Northwest Wisconsin’s premier Boudoir Photographer
Why boudoir?
heal your inner voice
True or False. Has your partner healed all of your body issues? It’s your job to heal yourself, it happens in so many ways. But personally for me, I’ve never listened to one person telling me how I should feel. It’s our job to heal us, It’s our job to rewire our voices in our heads. Boudoir is the perfect way to do that.
feel sexy af
Imagine this: you walk in the door feeling uncomfortable and awkward. Almost immediately you are welcomed, with the sense that you’ve known Julie for years. You’re having such an amazing time that you forget to look at your phone. You are too focused on how beautiful you look, and feel. Everyone deserves to feel this. You are sexy AF! My job is to teach you!
push fear/limits
Everyone is afraid of showing their curves, acne, cellulite, scars, stretch marks, and all the, “imperfections,” you see. Girl, you don’t even know how undeniably sexy you are. A shoot with me will push all your fear away, and what is left is the feeling of fulfillment and gratitude for who you are!
Who the f is Julie Boudoir?
Hey besties! I’m Julie Shetler, the creator of this bada$$ woman-owned business. I started this business when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, so I know what’s up. I am here to break the stigma that Boudoir is NOT CORN! It is for all shapes, sizes, colors, and ages. I teach women to have an inner voice, and remember they are sexy AF!
FAQs
I want to book, but what if i’m awkward AND weird?
You assume all my clients are confident. How could they not be? Look at all their gorgeous, bold photos. Truth is: they are just like you, just like me. Awkward, nervous, and maybe a little strange. I am here to be your personal cheerleader behind the camera. I swear, all your nerves will leave as you enter. You are free to be your awkward self with me!
What does a session day look like?
Your session day starts at 9am at Mindy’s Menagerie for full hair and makeup services. After Mindy makes you feel as stunning as you are, you head to the studio immediately. The famous Lingerie Closet is next, sizes ranging from xs-6x. I will suggest the perfect outfit/s for your shape and skin tone. You will get your choice of 1-6 outfits. Your photoshoot is next! Shooting time depends on your package, but could take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
WILL I HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO POSE MYSELF?
Absolutely not! As a professional, I have 19 years of experience teaching you how to pose your body to the utmost perfection. I will guide you through every movement, down to the placement of your fingertips and pointed toes. And I know the best angles for your beautiful curves. Don’t worry at all! I’ve got you. Would your Hairdresser ask you to cut your own hair before you came? Of course not! You’re good girl!
What does a session day look like? cont.
After your shoot, you will head to town for lunch. Your order appointment is the last event of the day. Plan on up to 90 minutes. This is where we narrow down the extremely hard process of your favorite photos. Why is it so hard? Because you will love them all. You will usually be out of the studio by 4pm. Your order can be shipped directly to you, or you can pick them up at the studio! Plan on about 6-8 weeks.
Where are you located? where does the session take place?
My studio is located outside of Siren, Wisconsin. I am about 3 miles outside of town, giving you full privacy for your session day. I have a full studio with fabulous sets to choose from. I often get asked how far people travel and the answer is forever! I have had people fly, drive many hours, and even stay at a hotel in town. Siren is the cutest little village, you won’t regret the trip!
can my session be anonymous?
Of course your session can be anonymous! I totally understand if you don’t want your photos to be posted online. Or if you’re in a position where you can’t. Your next thought, what if she tells? Babe, I’ve got you. It goes against everything I believe in to tell. And I want to build trust with you! However, I do believe Boudoir should never be something that one is shamed for. The purpose is to celebrate your beauty!
“Absolutely amazing experience.
I have followed Julie's photography journey for years and love seeing her teach women empowerment through photography. But it's honestly so much more than just photography, it's an entire experience! I have had so many things taken from me through traumatic experiences and completely lost myself. This photo shoot for me was about taking back what is mine and owning it. I put all my trust in Julie and she didn't let me down. I wore things I never would have thought to pick for myself and through the lense of her camera she showed me my beauty. She reminded me I am a strong, independent woman and this is MY body, none of which are to be ashamed of. I have control over my life and my body. Thank you Julie for sharing some of your journey and in turn getting myself to open up to you. I was definitely emotional, in a GOOD way, on my way home. Life changing and I definitely see myself doing this again as well as now having Julie as a friend whether she likes it or not invest in yourself ladies!! I loved it so much that the photo I chose for my wall art was more to remind me of the experience.”

“Julie makes you feel more like family than a client.”
“I had my session four years ago and couldn’t wait to come back. Julie makes you feel more like family than just a client. She always makes you feel beautiful. The studio is always so clean and welcoming. If you are on the fence, I say take the leap. You will not be sorry you did it.”

“I booked for two reasons.
One to commemorate and celebrate my 50th and because my husband is always saying he wishes I could see myself through his eyes. I thought this was the closest way to do that. OMG! Julie was my favorite part of my session. The energy started when I walked through the front door! She is the second best hype person I’ve ever met. First one is my hubby. By the second outfit, I was strutting around in my thong and fishnets because Julie makes it that easy and comfortable. Man, did she make me feel how beautiful I am. Full on hype, woman! The studio and changing room/ lingerie closet were cozy, sexy, and comfortable. I felt at home the second I entered thanks to Julie and her amazing set up. YES! I would recommend that everyone - every age, every size, every single woman out there treats herself to this experience. Wow! Just wow! That’s all I can say. From the hair and make-up to the photos- The whole thing made me feel AMAZING!”
