Los Angeles / SoCal Studio
Los Angeles Boudoir Photographer.
Marilyn Lou Boudoir runs an editorial boudoir studio in Valencia, at the north edge of the Los Angeles metro, and travels across LA and Orange County for location sessions. Sessions happen at the studio, at private residences, or at curated hotel suites matched to the look you want. Hair and makeup available. All-female team. Run by Jennifer Marilyn, who has photographed in Southern California for nearly a decade.

The LA studio is based in Valencia, in the Santa Clarita Valley just off Interstate 5, and the work extends across the whole metro from there. Some sessions happen at the studio. Many happen on location, because a lot of editorial boudoir in this city is shot in fixed studios that bear no resemblance to the spaces clients actually live in. When the work calls for it, we bring the studio to the right setting: your home in Beverly Hills, a friend's place in the canyon, a hotel suite in Santa Monica with the right window, or a design-forward rental in the Hollywood Hills chosen for the architecture.
The result is editorial work shot in spaces with character, which translates to better images. Jennifer Marilyn has photographed in Southern California for nearly a decade, originally as a wedding photographer alongside her husband Michael Anthony, and now as a boudoir specialist running this studio across both metros. The LA work is consistent with the rest of the studio's output: directed posing, editorial lighting, an all-female team, and printed products built to outlast the iPhone you scrolled through to find us.
We serve the full LA metro from the Valencia base: the Santa Clarita Valley itself, plus Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Pasadena, Malibu, Calabasas, the Hollywood Hills, the San Fernando Valley, and Orange County (anchored in Newport Beach and Laguna). Each city has a dedicated page with the neighborhoods, considerations, and client base specific to that market.
Every session includes full direction from the first frame to the last, a curated wardrobe guide sent before the session, and a private reveal appointment to choose what becomes an album, wall art, or digital files. Professional hair and makeup is available. There is no minimum order. Most clients invest between $1,000 and $2,000 between session fee and product order.

Los Angeles boudoir FAQ
Questions from LA clients.
- Where is the Marilyn Lou Boudoir studio in Los Angeles?
- Our Los Angeles studio is in Valencia, at 26007 Huntington Lane #10, in the Santa Clarita Valley just off Interstate 5. From that home base we serve the wider LA metro and Orange County, traveling to private residences and curated hotel suites for sessions across the region.
- Which LA neighborhoods do you serve?
- Beyond the Valencia studio and the Santa Clarita Valley, we regularly serve Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Pasadena, Malibu, Calabasas, the Hollywood Hills, the San Fernando Valley, and Orange County (anchored in Newport Beach and Laguna). Each city has its own dedicated page with the neighborhoods and details specific to that market.
- Do you travel for sessions across LA and Orange County?
- Yes. Beyond the Valencia studio, we travel across the LA metro and Orange County for location sessions. We coordinate the setting (your residence, a hotel suite you have already booked, or a curated rental we recommend) and bring lighting, wardrobe, and the hair and makeup team. The result is the same editorial quality wherever the session happens.
- What does an LA boudoir session cost?
- Session fees start at $399 for studio sessions (or your booked location within the standard metro radius) and $549 for location sessions outside the standard radius. Hair and makeup is available. Product orders are purchased separately. Most clients invest between $1,000 and $2,000 total.
- How far in advance should I book?
- LA sessions book on average eight weeks out, with bridal boudoir filling first in the spring and fall wedding seasons. Same-week inquiries are sometimes possible during quieter weeks. Inquire as soon as you have a target window.
