Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can wear what ever empowers you and makes you feel good! Whether that’s a favorite old T-shirt, a corset set, nothing but a white sheet, going nude, or anything in between. The whole idea is to help you look and feel your best. All of this is discussed during your in person consultation or on a Zoom call where we can custom design your dream shoot and explore all aspects of your personality.

You can if you would like, or you can borrow from my client wardrobe. It is a growing curated collection, with items ranging in sizes from 6X to XXS, to ensure there is something for everyone. While I have quite a few femme pieces, I also have gender neutral items. Part of your session experience includes wardrobe styling and selection, and all of my clients may choose up to three wardrobe changes.
-
Yes, professional hair and makeup is included as complimentary in all studio sessions, unless otherwise noted. I work with amazing artists that are highly skilled in working with all skin tones and hair textures!
-
Trust me I know how you feel! I have been in front of the camera in a boudoir session myself, and a bunch of your insecurities may come to the surface. Everyone starts out nervous but excited all at the same time, and you may even consider backing out. But I assure you, you are in good company. My best advice is to take a few deep breaths, stop looking in the mirror and trust me and my team to work our magic on you. As soon as you begin your hair and makeup you will start to relax. We will chat throughout the session, and I will do the poses with you. We’ll have your favorite music playing, there will be light snacks and plenty of water to keep you hydrated. It will be like hanging out with one of your best girlfriends. I promise to make this as enjoyable as possible!
-
Yes! I welcome all couples, as long as they are of legal age and consenting adults.
-
Absolutely! I give super easy-to-follow instructions and coach you from your facial expression down to the placement of your fingers. I WILL NOT tell you to “look sexy” or “work the camera” or any other vague directions. I will guide you through the process, and I will do the poses right alongside you to mirror me. I will literally be there for you every step of the way!
-
We do offer digital collections, but more than that, we offer custom handmade albums, luxe metal wall art and archival prints! Seeing your images in physical print on the wall or in a luxurious album has a far deeper impact than only viewing the images on a screen.
-
Yes, we offer pre-payment plans! All payments will be finalized prior to your session date. This enables you to get full enjoyment out of your session!
You will choose a base collection, and will have options to upgrade at the time of your ordering appointment.
-
Yes and no. I will always retouch your images to a degree, as that is a large part of my artistic expression. I will keep the skin looking like skin, and as natural as possible. While I may remove a blemish or a bruise that popped up the day before your session, I do not alter your body in a way that is not consistent with true to life. Your beauty is not created in Photoshop or through a filter, and it is always my goal for you to believe in your beauty, even without the retouch, so your portrait selections are always done without any retouching.
-
No, absolutely not! You can keep them to yourself, or choose to share them. Any images that I share, I have been given written permission to do so. We empower you to make that personal decision, and will never pressure you.
