BEFORE & AFTER

A BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE

IS A STEP TOWARDS:

Appreciating your body NO MATTER what.
Recognizing that you've NEVER lost your sexy. EVER.
Documenting your beauty & growth even if you haven't hit your milestone!
Choosing to celebrate yourself; when you get that promotion, when you turn 40, 50, 60+ years old, ANYTHING!
Remembering that you don't have to be so hard on yourself, we truly are our own worst critics.
Learning that it's okay to live your life, step outside your comfort zone, splurge a little, and feel drop dead gorgeous!

I'M INTERESTED

First she is very professional, kind and courteous. As well as the staff she hires. The ladies who completed my makeup and hair knew their craft. I felt beautiful and looked it!

Second her level of detail is absolutely top tier! She was able to move and direct my body into these lovely shapes. I cannot even begin to thank her for showing me just how beautiful my body actually is. I am incredibly grateful for that gift!

Third she is the hype woman of the year! You might feel stupid or clumsy or whatever...her hype woman skills will make you think you are the most beautiful being to have ever graced the planet!

Finally the amount of talent she has is unreal. She did lighting edits but left me real. I didn't look fake or plastic. The photographs are literal art. Her artistic eye is something every woman should have when doing a boudoir photo shoot.

Thank you girl for everything. May your life and business flourish always!

- MS. N

The experience was better than I ever thought it could be!! The hair and make up artists were amazing and Leslee is the best hype girl you could ever ask for!

She communicates with you well before the appointment, answers ALL the questions and provides such great information and ideas that I felt prepared and excited for my shoot.

The studio is so versatile and she has such a professional eye at making every picture look amazing.

Book your session….and you’re going to want more pictures than you think you would!

- MS. M

I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars because this was such an amazing experience! From getting ready all the way through to the preview, I had a blast. I was extremely comfortable and Leslee made me feel super confident. She has the best personality and it felt like we had been friends forever. There was no awkward moments or uncomfortable silence, it was just fun and adventurous! I highly recommend at least one session with Leslee because you will fall in love with how she makes you feel. I will definitely be back!

- MRS. S

I would give 6 stars if I could. From our phone conversation to the day of my photos, Leslee made me feel so comfortable. Leslee and her team made me not only look beautiful but feel beautiful and confident too. Leslee walked me through every pose, even showing me what to do, and her work is STUNNING! This was such a wonderful and empowering experience!

- MRS. K

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Easily the best decision I’ve made since marrying my husband… and that’s saying something 😏

This boudoir experience was next-level. I came in a little nervous and left feeling sexy as hell, confident, and fully aware of just how dangerous I am. The entire session was fun, empowering, and very flattering — every pose, every angle, every moment was handled with total professionalism and hype-girl energy.

I’ve never felt so comfortable showing off my body, and I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin. This wasn’t just photos — it was a full confidence boost with a side of spice.

Let’s just say… my husband is a very happy man 😉

If you’re on the fence, take this as your sign. Do it for yourself. Do it for your confidence. Do it because you deserve to feel this good. 🔥💋

Thank you Leslee🥰

- MRS. S

Working with Leslee was an absolute dream! She is highly professional but has a relatable, down-to-earth energy that immediately puts you at ease. I loved her 'lead by example' approach to posing—her instructions were clear and so helpful. If you want an exciting, seamless photography experience, book with Leslee! (Added bonus, you can book your experience months in advance and pay towards it each month.)

- MS. K

DO NOT TRUST NO ONE but LESLEE SHAW PHOTOGRAPHY and Team to be your FIRST experience in Boudoir!!!

If you want the BEST look no further BOOK LESLEE AND HER TEAM

- MS. J

I’m 53 and 5 years post divorce…I’ve never done anything like this. I have found me and am happier and healthier than I’ve ever been and decided to do something to celebrate and honor what I’ve been able to accomplish in this new chapter of my story. I was NERVOUS but excited as hell! After my session I felt like I had conquered the world, every nay sayer and every self doubt demon I ever had! DO THE SHOOT!!!!! Don’t put it off, don’t think you can’t, don’t listen to the little voice that tells you no! DO IT!!!!! Those little things that ALL women wish were different or could be better…those are the things that make us unique and independently beautiful! Own every little dimple and curve!!!! They are you and they are extraordinary!

