Your Boudoir Photography FAQ’s Answered…

 

  • If we had a dollar for every time we heard this one! The women you see in our images are real women, just like you and me. Boudoir photos do not require a certain shape, size or age. Plus, we coach you through the entire process, so there is absolutely no modeling experience necessary! To toot our own horn a little bit, we are really good at what we do, and we guarantee that you will look amazing! Toot Toot!

  • We completely understand the nerves that can go along with having a boudoir session. We get that it’s not every day that you call up a complete stranger to take pictures of you wearing lingerie!

    If you feel like you have no idea what to do or expect, that is completely normal! We do everything we can to make you feel relaxed and comfortable during your session. We walk you through the entire process and offer all the direction you need. Our clients often walk in feeling nervous, but always leave smiling and commenting on how much fun they had!

  • Yes ma’am! We are experts at boudoir poses and will direct you through the entire session. We get into the pose ourselves to show you how it looks, and then assist you with the pose from your head to your toes.

    We know how to capture your most natural poses, movements and expressions. We are not only professional boudoir photographers, but also women who have had our own sessions and know what it’s like to be on your side of the lens. So trust us, we’ve got you!

  • We understand the delicate and intimate nature of your images and we respect every client's privacy. Every client has the choice to either decline the Model Release, keeping her images off the internet and inside the studio, or release her images to be published publicly.

    If you choose to release your images, they may be posted to Facebook, on our website, in our blog posts, and on our marketing materials. However, if you choose to sign the release, rest assured that we NEVER use your name on any posts and we do not tag you on Facebook. Your gallery and images stay anonymous on our end. You are more than welcome to tag yourself in any image posted and share from our website and Facebook page as long as the watermark stays present.

  • YES!! Professional Hair and Makeup Service (including faux lashes) is complimentary with your Dream Session.

    You will spend approximately 1-1.5 hours in hair and makeup being pampered by one of our amazing artists before we start your session.

  • Clients must bring their own wardrobe to their boudoir session. However, when you arrive, we will go through your wardrobe options with you to help you choose the perfect pieces. We do suggest bringing a few extra options just in case.

    We do have a large variety of heels in sizes 6-10, so if you don't have heels, don't feel like you have to run out and buy a pair.

    Please try on all of your wardrobe pieces before your session to ensure everything fits properly and you are comfortable in it.

  • We do not. Our studios are not set up for the traditional cheesecake style of pin-up photography with solid backdrops or props. Our studios have real home-like environments; therefore, we keep our style true to modern boudoir. However, we are happy to photograph you wearing vintage lingerie!

  • We do not work off of a shot list, but if you have a few ideas, we will look at them and try to incorporate them if we can. Rest assured that we have been doing this for a long time and know what poses will look great!

    If you have one small prop such as a coffee mug or a book, feel free to bring it and we can incorporate it in. We do not shoot multiple props or costume-like outfits in the studio. No guns are allowed. If you have very specific ideas or multiple props to use for your session, it is considered a custom session and will have special pricing. Please call for more details.

  • We do photograph artistic nudes! All of our nudes are done in a very tasteful and artistic style.

    You do not have to be nude for your session at all! Everything is done to your comfort level and you can be as revealing or covered up as you wish!

  • Full retouching includes the removal of blemishes, scrapes, bruises and anything temporary on the skin. Upon request, we will remove scars and stretch marks and smooth out cellulite. We will also do minor body modifications, which we like to call "digital Spanx," where we smooth any bumps and bulges caused by the pose or wardrobe.

    **All Galleries have a variety of creative editing of full color and also black and white images. Creative edits are at the discretion of the photographer.

  • Short answer: NO. Honestly, we would much rather have you come in pale or with a very light tan. Self-tanning products, whether it's lotion or a spray tan, can leave you blotchy. Also, your skin may photograph with an orange tint, even if it doesn’t look orange to the naked eye. A tanning bed or natural suntan can create tan lines or white spots on your skin that may be visible in your photos.

    If you insist on having a little color for your session, we recommend lightly spray tanning 4-5 days before your session so it has time to fade a little. Please watch the areas around your ankles, knees and wrists. If you frequent a tanning bed, watch the area under your bottom and arms, where we usually see white areas. If you do come in with blotchy areas, a deep sunburn, or heavy tan lines, we are not responsible for evening the skin and removing any problem areas.

  • Short answer is no. We want to have 100% of your attention during the photo session. If you feel you must bring someone with you, they are required to wait in the car while you are in the studio with us.
