What women are asking us when they inquire
The thought of a boudoir session can be scary. When talking to women about their session I get asked all kinds of questions! So I wanted to compile a list of my 12 most frequently asked questions to give you some insight on preparing for a boudoir session with me!
DO YOU SHARE MY IMAGES?
NOT AT ALL! The images you see on our website or social media are all clients who gave us permission to share their images. Our number one priority is making sure our clients are comfortable, especially with boudoir! It can be a life changing experience but that also makes it nerve wracking! Sometimes you are learning how to love your body and you aren’t quite ready to share the images with the world or sometimes these photos are specifically for your spouse and aren’t for anyone else’s eyes. These are all great reasons for not sharing your photos and it all depends on your personal preferences! If there are photos that I would like to share I will ask your permission first, and only share what you are comfortable with!
DO I HAVE TO WEAR LINGERIE?
You definitely don’t have to specifically wear lingerie, it depends on your personality! There are a BUNCH of outfit ideas other than lacy little things! You can wear a loose sweater for a sweet girl next door look, you can bring your sweetheart's button down shirt, sports jersey, you can wear your favorite crop top with denim shorts, sports bra and leggings for a fitness type look, the possibilities are endless! Coming up with ideas that are fun or meaningful to YOU is my favorite part of the process!
IS HAIR AND MAKEUP INCLUDED?
Hair and makeup is included in all of our boudoir sessions! I think it’s really important for you to feel pampered and having your hair and makeup done is a great way to do that! Our amazing team can help you complete your look. Whether that’s “I just woke up like this” or full on glam! You can bring any ideas you want for your makeup and we can use it for inspiration!
DO YOU HAVE PAYMENT PLANS?
We have all of our clients on pre-session payment plans and we offer a few payment options! There is a creative fee due to book your session, and then the balance is due 14 days before your session date! If you want more time to be able to pay off your session you can always schedule a few months out and make payments!
DO YOU PHOTOSHOP MY IMAGES?
I am very proficient in photoshop and can edit as much or as little as you prefer- to an extent. I DO NOT alter you body so significantly, that the pictures look nothing like you. I offer skin smoothing, I will gladly remove acne, scars or bruises and can do some body slimming, contouring. We'll discuss this during our planning consultation and again at your ordering appointment.
One thing to consider: Part of the process of accepting yourself and seeing your beauty also means not photoshopping out parts of yourself you don’t like. If there are parts of yourself that you are learning to love and aren’t thrilled about, that is okay! We are skilled in posing and lighting to make you look your absolute best and bring out your shine!
WHERE SHOULD I BUY MY OUTFITS?
There are many places to buy outfits from and it depends on what you are getting and the style of your shoot! There is a long list of places we recommend, including Victoria’s Secret, Adore Me, Torrid and Hips and Curves. We also have a client closet with pieces ranging in sizes from xs-4x that you can borrow! This means you can show up to your session with nothing but some nude thongs and we will help take care of your wardrobe!
WHAT TYPE OF PRINTED PRODUCTS DO YOU HAVE?
We offer a variety of albums, metal prints and luxury keepsake boxes with prints in them! The Luxe Album with the acrylic Ice Cover is one of my favorites! I absolutely love the feel of picking up a physical print. It is so surreal to see yourself like that!
“20 glorious and glossy pages from the boudoir shoot that I flip through myself every chance I get. I think I look at them more than he does! It’s a daily reminder that my self-image has completely changed after having my boudoir shoot.” Miss A on her experience at her boudoir session!
DO YOU OFFER DIGITALS?
All of our collections include some sort of print product and they include high resolution digital files as well! The digital images come in a locked online gallery for you to download and share! Digital files are available on our Ala Carte Menu as well, but I'll try my best to entice you to get at least something printed as well ;) We all can use the daily reminder of how truly beautiful we are.
I’M FREAKING OUT! HOW CAN I CALM MY NERVES?
Nerves are all part of the experience! I always say that it would probably be weird if you weren’t nervous! The nervousness in the beginning of your shoot make your moment of “WOW” seeing your photos for the first time so much better! If you're into meditating, I can definitely recommend that to soothe yourself, saying daily positive affirmations to yourself (it's even more effective if you look into your own eyes in the mirror) and breathwork and EFT tapping are great ways to do that too. I'll make it a point to talk about those in my fb group, so if you want to learn, join us!
HOW MANY OUTFITS SHOULD I BRING?
This depends on what we discuss during your styling and design consultation. Every session comes with 5 outfit changes, but you can bring more than that or less or nothing! Even though we have our amazing client wardrobe for you to borrow from, we always recommend bringing anything you think you might want to wear! Once you arrive we can help you decide at your session!
SHOULD I ARRIVE TO MY SESSION EARLY?
Please try to arrive at your session as close to the start time as possible! We will be ready for you promptly at your scheduled time!
WHERE IS YOUR STUDIO LOCATED?
The studio is located in Fishhawk, Lithia, just outside of Tampa.
