Boudoir Questions and Answers
Is boudoir photography for me?
Well, that depends on you! I firmly believe that boudoir photography is for all women who are ready to take the brave step towards having such an empowering and confidence-boosting experience. It is not your shape, size or age that matters, it is your readiness. So. . . are YOU ready?
Where will the session take place?
The session will take place within the privacy of our studio located in the upstairs of the Loft in the Color Pallete Salon. If you are interested in having your session take place at another location, please contact us directly to discuss this option.
I don't know how to pose!
During the session you will be expertly guided and coached through a beautiful combination of poses and movements. Poses that are flattering to your body type and movements that express the essence of your inner femininity. This will require focus and concentration, and will even be a bit of a workout as well. We're not kidding when we say that you'll probably be sore the next day! Your photographer will seem more like a personal trainer and therapist as he or she directs you through a variety of poses and helps to draw out the emotions that truly make you beautiful.
May I bring a friend along?
You can have a friend be with you during your makeover and at your image-reveal appointment, but we do not allow any guests to be present during the actual portrait session. This time is all about you and we don't want there to be any distractions. Having someone there who already knows you and has a specific perception of you actually ends up hindering the process.
What is included in my session and how much does it cost?
Our session is $350 and it includes professional hair and makeup styling, a 2-3 hour photography session, and access to our online resources that help you prepare for your session. We do not have a specific number of outfits that we require, the average is 2-4 outfits, but that is all discussed with your photographer based on what your vision is for the end result.
Will you use my images on your website?
Your privacy is our priority. We do not post images online without written permission from our clients. If you'd like us to post your images on our website or blog, we would be thrilled to do it but you will have to sign a release form giving us your written permission to do so.
Do you photoshop?
Yes I do. After the session we select the best images for you to view and perform artistic enhancements and subtle retouches to those images. Our goal is to present the best YOU without making you look like someone else. Additional photoshop requests can be discussed at your photo-shop appointment (additional charges may apply).
Can I do my own hair & make up?
We include professional hair and makeup styling in the session fee package so you don't need to do your own hair or makeup. The reason for this is that our stylists know exactly how to bring out your best features specifically for the camera. They factor in your desired look, all while considering how the studio lighting will affect the end result. We trust our team to make you look your best! And besides that, it adds to the entire experience for you to relax in that makeup chair and allow yourself to be pampered. We don't want you to miss out on that critical aspect of your self-appreciation experience with us!
What products do you offer?
I offer a variety of gorgeous product options including our most popular luxury Follio Boxes, as well as wall art, digital images, and more! On average, our clients spend around $2200 on their products, with a minimum spend requirement of $1500
I'm not sure I can pay up front for all that I want to get, is there a payment plan available?
Yes! We know that this investment can be a lot for some people, but the experience and products are worth every penny! This is why we offer several payment plan options, including the opportunity to "pay ahead" and come in when you have the amount you want "saved up" with us as a credit. If you'd like to discuss this in more detail, schedule a Discovery Call, and we'll go over payment plans with you!
Can I reschedule my session?
You can undoubtedly reschedule. I completely understand that at times things come up, and you need to change your session date. However, since we reserve that time just for you, we ask that you give us at least one week's notice. If you forget about your appointment or you need to reschedule more than one time, you'll need to pay a $100 fee to reschedule.
What is your refund policy?
All fees and payments for any sessions, services, and products are non-refundable.

I require the session fee to be paid at booking. Please remember that I do book very fast and are usually fully booked at least 1-2 months out. Also, please allow 6-10 weeks for the whole process to occur - from your session to have the finished product in hand.
