House of Venus Boudoir is a luxury New Orleans, LA, boudoir photography experience specializing in beautifully directed, confidence-building pre-wedding sessions for brides and women who want to celebrate themselves exactly as they are.
I’m Kimberly, the photographer behind House of Venus, and I’ve specialized in boudoir photography since 2009. You may also recognize my work from my former brand, Dirty Girl Boudoir. After more than 17 years behind the camera, I still personally photograph every session. When you book House of Venus, you always know who will be photographing you.
My philosophy is simple: you do not need to know how to pose, be a certain size, or consider yourself “photogenic” to have incredible photographs. That’s my job.
I specialize in posing, lighting, and expression, and I guide you from head to toe throughout your entire session. I’ll tell you exactly what to do with your hands, where to look, how to position your body and even help coach your expressions. Most of my clients arrive telling me they’re nervous or have never done anything like this before—and that is completely normal.
For brides, boudoir is an unforgettable way to celebrate the woman behind the wedding plans. Your images can become a beautiful, intimate wedding-day gift for your partner, but the experience itself is just as much a gift to you.
Sessions can range from soft, romantic, and bridal to glamorous, bold, and sensual. We’ll create something that feels like YOU rather than trying to fit you into someone else’s idea of what boudoir should look like.
After your session, your experience continues with a private online video reveal. I’ll personally guide you through your images, help you narrow down your favorites, and walk you through your options for digital images, collections, and luxury artwork, including albums perfect for wedding-day gifting.
House of Venus is based in New Orleans, with select availability in Cincinnati throughout the year.
Whether you’re planning a surprise for your wedding day, celebrating a milestone, reclaiming your confidence, or simply doing something you’ve always wanted to do, you’re welcome here.
No modeling experience. No perfect body required. No wondering what to do in front of the camera.
Just show up.
I’ll take care of the rest.
