Boudoir Guide

I see you, mama. You spend all your time putting everyone else’s needs first. This is your opportunity to schedule something just for yourself. To celebrate every scar and every curve in this body that carried you this incredibly far in your life.

You are already even more beautiful than you even realize. You already are moving, breathing, living art. Let me show you.

Boudoir photography can be so incredible. I have completely recalibrated my own self esteem and self image ever since I started doing boudoir photoshoots for myself more regularly. And now I have the immense privilege of sharing that gift with the women who come to my studio.

When it comes to boudoir, we do it even if we’re nervous. We step outside our comfort zones and discover the sexy, sensual, brave parts of ourselves that society has tried so hard to break down.

Photoschoot Schedule

Photoshoots are typically scheduled on weekday mornings. The day starts at 9am with hair & makeup from my trusted & experienced aesthetician, Diana. I have been working with her for years, and all my clients rave about her. Hair and makeup takes around 60-90 minutes.

Afterwards, you will come to my studio 5 minutes away. We will collaborate together on the style of photos you like, and I will guide you through beautiful posing to help you feel your best. The photoshoot typically takes 60-90 minutes.

After a fun morning of pampering and photos, you will take a short lunch break, and then return for the photo Reveal! At the Reveal, you can see the photos we took together, and we can decide on a perfect package for you. You will choose your favorite photos to keep, or upgrade your collection if desired.

Digital files are delivered within a few more days. Physical products take 1-3 weeks depending on the size and quantity.

FAQ

What if I’m a nervous wreck?
Girl, that’s normal! None of my clients have professional lingerie modeling experience. I could be photographing what I believe to be the most beautiful woman on the planet and she will have a huge list of insecurities. Seeing yourself as a work of living art is life-changing. I will be there to coach you through every step of the way. Most women say it’s just like hanging out with a friend!

Who do you serve?
My space is proudly affirming of all LGTBQIA+ women, and ALL body shapes and sizes! Every BODY deserves gorgeous, sexy photos of themselves! I do couples sessions only in the context of maternity boudoir, otherwise my studio primarily focuses on female boudoir.

Will your photoshop me?
I smooth over bruises, blemishes, and bumps for glowing, radiant skin. If you wake up with a pimple, don’t stress! I do photoshop bulges created by bra straps, but I don’t fundamentally change the shape of your curves. Your REAL body is perfectly gorgeous exactly how it is!!


What do I wear?
When shopping for your wardrobe, I recommend feminine details, sexy strappy pieces, lace, and body jewelry. Bodysuits look amazing on everyone!
I also recommend high-waisted cuts on panties and bodysuits.
Check out these lingerie brands: AdoreMe, Torrid, Hips and Curves, City Chic, and Shein.
Make sure garments fit you like a glove! No gaping bras, straps that are tightly digging into skin, or cups overflowing. I also highly recommend against bringing babydoll lingerie, which cover up your curves.

What is the investment?
The session fee of $400 reserves the date for you; covers professional hair and makeup; and the entire 5 hour boudoir experience. It does not include any prints, digital files, or products. There is a range of collection options so you can decide the combination of digital files, albums, and prints that fit your preferences best. I do require clients to pre-purchase at least the minimum collection, paid in full, 1 week before the photoshoot.

Is it okay if we don’t share my images online?
Your privacy is 100% up to you! My top priority is making sure you’re fully comfortable. I would NEVER share anything without your consent.

I love to be able to showcase the beautiful and real women who do these photoshoots, and potentially give others the inspiration to do a session as well! You can also give me permission to show only anonymous images— these are photos where the identity is obscured, either by turning away from the camera, hair/arms covering face, or closeups where there is no face at all in the photo. You can indicate your level of privacy in the questionnaire attached to the Welcome Email.
