Your Boudoir Experience — Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear for my boudoir session?
Most clients come in unsure about what will photograph best. That’s completely normal. You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out.
I guide you through wardrobe choices before your session and help you select pieces that feel comfortable, flattering, and true to you. Boudoir doesn’t require anything extreme or revealing; soft fabrics, simple silhouettes, and layers that move with your body often photograph beautifully.
If you’d like to explore ahead of time, I’ve created a complimentary Lingerie Styling Guide that walks through what tends to work well on camera and how to choose pieces with confidence.
Most of my clients tell me they’re nervous. Especially if this is their first boudoir experience.
Every session is fully guided. I’ll direct you into poses that feel natural, adjust as we go, and check in throughout the session. Confidence isn’t a prerequisite — it’s often something that emerges during the experience.
You don’t need to perform or “know what you’re doing.” That’s my job.
What if I don't know how to pose or look "sexy?"
Completely! Your session takes place in a private studio setting, and your comfort and boundaries always come first.
Nothing is shared publicly without your explicit permission. Many clients choose to keep their images completely private, while others decide later that they'd love to share, either option is always respected.
Is the session private?
Professional hair and makeup is included with three of the four collections and is highly recommended. It's fun, helps you relax, settle into the experience, and ensures a polished, cohesive look on camera.
I work with a trusted makeup artist whose approach is natural, refined, and tailored to you, never heavy or overdone. Even a “no-makeup” look is best achieved professionally.
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes. Every image you receive is professionally edited.
Retouching is done thoughtfully and intentionally...smoothing skin, softening distractions, and refining the image while still preserving what makes you look like you. My goal is never to change your body or erase your features, but to present you in a way that feels elevated, natural, and authentic.
Will you retouch my images?
Only with your permission.
You are never required to allow image sharing. If you choose to grant permission, it can be as limited or as open as you’re comfortable with and you’re welcome to decide after you’ve seen your images.
Your privacy is always respected. Many steps are routinely taken to ensure privacy.
Will you share my images online?
A booking retainer is required to reserve your session date. The remaining balance is typically due prior to your session, and payment plans may be available depending on the collection you choose.
Full pricing and collection details are shared transparently during the inquiry process so you can make an informed, comfortable decision. Payment plans are available.
How does pricing and payment work?
Your initial proof images are delivered through a private, password-protected online gallery where you can view and select your favorites to order.
Once your order is retouched, any digitals included in your package will be delivered securely. All printed albums and artwork is produced through a professional, museum-grade print lab known for exceptional craftsmanship and archival quality. Printing is performed out-of-state to help maintain privacy. You’ll be notified as soon as everything is ready.
