Question 1

How much does a boudoir session cost?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

Why is boudoir so expensive?

Accepted Answer

Boudoir photography is a LUXURY experience. As with any luxury item, it's not a typical, everyday thing.

Boudoir photography in particular is a very unique genre of photography that's part therapy session where the client is literally transformed from the experience. I've yet to photograph anyone who hasn't walked away feeling euphoric from the rush of completing a session. Most people find the experience just as valuable as the photos themselves.

And of course each photo is a work of art carefully and beautifully crafted. Thousands of hours have gone into mastering the skill to create this type of art in a beautiful and respectful way. I pride myself in creating art that's sensual, candid, tasteful, and meaningful.

Question 3

Are photos included with my session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The full boudoir experience comes with 20 photos and the mini session comes with 10. See more details in the Investment section.

Question 4

What is the photo reveal/ordering session?

Accepted Answer

This is when you get to see your photos for the first time and select your favorites to be edited.  During this time, you may also order print products such as photo prints, wall art, and custom albums. Contact me for a price list of all available products.

Question 5

Is hair and makeup included in my session fee?

Accepted Answer

Professional hair and makeup is included in the full boudoir experience only. You must provide your own hair and makeup for mini-sessions.

Question 6

When can I see my photos?

Accepted Answer

As soon as we finish the photo session I will cull the photos (narrow them down to the best 75~100 images). This takes about 1 hour, so feel free to grab some lunch or hang around and relax for a bit. After photos have been culled, I'll call you back and you may see the unedited raw photos. At this time, you can purchase your favorites to be edited as well as order any print products or albums.

Question 7

How long does it take to receive my photos and album/print products?

Accepted Answer

After you've selected your favorites, it takes about one to two weeks to edit the images and another two weeks for your print products to arrive.

Question 8

What should I wear for my shoot?

Accepted Answer

Outfit options are one of the things we'll discuss during the pre-shoot consultation. I'm happy to help my clients decide which outfits will look best in photos. I can also send you an idea board to help you get inspired.

Question 9

Do I need to be a model to shoot with you?

Accepted Answer

The only requirement to shoot with me is that you have fun and enjoy yourself. You don't need any photography experience. I'll guide you throughout the entire shoot.

Question 10

Do I have to get naked for my photos?

Accepted Answer

The amount of skin you want to show in your photos is entirely up to you.

Question 11

Can you Photoshop my body?

Accepted Answer

I personally edit every photo and keep it as close to natural as possible. This includes delicate skin retouching that retains your natural beauty while removing temporary blemishes.

Question 12

Can I bring a friend?

Accepted Answer

A friend may be present while you're having your hair and makeup prepped, but they will be asked to wait outside during the actual photo shoot. The only people present during the shoot will be me and you.

Question 13

Can I reschedule or cancel my boudoir session?

You may reschedule your session one time for any reason. If you reschedule a second time or cancel your session, you will forfeit your $500 deposit.

Question 14

Will my photos be posted online?

Accepted Answer

Only with your express, written permission will I ever share your photos online for others to see. Your privacy is extremely important.
