FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS…

 

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR MY BOUDOIR SESSION?

In your pre-consultation we will go over wardrobe ideas and I will offer suggestions. There are actually more options than you think and it will be fun to bring our your personality through your wardrobe for a customized Boudoir session. I’ve had women wear, cardigans, blazers, leather jackets, wraps, white sheet and of course lingerie if that’s your thing. The point is to feel comfortable and love what you are wearing!

WHAT DO PEOPLE DO WITH THEIR BOUDOIR IMAGES?

Albums! Albums are the most popular choice for boudoir sessions, especially if you are doing this to give as a gift for someone else. But I STRONGLY urge you to get your beautiful images off of the computer. My work will be your art and being able to look at your gorgeous picture every day is a way to remind yourself that you are fabulous!

I'M VERY BODY CONSCIOUS - IS BOUDOIR REALLY FOR ME?

Boudoir is for every woman. You don't need to be out-going, overtly sexy, or a size 2 model to have a successful boudoir session. Most women come in feeling a little nervous, but relax after the first ten minutes of shooting. It happens every time. Once you have your hair and makeup professionally applied and you are in your first outfit you will be ready to go. I will guide you every step of the way and demonstrate all the poses first.

DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

Yes! I know this is an investment and I want to help you get all of the images that you want. You will get a lot out of this experience and I want you to have something to remember it by whether it be an album or a classic 8x10 print to frame. I offer 2-3 in house payments and you can also use PayPal credit which give you 6 months of 0% financing.

Every woman deserves a beautiful portrait of herself wearing something she absolutely feels beautiful in. And ladies don't we all have that Little Black dress that we feel oh so good in?.

I want to photograph you in that LBD looking and feeling like a million bucks. I know you have that one outfit you are dying to wear again but just haven’'t had the reason to.

It could literally be a black cocktail dress you’ve had for years, or leather pants you found in Italy, or a corset your husband bought you on your anniversary trip to Paris. Whatever makes you feel beautiful and sexy. That’s my definition of a LBD.

I want to capture that feeling so that you can have a beautiful portrait to gush over again and again to remind yourself of the amazing woman that you are.
