Beyond the Red-Bottom Shoes: The Boudoir Photoshoot That Redefines Luxury
Confidence Isn’t in the Label—It’s in You
Let me tell you a story. A few years ago, I splurged on my first pair of Louboutins. You know the ones—the iconic red soles that command attention the moment you step into a room.
I slipped them on, stood in front of the mirror, and for a fleeting moment, I felt unstoppable. Like I could conquer anything. Taller, bolder—like I had cracked some secret code to confidence.
But here’s the thing about shoes: they don’t change who you are.
The moment I took them off and placed them back in the box, I was still me. Same doubts. Same inner critic. Same nagging question in the back of my mind: Am I enough?
Turns out, confidence isn’t something you buy—it’s something you own. And that’s precisely what we do at Holly Douglas & Co., the premier luxury boudoir studio in Nashville.
When you step into our studio, it’s not about designer labels, expensive handbags, or sky-high stilettos. It’s about stripping all of that away (sometimes literally) and showing you the fire that’s been inside you all along.
This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s a transformational experience.
If you give it a try, you’ll realize: this is so much more than boudoir. It’s about rediscovering the bold, sensual, confident version of yourself that’s been waiting to be unleashed.
So, sure, Louboutins are special. But let’s talk about what happens when you stop accessorizing confidence—and start owning it.
Holly Douglas & Co. Reinvents Luxury
Luxury is a funny thing. It’s supposed to make you feel good, right? But more often than not, it’s fleeting.
A spa day is indulgent—until the stress of life kicks back in.
A designer handbag is thrilling—until it becomes just another item in your collection.
But a boudoir photoshoot? That’s something else entirely.
Why a Boudoir Photoshoot Is More Luxurious Than Louboutins
Because it’s personal.
It doesn’t follow trends. It doesn’t chase labels. It’s orchestrated entirely around YOU—your essence, your power, your unique brand of beauty.
Maybe you picture yourself wrapped in soft lace, bathed in dreamy lighting. Or maybe you envision bold, edgy, high-fashion shots, where shadow and light play off every stunning angle.
Whatever you imagine, we bring that vision to life.
And unlike shoes or handbags, this experience doesn’t collect dust.
The way you carry yourself afterward—the confidence, the unapologetic way you own your space—sticks with you long after the camera is put away.
What Makes a Boudoir Photoshoot So Special?
A boudoir session at Holly Douglas & Co. gives you something far deeper than a fleeting luxury item.
It’s an experience that changes how you see yourself.
1. You’ll Walk Away With Stunning, High-End Photos
We’ve all had those photos we cringe at—bad angles, unflattering lighting, awkward poses.
That’s not happening here.
At Holly Douglas & Co., Nashville’s #1 luxury boudoir studio, every detail is intentional.
✅ Soft, natural lighting that highlights your curves in the most flattering way
✅ Expert posing guidance so you feel confident and at ease
✅ Luxe, editorial-style setups that make you feel like you just stepped out of a Vogue spread
From the moment the camera clicks to the final, refined edits, each image is designed to showcase your natural beauty—elevated, never overdone.
No filters. No gimmicks. Just you, in all your radiant glory.
2. The Day Itself Oozes Opulence
Luxury is in the details, and at Holly Douglas & Co., every tiny detail is designed to make you feel like royalty.
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted with:
✨ A crisp glass of bubbly (or your favorite indulgent drink)
✨ Silk robes and curated lingerie from the most exquisite collections
✨ Soft music, fresh flowers, plush furnishings—a setting designed for pure relaxation
And the best part?
There’s no pressure to be anyone but yourself.
Stepping into our studio isn’t about playing a role—it’s about letting go, feeling free, and embracing the real you.
3. You’ll Look—and Feel—Like a Million Bucks
Louboutins: A one-night splurge.
A Boudoir Session at Holly Douglas & Co.: A long-term investment in your confidence.
The high that comes from slipping into those designer heels? It fades.
But the way you’ll see yourself after your boudoir session? That lasts.
Our clients often tell us how, weeks and months later, they still feel that shift. They walk into meetings, date nights—even casual Target runs—with a new energy, a new presence.
