NEED TO KNOW
Everything you need to know after you book, and before you arrive for your shoot. I want to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible, and there are no surprises!
PREParation + Logistics
-
Absolutely not! 99% of my clients are not models and have never been in front of a professional camera. My job is to guide you through every pose, angle, and expression. By the end of the session, you’ll be wondering why you aren't doing this full-time.
-
Wear whatever makes you feel like the best version of yourself. While traditional lingerie is a classic, it’s not mandatory. You can bring:
Oversized sweaters or favorite band/sports tees
Sheer fabrics or silk robes
Anything that makes you feel sexy and comfortable.
-
These are available as add-on services to any base package. If you choose not to add professional glam, please arrive "camera-ready" with your hair and makeup completed. Visit Boudoir Packages for more details.
-
Preparation is entirely personal. Some clients choose to wax/shave, get a professional tan (recommended over self-tanners), refresh their hair color, or get a manicure. None of this is mandatory. Do whatever makes you feel pampered and prepared.
PHOTO session experience
-
That is 100% normal! Boudoir is a vulnerable experience, and those first-session jitters are expected. My studio is a zero-judgment zone. There are no expectations for you to "put on a show"- just show up as you are, and I will handle the rest.
-
Yes! You are welcome to bring one "hype person" (friend or partner). Their only job is to provide encouragement and help you feel secure while staying clear of the shooting area.
-
Every step of the way. I provide full direction down to your fingertips, so you never have to worry about what to do with your hands or how to angle your body.
-
No, at this time I am only focusing on individual sessions so that I can give you my full attention!
-
Not at all. While these sessions are intimate, they are never about performance. The vibe is sensual and cinematic, but the level of nudity is always up to you. My goal is to capture your self-ownership and confidence, creating a space where you can feel entirely comfortable - and completely powerful - in your own skin.
body image + retouching
-
I believe in honoring your authenticity, not changing who you are.
Standard Retouch (Included): Color correction, lighting adjustments, and "basic tidy" (temporary blemishes like acne or bruises).
High-End Signature (Add-on): Full-glam skin finishing and advanced retouching.
Check out the Retouching page for more info.
-
No - I have over 15 years of retouching experience, and I prefer to use those skills to give every image the attention to detail that they deserve. I edit all my images in Photoshop individually, and there is no mass-production, or cutting of corners through AI software.
-
Absolutely not. My studio is an inclusive space for all bodies and identities. Everyone is beautiful in their authenticity. If you feel you don't fit a "traditional mold," this session is especially for you.
-
These are parts of your story. Unless you specifically ask to hide them, I prefer to highlight them as unique features of your identity.
privacy + permissions
-
Privacy is the default. I only share images if you provide express written consent via a model release form. If you want your photos to stay between us, they will.
-
On Set: Just me (and your guest, if you bring one).
Post-Production: I do all my own retouching; nothing is outsourced.
Delivery: Your digital gallery is password-protected.
Physical Goods: My trusted, discrete printing vendors will see the images during the production of albums or prints.
investment + delivery
-
The Viewing: About one week after your shoot, we will meet (in person or online) to select your favorites.
Final Delivery: Retouched digitals are delivered within one week of your selection.
Physical Products: Prints and albums vary based on vendor production times.
-
Both! Every package includes a digital album. Higher-tier packages include professional prints and heirloom albums. Anything can be added onto your base package a la carte. Check out the Boudoir Packages page for more info.
-
I require a $500 non-refundable deposit upon booking, with the remainder of the cost required before delivery of images.
vibe + atmosphere
-
I love a custom vibe! Send me a Spotify link or tell me your favorite genre, and I’ll curate a playlist for your session.
-
Feel free to bring items that represent you - musical instruments, favorite books, or hobby-related gear. Let’s make it personal.
-
Absolutely - creating a safe, welcoming space for diverse expressions is a core value of my business. Read more about My Mission to get to know me and my beliefs!
-
It’ll be just the two of us! My studio is a closed set, ensuring your session remains private and intimate. If you’ve added a hair and makeup service, the artists will finish their magic and head out before we begin shooting. I don't work with assistants or secondary photographers, so you’ll have my undivided attention. Of course, if you choose to bring a "hype person" for support, they will be there to cheer you on!
If there are any questions or concerns you still have about the shoot or my boudoir photography services, please feel free to reach out and ask me. All questions are welcome!
