In short: it’s a series of tasteful, artful sensual images — usually of a woman, but sometimes of a couple or even a man.

Most boudoir photographers leave it to the client to decide how much skin is exposed during the session. Some clients are OK baring all, and the images are shot in a way that’s creative, classy, and genuinely artful. Other clients prefer to do a lingerie session which can be just as provocative and sensual. Others yet prefer to go a flirty, less exposed route — maybe they wear
an oversized sweater, a sports jersey, or a partner’s shirt. Boudoir photography runs the gamut and creating a customized experience with your photographer is part of the fun!

It is honestly a very personal choice. Start by choosing your favorite color! You want to make sure whatever you buy fits you comfortably, not too tight and not too baggy. If you have areas that you most certainly want to cover, such as your stomach, try high waists, corsets, or a gown! If you're going to simply break the ice, bring a button-down. This is one way to warm up in front of the camera. Want a boost in your chest? Find a supportive bra and panties to match. The options are endless. Have fun shopping!

Absolutely not! Beauty comes in all ages and sizes. We welcome thick, thin, young, and old. We encourage you to have this opportunity to experience self-love.

Absolutely! Almost everyone is nervous when they decide to do this type of shoot. It is totally
expected. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere during your session. Let's
turn on your playlist and jam out to your favorite music!

You have probably racked your brain with several photographers for your big day. But have you
thought about doing a boudoir shoot as a special treat for your spouse? This is a special time
in your life. You want to capture and remember these beautiful moments forever. Let the walls
down and bring your significant other closer to you. Besides, you will have a blast doing it. This
doesn't have to be a gift for anything, either. One current trend is a bridal party boudoir
session! It is all about female empowerment and lifting each other up in this crazy thing we call
life!

The only images you’re seeing are from women who decided they were 100% OK with those images being shared.

None of my clients are obligated to have their images posted and, in fact, a large number of my clients opt to keep their session pictures
private.

When you have a boudoir session with me, one of the first things we’ll discuss is your privacy. Some women prefer to have zero images shared anywhere. Some are OK with me posting to a private and secure group online for other clients to see, and some don’t mind having their images shown on my Instagram, Facebook, or Website.

If you’d like to share any images from your boudoir session, I’ll run the image(s) by you first and let you know when they’re being posted. You also reserve the right to have the images removed at any time. If you prefer to keep everything private, that’s 100% OK and an option that many of my clients choose. To help ensure peace of mind, do note that I have taken extra protective measures in my home and on my computer to ensure your images are steel-trap safe.

It’s a fair question, really, and we all have similar thoughts any time we’re about to spend a decent chunk of change on anything. I figured I’d take the time to explain why I charge what I do and what
goes into the total cost.

1. The images taken are sensitive. You want to entrust someone who is not only completely professional and makes you feel 100% comfortable in this intimate setting, but who you know will handle your images with the utmost care during the editing and storing process.

2. It took time to learn this art. The cost of my sessions isn’t just for the time we’re spending together; you’re paying for all the years of experience that got me to where I am today. You’re getting images that reflect years’ worth of experience.

3. In some cases, the cost includes a small team of people who help make you look and feel beautiful the day of the shoot. This isn’t cheap, but it’s a service I like to provide!

4. In some cases, we’re shooting in a location that costs money to rent. This is included in part of the cost.

5. Photography equipment is not cheap, my friend. I’ll spare you all the numbers, but my arsenal cost hovers in the five-figure range.

6. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work you may not realize is happening. I spend time scouting locations, researching the latest photography techniques, looking through images from your shoot to select the best one, and editing each one. The time I spend
doing these things far surpasses our time at the actual shoot, but it ensures an excellent
finished product.

Having a boudoir session is a really big deal. If you’re like many of my other clients, I know that you probably toyed with the idea of having a session for some time, and that making the decision to go for it caused a few butterflies. I also know that you invest money, time, emotion, and energy into the process from beginning to end.

For some, simply experiencing the session itself and seeing those digital stills is enough, but others crave a tangible takeaway. Something they can hold in their hands or gift to another. That’s where boudoir books and albums come into play.

A boudoir book or album gives you or your partner the opportunity to thumb through all your images — the ones you worked up the courage to pose for, and that makes you feel incredible every time you look at them — whenever you please. Physical albums also give you an opportunity to include some of the more risqué or exposed images — the ones you might not want to keep on your computer or online for privacy reasons.

Our boudoir books and albums aren’t just a hodgepodge of images. They’re carefully and thoughtfully designed to create a story using your favorite images from the session. We can often include text to personalize each, and we use the highest quality paper, cover, and binding for an exquisite finish.
