boudoir FAQ
Why should I get a boudoir session?
Boudoir is all about showcasing the feminine form, with everything pushed to an extreme: curvier curves, softer hands, more extreme angles, and closer crops. While the typical boudoir client can feel extremely vulnerable during her session, the payoff is a set of striking images that will make a once-in-a-lifetime gift for your significant other (or just yourself!).
What if I'm not good at posing?
Let me worry about the lighting, posing and technical aspect of the session. The best thing you can do to produce the photos you want to simply to trust my posing tips and suggestions, and not to take yourself too seriously! I know how you feel both vulnerable and possibly silly doing the poses, and to me it's just another day on the job, so don't worry about if I'm thinking about your body or posing ability. This session will naturally push most people out of their comfort zone, and I'm very aware of how vulnerable and uncomfortable a client can feel during the session. That's why I try my best to demonstrate the pose myself so you can copy it to the best of your ability, and if you can't, don't worry - we'll simply go with the flow and move on to another pose. Be forewarned, I am not a model. so chances are that I will feel as silly and awkward as you do demonstrating these poses! But laughter during a session is a great thing, so be prepared for lots of it.

How long will my boudoir session last?
The length of a boudoir session with me can vary from client to client, but generally you can expect your session to last between one to two hours. This estimated session length includes set-up time, take-down time, breaks between poses, and the time spent coaching you through the poses.

What should I wear to my boudoir session?
I suggest you pick 3-5 different outfits, but I also encourage "non boudoir" items that we can incorporate in a boudoir way (ie soft sweaters, off the shoulder shirts, boots, jerseys, cardigans, etc- anything that makes you feel sexy and confident, not uncomfortable!) Of course, you can also mix and match items for different looks. I do recommend at least one white underwear/bra set for shots with your veil (if applicable) if you're doing a wedding boudoir session. Anything lacy also works well for boudoir!
What should I bring to my boudoir session?
I suggest you pick 2-3 different outfits. In addition to any outfits you’re planning to wear, you will want to bring any wardrobe items or props that you would like to include in your session that are personal to you. Some basic examples look like your favorite ring that you don’t get to wear very often, your partner’s shirt, or your best pair of heels. If you’re going with a special theme or concept for your shoot, you may want to bring more specific props. Some examples for that could be a few of your favorite books, a cozy sweater, or your wedding veil. Bring anything that makes you feel sexy and confident!
*For bridal clients: don't forget any wedding accessories that you may want to incorporate (shoes, veil, bridal crowns, bodices etc work great!)