- MRS. N

Do. The. Damn. Pictures!!! You’ll feel like the most confident, bad B there is!! I have lumps, bumps, a mama belly, bruises because I’m clumsy, etc.! By no means is my body perfect but holy moly y’all, you sure couldn’t tell it here lol!! Get comfy with your body because it’s here to stay!! I’m so in love with this session! I thought my first session with Leslee was it, but the second session blew it away!!! Trust me, just do it!! From scrubs to wings!

- MRS. J

Leslee Rea Shaw your are an amazing person for what you do for us women! Your photography skills are on point! Thank you for restoring my self confidence and showing me how beautiful I am! Ladies if you are on the fence about doing a session let me tell you it will be life changing!

- MRS. L

Leslee Shaw is an amazing person and professional when it comes to our photography session. She was prompt when it came to any questions, I had prior to my appointment with her. She made me feel comfortable in my own skin. Leslee is what I would call an "old soul" and her personality shows that through what she does for her clients! She made me feel beautiful, sexy and empowered during my session. I cannot wait to book my next one! Highly, highly recommend her!!!!

- MS. L

Ladies! If you're thinking about having a boudoir session done, stop! Stop thinking about it and DO IT! It's amazing! No matter what your circumstances, I guarantee Leslee will take care of you. No matter the size of your body, she will capture the size of your heart. She WILL show you how beautiful you are! If you don't see at least one picture that takes your breath away, you aren't seeing the real you. Being a single Mom is a lot of responsibility for one person and I was being to lose myself in my role. Taking a much needed mental health day to focus on myself was amazing! Thank you for such an amazing experience Leslee!

- MS. C

My session was the most amazing experience! Leslee is very professional and personal at the same time. She's got a vision and is great about hearing your input as well as showing you how to bring it to life. I will definitely be doing another session with her!

- MS. D

Leslee was amazing to work with! She made me feel so comfortable during the whole shoot. All the pictures turned out amazing!

- MS. B

Very comfortable fun atmosphere! Leslee is the bomb at what she does❤️ Already have my next session scheduled, which will make #3! Highly recommend checking Leslee out!! It’s an experience fit for a queen👑

- MS. K

She believed she could, so she did.

My Mission

Hey gorgeous, I'm Leslee! I own and operate The Boudoir Studio in downtown Salado, TX.

I can honestly say that Boudoir changed my life, from the very first moment I came across it many years ago. Seeing the transformation within our clients from when they first arrive, to when they leave after their session is eye opening and awe-inspiring. They stand up straighter, they smile bigger, their eyes have a little more sparkle in them. You can feel the energy shift, and it is truly amazing.

I've seen them go on and accomplish great things: find new love, start families, leave a bad relationship, make a big career change, take a chance on a move...whatever they feel empowered to do after their session.

I'd love to share this experience with you, too! Whether you’re celebrating an achievement or just wanting to discover a new level of confidence, I’m here for it.

xoxo

Will You Photoshop My Body or Waist?

All purchased images are professionally edited for lighting, blemish removal and skin smoothing. We do not however perform any body reshaping or resizing.

Am I Allowed To Bring A Friend With Me?

We totally get that a boudoir session can induce the nerves, and do allow one friend AS LONG AS she is a positive influence, hypes you up and leaves the cell phone put away (no cell phone use in the studio during shooting!)

There is a $500 nonrefundable retainer due at the time of booking to reserve your date. Image packages are purchased separately. We do require that the image package is selected within 2 weeks of booking, and must be paid in full at least 2 weeks before your session date.

How Early Should I Book My Boudoir Session?

We are generally booked 3-6 months in advance. If you have a specific date that you’d like your products by, I recommend reaching out 6 or more months in advance so we may plan accordingly. I am talking to you brides!

When Do I Get To See My Images?

We include a same day viewing of your edited images with your session! After your session, I send you to lunch at 12pm while I edit. Once you return, in about an hour and a half, we will "ohh and ahh" at all your beauty on the big screen!
