Read on to learn about some of the most common questions my clients have when reaching out to learn more about doing a boudoir session.

I’m really nervous. Is that normal?

It is definitely normal to be nervous for your boudoir session, so don’t worry. Most of my 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 the relaxation tips I’ve provided in another blog post:

How do I know how to pose?

Don’t worry about posing. I’ve totally got you covered in that department. We 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?

Yes!! Professional hair and makeup add the ultimate polished look to your session.

Do you provide the wardrobe?

We do not provide your wardrobe. This is something you’ll have to pick out and bring along yourself. During the session planning process, you will receieve a detailed guide laying out all of the outfits to bring, and in addition I am here to guide you if you need more specifics.

I want 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 we totally understand. We recommend placing an order for our smaller album. This is much more discreet and will keep all of your images in one place and not floating around. We also offer folios, and digital images. For more information on these products, just ask.

What should I bring to my boudoir session?

For our sessions, we suggest four to eight different outfits. Detailed guidance is given at the time of booking to all clients.

Can I bring my partner?

No, partners are not permitted in the studio unless they are also being photographed- Couples sessions are available.

Will my session be with a male or female photographer?

You will be photographed by Andrea- a female photographer.

Do you do touchups?

Yes, we will smooth skin and do some basic retouching on all of your final 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!

Do you do outdoor boudoir sessions?

Yes! Outdoor sessions are available on my private land.

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.
