Boudoir Experience
Every boudoir photography session is going to be different, because every person is different. I have lots of favorite, go-to poses and ideas I use in sessions, but I try to cater every session to YOU. I am here to capture you in all your badassery, whatever that looks like.
What stays constant in every boudoir session is this: I am your HYPE GIRL. I’m an introvert until I get behind a camera, then I am ready to tell you how amazing you’re doing, how radiant you look, and how hella brave you are!! You SHOWED UP and that is more than sooo many people do.
So here’s how My boudoir sessions work:
Inquire
First things first: Contact me to start chatting about your session! Fill out my contact form, tell me a little bit about yourself or why you want to do a boudoir photography session. We’ll chat, I’ll send over a boudoir questionnaire, and we will look at availability and decide if you want a session in my studio or in an alternate space, like a rental studio.
Book your session!
I will consult with you about ALL THE THINGS you have questions about. Wardrobe, hair and makeup, and pre-session prep do’s and don’ts. Once all your questions are answered and we have a time, date, and location set, I will send over a Booking Proposal, which will have a contract for your session and invoice for the non-refundable initial payment (retainer), which is 50% of the session fee. This holds your date in my calendar. Once the Booking Proposal is completed, you’re booked!
Pre-session prep
Once you’re booked, I send over my Next Steps, including the pre-session prep guide full of tips to get the most out of your boudoir session! I also include a product catalog, an outfit guide, info on how to get to my studio (if your session is booked for my space), and a Model Release based on your preferences (clients choose from full, anonymous, web-only model releases, or no model release at all, which means your photos will remain completely private).
Get in front of the camera!
Boudoir session time! If your session is in my studio, I’ll have everything set up for you when you arrive. We’ll play one of my music playlists (or you can tell mw what you want to listen to) and take a ton of photos. I recommend setting aside at least 2 hours for your boudoir session. It typically only takes 1-1.5 hours to photograph you, but I want to make sure we get all the photos you want! I also have sample albums in my studio for you to look at, plus you want to take your time getting undressed and dressed.
So, don’t schedule something else right after your session! Go home, relax, eat tacos or pizza.
Image Reveal and Products
In the days after your session, I will lightly edit your photos (to about 90% complete, including edits to color, contrast, black and white, etc) and we will schedule a digital image reveal over Zoom. During your image reveal session, you pick out the images included in your session package plus any additional photos you’d like to purchase, which I will do the final edits on. I offer a bunch of STUNNING, high quality products like luxury photo albums, folio boxes, wall art, and more, which you can order during your image reveal.
Albums and products can take up to 4 weeks to be produced and shipped, so when planning your session give yourself time if you are planning a spicy surprise for someone!