Because when you see yourself as the stunning, powerful, undeniably beautiful woman you truly are, there’s no going back.
Your Boudoir Photoshoot is 100% Bespoke
True luxury is always bespoke—crafted specifically for you.
That’s exactly what this experience is.
Maybe your style is soft, ethereal, and elegant, draped in flowing silk.
Or maybe it’s bold, sultry, and fierce, with strappy black lingerie and moody lighting.
Whatever your vision, we bring it to life.
💎 Want playful, lighthearted shots? We’ve got you.
💎 Prefer something more dramatic and seductive? Let’s do it.
💎 Want to bring someone along? Your partner, your best friend—even your pup? Absolutely.
This is your session. Your rules. Your moment.
The Photos (and the Feeling) Are Yours Forever
There’s a reason so many of our clients leave the studio saying:
🔹 “I’ve never felt this confident in my life.”
🔹 “I can’t believe that’s me!”
🔹 “I didn’t know I could look this powerful.”
Because this isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about changing the way you see yourself.
The version of you that everyone else already sees—the radiant, courageous, breathtaking woman you are.
And unlike a pair of shoes? That feeling doesn’t fade.
Trade In Your Louboutins for a Boudoir Photoshoot (or Bring Them!)
Sure, Louboutins are a symbol of luxury. But a boudoir session at Holly Douglas & Co.?
That’s a whole new level of indulgence.
This isn’t something you tuck away in a closet.
This isn’t something that loses value over time.
This is luxury in its purest, most personal form—celebrating you in all your unapologetic glory.
So, babe, why let your shoes take center stage when it should be YOU?
Let’s make it happen—you’re so worth it.

HDCO’s New East Nashville Boudoir Studio is Officially Open!
Go behind-the-scenes of our first boudoir photoshoot in Holly Douglas & Company’s brand new East Nashville boudoir studio!
HDCO’s New East Nashville Boudoir Studio is Officially Open!
After months of moving chaos - including a few small renovations to the new studio space, lots of organization, designing our new boudoir sets, and, of course, decorating - Holly Douglas & Co. officially opened our new studio doors to photograph the first boudoir session of 2024 just last week! The lovely Miss A. had the honor of christening our new space, and she gave us permission to share some behind-the-scenes photos from her photoshoot. So, without further ado, we are excited to present this first glimpse inside Holly Douglas and Company’s new East Nashville luxury boudoir studio!
Office / Glam Room
The first stop in Miss A.’s boudoir experience was our bright and welcoming Office/Glam Room. This room is set up with a well-organized glam station where our talented hair & makeup artists can fully pamper our clients before their photoshoots.
Our office desk and computer are set up next to the glam station, and this is where HDCO’s photographers, Holly Douglas and Courtney Bell, will conduct their clients’ same-day Image Reveal sessions after each photoshoot.
Being one of the smaller rooms inside the studio, we were surprised by how the Office/Glam Room manages to feel cozy and intimate without feeling crowded at all. There is actually plenty of space for the photographers and hair & makeup artists to comfortably work side-by-side. We also LOVE the gorgeous natural light that pours in through our East-facing window!
Client Closet
While Miss A. was having her hair and makeup done by our talented artist, Katie, Holly got busy pulling some wardrobe options from our amazing new Client Closet! Holly has spent years curating this fabulous, size-inclusive collection of fine lingerie and accessories for our clients to borrow for their photoshoots, but she’s never been able to display this impressive collection in a way that truly does it justice…until now!
This space in the studio is actually perfect for use as our Client Closet, as it is right outside the restroom/changing room door. Holly and her husband installed this beautiful, industrial-style closet rack system, and heavy curtains were hung to separate the closet from our kitchen area.
Main Living Area
With Miss A.’s hair and makeup camera-ready and her most flattering lingerie pieces chosen, Holly decided to begin her photoshoot in our studio’s Main Living Area.
This room is so spacious that we were able to create two living room sets in one area! However, because Holly decorated both sitting areas in her trademark, maximalist/eclectic style, both sides of the room still look cohesive. This means that we can photograph either side of the room as individual sets, but also photograph the entire space as one large set. Talk about variety!
