Don’t know where to start once you’ve got an idea? A jumping-off point is finding a location for your shoot that matches the theme you’re going for. This is where Peerspace comes in. Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rental and has tons of locations for rent across the country.

We’ll show you a few Christmas boudoir-perfect photoshoot locations ahead.

So now, let’s give you some ideas to get those creative juices flowing.

1. Get sultry by cultivating some mystical vibes

A key feature of boudoir photography is its sultry aspect. Mysterious is definitely sultry, and mystical sanctuaries have elements of mystery. That’s why for this shoot, we’re taking you to the dim and moody inner sanctum of your own mystic sanctuary. Grab some candles, heavy drapes, perhaps a crystal ball, and you’ll be good to go.

Looking for a sanctuary in Los Angeles, CA? Look no further than the studio at Mystic Manor in Venice. It’s a vibey production space set within a spacious and unique mansion that provides you access to its chic, high-end furnishings and mystical murals and drapery. Consider it a beautiful blank slate for your Christmas boudoir photo ideas!

2. Play the role of sensual Santa in an all-red den

Continuing our theme of moody Christmas boudoir photo ideas, this one takes you into Santa’s den. Of course, you’ll want to decorate the room with red and green and maybe feature a Christmas tree. Whether or not it’s sultry will depend on your outfit and maybe a couple of bonus props, such as candles and heavy red drapes.

To give you an idea of what we’re thinking of, check out Tiger Den ATX in Austin, TX. The sultry red color scheme, plush sofas and chairs, and mood lighting are sure to get you in the right head space for this shoot.

3. Opt for a retro-chic atmosphere set in a colorful, vintage pad

Everything retro is in right now, and we suggest you try to incorporate a retro set into your shoot. Whether you’re going for the red vinyl seats and checker floor of a 1950s diner, or the mid-century modern look of an Andy Warhol associate, we’re 100% positive you can pull off this Christmas boudoir shoot.

In Miami? Take a look at these fabulous retro-themed sets in this one-of-a-kind studio. It can be the perfect setting for a vintage pin-up girl boudoir shoot with a hint of glamour.

4. Take your partner on a psychedelic journey

This photoshoot theme is for the spiritually minded. Those of you who know if this is for you already know what we’re talking about. Lava lamps, a mishmash of vibrant colors, perhaps some surrealist objects – these will all help you pull the look off.

If you’re looking for an example, then look no further than this San Francisco, CA mirrored masterpiece. It’s a petite space covered in mylar. The studio also has LED lights and lasers that you can play with during your shoot to add another layer of fun and mischief.

Learn all about boudoir photography as you prepare to embrace your inner god or goddess!

5. Keep it classy (and sassy!) in the clawfoot tub

That’s right, for this photoshoot idea, we’re suggesting you take this shoot into a clawfoot tub. For the best result, take the tub out of the bathroom and place it in the middle of a light and airy industrial loft with exposed brick walls and wood flooring. Seeing the tub outside of the context of the bathroom will help mediate the intense intimacy of a bathtub shoot.

Looking for a clawfoot tub in Chicago, IL? Check out this industrial apartment equipped with a classic clawfoot tub. The popular and chic studio offers you the use of its gorgeous clawfoot tub along with multiple backdrops, a wicker egg chair, and even more props.

6. Go artsy with a gorgeous gallerina shoot

For this shoot, we’re taking your Christmas boudoir photo ideas into a gallery space. Unexpected, eclectic, and sophisticated, a gallery space provides a spectacular and eye-grabbing backdrop for your sensual boudoir shoot. New year, new you – bring in the coming holiday season with a refined, expensive-looking, and tasteful shoot.

The Philadelphia, PA local looking for a gallery will have to check out this intimate, brick-walled gem. We love its shiny flooring, warm lighting, and of course, its sensational artwork.

7. Let them know that Christmas is music to your ears

This photoshoot is for all the music lovers and makers out there. If you’re infatuated with the recording industry, why not take your holiday shoot in the recording studio? Just bring some festive tinsel, some Christmas lights, and your sultry self, and you’ll be ready to go.

In Boston, MA? Take a gander at this fully equipped and stocked recording studio for rent. The ruby red platform in front of the rustic brick wall is the perfect spot for posing seductively for the camera.

8. Indulge the senses with pondside pleasantries

If you’ve seen Monet’s water lily series, you’ll know just how sensual and graceful ponds can be rendered in art. That’s why for this shoot, we’re taking you to the water’s edge. Dress in flowing fabrics, bring a parasol, and a blanket, and start snapping some pics.

Seeking a pond in Chevy Chase, DD? This private yard with a water lily-strewn pond is as close as you’ll get to a real-life example of Monet’s water lilies. Just imagine posing beside the pond as the sun is setting, ensuring your photographer snaps you coated in golden hour rays.

9. Frolic in your own super sweet Candyland

The sweetest of our Christmas boudoir photo ideas, this shoot takes you into the childhood fantasy of a world made of candy. To make this shoot even more Christmas-themed, you could even construct a set made of gingerbread. If you’re looking to be the sweetest thing this holiday season, you may even want to coordinate your outfit to resemble a candy cane.

Those in San Diego, CA, will have to check out this sweet-as-can-be Candyland-themed nightclub space, which is room after room of colorful and bold Candyland goodness.

10. Embrace a girly neon dreamscape

Looking to get as sensual and girly as possible? Try our neon feminine dreamscape photoshoot, which takes you into the dimly lit and all-pink world of girly delights. Neon can create quite a dramatic atmosphere and works well to backlight you as you pose for the camera.

In Baltimore, MD? This pink neon retro loft could be perfect for you. It includes a pink bedroom set with a bed, a sofa, a record player, a zebra-print rug, a washer and dryer, and of course, pink and neon galore.

11. Don your royal regalia in a queenly setting

For this photoshoot, we’re transporting you into the refined and gilded world of 19th-century royalty, but with a modern twist. While the 19th century may have been too prude for your Christmas boudoir photo ideas, we think the contrast between the setting and content of your shoot will be quite the spectacle. You’ll want some gilded chandeliers, some hardwood furniture, marble, and a fireplace.

In New Orleans, LA? Then you may want to check out the boudoir of this gorgeous historic Treme studio mansion. The gilded mirror, beaded curtain, and glorious natural light all combine to serve a mood and then some.

12. Stand out beautifully in an all-white space

If you’re like us, you look forward to the first real snowfall of the holiday season. Even if you live where it doesn’t snow, you can still embrace this theme with an all-white shoot. Real snow, fake snow, or even snowy white props will all bring this shoot together in the holiday spirit.

For the Seattle, WA resident looking to host this shoot indoors, you’ll want to take a gander at this snowy gem of a studio. It’s an all-white studio with a shabby-chic aesthetic that looks amazing on camera.

You may want to shoot somewhere that’s already furnished, and if you’re in New York, NY, you’ll need to check out this beautiful mid-century home. Its blonde wood furniture, pops of greenery from the lush plant life, and vintage decor make it both sophisticated and dreamy.
