Artistic Boudoir Photography.

Based in Boulder, CO since 2015

Welcome to Fawntail Boudoir Photography!

Hello, I’m Petra. I’m a portrait photographer based in Boulder, CO and I’ve been photographing women for almost 9 years now. I love what I get to do, and I have done over a thousand photoshoots with happy amazing clients and I hope you will soon be one of them! I’m here to photograph all the beautiful, wonderful things that you are. Together I know we will create images you will love and treasure and help you feel amazing and empowered.

The most common thing my clients say to me is that their session was so much easier and way more fun than they expected, even if they came in feeling a little nervous and unsure. I promise, if they can do it, I know you can too! You are worthy and you are worth it.

So if you’re even a little bit curious, if you feel like I’m speaking to you, if you’re scared but want to feel brave, book that free chat with me! Take the first step, I believe in you! We're going to have an awesome time working together and in the end you're going to love yourself a little more, and that's priceless. 

♡ Petra

It's time to love yourself a little more.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Because I photograph women of all different sizes, I do not keep more than a few universal prop pieces at the studio (I have a few lacy robes, a veil, some fun fabric.)

    We’ll thoroughly go over wardrobe when we chat, but depending on which session you book you’ll want to bring a few outfits. My advice is to start in your closet, you may have a simple black bra & underwear set, or a bodysuit, paired with a sweater, white shirt, jean jacket, leather jacket, tank top, whatever you have and there you go! So many options to choose from already!

    If you do want to do some shopping, I’ll make some suggestions when we chat about what I think might fit your style best, and share my master list of lingerie sites with you.

  • My pricing is super straightforward and based on the length of your session & the editing time and corresponding digital images. All session come with fully edited digital images in an online gallery. Some sessions come with printed items, or you can add on any prints or books to any session. You can see my full pricing here but sessions start at $445, and an average investment is typically $1500.

  • If you’re on a deadline, contact me as soon as possible! Dates book up typically several months in advance depending on the month, but I have reschedules and new openings all the time, so don't hesitate to reach out! Typically I book up to 6 months out. The turnaround time is about 3-4 weeks including ship times so plan accordingly for special events. If you’re a planner and you’re really far out, it doesn’t hurt to go ahead and get in touch so we can start planning, or reserve a date if you have one in mind. I have started chatting with future clients as much as 2 years before their sessions!

  • You are great the way you are! But if you want to feel extra prepared, I usually tell clients to think of your session as a special event, like a wedding. You want to feel your best, but you don’t need to go overboard. You may chose to freshen up your hair, polish your nails, give your body a good scrub and moisturize, but there's nothing extensive you need to do.

    When we chat I’ll go over the important stuff, and you’ll get access to my full timeline checklist that has everything you’ll need to get ready for your day in front of the camera.

  • What you show is totally up to you! For setups like the In The Sheets, you can cover up entirely, stick a leg out, or bare it all for a few shots if you want.

    The Shadowbox looks gorgeous fully nude, because it’s all about celebrating your shape and skin, but plenty of clients do a hybrid with some more clothed, and some nude. You can always see how you feel on the day.

    Even if you are completely nude, rest assured that my images are always tasteful and classic.

    You don’t even have to wear lingerie if that’s not your thing. A tank top, slouchy sweater over a bralette, flowy shirt, even leggings, there are so many ways to customize a session to fit your comfort and taste.

  • Your privacy and safety is my biggest priority. I take extensive steps to make sure your images are safe, and I never post your photos anywhere without your permission. At the Reveal session you’ll have the opportunity to decide which, if any, photos you are comfortable sharing, and if you don't want to share any, that's totally ok! Your images are private to you unless you choose otherwise.

  • After your session it typically takes 1-2 weeks for me to edit your session. If it's a particularly busy month it might take longer, but I'll always let you know, and I have your deadline written down, so don't worry, I've got you! Once your images are ready, we will schedule a reveal session where you will see all your beautiful images!

    If you're ordering something printed, it usually takes another week to receive your products.

  • If you are an influencer, small business, or model or just looking for a more creative shoot with a specific look in mind, let me know! I work with brands and businesses all the time. Or if you have done a session before with me or someone else and you want to talk about a special location, or more personalized style, I’m always up for a fun, creative challenge.
