WHAT DO I WEAR?
Endless possibilities here! The key is to be comfortable, but at the same time, maybe reach out of your comfort zone just a little. I am always a huge advocate of a simple lace bodysuit, black is always flattering. You don’t have to limit yourself to lingerie either! You can use a dress, robe, old sweater, or anything that makes you feel sexy. Bring as many options as you like, we will go through them and pick what will make you feel the most scrumptious! You can also send me photos of what you have and I can help guide you through it!
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
I would lean more towards – no. This is for a couple of reasons, firstly it can be harder to relax with an audience. It is already a situation where you may be feeling a bit nervous and having too many people watching or commenting can throw you off.
If you have booked a couples session, then of course both of you will attend.
WHERE WILL THE SHOOT TAKE PLACE?
The studio is located in my home in Orleans. It’s a tastefully decorated space designed to make you feel warm and comfortable.
WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HANDS?
Never worry about what to do with your hands, face, and body! That is why I am here. I will guide you into every pose and never leave you wondering what to do. This type of photography is posed from head to toe. You will be bending, moving, and stretching in all sorts of ways. You will feel it the next day for sure!
I’M ANXIOUS….HELP!!!!
It is totally normal to feel all sorts of things leading up to your session. The key is to remember why you are doing it. It is exciting, feel all the things! I am happy to walk you through whatever nerves are coming up, I am here for you! During your session, we are chatting, have fun and break down all those nerves. You will leave feeling exhilarated, and maybe a bit tired as well.
HOW LONG IS A SESSION?
If you are starting with hair and makeup, that is usually 1.5-2 hours followed by a 1.5-2 hour shoot. If you are planning your day, you should block off about 4.5 hours just to be safe.
WHO IS EDITING MY PHOTOS?
The short answer is ME! I know these images are highly personal. My computer is locked down, no one else uses it and I use the utmost discretion when I am editing. When it comes to editing, what you see on my website is what will be delivered to you. I am a firm believer in accepting and loving the person you are so I do not do heavy retouching to change your body shape or size. What I do edit out would be any blemishes, bruises, acne, or anything that is not a permanent resident of your body. If there is something like a scar that you would really like removed, please bring it up at your session.
DO YOU ACCEPT PAYMENT PLANS?
Absolutely, I know booking a session is a luxury and maybe something you were not planning for. We can work together to form a game plan for setting up a payment plan. All packages must be paid prior to any product being ordered and photos delivered.
WILL YOU USE MY IMAGES FOR ADVERTISING?
Only with your consent. Boudoir photos are very personal and you may not want a large viewing audience, or maybe it does not bother you at all. It is your choice. I am more than thrilled when clients allow me to use their images as it keeps my website and social media up to date. When a lot of clients see their images and feel the confidence radiating, they are more than happy to share. We can also work together to pick some images that you are comfortable with, maybe your face is not showing, or it’s an up-close detail shot. I appreciated it all!
HOW DO I BOOK?
You have made it to here, you are almost there! All you need to do is reach out to me and we can arrange a time for a chat, email, text, or whatever is easiest for you. I will answer any burning questions you have and ease any nerves. Once you decide you would like to go ahead, a 50% retainer of the session fee is due to lock in your date. Please note that this is a non-refundable retainer. No digitals are included in the session fee. Kindly refer to the pricing guide for package options.
WHAT’S YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
I understand that things come up or maybe an illness can creep in. That being said, I do allow ONE reschedule per booked session. As the retainer is non-refundable, it will be applied to your rebooked session. If you need to reschedule again, there will be further fees involved, they are outlined in your contract.
CAN I WAIT UNTIL I SEE MY PHOTOS BEFORE DECIDING ON A PACKAGE?
You must pre-pay for a package before your reveal session and before any photos are delivered. You are welcome to pay for a package you are conformable with and then you can add on any extras or upgrade your package at your viewing session.
