Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal to be nervous?
It is definitely normal to be nervous about your boudoir session, so don't worry. Most of our clients are nervous after they book their date but begin to feel more comfortable, even excited after wardrobe planning! You will feel the nerves melting away after your first outfit change. You won’t feel rushed because we go at your pace!
Should I wait until I can loose a few pounds to book?
Absolutely not. Those few extra pounds will remain our little secret with the right lighting, posing, and retouching techniques.
I’m here to make you look and feel your absolute best. With over 20 years of experience in photography and retouching, I’ve fine-tuned my skills and developed an array of techniques to ensure that you shine from the moment you step in front of the camera to the final image. Posing, angles, the perfect lighting, and expert retouching are my secret arsenal for revealing your true beauty.
While I deeply appreciate the art of retouching, my goal is to keep it subtle and unnoticeable. I firmly believe in celebrating the natural beauty of women. Your dress size holds no relevance when it comes to your allure and sensuality. My approach to retouching is all about enhancement, not complete transformation. Drawing from years of experience in fashion and editorial photography, I can assure you that every image, whether in magazines or on newsstands, undergoes some level of retouching. When used responsibly, retouching can indeed work wonders. I’m careful not to overdo it.
In a world where we often compare ourselves to seemingly unattainable images, I’m here to prove that you can look and feel just as glamorous. I’m dedicated to leveling the playing field by demonstrating that, with the right photographer, lighting, equipment, and tools, you can radiate your own unique allure.
During a boudoir session with me, you’ll undoubtedly unleash your fabulously sexy self. While I’ll ensure you look your absolute best in these photographs, I won’t transform you into someone you’re not. My photography is all about accentuating and enhancing the radiant beauty that already resides within you, not creating something artificial. We’re here to be your empowerment cheerleaders and turbocharge your self-confidence.
Do you work with plus sized women?
We warmly embrace and celebrate all body sizes in our boudoir photography sessions. Our primary aim is to empower and elevate every individual who graces our camera lens, enabling their distinct beauty to radiate. Your self-assuredness and ease are of utmost importance to us, and we are committed to curating a genuinely empowering and inclusive experience for all.
My mission is to demonstrate that anyone can exude the confidence and allure worthy of a magazine cover. With the assistance of the right photographer, expert styling, hair and makeup, skillful posing, precise lighting, and adept retouching, I assure you that any doubts about your potential to look the part will be completely erased!
WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW HOW TO POSE OR LOOK SEXY?
Don’t worry about posing. We've totally got you covered in that department. We know all the ways to create the most gorgeous images for you, no matter what shape or size you are.
Can you make me look like a “model”?
Most of the women I work with aren’t professional models. This includes the photos on the website. These women are real people — mothers, daughters, wives, fiancées, girlfriends, etc. — with dreams and insecurities, just like you and me, and every one of them is beautiful and unique. Boudoir photography is designed to bring out the best side of you, so that you look fabulous in your photographs.
Do you provide the outfits?
No.
We’re here not just to guide and coach you but to help you discover those pieces that you absolutely adore and that make you feel irresistibly sexy, ones you’ll want to wear again and again.
This experience is about more than just donning alluring garments; it’s about the exhilarating process of selecting pieces that inspire you and unleash a newfound sense of empowerment.
After the photoshoot, you’ll realize that every piece you wore here has been infused with the energy of your confidence and sensuality, serving as a constant reminder of your allure.
The journey of finding your own pieces is a part of self-discovery.
When you secure your session, we’ll arrange a design consultation and provide you with a carefully curated list of stores that I personally adore.
Inside our treasure trove of props, you’ll discover a delightful array, from whimsical whips and playful paddles to ethereal wings and elegant pearls. We maintain a hidden collection of unique items that can add that extra touch of flair to your photos.
Once you’re here, the three of us will become your personal stylists, assisting you in creating the perfect look that resonates with your unique style and makes you feel truly fabulous.
What type of outfits do you recommend?
Your confidence is our priority, and we know that every woman has her unique style. One person’s go-to sexy ensemble might be a sultry panty and bra set, while another might prefer the allure of a slinky off-the-shoulder sweater. If you find yourself pondering outfit choices or feeling unsure, don’t worry, just ask during our consultation. We get it – sometimes starting the outfit selection process can feel like stepping into the unknown. But fear not! We’re here to not only hold your hand but also lead you through a journey of ideas that are as authentic as you are. Plus, we’ve got inspiration galore to help you curate the perfect outfits for your photoshoot.
Do you offer hair and makeup?
Absolutely! Having your hair and makeup done is an integral part of your experience. In house hair and makeup for every boudoir experience. Sit back, relax with a glass of wine, and chat with us a bit before your shoot.
Can I bring a friend?
While we typically don’t recommend partners due to the intimate nature of the experience, we absolutely welcome it when clients choose to bring their friends. We approach each situation on a case-by-case basis and remain open to your preferences. Our top priority is ensuring that your experience is the best it can possibly be. Your comfort and satisfaction are what matter most to us.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we provide a variety of plans to maximize accessibility for all.
DO YOU KEEP my images PRIVATE?
We will only share your boudoir photos if you have given us permission and have approved the images for sharing. We respect your privacy and won't post or share any images if you’d prefer they stay private. We do NOT outsource our retouching.
How far in advance do I need to book a boudoir appointment?
The sooner the better. Usually, a minimum of 2-4 weeks before your chosen date is optimal, and weekends fill up faster than weekdays. Keep this in mind if you are giving this as a gift. It can take up to six weeks to get your album or image box.
