Photo Taken by Sanctuary Boudoir in Dallas, TX
Boudoir Isn’t Just a Photoshoot. It’s a Sacred Experience.
Boudoir photography has long been misunderstood as something only for models or relationship milestones. But in Dallas, women are flipping the script and redefining boudoir as an act of radical self-love. And no one is capturing that transformation quite like Emma Jaye of Sanctuary Boudoir, the luxury boudoir studio tucked into the heart of the Cedars neighborhood.
Sanctuary Boudoir offers more than beautiful photos. It delivers an an empowering experience capturing body and spirit, as unique as you. But don’t just take our word for it—these women said it best:
“I was utterly amazed by Emma's artistry — and by her subject! I truly couldn’t believe it was me. I am beautiful. I thanked Emma for capturing what I hadn't been able to see in myself.”

“Emma Jaye’s photography isn’t just a photo session, it’s a soul searching, art creating experience... She takes the time to listen to who you are as a human, a woman, a mother, a wife, and yet somehow in her magical camera lens manages to bring you right back to yourself."

Emma healed a huge part of me and I have never loved my body more than I do now. I walked out of the photoshoot feeling like the most beautiful, confident, sexiest and the absolute badass woman I am. The pictures are absolutely stunning and exceeded all my expectations. Emma is truly passionate about her work and it shows. This experience will always have a special place in my heart. I cannot wait to do it again for my 40th!

“ I was very (VERY) nervous going into my shoot and Emma Jaye put me at ease immediately. We got to chatting about life, what I wanted from the shoot, and got to work. Emma Jay not only explained the poses, the key features and the look we were going for, but got on the ground to demonstrate every single one. She guided me, someone who is not one to be in front of a camera, perfectly from pose to pose, moving a curl from here to there, changing the angle of a toe point, and perfecting a pinky. I never once had to wonder "is this right" because she set everything up so perfectly. Literally all you have to do is show up and she makes the magic happen.”

“Incredible doesn’t even begin to describe it. I never thought someone like me, a “big girl”, deserved to have a boudoir photoshoot, much less look good, dare I say stunning, in lingerie and even nude. I fully expected to be struggling to pick enough photos for my album, but after seeing the photos I could have ordered every single one. The photos started out for me, for “woman empowerment,” and so I could maybe, just maybe, see myself the way my husband does. The timing worked out that I was going to get my photos returned right around our 2 year wedding anniversary and thought it would be a perfect gift for my husband as well. It ended up being a better gift for myself!"

“ I had the best experience. Emma was incredible at making me feel comfortable, free, sexy, and beautiful. Her photographs and presentation are above and beyond anything I expected. While I love the final product, the experience of just shooting with her was so liberating I wish I could do it all over again. "
-Boudoir Client Reclaiming Her Confidence
"First of all, Emma is such a rockstar. She’s also incredibly warm, down to earth, and genuine. Her vibe behind the camera is so natural you feel like girlfriends hanging out even when she’s guiding you to pose as the ultimate seductress (very detailed feedback on all angles and expressions- no pressure to come knowing anything about modeling). I felt encouraged, supported, safe, sexy, and glamorous during our shoot together. I literally cried when I got the photos back. I’d never felt more beautiful. You cannot go wrong selecting her as your photographer. From the moment you enter the studio to the moment you’re hanging a framed photo of yourself in your own bedroom because DAMN you look so good, you will be happy you invested in this experience. We’re as young as we’ll ever be!! Embrace it now so you can cherish it forever."
-Boudoir Client Gifting Herself A Self-Love Experience
“I came to Emma Jaye when my confidence was low. I just had my second baby, and my body was not behaving in the way I hoped. But the day of the photo shoot, little by little she restored a love I forgot I owed to myself. She walked me through poses that not only looked good in the finished product, but felt good and powerful during the shoot. She made me feel like a goddess, full of beauty and potential. I cannot thank her enough for helping me in my journey, and I have the photos to celebrate this confidence every day.”
-Boudoir Client Reconnecting With Her Body Postpartum
"I think I could write a novel on how incredible my boudoir experience with Emma was. From the first consultation phone call all the way through to the end Emma creates a warm, welcoming and luxurious experience for you. Emma’s approach to boudoir is thoughtful, intentional and passionate and that is evident through the art she creates of you. All you have to do is show up and at the end you will have work that leaves you speechless. As most of us aren’t models, it can be scary to get in front of a camera and not know what to do. Emma is a master at posing instructions and takes all of the pressure away and will tell you exactly what to move, relax or boost up (😉) down to the pinky finger. This is a once in a lifetime experience, cannot recommend enough!"
