The Boudoir Shoot, A Celebration of Your Femininity
There’s a moment when a woman sees herself through different eyes, softer, stronger, more whole. That moment often happens during a boudoir shoot.
To help you discover what truly makes this experience so transformative, we spoke with Frency Rijkers, the woman behind the lens. Her signature Boudoir Experience has touched countless women’s lives, not just by capturing beauty, but by revealing it from within.
“A boudoir experience is both powerful and vulnerable.”
According to Frency, what makes a boudoir shoot so special is the contrast between strength and surrender.
“Because you literally and figuratively bare yourself, the experience feels pure. You don’t just get a confidence boost, you actually see and feel that you are allowed to take up space. Some women see that for the first time in their lives when they view their photos. That’s incredibly special.”
A mirror to your true self
For many women, this experience becomes a turning point in how they see themselves.
“The impact is enormous. So many women have a low self-image or simply don’t realise how fantastic they truly are — until they see their photos. They’re blown away by their own reflection. That moment of falling in love with yourself can be life-changing. For many, a new chapter begins with more confidence and strength.”

When you first see your photos
What does Frency hope her clients feel in that moment?
“Recognition and amazement, all at once. That instant of knowing that you matter, that you are enough, that you are beautiful just as you are. And there’s always that touch of surprise, it’s even more beautiful than they imagined.”
Creating a safe and empowering space
Before the camera ever clicks, Frency ensures each woman feels seen, heard, and completely at ease.
“The most important thing is that women can truly be themselves. I always plan an intake, either in the studio or online, so we can connect beforehand. In my studio, there’s time, space, and full attention for who you are and why you’re booking this experience. I also show my own vulnerability and create a judgment-free, safe space.”
The power of lingerie
Lingerie plays a central role in setting the tone and energy of the session.
“Lingerie makes you feel sensual, it awakens your femininity and deepens your connection with yourself. Together we choose what fits your personality and what you want to express. I love showing all sides of a woman: bold, classy, romantic, sweet, playful, or edgy. Everything is possible, and we can create multiple looks for a beautiful, diverse series.”
(At NIN, we couldn’t agree more. The right lingerie doesn’t just dress your body, it celebrates it.)
A distinctive photographic style
Frency’s images are known for their emotion, authenticity, and a touch of mystery.
“My style is mysterious, powerful, and raw, stylish yet vulnerable. I love authenticity and natural beauty without embellishment. My photos are honest, disarming, and pure. I often work with shadow and contrast, I adore backlight, and I’m very precise with posing, everything has to align without looking staged. Every shot feels like a real moment.”
A luxury experience from start to finish
Every Boudoir Experience unfolds in three stages: the intake, the shoot, and the reveal.
“During the intake we discuss your wishes and your story. Two weeks later comes the shoot, and on the same day, the reveal: the magical moment when you see your photos for the first time. Then I finalise your selection, and during the festive pick-up, you come to collect your finished artwork.”
Throughout the entire process, Frency offers guidance, encouragement, and warmth.
“A boudoir shoot can feel exciting, but it’s mostly so much fun and deeply healing. You’ll truly learn to see yourself through new eyes.”
Turning nerves into laughter
“I help women relax by keeping things lighthearted. We laugh a lot, I demonstrate every pose, and I’m never afraid to poke fun at myself. Humor is essential! I also listen deeply and never judge. We only do what feels right for you. Everyone ends up feeling incredibly comfortable and they always say it was the best day ever.”
Lasting impressions
Some experiences linger long after the camera is turned off.
“One woman told me, ‘I came home as a new person. The experience left a deep, loving impact.’ Another said, ‘I laughed and cried during the reveal, I’ve never felt so beautiful. Seeing myself like that was beyond words.’”
Those are the moments that define Frency’s work — and why her boudoir photography has become more than a photoshoot. It’s a celebration of femininity, self-love, and truth.
