What's it like shooting boudoir with The Novara Studio?
The Experience
In a few words? Mind-blowing.
In working with over 500+ different women over the years, I never get tired of seeing their eyes light up—not just when they see their pictures, but also when they begin shooting with me.
See yourself in a way you never knew possible.
What if your mirror, iPhone, and even your DSLR camera have been "holding out on you?"
Many of my clients report that I've helped them capture parts of themselves that they never realized they admired.
Many more leave our boudoir shoots with a new lasting confidence that changes how they see themselves from that point forward.
Give yourself something empowering to remember forever.
Ever had a photo of yourself that you can't stop looking at over-and-over again?
One that lets you relive that beautiful "wow, that's really me" feeling as many times as you want?
These are those exact photos—and yes, that's really you in all of them.
Forever.
Express yourself freely and creatively.
We all have intimate parts of ourselves that are begging for release, yet we can't "just let them out" in our everyday lives without consequences...
I help women like you seize these parts of themselves, and channel them into beautiful visual displays of who they are on the inside where they otherwise wouldn't be seen.
Boudoir is an expression of freedom and vulnerability that is unique to us.The pampering and self-care are taken care of for you.
By the time my clients enter the studio for the first time, we've already gotten to know eachother comfortably.
Once you enter, we'll ease into "shooting mode," and in no particular order, you'll enjoy:- Professional make-up and hair styling
- Warm refreshing tea
- Your favorite music
- Fun conversation
- Lots of laughter
- Total privacy
Just be you. I'll take care of the rest.
Hundreds of women have entrusted me to bring their visions of themselves to life through our boudoir shoots.
Once I fully understand your vision and we begin shooting, I'll handle:- Lighting
- Surroundings
- Camera angles
- ...and guiding you through your posing, body language, and movement in a way that brings your vision alive.

Miss S
This is the first complete nude shoot I've ever done and I couldn't have had a more perfect experience. Odessa made me feel so comfortable in my own skin, and gave me the space to explore and express myself without judgment or self-doubt.I highly recommend Odessa. She will make you feel like a Goddess.
Miss L
I loved working with Odessa, she is amazing. I was feeling a little anxious at first (my first time getting photos done of myself) but she made me feel comfortable and walked me through everything. she has a magical way of finding the perfect angle & she is fun to work with. I had a wonderful experience and I absolutely loved the way my pictures turned out!

Odessa is an incredible artist who creates such a safe environment for creativity and collaboration. I've shot with her numerous times and every shoot was an absolute blast and the results are always beautiful. Odessa is really gifted at making her clients feel confident in their individual beauty and sensuality. I cannot recommend her enough.

I've worked with Odessa 4 times now and haven't been disappointed yet! She has such a delicate, cinematic style and I have two massive prints from my session with her matted, framed, and hung in my bedroom. Highly highly recommend!

What should I wear?
We love this question because the answer is simple: wear whatever makes you feel beautiful and confident! I encourage my clients to find inspiration in music videos, Pinterest, Instagram, or anywhere else that inspires them. Some options could be a bodysuit, a glam dress, an oversized sweater, cropped sweatshirt and high waist panties, a robe, sleep shirt, and of course, lingerie. Or, you may prefer a more natural and minimal look, with just bedsheets to cover you. And for those who feel comfortable with it, we offer nude sets during the session too.
In a 1.5-hour photo session, you’ll typically have time for up to 3-4 “looks” or outfits (yes, “nude” counts as an outfit!). But please don’t stress too much about wardrobe choices. Once you’ve completed the booking process with us, I’ll send you a detailed shoot guide to help you prepare, including tips and considerations for wardrobe selection.
I want you to feel confident and beautiful during your session, so wear what makes you feel amazing! If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help you every step of the way.
What should I do to prepare?
As a Novara Studio client, you’re in for a fun and personalized photo shoot experience! We’ll send you our handy Prep Guide as soon as you book, which covers everything from prepping your face and body to getting in the right mindset. Don’t worry about a thing—we’re here to answer all your questions and make sure you have a blast during your shoot. Our goal is to give you a professional and seamless experience that you’ll never forget!
What is your rescheduling/cancellation policy?
Due to the nature of our services and the time and resources we invest in preparing for your session, we do not offer refunds. However, if you need to reschedule your appointment, we require at least 48 hours notice. If you cancel your appointment without sufficient notice, a cancellation fee may apply.
What is the turnaround time to receive my products?
Once you pay for your products in full it takes about 7-14 business days to get your products in. So, just be mindful of that when planning your special occasions.
What is the “Reveal Session?”
Your “reveal session,” or “viewing and ordering appointment,” takes place about two weeks after you have your session. You’ll come in to view your images for the first time and choose the products that are right for you. We’ll go through a slideshow together and then go through them one-by-one to pick your favorites. There are certainly ways to get them all but many do narrow them down into an album or custom collection. Every session is so different and every client is doing this for a different reason so the reveal session is tailored for you and your needs, prices vary.
