FAQ

I want to book a boudoir session. What is the first step?

So excited to photograph you! To book your boudoir session, you will have to pay the session fee of $400.00 plus tax to secure your date and time. Once your session is booked, we will start with a phone consultation where we discuss why you want to book a boudoir session and how you want to be photographed. I offer wardrobe suggestions and hair and makeup looks. This is a perfect time for us to get to know each other and for you to ask me questions about the process of a boudoir session.

What do I wear? Do I bring my own clothes?

At the consultation, I will create a vision board on Pinterest. This is my favorite part of the process—it gets me so excited! I love to style and photograph my clients. We will talk about wardrobe ideas as well as hair and makeup looks, and we'll put together 3-5 outfit ideas for the boudoir session. I even recommend you trying on the outfits before the session to make sure that our looks are polished and well put together.

Is hair and makeup included?

Professional hair styling and makeup is included in your boudoir session fee.

Where does the boudoir session take place?

I have a home studio, where most of my boudoir sessions take place, and occasionally some boudoir sessions are on location. Hair and makeup is also done on location in the studio.

I am not photogenic, and I feel nervous about the boudoir shoot.

I get it. Being intimate and opening yourself up in front of a camera can give you a lot of butterflies! I have spent years learning posing and lighting techniques, and I will guide you through a series of poses that will make you feel comfortable, beautiful and, most importantly, allow you to have FUN! You don't need to worry about anything! It's my goal as an artist to photograph you and create beautiful authentic images that capture your true beauty.

How long will a boudoir shoot take?

My boudoir sessions can take 1.5 hours with 3-5 outfit changes. We start hair and makeup at 9:30 a.m. and I start photographing my clients at 11:00 a.m. and finish at 12:30 p.m. You take an hour lunch break, and from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. we will have an image reveal, and you'll be able to order your products right then and there!

Can I just get the digital files?

Digital files are available as an add-on to any album or folio box a la carte for $2500 or you can purchase the digital files with no collections for $4500.

When is the payment due?

The $400.00 session fee is due at the time of booking. This fee will secure your boudoir session, which includes professional hair and makeup and 1.5 hours of shooting time. You will have a same-day image reveal and ordering session. Be prepared to fall in love with all of your images and my signature products! I accept email transfers or credit cards. I also offer pre-payment plans with no interest. Pre-payment plans have to be paid in full before your boudoir shoot.

Will my images be shared on the internet or social media?

Your privacy is incredibly important to me! Your images will not be shared with anyone. I will get a model release from you to share your image on my website or social media.

Do you photoshop my images?

I give you a natural polished look. You will always look like you because being authentic is important to me. I never change your size or shape. I will remove blemishes, bruises and scratches. I do not do any body modifications, but I do use Photoshop as a tool to give you a smooth, polished look.
