The 40 Over 40 Experience is more than just a photo shoot; it’s a transformative journey that helps you put aside insecurities and see yourself in a new light. We understand that every woman deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and unapologetically herself, and our skilled team is here to make that happen.
Don’t miss this chance to celebrate your strength, beauty, and confidence. Apply to be part of our 40 Over 40 Experience and take the first step toward a renewed sense of self. If selected to participate, we’ll WAIVE your boudoir session fee (normally $600)!
The women you see here are not professional models; they are everyday women just like you: mothers, grandmothers, and professionals. My photography sessions are not meant to conceal who these women are but to reveal the best versions of themselves. My goal is to guide you through an ultimate pampering experience, allowing you to re-enter the world with a renewed sense of self.
See what these gorgeous women had to say about their sessions with us.
“I’m doing this as a wedding gift for my husband, and I’m really excited for him to get a hold of it.”

– MISS M
Every one of our boudoir experiences start with a complimentary consultation call. During this call, we’ll get to know each other better and start planning your dream boudoir experience. We’ll also take a look at our calendars and find a good date to book your session!
Leading up to your session, we’ll continue to send you preparation advice for how to prepare your session.
Professional hair & makeup styling is included in our boudoir sessions. We work with Orange County’s top artists to ensure that your makeup look enhances your natural beauty with a camera-ready look.
This transformation is more than just a touch-up; it’s an act of self-care that helps you embrace your body and celebrate your unique beauty, empowering you to let go of any doubts and step into the spotlight with confidence and courage.
After your hair and makeup, we’ll take a look at all the selections you’ve brought for your wardrobe as well as make additional selections from our client closet.
Our client closet has stunning pieces meant for ALL body types (sizes xxs-6xl). It’s a curated collection of luxury & designer items meant to suit the preferences of many women. Lori has extensive experience with styling outfits, so you’re guaranteed to have outfits that suit your style, personality, and body!
Once your outfits have all been selected, the fun begins – the actual photo session! Our studio has the most luxurious sets that offer a variety of themes, props, and lighting options for you to pose (and play) in!
There’s no fear involved either- although our sets may look like they come right out of a fashion magazine, that doesn’t mean you need to have the experience of a model to pose in them. Lori will be with you every step of the way, guiding you so that you feel confident and comfortable.
Once your session is complete, we’ll take some time to retouch the photos of your session. This is to ensure your photos come out exactly as Lori intended and are ready for print.
Lori will also take the time to smooth your skin, touch up any imperfections, and make sure you look your best in every photo. The point of retouching is NOT to turn you into somebody you won’t recognize, rather to accentuate your best features and create artwork that represents your true self!
Now, it’s time to unwind and indulge. Relax with some bubbly champagne and gourmet popcorn as we showcase your photos on the grand screen in our glamorous theater room. This is a poignant moment, so savor every second – this is the authentic you at your absolute best.
Next, we’ll carefully navigate through each photo, guiding you to select your favorites. Together, we will craft your dream boudoir album and explore a selection of premium products, including exquisite wall art, for you to have and hold and treasure forever.
Infuse every day with your sensuality and confidence with amazing wall art, albums, and more for your home. Our products are meticulously sourced from around the globe to deliver the most premium works of art.

LYDIA’S EXPERIENCE
“Who sees themselves the way others do? My self-image does not auto-focus on looking Pinterest ready. The reason I do an annual sitting with Lori Brystan is because in times of struggle, the images of my better self helps.”
“To say she is a photographer is like saying Rembrandt painted. Through her lens, I see reflected back the pride with which God created me. Unique. Worthy. Sight qeues all the other senses. Confidence is restored. I am the woman in the photograph.”
