Quote (Wikipedia)
A great deal of "boudoir" is now created in the photographer's studio, where it has become very fashionable to create a set of sensual images for ladies of all ages, shapes, and sizes in the "boudoir style". This often takes the shape of partly clothed images or images in lingerie, and has become more than just a passing fad for brides to surprise their future husbands. Although in the past there were many negative connotations associated with boudoir photography, in recent years the trend has begun to gain momentum, and the entire look of boudoir photography has begun to change.

I've done this with my best friend's now wife.

The important part with this type of photography is lightning. The reason that this stuff is done in a studio is because you need to control how much light gets to a certain spot.
You are not shooting porn - so a well lit picture of a naked chick doesn't reallllly count. The point is to create 'mystery' while still making them look good.

The point of this is to basically be a tease picture.

As far as charging - depending on your current portfolio and relation to this person - any where from $200-$300 is very reasonable.
