The Purpose
A boudoir session is designed to be an intimate and elegant portrait session. Whether you are reclaiming your sensual confidence, want to show of your beauty or even just want to create a beautiful image for your spouse or significant other, boudoir photography can be the outlet you are looking for. Couple Boudoir is also fun for the same reasons and may even make one feel more comfortable as two.
The Session
A boudoir session is not at all about the nudity and should not be viewed as a "nude shoot" as that is not its purpose. Although it is completely up to you and your vision for the session, clothing and attire is up to you. I am more than happy to assist with any questions you may have prior to. I also have a stylist that can assist you, if needed. I also ensure there will be a female assistant in attendance at each session and you are welcome to bring one person with you. I want my clients to feel both safe and comfortable while having fun and enjoying themselves at each session!
The Goal
The goal of these sessions, for me, is to help boost self-confidence as well as self-love! Whether you have been in front of a camera before or not, I will give you direction and flattering posing to make sure you look your best!
Other Common Boudoir Questions
Is hair and makeup included?
While I will be offering this as an option, currently I am still looking for the perfect fit for my clients. If you know of someone that may be a good fit and interested, please feel free to have them reach out or provide me their info.
What are the age requirement to do a Boudoir shoot?
You must be at least 21 years old to do a boudoir session with me.
What type of shoots do you offer?
I offer two options and two different styles. The two style options are traditional boudoir and themed boudoir. The themed options are cosplay or burlesque. There is also a natural light versus flash photography. For flash photography, I will use a strobe and soft-box.
How long does a shoot last?
My goal is for you to not only have a great time, but to make sure that we take our time to create images you will love. That being said, between shoot time and your wardrobe changes, time will vary between 1 to 3 hours.
Will my photos be shared on the internet?
Because your privacy is of the utmost importance to me, I leave this decision in your hands. I have created a contract that will ensure we are both very clear on this topic as I know there are many that are weary of this. Each of the clients on my site/social media have agreed to having their images used as advertisement for my business. However, I'd just like to leave you with the thought of the purpose of these sessions being to empower women like yourself. That being said, your session may be enough to empower another woman to be confident enough to book hers. I completely understand either way and your choice will very much be honored.
Do I bring my own lingerie?
Yes, you are expected to bring your own lingerie and during our consultation, I will help with suggestions if needed.
Do I have to wear lingerie?
No, you are by no means required to wear lingerie. This session is based on you and your personal preference. I can help with alternative options during your consultation.
Do you have payment plans?
For your convenience, I do offer payment plans for print and album purchases, however, Your full product collection will be available for delivery when payment has been received in full.
I am not sure how to pose, will you help?
My goal is to provide you with images that highlight you in the best way! I'm more than happy to help with posing by providing you with easy to follow instructions for both posing and facial expressions. I will not give you vague directions like "look sexy". I will mirror the pose for you, try not to laugh to hard, but I am right there with you posing
Do you Photoshop my images?
The images you view during proofing will be in a raw (unedited) format. Once your images have been selected, I will retouch each image and prepare them for print and delivery.
Do you offer digital files?
As I mentioned before, I'd like you to see yourself in the best way in my delivery to you. That being said, your delivery will be in the form of high quality and high resolutions prints. Those prints can be framed or placed in an album for lifetime of viewing and memories. If you'd like to purchase digital copies, they are also available for purchase after your images have been delivered.
What type of printed products do you have?
To ensure my clients have the best, I have contracted with a high end print studio and am able to offer beautiful high quality photo albums that will be imported from Italy. I also offer wall art, print folios and calendars
I am nervous about my session! How can I calm my nerves?
Although I am a photography, I can and do completely understand possible insecurities. However, also as a photographer, it is my job to make you as comfortable as possible during your session and surely after. As for pre - session, I suggest some prep on your side. Try taking some deep breathes and relax. Don't depend on the mirror to be your guide, instead, allow me to do what you hired me to do. Once we begin talking and laughing, I assure you, your nerves will settle and you will begin to relax. Included in your session is music and fresh cut fruit! Who couldn't relax with all of that? I ensure not only will you have a good time...your images will reflect you living your best day! If you are ready, please hit the contact button to schedule your session.
Where is your studio located?
I currently am on location only, which would mean, you are welcome to either provide a space or I can make accommodations at a space that is fitting to your session. This will allow for each session to be a unique experience with its own unique setting. If the request is made that I provide the accommodations, the client will be responsible for all associated fees and will be billed accordingly.