Bedroom Set
Next up for Miss A.’s boudoir session was our feminine Bedroom Set. This room faces East and is next to our Office/Glam Room, so it also receives tons of gorgeous light! However, it’s a larger room than the office and features three beautiful windows.
When decorating this set, Holly combined both modern and vintage-inspired furniture/decor to give the Bedroom Set a soft and romantic vibe.
Library / Den Set
Holly saved our favorite boudoir set (so far) for last - the Library/Den set! We’re not really sure why this particular room in our new boudoir studio has been our favorite room since day one, but it has. It faces North, just like our Main Living Area, so it receives softer, more indirect light throughout the day, which is every photographer’s dream!
Holly wanted to give this set a much more masculine vibe, so she created a Library/Den featuring a bookshelf, leather sofa, leopard print armchair, wooden coffee table, plants, and several different lamps to give the space warmth.
Photoshoot Results
Overall, we are SO pleased with the photos that were captured during our first photoshoot at the new studio,! We want to thank Miss A. for signing a Model Release and giving us permission to share some behind-the-scenes images, as well the following photos from her boudoir session at Holly Douglas & Co.’s new East Nashville luxury boudoir studio:
“Y’all!!!!! I don’t even know where begin!
This was an amazing experience. I had my session this past Friday. This is their new location and BRAND new studio that is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Like brand new, brand new!!!! I did not realize that I was the first client to have a session here. Oh it was so much more than I can describe.
🔥🔥🔥ITS GO TIME🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥 ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!🔥🔥
Are you for real!!! This BITCH is HOTT!!!! These pictures are absolutely stunning!!! I couldn’t believe just how beautiful these were. How beautiful I was in these pictures. You know sometimes it’s hard for women to take a complimentt and feel beautiful or sexy. We never see ourself through the eyes of someone else. I can not say this ENOUGH!!! DO IT!!! Don’t wait till things in life are just the way you want it or your body this way or that way. JUST MAKE THE APPOINTMENT ❤️❤️❤️,you won’t regret it. As a single mom I felt guilty for doing this for myself. I put so much into everyone else and I had been working so hard that I had said you know what, I don’t care, this is for ME and only ME. I want to put more effort in just making myself feel better about my body and my life. I’m healthy, happy and alive. I had a wonderful experience and would do it again and again!!!! These women LOVE their job and are amazing at it! Take the time, DO THIS FOR YOURSELF❤️❤️❤️”

You guys, this space is incredible, and we cannot wait to begin photographing boudoir sessions here!

Some Features of Holly Douglas & Company’s New Luxury Boudoir Studio in East Nashville, TN
Good lord, where do we even BEGIN?!?!
For starters, the building itself used to be an old church, so it's full of character and charm. Exposed brick and beautiful wood floors everywhere!
Secondly, our new studio is much larger than any of our previous boudoir studios! This incredible space is a whopping 1700 square-feet and contains MULTIPLE different rooms, allowing us to offer a wide variety of sets during every boudoir photoshoot! (And did we mention the gorgeous exposed brick and beautiful wood floors throughout?)
The new Holly Douglas and Co. location is in a great little neighborhood, right in the heart of East Nashville, with plenty of parking available. (BONUS!) So, during the one-hour break between your boudoir photoshoot and same-day Image Reveal, there are plenty of local shops and restaurants nearby (some within walking distance of our studio) for you to explore and enjoy!
The Holly Douglas and Co. East Nashville luxury Boudoir Studio Officially opens in January, 2024!
While we have already wrapped up the boudoir sessions for 2023 that were scheduled at the luxury downtown studio, we still have a number of 2023 boudoir sessions scheduled at our classic boudoir photography studio, Studio 110 in Gallatin, TN. If you currently have a boudoir session scheduled with us there in 2023, your photoshoot will still take place at that location. Otherwise, all future boudoir sessions, including those that have already been scheduled to take place in 2024, will all be in our new East Nashville studio, located at 1101 Chapel Avenue, Suite 202!
