Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir Photography

I'm really nervous. Is that normal?

It is definitely normal to be nervous for your boudoir session, so don't worry. Most of our clients are nervous until the session has gone on for a few minutes. After it starts, you’ll begin to loosen up and in no time you will be having a ball.

How do I know how to pose?

Don’t worry about posing. We've totally got you covered in that department. We know all the tricks to create the most flattering angles for you, no matter what shape or size you are.

Do your packages include hair and makeup?

All our boudoir sessions come with complimentary hair and makeup by a professional MUA. You can choose just how you want the makeup to look.

Am I allowed to bring alcohol to help loosen my nerves?

As long as you're over 18, that’s totally fine with us. We do offer champagne or wine at your session to help you relax.

Do you provide the wardrobe?

We do have the opportunity to hire some amazing crowns, wings, tulle skits and glamorous dresses. But your lingerie is something you’ll have to pick out and bring along yourself. If you need help choosing an outfit, we can definitely give you some suggestions, though.

I want share these pictures with my partner, but I don't want loose prints floating around. Any ideas for the best gift?

This is a very common concern and we totally understand. We recommend placing an order for our little black book or an album. This is much more discreet and will keep all of your images in one place and not floating around. We also offer story box collections, crystal tiles and Wall Art as well. For more information on these products, just ask.

What should I bring to my boudoir session?

For our sessions, we suggest two to four different outfits and any props you may want to incorporate. Need help choosing props? Check out my online magazine.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes, you can bring a friend if you think it will help you relax. Your partner can even be in the shoot. However, sometimes an extra set of eyes has the opposite effect, even if it is a friend. They are more than welcome to come, but if they are making you uncomfortable, they may have to wait out in the lounge.

Will my session be with a male or female photographer?

Our team is composed of all women, so you will only have a female photographer for your session and female MUA. Jaya the photographer has 20 years empowering women behind the lens.

Do you do touchups or airbrushing?

Yes, we will do a very soft air brush, smooth skin and do some basic retouching on all the portraits you purchase.

I’m not a model – are boudoir photos still flattering even if my body isn’t perfect?

Absolutely! Nobody is perfect and every woman is sexy. If you have any specific concerns, contact us and we can talk about it!

Do you do outdoor boudoir sessions?

We currently do not have our own outdoor location to do this, but if you have some private land, let us know and we’ll set something up. We do offer outdoor boudoir sessions, but only if they take place on your private property. It also has to be in a secluded area, so nobody can see us during the session. Otherwise we can choose somewhere very remote.

Do I have control over who sees my images?

Yes, most certainly. We will only share photos if you have given us permission and have approved the images for sharing. We respect your wishes and won't post or share any images if you’d prefer they stay private.
