F&Q's

Where are photographs captured?
Photographs can be captured at either a controlled studio, an upscale hotel, or your private setting.

What to bring?
Everyone has very different tastes in lingerie.  Always consider something that you are most comfortable wearing.  This will help your confidence and bring a significant outcome to your images.

Do you have lingerie I can use?
We want to ensure your safety and promote good hygiene.  So, we do not provide lingerie.

How many outfits should I bring?
While there is no limit, three to five outfits will give you a good variety of images.  Bring more than you think you will need.  Before we move to your shoot, you and I can discuss various outfits.

I am nervous, what is it like?
It is normal for most people to feel nervous, most women do not have boudoir photography done on a regular basis. When you arrive, we strive to create a stress free environment for you. We will have inviting scents and soft background music playing on your arrival and during your shoot. 

I do not have experience posing, can you help?
You do not need modeling experience for your shoot.  We will coach you how to pose and look your best.

Who is at the shoot?
A makeup artist and/or hair stylist (if you request one), and possibly a female assistant.

Can you help me with my hair and makeup?
A professional hair and makeup artist can be arranged for an additional fee.

What is your age cut off?
You will need to be at least 21 with a valid ID.

Will you see me change outfits?
Absolutely not.  It will not matter where your shoot is staged, when it is time to change outfits, you will have a private room for changing.

Can I bring an escort?
You are always welcome to bring an escort, whether it be your husband, boyfriend or best friend.

Should I bring props?
Props are always welcome.  Remember these are your photographs - there is no limit.

What if I am not as skinny as I want to be?
You are a beautiful woman the way you are. My job is to emphasize on the positives and discretely minimize the areas you are most conscience about.  Be proud of who you are.

Do you do maternity photographs?
Yes. Maternity images are setup similarly to our boudoir sessions.
