For over a decade, luxury wedding photographer Kristin La Voie is chasing love to Chicago and back. And that’s love not just between couples, but oneself too.
Ask us? Kristin is one of the best portrait photographers in Austin. But she also happens to be incredibly talented when it comes to boudoir photography, too. Showcasing a profound understanding of focus, framing, and vignette, she brings a timelessness to the lens. Kristin’s work has been published in dozens of revered publications from Vogue to Cosmopolitan, and we’d readily jump at the chance for a session with her, be it in a moody, rustic bungalow or a slick pro production space.
Julia Vie lives for empowerment. So much so, she started her own boudoir photography studio, Vivian’s Muse, in East Austin.
In 2010, Austin boudoir photographer Julia set out to help other women connect with their inner muses. Driven by the idea of the world stripping women of their power to feel good enough, she’s since built a forward-thinking, inclusive studio that serves to rectify that using the power of photography.
Even if you’ve never even thought about doing a boudoir shoot yourself, people like Julia ensure you never look back if you decide to take the leap.
When a woman breathes in deeply, the way her body moves can be captivating. It’s rare a still photographer can capture that beauty. Natalie Ebaugh does just that.
Natalie’s boudoir work is dark and sultry, relying heavily on the natural shadows and highlights created by natural surroundings. With crisp attention to detail and the ability to capture everything from the luscious curve of a breast or the light dimples of Venus at the base of a spine, her boudoir sessions display the finest of artistry. Indeed, Natalie’s photographs are as soft and delicate as their subjects, no matter their age or body shape.
She’s one of the best boudoir photographers in Austin, which thankfully also happens to be home to some of the coolest ultra-hip rental spaces to shoot in anywhere in the country.

Owner and lead photographer of Speak Photography, Solange Phillips shoots solo and couples boudoir in Texas and Virginia. There are plenty of reasons to love Solange’s photographs. One of the strongest is her ability to capture her subjects. Whether their faces are visible or not, you get a sense of who they are in every single shot. Bodies of all shapes and sizes can be sexy. Humans are inherently sensual, and it’s with art forms like boudoir that we reclaim it.
Although she shoots in black and white as well as color, there’s something about the cool tones in her monochromatic work that speaks to us without words. She’s a great example of what makes the Austin boudoir photography scene a special and exciting one.
We’d also recommend you check out some of the city’s more offbeat spaces, like this witchy mysticism and dance studio, which is absolutely perfect for boudoir shoots.
With In My Boudoir, photographer Linsey Thorne is bringing modern, authentic boudoir to the ATX masses. There’s a reason many boudoir photographers are women. Most women are brutally aware of the difficulties that come with accepting themselves. Photographers like Lindsey take that and put it into their art. It’s a medium that excels in projecting self-care and self-love, something everyone can use from time to time, no matter what they look like.
Lindsey’s photographs are as inspirational as why she takes them. And we’re as crazy for her high-contrast black and whites as we are with her more classic, vintage-style portraits. She’s doing some of the best boudoir photography in Austin, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.
Consider booking this eclectic tasting room bungalow in the Eastside if you choose to work with Lindsey. Her talents will complement any sultry shoot within its moody vintage setting.
