Everyone has Questions about boudoir sessions, here are some answers.
Everyone has questions about a boudoir shoot. It takes a lot of courage to do one. I can assure you, though they can be a lot of fun if you're relaxed and willing to have fun with it. Here are some FAQs that I usually come across when scheduling a boudoir session.
01
What is a boudoir session, exactly?
Boudoir photography encompasses the whole genre of intimate female portraiture. Everything from glamorous head shots through to breathtaking nudes. I include all tasteful female portraiture that uses subtle lighting, great posing and compositions in creating your beautiful fine art photographs.
02
Do you photograph couples or men for boudoir sessions?
I photograph mostly women, and will photograph couples with restrictions. Though I will not individually photograph men for boudoir pictures. Sorry.
03
Will my pictures be on your website?
I assure you that your pictures will only be on my website with your signed consent aka model release form. They are standardly given during the contract process but are not required to sign. Some may be in my portfolio for future clients to see them. If you do not wish for the photos to be seen by anyone after your session, please let me know. I understand the sensetivity of this type of photography and will honor your wishes.
04
Do you do boudoir parties?
I do! Boudoir parties seem intimidating to a lot of people, but they can be a lot of fun. I can do a party for 4-8 ladies, and are sessions are discounted by how many people attend. If you're interested in organizing such event, contact me and we'll talk about it! They're great for Bachelorette parties.
05
Will I be wearing clothes/lingerie the entire session?
This is entirely up to your comfort level. I do shoot fine art nudity for most gals, but it is not at all necessary to capture great intimate photos. Sometimes leaving more to the imagination can send a photo into the “sexy-stratosphere”. If doing nude photos is something you are considering, we will chat about this before we start the shoot and save the nude ones for the end (when you’re warmed up!).
06
Who are the usual clients?
Well obviously they're women. I photograph women of all ages, races, and sizes. As long as you're over 18 years of age, and interested in the art of photography then they are my usual clients.
The ladies are military spouses, stay at home moms, any occupation. Ages 18, 27, 45, and even in their 80s. Sizes 2, 6, 12, 18 and even in the 20s. As long as you feel comfortable, I will feel comfortable.
This is for you as much as your significant other, you might as well enjoy your time!
07
What is your cancellation policy?
Once you've paid for your session in full, you are only able to receive a refund of 25% in the event of a cancellation up to 2 days before your session. If you must cancel within 48 hours of your session, there is no refund. The session payment is required of 50% at time of scheduling. All final payments will be require 1 week before session date.
