Should I Bring My Own Lingerie? What Brands/ Sites Would You Suggest?
As lingerie is something extremely personal and unique to individuals' bodies, I recommend bringing your own lingerie that makes you feel incredible. There are plenty of brands I am in love with, including Bluebella, Gooseberry Intimates, Intimissimi, La Perla, Journelle, Victoria’s Secret, For Love & Lemons, Edge O'Beyond, Honey Birdette, etc. I'm also a huge fan of using "normal" clothing and spinning them into something fashionably sexy. You can wear anything really — if it makes you feel sexy, it'll be sexy!
What payment options do you accept?
I currently accept all major credit cards via Honeybook platform. If you’d like to set up a payment plan, that’s 100% something I offer and encourage as it typically includes extra goodies :) I’d love to customize a plan for you.
Will you Photoshop me?
Throughout this entire experience, you’re going to feel like a goddess. Once you see the pictures, you’re going to be amazed at just how gorgeous you are! I use Lightroom to apply color adjustment to the image and Photoshop to retouch skin, textures and other details.
I don't know how to pose! Will you guide me?
I’ve got you covered. I’m going to guide you through the entire process, direct you into the most flattering poses and angles and make you look (and feel!) your best during the shoot.
Is hair and make-up included in the session?
For the most part YES! I've partnered with some of the best hair and makeup stylists in the area and they come to the shoot location and work with us to create the exact look we planned. On some occasions, like when I’m hosting boudoir marathons out-of-state, hair and makeup is not included.
I’m engaged and would LOVE to give this to my future hubby as a special gift. When should I book my shoot in order to have the pictures ready before the wedding?
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You’re engaged! Bridal boudoir sessions are extra special because they celebrate the beginning of one of the most important stages of your life. For all my clients, including those interested in a bridal theme, I recommend booking a session 6 months before the desired date of product delivery. So, as soon as you’ve decided you want to go on this journey with me as your boudoir photographer, book your session! No matter how early on it is.
I’m Self-Conscious About My Stomach/ Arms/ Legs. Can You Get Rid Of Rolls And/Or Cellulite?
I will do my best to focus on the areas of your body you adore rather than on the parts you might be insecure about, including roughness in your skin or rolls. This boudoir experience should make you realize that your beauty is irrelevant of cellulite or extra jiggle room. Allow yourself to be free of self-deprecating thoughts and power yourself with a self-love mindset. I’m here for you!
I’m Pretty Shy. How Do You Expect Me To Strip Down In Front AND Feel Comfortable Enough To Look Sexy?!
Ha! Here’s something I bet you didn’t think of – when it comes to stripping down in front of other women, we are ALL a little shy. We’ve been accustomed to a society where women often put other women down – but that stops here. I am your biggest fan and will make you feel comfortable by being your friend through this process. I will reassure you of how beautiful you look, how well the colors we chose accentuate your skin and how stellar the pictures are looking throughout the shoot. I may even let you peak at the back of my camera to see for yourself!
I Don’t Want My Pictures Displayed Online. How Do You Go About Protecting My Images?
Boudoir images are sensitive to many people. I completely understand. If you don’t want your images displayed on my website, blog, social media, etc., they will not be posted. Simple as that. This is something we go over and will legalize it by signing a contract that stipulates it in detail. If, however, you want to be featured across my platforms (which I greatly appreciate!), you can select which ones you feel comfortable with and I will only use those.
I’m a curvy woman - Is that an Issue?
Absolutely not!! Women’s bodies are the work of a true artist. I believe all women are gorgeous and divinely created. My passion is not only celebrating that but also facilitating the act of YOU celebrating it. You are worthy of being seen, regardless of your body type.
