Boudoir Photography- Frequently Asked Questions

The thought of a boudoir session can be very scary. When talking to women about their session, I get asked all kinds of questions. So I wanted to list my 12 most frequently asked questions.

Do you share my images?

Our number one priority is making sure our clients are comfortable, especially with boudoir! It can be a life changing experience, but that also makes in a bit nerve wracking! Sometimes, you are learning how to love your body and you aren’t quite ready to share the images with the world, or sometimes these photos are specifically for your partner’s eyes only. These are great reasons for not sharing your photos, and it all depends on your personal preferences! If there are photos that I would love to share, you will always be consulted prior to doing so. It is completely at your discretion because this is your body.

Do I have to wear lingerie?

You absolutely dont have to specifically wear lingerie, it depends on your personality! There are so many outfit ideas other than lacy little things!!

Do you have Payment Plans?

We offer a few payment options! There is a session fee that is due in order to book your session and get your date on the calendar. That cost covers the creation of your images, as well as, the Pre-Session consultation, hair and makeup, the guided private session, the professional retouching and the private Reveal/Ordering appointment!

When it comes to paying for your products, you’ll have a couple different options. You can always pay in full the day prior to your session.

OR

If you’d like more times to pay off your session, you can book further out and take advantage of my Pre-session payment plan. You will also receive incentives for your session (Angel Wings, Neon Set, extra Outfit, Wet set) when completing your payment plan 2 weeks prior to the session! It’s a great way to spread out your payments! This is the most popular choice, because ladies can choose to book further out and budget based off from what works best for them!

Is hair and makeup included?

Hair and makeup is included in all of our boudoir sessions. I think it’s really important for you to feel pampered, and having you hair and makeup done is a great way to do that! Our amazing team can help you complete your look, whether that’s “I just woke up like this” or " Full on GLAM! You can bring any ideas you want for your makeup and we can use it for inspiration!!

Do you Photoshop my images?

I do edit your images for light, exposure and color balance. I do NOT, however, edit anything “out” that is permanent. I think it can be damaging to have a boudoir session done, and then edit parts of yourself that make you who you are. Part of the process of accepting yourself and seeing beauty also means not photoshopping out parts of yourself you don’t like. If there are parts of yourself that you are learning to love and aren’t thrilled about, that is okay! We are skilled in posing and lighting to make you look your absolute best and bring out your shine!

Where should I buy outfits?

There are a so many places to buy outfits from and it depends on what you are getting and the style of your shoot! Here is a long list to choose from with different styles and sizing! Victoria’s Secret, Adore Me, Torrid, Hips and Curves, Fashion Nova, Savage X Fenty and Agent Provocateur. If you are looking for something specific that you can’t find, let me know and I might know where to get it!

What type of print products do you have?

We offer a variety of stunning bedside albums and luxury metal wall art. The albums start at 8x8 and go up in size and amount of images. The metal wall art can be small enough to be discreet or large enough to create a dramatic statement piece for your home! I absolutely love the feel of picking up a physical print, it so surreal to see yourself like that! I have my own album and flip through it often to remind myself of my own feminine strength. I think I look at them more than he does! It’s a daily reminder of your self empowerment journey!

Do you offer digitals?

All of our album collections include corresponding digitals, but there is also an A LA Carte list that you can choose from as well! On this list we have options for digitals images! Digitals images come in a locked online gallery or a USB!

I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?

Nerves are all part of the experience! I always say that it would probably be weird if you're WEREN’T nervous. The nervousness in the beginning of your shoot make your moment of “WOW” seeing your photos for the first so much better!

How many outfits should I bring?

I always say bring 3 outfits to choose from! You will have the option to choose an extra outfit as an incentive on the Pre-Payment Plan! I always say, bring more if you are torn and I will help you decide! Also, don’t forget that I have a client closet that you can dive into! I have sizes from XS to 6X. If you choose to dive into the closet, don’t forget to snag a nude thong to wear underneath!

Should I get to my shoot early?

You should always plan on getting to your shoot early so we can talk about your outfits, colors and make a plan for hair and makeup!

Where is your studio located?

We are located in Milton, WV. We love this building with its large windows, tall ceilings and exposed brick!
