Why Boudoir Photography?
Boudoir photography is not about taking photos in lingerie - it's about loving yourself in nothing BUT lingerie. Having a boudoir session is all about reclaiming your inner confidence by taking the time to appreciate & love yourself.

The Jewel B Experience
Our boudoir experience is all about you! From start to finish, your session day will be flooded with positivity and uplifting adventures. Here's a closer look into our luxury experience.
Consultation Phone Call
Your boudoir journey begins with a 15-minute phone call. Seriously, that's all it takes!
We want to know all about what you want to get out of your session so that we can best serve you.
During your complimentary consultation phone call, we'll get to know each other better and start planning your boudoir experience. We'll book your session date at this time too. (How exciting!)
The Boudoir Session
Once the day of your session arrives, you'll meet us here at our private studio location.
Our professional beautician will take great care of you while styling your hair & makeup. Once you're satisfied with your look, we'll select outfits and dive into your session.
The shoot itself will take 75+ minutes while Julie walks you through all of the poses. We'll tak care of everything for you, so all you'll have to focus on is having fun!
Same-Day Reveal
After we've finished taking your photos, we'll all take a brief break for about 15 to 20 minutes. You can hang out in our lounge where we provide snacks and beverages. We have free wifi and tv.
After that, we'll sit down together to show you your pictures the very same day. We have a wide range of luxury albums, wall art, and prints to choose from.
After you've chosen your products, you can expect them to arrive around 6 weeks post-purchase.

About Us
Founded in 2019, Jewel B is the premier boudoir photography studio in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, IA area. Our mission is to help everybody grow in their journey of self-love.
There are photographers of all kinds in the world, but my specialty is boudoir. We fell in love with boudoir because we see firsthand how this changes people and changes the way they see themselves. Everyone walks a little taller and we love hearing, “That is me? Wow!” or “I am beautiful – I love me!”
Our supportive all-female team is ready to welcome you into the studio. Reach out to our studio to learn more about our lingerie photoshoots or to schedule yours today!

More Love Notes
"You Will Not Be Dissapointed!"
"I had the best experience with Jewel Boudoir. I went in and was very nervous and insecure about myself."
"She made my whole experience safe, comfortable and pulled me out of my comfort zone, was so scary at first then she made me feel amazing about myself. I highly highly recommend her."
"You will not be disappointed. I can definitely tell you my husband was not."
-Miss L
"I Couldn't Believe My Eyes."
"I am so very glad I did this photoshoot!! My expectations were blown out of the water! The whole experience was unbelievable. Then when I saw the pictures I couldn’t believe my eyes. "
"My husband was blown away with the reveal! I loved when we’d get to a picture he liked and he was quick to respond. 16 years of marriage and this was a big reminder of “I still got it!” What a fabulous day!"
-Miss S
"I Want To Do This Again!"
"The idea of a boudoir photo shoot can be intimidating. Julie and her staff definitely alleviate that! I was pampered and felt very comfortable. Julie is wonderful and supportive. I was absolutely awed by my photos! My husband loves them. I want to do this again!"
"I typically overthink things, research and take a careful approach to decisions. This was one of my best. So glad I did it! I very RARELY post reviews. I highly recommend. Book now!"
