First Boudoir Studio
2018 was the year my dreams became reality
By Catherine Cooper|Published September 25, 2026

2018 was the year Catherine Cooper Photography (my boudoir studio) opened its doors, and I still get a little emotional looking back at it. Let me show you why.

“These women chose me to create their beautiful memories.”
I photographed 132 women in 2018, at my first ever boudoir studio. I'm not able to gather them all together for this blog post. Some of them would like to remain a secret (and that's okay). But putting this collage of photos together made my heart melt.
These women chose me to create their beautiful memories, and I will always be so grateful for that. Thank you to every woman of 2018.



What the Dallas boudoir studio is today
The studio is still right there: a private loft at 4140 Commerce St, Suite 202, Dallas. One client a day, and the whole day is yours. You get your hair and makeup done, four looks, and posing guided from start to finish. Then you take a break and grab lunch nearby while I prepare your photos, and come back for your private same-day reveal.
And that secret part? Still honored. Every woman you see here gave me written permission to share her images. If you'd rather stay a secret, you stay a secret. Period.



Final thoughts
To every woman who walked up those stairs in 2018... thank you. You built this studio as much as I did.
If you've been wondering what it looks like inside, [here's the whole day, start to finish](/experience), or [see more of the photos made here](/portfolio). And if you want to know what a first session is really like, [I answered the ten questions I hear the most](/blog/first-time-boudoir-photoshoot-questions).
Love,Catherine
