Boudoir, but make it metal
his isn’t your typical boudoir session.
Think less lace and soft lighting — and more warrior goddess energy. This chainmail boudoir shoot was all about raw power, unapologetic confidence, and fierce feminine fire. We shot on location at Seal Cove Cypress Tree Tunnel and Moss Beach in Half Moon Bay — a coastal gem that feels straight out of a mythic dream. Towering trees, golden light, moody textures, and ocean views made this the perfect setting for a boudoir session that breaks all the rules.
Alternative Boudoir, Reimagined
Boudoir isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether your vibe is soft and sultry or bold and battle-ready, your session should reflect your version of power and beauty. For this shoot, we ditched the traditional lingerie for handcrafted chainmail, and let the ocean breeze and ancient trees do the rest. Add in some badass ink, a spiked flail, and a fearless attitude — and we had something truly unforgettable.
Location Perks: Easy, Scenic, and Totally Worth It
Seal Cove and Moss Beach are not only stunning — they’re also super accessible.
Here’s why this spot works so well for a shoot like this:
Free parking until sunset right near the trailhead
Defined, easy-to-navigate trails leading through the Cypress Tree Tunnel and down to the beach
Public restrooms nearby
A shoe brush station at the top of the beach trail to help clean off your feet and make the walk back a breeze
Whether you’re in full fantasy gear or just want a barefoot-in-the-sand moment, this location supports the vision without the stress.
Reclaiming Boudoir for You
Too often, boudoir is boxed in as one very specific aesthetic. But this session was a reminder that you don’t have to soften yourself to be sexy — you can be sharp, loud, armored, or wild and still take up space in front of the lens. Boudoir is about being seen, celebrated, and owning your power — whatever that looks like.
