Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir Photography
Not everyone understands boudoir photography or thinks they can do it. You have nothing to worry about, I promise! Read on…
I'm really nervous. Is that normal?
It is definitely normal to be nervous about your boudoir session, so don't worry. Most of our 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 I’ve provided in another blog post coming soon!
How do I know how to pose?
Don’t worry about posing. I've totally 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?
I work with one of the best hair & make-up artists in the industry, and her fees are included in your session fee.
Am I allowed to bring alcohol to help loosen my nerves?
As long as you're over 21, that’s totally fine with me. However, if there are ever doubts about you freely giving consent to the session or specific poses, I will end it early for our safety.
Do you provide the wardrobe?
I do not provide your wardrobe at this time. If you need help choosing an outfit, I can definitely give you some suggestions, though.
I want to 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 our 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 our sessions, we 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.
Will my session be with a male or female photographer?
I’m a happily married man.
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 us and we can talk about it! Also, check this out.
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. We do offer outdoor boudoir sessions, but only if they take place on your private property. It must also be in a secluded area, so nobody can see us during the session. We do this to protect everyone involved.
Do I have control over who sees my images?
Yes, most certainly. We will only share photos if you have given us permission and have approved the images for sharing. We respect your wishes and won't post or share any images if you’d prefer they stay private.
