Marathon or Full Boudoir? A Guide to Choosing Your Perfect Session
Which Is Right for You?
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a boudoir marathon session (also lovingly known as a “quickie”) and a full boudoir experience—and which one might be the perfect fit for you?
The truth is, both options are beautiful, empowering, and designed to celebrate the radiant human that you are. But depending on where you're at in your self-love journey, one might align better with your current vibe, comfort level, or budget.
Let’s break it down:
Marathon Boudoir Sessions:
A Bold Short Experience
Marathon sessions are fast-paced, themed experiences that give you a fiery little taste of boudoir magic. Whether it’s a wet set, bondage, bridal, or another creative vibe, each shoot is curated and spicy in all the best ways.
What to Expect:
One outfit & theme-based set
30–45 minutes of guided shoot time
A limited number of retouched digital images included
Complimentary Professional makeup (you’ll style your own hair)
Perfect If You’re:
Curious about boudoir but not quite ready to dive all the way in
Looking for a more budget-conscious option
Wanting to create something bold and exciting—fast
Interested in a fun, seasonal, or themed boudoir experience
💡 Heads-up: Marathon sessions are typically offered just 2–3 times a year and have very limited spots—so you’ve gotta be quick to claim your spot!
Full Boudoir Sessions:
The Ultimate Empowerment Day
This is the full Ella Studios boudoir experience. A luxurious, empowering day crafted entirely around you. From the moment you arrive, you’re pampered, uplifted, and guided through a transformational journey of self-love and confidence.
What to Expect:
90 minutes of guided shoot time
4 outfit changes across multiple sets
Unlimited access to our inclusive client closet (5X–XS)
On-site complimentary hair and makeup
Virtual or in-person session design appointment with a personalized fitting
Access to premium props like angel wings, wet sets, luxury robe, bondage themes & more
Private image reveal party with your images displayed on a 65” screen, set to your fave playlist
60–80+ stunning images to choose from (sometimes even more!)
Perfect If You’re:
Ready for a full day of pampering, transformation, and celebration
Marking a milestone (birthday, breakup, promotion, or just because!)
Wanting a luxury keepsake or heirloom-quality artwork
Craving a confidence boost—or building confidence for the first time ever
Needing a reminder of just how powerful, radiant, and worthy you are
So… Which One Is Right for You?
There’s no wrong choice—only the one that fits your current season.
✨ If you're dipping your toes into the world of boudoir or drawn to a spicy, themed shoot, a Marathon Session could be the perfect first step.
