Frequently Asked Questions

We’ll start with a pre-session consultation to discuss your vision, expectations, and goals for your boudoir session. This may include discussing wardrobe guidance, hair and makeup styling, and any specific themes, props, or poses that you desire.

On the day of you’ll start with professional hair and makeup to ensure you look and feels your best for your shoot. Next, you’ll head to the studio that’s a comfortable and private space for you to feel at ease during your session. There you’ll receive professional guidance and coaching on how to pose and position your body in a way that is both flattering and highlights your best features!

After your session, you will head over to our professional massage therapist during your massage, you can expect to receive a rejuvenating and relaxing experience that focuses on releasing tension and promoting overall well-being. As you settle onto a comfortable massage table, our skilled massage therapist will begin by applying gentle pressure to warm up your muscles and prepare your body for deeper work. She may use a variety of techniques such as kneading, rolling, and stretching to target specific areas of tension or pain. Our therapist’s expert hands will work in rhythm, employing soothing strokes and varying pressures to ease muscle knots, improve blood circulation, and reduce stress. You will feel your body gradually unwinding as the therapist skillfully manipulates your muscles, promoting a sense of deep relaxation. The tranquil environment, often accompanied by soft music and calming scents, will further enhance your experience, allowing you to fully surrender to the healing touch. By the end of the massage, you can expect to feel both physically and mentally renewed, with a restored sense of balance and harmony within your body.

Rest assured, I work only with the highest-quality lighting and photography equipment to ensure the best possible quality for stunning professional images every time. You’ll then receive a proofing gallery to choose your favorite images, which I then do full image retouching and editing on before sending them back to you via your own private, password-protected online gallery for you to download from.

While I do not offer body modification, you can absolutely feel at ease and confident that I will edit to your comfort level of skin smoothing & blemish removal. Should you want anything outside of that done, please let me know and we can discuss what it is that you’re wanting!

I want to emphasize that boudoir sessions are about celebrating and embracing your uniqueness, beauty, and self-confidence; all while showing you how to love your body as she is.πŸ₯°

Boudoir photography aims to capture the essence of who you are, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to boost your self-esteem and see yourself in a new light. Remember that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to boudoir sessions.

I will work with you to create stunning images that highlight your best features and showcase your individuality. Guiding you through poses, lighting, and wardrobe choices that will leave you feeling empowered and proud of your body!

So, don’t let your worries or insecurities hold you back from experiencing a boudoir session. Instead, use this opportunity to celebrate your body and embrace your unique beauty. After all, confidence and self-love are the most attractive qualities anyone can possess!

You’re gorgeous babes, don’t ever forget it πŸ€— 😘

#ALLbodiesareBOUDOIRBODIES

It’s important to choose pieces that make you feel confident and sexy while also showcasing your unique personality and style. Here are some suggestions on what to wear to your upcoming boudoir session:

1. Lingerie: Choose a variety of lingerie pieces, such as a sexy bra and panty set, a lace teddy, or a silk chemise. Ensure that they fit well and make you feel confident.

2. Robes and Kimonos: A delicate, sheer robe or kimono can add an elegant touch to your boudoir session, providing coverage while still revealing your lingerie underneath.

3. Bodysuits: A form-fitting bodysuit can be a great option for a boudoir session, as it accentuates your curves and can be easily paired with stockings or thigh-high socks.

4. Stockings and Garter Belts: Stockings paired with a garter belt can give your boudoir outfit a classic, vintage-inspired look.

5. Thigh-High Socks: Thigh-high socks can add a playful, casual touch to your boudoir session, especially when paired with a loose-fitting shirt or sweater. (Maybe even your partner’s shirt or favorite teams jersey πŸ˜‰ )

6. High Heels: A pair of high heels can elongate your legs and make you feel more confident during your boudoir session.

7. Jewelry: Accessorize with some statement jewelry pieces, such as a long necklace, bold earrings, or a cuff bracelet, to add delicate detail and personal touch to your photos!

Pre-payment plans for boudoir sessions offer clients the opportunity to spread out the costs of their session over time, making them more affordable and accessible!

With a pre-payment plan, you can reserve your session and make payments in installments before the actual session takes place. This allows you to budget and save up for your boudoir experience without feeling overwhelmed by the cost, and ensure that you get exactly what you’re wanting out of your boudoir experience!

Here are some examples of pre-payment plans you can consider:

1. In-house Pre-Payment Plan:

With this plan, clients can split the total session cost into a payment schedule that works for them. The first payment is due at the time of booking, while the remaining payments will be due weekly, biweekly, or even monthly leading up to your session date!

2. Afterpay or Paypal Credit:

I do also accept both Afterpay & Paypal Credit as well! These are third-party pay-over-time lenders that are dependent on credit approval that you’ll need to apply for on their websites before using them at checkout when your invoice is sent over!

It is recommended to book your boudoir session at least 2-3 months in advance. This allows enough time for you to prepare for the session, communicate your vision with the photographer, and consider any wardrobe or styling options. Additionally, booking further out provides an opportunity to opt for affordable pre-payment plans should you need one, making it easier to manage the financial aspect of the session. Remember, a boudoir session is a personal and empowering experience, so giving yourself ample time to plan and prepare will ensure a more enjoyable and memorable experience.
