BOUDOIR FAQ
-
If you've ever thought about it — even for a second — it's probably right for you. Boudoir isn't about a certain body type, age, or relationship status. It's about celebrating you, exactly as you are right now. I've photographed clients of every shape, size, age, and confidence level. Every single one has left standing taller than when they walked in.
The experience is warm, judgment-free, and full of genuine laughter. You'll be guided through every pose in a completely private studio. And I can say with confidence: most clients tell me it was one of the best things they've ever done for themselves.

That nervousness is completely normal — and it almost always disappears within the first few minutes of the session. Part of my job is making you feel at ease before we ever pick up the camera: we'll chat, I'll walk you through everything, and we'll ease into it together at your pace.
I know how to pose and light every body type in a way that is genuinely flattering, and just beautifully, powerfully you. You don't need to look a certain way. You just need to show up. I'll take care of the rest.

Whatever makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Classic lingerie sets, bodysuits, an oversized button-down, your partner's team jersey, a slip dress, a cozy sweater — it all works. Bring 3–5 outfits so we have variety, and try everything on in advance. Avoid tight elastic waistbands (they leave marks). My client closet has bodysuits, teddies, and a gorgeous set of ostrich wings if you want to explore something unexpected.
And if you're unsure? Bring options and we'll figure it out together at the session. There are no wrong choices here.

I highly recommend it — and I have a wonderful makeup artist who can come to the studio to prepare you before your session. The difference it makes in how you feel (and therefore how you photograph) is remarkable. Professional hair and makeup is available for $175–$200. Many clients say getting glammed up is their favorite part of the whole experience.
That said, if you prefer to do your own hair and makeup, that's perfectly fine too. I'll give you some tips when we chat.

Yes — and it's one of the most personal, meaningful gifts you can give. Boudoir albums, framed prints, and custom gift boxes make for an unforgettable wedding gift, anniversary present, or birthday surprise. If you're working toward a specific date, book at least 4–6 weeks in advance to allow time for your session, image selection, retouching, and product delivery.
