Ashley advises clients to don loose-fitting clothing in the hours leading up to the shoot to avoid the appearance of lines.

Vixen Boudoir & Pin Up Studio
At Vixen Boudoir & Pin Up Studio, women pose for sultry shots wearing intricate lingerie sets, wrapping themselves in feather boas, or doffing a jaunty top hat. However, the photos’ aesthetic is only partially a result of the chosen outfit—it’s also a product of the photographer, Ashley Duggan. Duggan guides women of all sizes and personalities through the boudoir and pin-up process, suggesting outfits and poses more provocative than lounging on a bed under a thick comforter. She knows the idea of a boudoir photo shoot can be scary for some, so she tries to set clients at ease with a preshoot consultation and relaxed atmosphere.
