Celebratory Boudoir ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir ::: Orange County Boudoir

When your own words can’t possibly top what she has to say.

In her own words…

“My mom was my best friend who I talked to every single day (I lived in Vegas; she lived in CA). She unexpectedly passed away in February 2015. In September 2015, I finally decided to get my life together to lose weight to have a better life and be healthy. I have lost 160 lbs since then and this photoshoot was a celebration of that, along with turning 35 years old, and loving life. I chose the date for the shoot as that was my mom's birthday. She would have LOVED the idea of the photoshoot and would have been right there with me if she were here. This photoshoot meant so much to me and I can't tell you enough how much I love the pictures and how great it was working with you both.


Grace and Lace Boudoir is life-changing!!! I found them, via Instagram, and fell in love with their photography. Decided as a birthday present to myself to book a session. I was amazed by the professionalism of Jeni and Sarah and how they both make you feel at home and gorgeous! I had the best time and am looking forward to booking more sessions in the future! No experience is necessary. Hair and makeup are done for you and you're told (and showed) exactly how to pose!”

Is Boudoir on your Bucket List? ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir ::: Orange County Boudoir

Bucket lists. Most of us have them. Some of us want to travel to exotic places (well, ok, maybe after CV19), others want to something adventurous like skydive or bungee jump, some want to get married, have kids or adopt. But have you considered boudoir for your list? Boudoir is simply celebrating your life, no matter what stage you are in it. It’s something that will help you live your ideal life, right here, right now. It’s about living. And if these last few months have been anything for us, it’s a reminder that this life is WORTH LIVING and living well. It can push your boundaries and give you a sense of accomplishment like nothing else can.

Contact us today if you are ready to celebrate the most incredible person ever - YOU.

Boudoir is for all ages ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir ::: Orange County Boudoir

A common objection I hear from women over 40 about having a boudoir session done is their age. I think women remember themselves when they were younger and feel like a boudoir session is something that should have been done in their 20’s or 30’s thus buying into the myth that boudoir is only for younger women. Pshhh. I beg to differ… Age doesn’t matter when it comes to beauty.

Sure, we might not look or feel like we did in our 20’s, but guess what? We have had time to know our bodies (yep, I’m lumping myself in this, too). We already know how to look great and how to feel sexy. A boudoir session is just a way to bring that confidence back out into the spotlight!

Whether you’re looking to celebrate a milestone birthday or spice up an anniversary or birthday, boudoir is the perfect way to bring that confidence out.

This gorgeous gal, while needing to remain anonymous because of her job, is a stunner who is in her 60’s. She came and she conquered it!

“Getting old is a privilege, an art, a gift. Accumulating gray hairs, pulling the pages off of the calendar, and celebrating birthdays should always be a reason for happiness. Happiness for life and everything it means to be here.”

Virtual Session ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir :::: Orange County Boudoir

“It’s ok to enjoy your life while you have a problem. Being miserable won’t make it go away any faster.” ~Joyce Meyer

During the stay-at-home orders, I grabbed my beautiful friend (and 2 time client!) who lives 5 hours away and we did a virtual boudoir session with our phones! Gotta love technology!! It was so fun. It challenged me and made me think outside the box in so many different ways. It tested my verbal skills but it soothed my ache-y, creative soul in a way that it desperately needed. They’re not print worthy caliber, but they are definitely creative and fun and it was a great pick me up for both of us at a time when we needed it most. I’m so grateful for that.

Are we the studio for you? ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir ::: Orange County Boudoir

If deep, meaningful conversations scare you … we might not be the studio for you. We go above and beyond to get to know you. You are so much more than just a client to us. We want you to feel valued here - that’s more than just showing someone you care. We want you to feel heard, to be seen, to feel known. We choose to go deeper with our clients because we see you as friends. We trudge through any assumptions, tensions, expectations, or awkwardness you have coming in to help us get to know you better and for you to get to know us better. You’re never gonna hear us brag about the hundreds of clients we see in a year because we don’t shoot hundreds of clients a year. We average about 6-8 clients a month. This helps us remember the details about you - the stories you choose to share with us. We’re not a churn and burn business and never will be. And we’re damn proud of that!

The Grass Is Already Green Under Your Feet ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir

Isn’t it silly that we’re like people who look across a river to admire the view, but we’re oblivious to the ones on the other side looking back at us through their own binoculars? Look under your own feet, friends. The grass is already green - no matter what season of life you’re in.
It’s about changing your perspective. A true perspective allows us to see a view from many angles. One with a better understanding, self-awareness, and gratitude.

So excited to finally share these images :)

Anonymous, In Her Own Words ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir

We love when clients take the time out of their day to write a review for us. Not only does it help bolster our own ego, ;) , but it also really helps future clients who might be on the fence or are really nervous before their own session. Reading words from actual clients help make it all the more real for them.

Miss R - In her own words…

“I was recommended to Grace and Lace Boudoir by a few friends as I sought out advice on a Groom’s gift for my fiancé, now husband :)

I was super nervous and all I had done was book the appointment! This is something totally out of my element and not anything I would have ever dreamed of doing. I started to feel better because the email I received back was friendly and very informative. I seriously must have read it 50 times in the weeks leading up to my session.

The day finally arrives, and there’s a cute sign on the door welcoming me. Music was playing and they offered me a drink, which totally helped me relax and feel comfortable. Sarah is hands down the best hair and makeup artist in existence! Her work is seriously amazing, and thank God because there’s no way I would have been able to do what she did. I was so sad when I finally had to wash my face later that day haha. Jeni was encouraging, direct, and so patient! She showed me exactly how to pose and was patient with me when I was like, no my body doesn’t do that or as I asked multiple times what she meant lol. After we were finished, I was surprised at how easy they made it for me, and that I actually had fun doing it! You really kind of appreciate yourself for being bold and daring and having that confidence to just do it.

The day I viewed my photos, I literally could not believe that they were of me. Like completely shocked and surprised and sooo excited at the same time! The photos came out so incredibly amazing. Like my jaw dropped at how phenomenal they turned out. I can’t thank Sarah enough for making me look amazing and Jeni for shooting at all the right angles! These two women are AWESOME and this is definitely an experience every woman should try!”
