 “I want to say how truly blessed I feel for having the opportunity to do the shoot with you today. I have never felt so beautiful in my own skin.” – Amanda B.

CONSULTATION SESSION

We’ll meet at my studio prior to your session to discuss your expectations, give you a tour of the space and answer any questions you may have.  We’ll talk about what clothing you should bring for your shoot and show you our selection of gowns, lingerie, shoes, jewelry and props that you can borrow for your session.

WARDROBE

When you arrive for your session, we’ll look through the clothing and others items you’ve brought as well as any items you’ve chosen from our wardrobe.  Remember, we do not set a limit to the number of outfits you bring.  The more items you bring, the more options you will have.

HAIR & MAKEUP

Your day begins with professional hair styling, makeup artistry and lashes starting at 10:00 a.m.  Hair and makeup will take place as you enjoy a favorite beverage and usually lasts for around 2 hours.

SNACKS & BEVERAGES

During the day, you can enjoy a selection of coffee, tea, juices and bottled water.  We also provide a craft station of light snacks for you to munch on throughout the day.

POSE COACHING

Getting to know what makes you comfortable before I ever take a picture is incredibly important to me.  I will be directing you through all of your poses and talking you through each step of the process during your shoot.

ARTISTIC RETOUCHING

Every image presented to you will be fully retouched to make you look your very best.  We will discuss editing with you before your session so that we stay true to your expectations.

PORTRAIT REVEAL SESSION

Approximately three weeks after your shoot, I’ll invite you back to my studio for your reveal and ordering session.  You’ll be able to choose your favorite images and how you’d like them printed.

FINANCING IS AVAILABLE

For your convenience, we accept cash, check, credit cards and PayPal payments.  Payment plan options are also available and can be discussed during your consultation and reveal sessions.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Q: If I choose to have a boudoir session, do I have to be nude or topless?

A:  Absolutely Not! As a matter of fact, I do not do nude photography.  Your boudoir session is designed around what you are comfortable with.  We will do implied nudes (bits must be covered), underwear, his shirt, tank tops… whatever represents your comfort level.  We have even done Wonder Woman outfits and Star Wars t-shirts for boudoir images!

Q:  Are my pictures going to be published on Facebook or on other social media?

A:  We only post images that we have been granted written authority to use.  If you choose to keep your images completely private, we will absolutely honor your request.

Q:  What if I can’t pose? I have never modeled and don’t want to look silly, can you help me?

A:  As a professional, it’s my job to pose you to look your best and I will talk you through each pose.  There is no need to worry! Most of the women I’ve photographed have never modeled and in fact are usually the ones in their family taking the pictures at all their events. How often have you heard someone ask “How come we don’t have pictures of Mom?” Mom is usually the one behind the camera!

Q:  Do you do other photography besides boudoir?

A:  Yes! I specialize in Women’s Portraiture, but that does not just mean boudoir photography.  I also do editorial style Fashion and Fitness photography, Pinup, Bridal-Groom’s Gift, Maternity, and Headshots for business or social media.  If you have a style of photo you want done and are not sure, give me a call or drop me an email and we can talk about it!  If you’re interested in Wedding Photography, I can recommend an excellent professional to make your day special.

Q:  Am I obligated to buy images if I come in for a session; and do I have to pay for my session and my images all at the same time?

A:  You are not obligated to buy any images after your photo session.  There is no minimum required and you only purchase the images you love.  We charge separately for your session and your image purchase allowing you to choose the images or collections that best suit you.  Your session fee must be paid to book your date and you select your favorite images at your reveal session about 3 weeks later. You would pay for your selected images the day of your reveal.  We also offer a convenient, interest free, 6 month payment plan for image collection purchases.

Remember that if you have ANY questions or concerns during any stage of this experience, please don’t hesitate to contact us by phone or email.  We look forward to seeing you!
