I've never had a boudoir session before. I am NERVOUS.
The majority of my clients that walk through our doors have never done something like this before. It is our job and mission to make you comfortable through the entire experience. When booking a session with us expect to have an amazing time, and ready to book another by the time you leave. It’s normal to be nervous! We have a group of highly skilled individuals that know how to make you look your absolute best. & of course I am here to answer any questions you may have before your shoot to better prepare you!
-
How far in advanced should I schedule my shoot?
It’s best to schedule 1-3 months in advanced. I book up quick. Typical turn around time for images and any additional products ordered take around 3-4 weeks once your session is complete. So if you are planning these for a special occasion its always best to book at minimum 2 months before your desired date!
-
How long is the photo shoot.
Packages vary, and usually I tell everyone who are having hair and makeup done to expect to be in the studio around 2 hours total. We do not rush things in here, and do everything to assure you will be happy with the end result. This allows time for outfit changes, and time to pick things out to wear.
-
What should I bring with me?
If you are scheduled with a collection that includes the client closet, you don’t need to bring anything at all unless you’d like! Some packages require you to bring your own outfits. However if not , we supply it all! I will help with picking out outfits from our client closet of over 350 items. If you have extra accessories by all means bring them! We love added props and fun ideas! Bring an item of your significant others to add the shoot as well! ie. Hat, Jersey, Flannel etc! Whatever you want to bring, BRING IT!
-
What happens after my session?
We certainly hope you will spend the following days telling everyone what a great experience you had! However within 72 hours, sneaks will be sent to you via however we’ve been in contact. Approx 3 weeks after your session you will receive your digital gallery. If you want to order extra products after you are welcome to and I will walk you through it all!
-
Will my photos be shared on social media?
I ONLY share images with consent. Every client must sign a model release form releasing images to be shared on any platform. Boudoir sessions are private, and intimate, and some prefer not to have their images shared. & that is perfectly fine! We respect everyones privacy here!
-
Do I have to wear lingerie?
Most women prefer to wear lingerie for their session, however it is not required. We recommend you wear something that you are comfortable with that suits your personality. You can view my boudoir group on Facebook to get inspiration on things to wear & also reach out to me if you need ideas that are more coverage but still will make you feel beautiful!

Do you offer payment plans?
I most certainly do! I offer Afterpay on all of my packages. Afterpay is interest free and broken down into 4 bi weekly payments. However, if you choose to do a higher package and wish to make payments through me I do offer that as well!
-
Is there a deposit to book a session?
Yes, I do have a retainer fee for every booking. Retainer fees are non refundable and only transferrable to one reschedule within 60 days. Retainer fee is taken off the balance of the session.
