Love Notes
"Body confidence doesn't come from trying to achieve the perfect body, it comes from embracing the one you've already got."
"I did it for myself, I just wanted some pictures for me. I was nervous when I first came in but once we got started I was fine, I got dressed up, got my hair & makeup done and I was ready to go."
"As an everyday woman, there are a lot of things and still a lot of things I'm not necessarily comfortable with, about myself.
But this process really really helped improve that."
"They were really great with giving instruction, very warm and welcoming...It was a really good experience, I would definitely come again for birthdays or Valentine's day."

The Blush Boudoir Process
We want to guide you through every step of the way, here's a sneak peek into our process...
Before Your Session: The Consultation!
Our goal is to make your boudoir session as comfortable, fun and as unforgettable as possible. We want to make the experience all about you!
We start with a quick 15-min phone consultation or studio tour to get a feel for your vision. Once you book, we’ll send you a lingerie buying guide and our session prep checklist.
You’re welcome to reach out with questions or for outfit advice anytime.
During Your Session: The Shoot
We’ll go over all your outfits when you arrive at our three-story luxury studio. You’ll enjoy a glass of champagne in one of our comfy robes while our glam squad works their magic.
We’ll get to know one another and go over tips and tricks to get the most photogenic images.
Don’t worry! I’ll help coach you through facial and body poses the whole time. You’ll be having so much fun you won’t want the session to end!
After Your Session: The Reveal
Two weeks after your shoot, you’ll return to the studio. We’ll have our reveal session over a glass of wine!
This is my favorite part. There is no way I can tell you how you'll feel when you first see your images, it truly is indescribable.
All I can say is I'm used to seeing a lot of jaw-dropping faces and the occasional happy tears! You’ll choose your favorite images and any additional products you’d like to order.
Before you know it you’ll have the final product in hand to cherish for decades to come!
The Overall Experience
Pampering you, coaching you during your session, laughing with you, and making you feel as amazing as you are! We want it to be an exciting experience that enriches your life. The best part is the memories of how you looked and felt are captured forever.
You ARE worth it! Even if you need the excuse to do it for someone else as a gift, we promise, it will absolutely be a gift to you. There is no one standard of beauty. No age. No size. Uniqueness is beauty. Confidence is beauty. Sexy is CONFIDENCE!
There is no excuse or reason needed other than you have this one life to live and you want to live it to the fullest.
About Your Photographer
My name is Liz Hilton and I'm the owner and photographer of Blush Boudoir Portraits!
The question I get asked most often is how I came to specialize in boudoir photography. It started with a destination wedding I shot in Jamaica… But the heart of it is that I love making women feel beautiful and see themselves in a new way, knowing that my work is having a positive impact on both my clients and their relationships … and, well, I’m really good at it! :)
Turning everyday women into sexy, model-esque, vixens (most of whom say they don’t see themselves as sexy) is what I live for. It requires skill that, frankly, not every photographer has. Boudoir is more than poses. (I’ll let you in on a secret, most photographers struggle with posing!) Small tweaks make all the difference!
Getting the non-model, girl next door — aka YOU — feeling confident and looking gorgeous is what I’m great at. You don’t need to know what to do or how to ‘be’ — you don’t need to love every aspect of your body or feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. I can work with you! I will make it happen. All you need to do is show up...
Blush Boudoir Testimonials
Our past (& absolutely gorgeous) clients wrote this for you!
"I did this for a gift and I ended up loving my book so much I didn’t want to give it up!"...
"This was such an amazing experience for me and I believe every woman should do it! I did this for a gift and I ended up loving my book so much I didn’t want to give it up! If you don’t have a significant other to do this for I would recommend still doing it for yourself.
Liz made me feel so comfortable and confident and my pictures turned out even better than I imagined. She takes the time to explain poses and how to control your face and body before the session. Also, her make up artist is amazing as well! I could not thank these girls enough for the job they did and how great they truly made me feel!"
-Miss K.
"I would highly recommend her!"
"I can't say enough great things about Blush Boudoir and Liz. She walks you through the whole experience and I loved my photos, it was hard to narrow them down when I made my album.
Every woman deserves the opportunity to have an experience like this one."
-Miss A.
"I had the best time that I could ever imagine!!"
"I absolutely loved the whole experience!!! I instantly felt so completely comfortable. I had a great time getting my hair and make-up done and they made me feel so special.
I felt completely at ease as she was shooting. It was so much fun!! I highly recommend Liz!!"
-Miss S.
"I had such a great time with Elizabeth!"
"Definitely recommend to everyone if they’re looking to get a shoot done! They make you feel confident, don’t judge at all, and make everyone feel comfortable and beautiful! Great experience!"
-Miss K.
