Portraits of Pride: Why Boudoir Photography is a Radical Act of Self-Love for the LGBTQ+ Community

At Buxom Betty Boudoir, we believe in the power of being seen—exactly as you are.

This Pride Month, we’re spotlighting the LGBTQ+ community with our Portraits of Pride Model Call: a special celebration of identity, love, sensuality, and radical self-acceptance. No modeling experience is necessary. All bodies, all gender expressions, all love is welcome here.

🌈 LGBTQ+ clients are always welcome, affirmed, and celebrated at Buxom Betty. This isn’t a one-time invitation—this is simply our way of highlighting and amplifying the beauty and diversity already at the heart of our studio.

Why Boudoir Photography Matters for the LGBTQ+ Community

Boudoir isn’t just about lingerie or sexy photos. For many in the LGBTQ+ community, boudoir is a reclamation—a personal revolution. It’s a moment to say:

“This is me. Fully. Fiercely. Unapologetically.”

In a world that often tries to shrink or silence queer bodies and stories, boudoir becomes something more. It’s liberation through lens. It’s healing. It’s visibility. It’s joy. Whether you’re celebrating gender euphoria, embracing your body after years of dysphoria, honoring a relationship that defies norms, or simply saying “yes” to yourself—you deserve to be seen, honored, and turned into art.

What’s Included in the Portraits of Pride Experience

💋 A personalized consultation to tailor your session to your vibe and comfort
💄 Full professional hair and makeup (for every gender identity and expression)
📸 A fully guided, body-positive boudoir shoot at our Chagrin Falls studio

This Is for You If:

  • You're a trans, nonbinary, or queer person craving affirmation and celebration

  • You’re in a same-gender or nontraditional relationship and want photos that reflect your passion + love story

  • You’ve never seen someone like you in boudoir photos—and you want to change that

  • You’ve overcome, you're becoming, or you’re just f*cking fabulous and want to honor it

At Buxom Betty Boudoir, we don’t do cookie-cutter. We celebrate you—your story, your softness, your power. We’re known throughout Cleveland for creating a safe, luxe, empowering experience for women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and anyone who’s ever felt like boudoir “wasn’t for them.” Spoiler alert: it is.

Limited Spots. Unlimited Pride.

Still Feeling Nervous?

Totally normal. We hear it all the time—until the shoot starts. And then the most common thing we hear is:

“I’ve never felt more like myself.”

Come as you are. Leave feeling even more you.
