Frequently asked questions about boudoir photography.
I'm really nervous. Is that normal?
It is definitely normal to be nervous for your boudoir session, so don't worry. Most of my clients are nervous until the session has gone on for a few minutes. After it starts, you’ll begin to loosen up. If you’re still nervous, try out these relaxation tips we’ve provided in another blog post: Click here.
How do I know how to pose?
Don’t worry about posing. I've got you covered in that department. I know all the tricks to create the most flattering angles for you, no matter what shape or size you are.
Do your packages include hair and makeup?
My packages do not include hair and makeup, but I do know people. Some amazing people who we can get in touch with. If this is something you are wanting for your session, let me know ahead of time.
Am I allowed to bring alcohol to help loosen my nerves?
Alcohol is not recommended for photography shoots as it can created a flushed look that is not flattering in your photos.
Do you provide the wardrobe?
I do not provide your wardrobe. This is something you’ll want to pick out ahead of time and bring along. If you need help choosing an outfit, I can definitely give you some suggestions, though.
I want share these pictures with my partner, but I don't want loose prints floating around. Any ideas for the best gift?
This is a very common concern and I totally understand. I recommend placing an order for the little black book. This is much more discreet and will keep all of your images in one place and not floating around. I also offer folios and accordion albums as well. For more information on these products, just ask.
What should I bring to my boudoir session?
For sessions, I suggest two to three different outfits and any props you may want to incorporate. Need help choosing props? Check out this blog article we’ve written on incorporating your partner’s interests by clicking here.
Can I bring a friend?
Yes, you can bring a friend if you think it will help you relax. However, sometimes an extra set of eyes has the opposite effect, even if it is a friend. They are more than welcome to come, but if they are making you uncomfortable, they may have to wait out in the lobby.
Do you do touchups?
Yes, I will smooth skin and do some basic retouching on all of your portraits.
I’m not a model – are boudoir photos still flattering even if my body isn’t perfect?
Absolutely! Nobody is perfect and every woman is sexy. If you have any specific concerns, contact me and we can talk about it!
Do you do outdoor boudoir sessions?
We currently do not have our own outdoor location to do this, but if you have some private land, let us know and we’ll set something up. I do offer outdoor boudoir sessions, but only if they take place on your private property. It also has to be in a secluded area, so nobody can see us during the session. I do this to protect you and my company.
Do I have control over who sees my images?
Yes, most certainly. I will only share photos if you have given me permission and have approved the images for sharing. I respect your wishes and won't post or share any images if you’d prefer they stay private.
