to jump into the hair and make up chair!

Since our studio is dedicated exclusively to boudoir photography, we have an all-female studio staff and policy that only women are allowed in for optimal comfort.

Boudoir Studio Details

Your boudoir photography journey starts in our hair and makeup chair with a glass of champagne or sparkling cider. You’ll meet your professional hair and makeup artist who will ask you about your preferred style and look. During your time together, your stylist will work her magic and bring your boudoir look to life!

Our three hair and makeup stylists have worked directly on many celebrity and fashion shoots. Two stylists mentored under the industry legend and world-renowned makeup educator, Donna Mee, and graduated from Mee’s prestigious Empire Academy of Makeup.

Our stylists’ expertise will make you look and feel amazing! Before you know it, you’ll see your sexy reflection in the mirror and have the confidence to get in front of the camera. This is when the magic happens!

Background Sets for Boudoir Photography

At our studio, we have a wide variety of background sets to create any look — and this versatility is especially great for an album!

Imagine…

A rustic, country look courtesy of our distressed wood paneled wall (which is reclaimed from an old barn in Wisconsin built in the 1880’s),
A sleek modern look with our white leather background,
A gold ornate wall for a sexy and sophisticated look,
Or, a silver and black textured wall for an edgier image.

We have even more background sets than what’s shown below!

Headboards

All of our photoshoots are custom. Once you choose the background, we’ll mix and match the furniture to give a different look and feel to each image.

For clients who want a sexy shot showing them lying on a bed with only a sheet (or an implied nude,) we have a bed and three unique headboards:

Grey velvet for a more modern look,
Light blue for a romantic look (think Victoria’s Secret,)
A rod-iron headboard for a soft, natural look.

Sofas

Sofas are a great way to play with angles and curves. We have three sofa styles to choose from:

An antique eighteenth century hand-carved French Provincial sofa (one of my most prized possessions!) for a timeless, refined image,
A gold sage-green couch that highlights black, white and red lingerie,
A white, modern couch that pairs well with modern styles of lingerie, bathing suits and bright colors.

Benches & Chairs

We have a variety of benches and chairs that can be used as sitting pieces or props, and they offer poses that cannot be done on other pieces of furniture. Yet another way to customize your shoot and play with angles and curves!

Props

Props are a fun way to elevate and accent your shoot — and we pride ourselves on the wide variety and ever-evolving collection that we have available for our clients’ boudoir shoots.

The images below represent a very small portion of our inventory. Your options range from:

Jewelry,
Masks,
Faux furs,
Boas,
Sheet materials,
Sports props,
Bridal veils,
Mirrors

Most recently, we added large angel wings like those used during the Victoria’s Secret runway show!

We also have a large selection of sexy high heels in different sizes, styles and colors that clients can use during their shoot. The possibilities are endless!

From the moment you step into her studio, you’ll feel like a celebrity! The professional hair & makeup, the instruction she gives during the shoot, and the inspiring backdrops in her studio pump up the sexy. I sauntered out of there with so much confidence. And when it was time to view the photos, I had to pinch myself. “Is that really me?” Every woman deserves to treat herself to this unbelievably empowering experience.

Let me first start off by saying how amazing and empowered the session made me feel. Karen was absolutely fabulous. She made me feel very comfortable and and showed me all the right poses to make this photo session a success. The studio is very cute and most of all clean.

Swtzee J., Irvine, CA

Karen French Photography is the place to go to get your boudoir pics done! Whether it’s for your fiancé, boyfriend or just for yourself, it’s a beautiful, fun and empowering experience. Karen’s studio is professional and the elaborate backdrops will give you amazing options for photos.

Astrid A., Washington DC

She guided me throughout the whole process. She helped me understand the different poses by doing them herself. That helped a lot! She took over 250 images and we picked the best 50. They stand by what they say: our boudoir clients are every day women – real women – who have chosen to do a boudoir photo session. Great customer service with a very professional photo studio and talented people.
