GENERAL FAQS

I am having boudoir photos taken as a gift. When should I schedule my session?

In order to guarantee you will receive your album in time, your session must be scheduled for 8 weeks

before your occasion date. However 4-6 weeks is the normal turn around from photo session to getting

your album. Photos are normally available to order prints from in 7-14 days.

 

Do you retouch photos?

Basic retouching is included in the cost of the session. Basic retouching includes removal of bruises,

cellulite, scars, acne, under eye circles. Basic retouching DOES NOT include changes to the shape of your

body, straightening or whitening of the teeth, tattoo removal, tan line removal, removal of tags in lingerie.

 

How many outfits should I bring?

We recommend no more than 5 outfits.

 

What types of outfits should I bring?

Above all, you should bring outfits that fit you well and make you feel confident. If there are areas of your

body you would prefer not to highlight in the photos, we recommend selecting outfits that hide or flatter

those areas. Don’t forget a pair of heels!

 

What do you think looks good in photos?

I like lacy boy shorts, corsets, little skirts, men’s button down shirts, fitted jeans, pearls, diamonds, and

little nighties. Be creative!

 

Where should I go shopping?

While many of my clients go to Victoria’s Secret and Frederick’s of Hollywood, I’ve also seen some great

stuff from Macy’s and H&M.”

 

Can I bring a friend?

Sure, if that makes you more comfortable, the more the merrier!

 

Can I bring my husband/fiancé/boyfriend?

This often makes the photographer and model uncomfortable, so leave him home and surprise him with the

photos later!

 

Do you do nudes?

Yes, tasteful nude photographs; more Maxim than Playboy.

 

Do I have to get nude?

Nope, you can be as covered as you like.

 

Do I have to look like a supermodel to have boudoir photos taken?

Absolutely not! Any size and age are welcome.

 

Do you offer hair and makeup services?

Yes, for an additional charge.

 

How many photos do I get?

The photographer selects and retouches images based on your package from what she shoots. We believe

in quality over quantity. Your package will tell you the minimum to expect.

 

What time should I arrive for my session?

Please arrive at your designated session time. We ask that you do not arrive early to protect the privacy of

other women who may have a session before you.

 

Can I see every single photo you take during my session?

Unfortunately not. We narrow down your photos to the very best and then retouch and edit them to

perfection before you see them.

 

Do you have a package that includes a CD of high resolution images?

Because we are professional photographers, we have access to the finest photographic products available,

which are not available to consumers. We would like for you to have a professional end product, so

therefore do not offer a package with just a CD of images. If you can’t live without it, the CD may be

added to any package for an additional $499.

 

Will you post my photos on your blog or website?

Given the sensitive nature of boudoir photography, boudoir photos are never posted without permission

from the client. Names are never used on website, or printed materials.

 

Do you send my photos out to a third party for books and albums?

Yes, we work with professional printers and album companies.

 

Where will my session take place?

We use rented studio space, client homes, hotels and any select location for individual sessions. Marathon

sessions are held in hotel suites. We are available for travel anywhere you’d like to have your session at!

How much is the deposit?

 

The deposit for a session is 50% of your package and is non-refundable. The balance is due the day of your

session.

 

What methods of payment do you accept?

Cash, check, and credit cards (through PayPal).
