Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing the right photographer for your boudoir session is so important, and here’s why I might be the perfect fit for you. I specialize exclusively in boudoir photography—it’s not just something I do, it’s my passion. With years of experience and hundreds of sessions under my belt, I’ve worked with women of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds, and I know how to highlight what makes each of my clients uniquely stunning.
My dedicated studio space is designed specifically for boudoir, offering the perfect setting to bring your vision to life. I also provide a client closet full of beautiful outfit options for you to choose from, so you don’t need to stress about what to wear. And to make your session extra special, I include professional hair and makeup by an experienced artist who will have you looking and feeling amazing.
When it comes to photography, lighting and posing are my superpowers. I understand how to work with light to flatter every curve, and I’ll guide you through posing so you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. My goal is to create an experience that’s fun, empowering, and completely tailored to you.
With me, you’re not just booking a photographer—you’re choosing someone who’s dedicated to helping you see yourself in a whole new light.
The short answer is yes. My hair and makeup artist is an absolute pro, and she’s a big part of what makes your boudoir session so special. She understands that photoshoot makeup is completely different from everyday makeup—it needs to be more dramatic to really show up on camera while still looking natural and flattering.
We’ve been working together for years, so she knows exactly how I photograph faces and what makeup techniques work best under my lighting and angles. That level of experience and teamwork ensures your final images look flawless.
She’s also amazing at tailoring the look to you. Before she even picks up a brush, she’ll do a consultation with you to talk about your vision, your preferences, and your features. She’s honest and knowledgeable—she’ll explain what works beautifully for your specific facial features and what might not translate as well in photos, so you can trust you’re in the best hands.
This isn’t just about makeup—it’s about setting you up to look and feel like the absolute best version of yourself. Trust us, you’ll see the difference in your final images!
Booking your session at least 6 weeks in advance ensures we have plenty of time to create and deliver your stunning products without stress. This timeline allows for your session, careful editing of your images, and the production of your gorgeous custom products. It also builds in a little extra padding for any unexpected delays. Planning ahead means you’ll have everything ready right when you need it—perfectly on time!
Most clients invest between $2,000 and $2,500 for their boudoir experience. The $450 session fee includes professional hair and makeup, access to the client closet, a fully guided one-hour photo session with up to 4 outfit changes on any of the studio sets, and custom editing of your chosen images. Photos and products start at $799 and are completely customizable to fit what you’re looking for. This is your luxury experience, designed just for you!
