FAQs

As lingerie is something extremely personal and unique to individuals’ bodies, we recommend bringing your own lingerie that makes you feel incredible. There are plenty of places I recommend, including Amazon, Shein, AdoreMe, Victoria’s Secret, and my personal favorite is Lovechild Boudoir.

Bring as many as you’d like. We can sort through them during wardrobe consultation to determine what would photograph the best.

Over the years and hundreds of sessions, we have shot women of all ages, shapes and sizes. No one comes in knowing how to pose, and everyone leaves with amazing pictures! See our testimonials for examples of their experiences. You’ve hired US to make you look and feel the best you ever have, and we deliver. Your job is to have more fun than you ever have. We only ask that you be confident in yourself! We will pose you in the most flattering ways. You will be amazed!

We use Photoshop to edit and retouch your photos. We use it to remove blemishes, scrapes, bruises and anything temporary on the skin. Upon request, we will also remove the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and smooth out cellulite. We also do minor body modifications where we smooth any bumps and bulges caused by the pose or wardrobe. 

 
Why do we use Photoshop, you may ask? To us, it’s no different from wearing Spanx or putting makeup on to enhance your natural beauty. We use Photoshop to help you see what everyone else sees when they look at you!

Generally I prefer to work one on one with my clients, simply because sometimes an ‘audience’ can make you feel more self conscious or is a distraction. But YES, absolutely you may bring someone. Ask us about our group rates as well.

Ah yes, the proverbial elephant in the room! Some women are uncertain about a male boudoir photographer, some prefer them. We guarantee a completely comfortable, professional, and FUN atmosphere. Still uncertain? Just read our testimonials!

Not unless you say it’s okay! Every client I feature on my website has given me written permission to post her images. Privacy is very important to us. If you decide you don’t want them shared, that is completely fine. If you want to give us permission, I’d LOVE to share them so other women can get an idea of what the experience looks and feels like.

Hey, that’s understandable… it’s not every day that you call up a complete stranger to take pictures of you wearing lingerie! Our clients often walk in feeling a bit nervous, but always leave smiling and talking about how much fun they had. You may not do this often, but we do and we’ll help you feel comfortable, beautiful, and empowered.

YES! Hair and makeup is included in all sessions. You will spend approximately one hour being pampered by one of our amazing artists in hair and makeup before we start your session.

Let’s do it! We absolutely encourage you to bring in your ideas. We may not be able to recreate your entire Pinterest board, but we’d love to collaborate with you to bring your vision to life. A few notes:

  • If you have props, bring them and we’ll incorporate them in!
  • Guns are allowed, but please inform us first if you’re planning on bringing them for your shoot.
  • Costume outfits are welcome!
  • Coming prepared with pose ideas is totally fine, but not necessary – we’ve been doing this for a long time and know what poses will look great!
  • If you have very specific ideas or multiple props to use in your session, it may be considered a custom session with special pricing. Please call for more details.

No way! You can be as revealing or covered up as you wish. We want you to feel comfortable and sexy – whether that involves a silky robe, a T-shirt, a plunging neckline, or a lace teddy, we’ll make it work!

Yes! We do photograph nudes in a tasteful, artistic style.

No worries! You may reschedule your session with a 7 day notice once, free of charge.

We recommend booking about 6 weeks in advance for orders needed by a certain date. If you require a quicker turnaround, please contact us to see if we have the availability.

Once your session is complete, your images will be ready for review 10-20 days after your session. We’ll schedule your Image Reveal Session once your images are retouched.

Photo albums have a production time of 7 days after order placement. 
 
Please note that if you choose a payment plan, we will hold all images and albums until paid in full.

Short answer: No! Self-tanning products can often leave your skin blotchy or with an orange tint that comes through in photos. Honestly, we would much rather have you come in pale or with a very light tan. 

If you decide you would like a little color for your session, we recommend getting a light spray tan 4-5 days before your session so it has time to fade a little. Be sure to watch the areas around your ankles, knees and wrists. If you use a tanning bed, watch the area under your bottom and arms, where white areas are often visible. 
 
If you do come in with blotchy areas, a deep sunburn or heavy tan lines, we will not be responsible for evening the skin and removing any problem areas.
