Boudoir Photography - Frequently Asked Questions
The thought of a boudoir shoot can be scary. When talking to women about their session, we get asked all kinds of questions. So we wanted to compile a list of our 12 most frequently asked questions to give you some insight on preparing for a boudoir session with us!
Do you share my images?
Our number 1 priority making sure our clients are comfortable, especially with boudoir! It can be a life changing experience, but that also makes it nerve wracking! Sometimes, you are learning how to love your body and you aren’t quite ready to share the images with the world, or sometimes these photos are specifically for your significant other and aren’t for anyone else’s eyes. These are all great reasons for not sharing your photos, and it all depends on your personal preferences! If there are photos that we would like to share, we will ask your permission first, and only share what you are comfortable with!
Do I have to wear lingerie?
You definitely don’t have to wear lingerie specifically, it depends on your personality! There are a BUNCH of outfit ideas other than lacy little things!
Do you have payment plans?
We offer a few payment options! There is a booking retainer to book your shoot, and the balance is due 2 weeks before the date of your shoot! If you want more time to be able to pay off the shoot, you can schedule it a few months out, and pay it off in payments! Let us know if this is something you want to set up!
Is hair and makeup included?
Hair and makeup is included in all of our boudoir shoots! We think it’s really important for you to feel pampered, and having your hair and makeup done is a great way to do that! Our amazing team can help you complete your look, whether that’s “I just woke up like this” or Full on glam! You can bring any ideas you want for your makeup and we can try to use it for inspiration!
Do you Photoshop my images?
We do edit your images for light, exposure, and color balance. We do NOT edit anything “out” that is permanent! we think it can be damaging to have a boudoir session done, and then edit out the parts of yourself that make you who you are! Part of the process of accepting yourself and seeing your beauty also means not photoshopping out parts of yourself you don’t like. If there are parts of yourself that you are learning to love and aren’t thrilled about, that is okay! We are skilled at posing and lighting to make you look your absolute best and brings out your shine!
Where should I buy outfits?
There are a few places to buy outfits from and it depends on what you are getting and the style of your shoot! Here is a long list to choose from with different styling and sizing! Yandy, Fenty Lingerie, Victoria Secret, Shein, Amazon, and Adore Me. If you are looking for something specific that you can’t find, let me know and we might know where to get it!
What type of print products do you have?
We offer a variety of albums with and without acrylic covers. Our suede album with images ranging from 3x5 to 10x8 is our favorite. We absolutely love the feel of picking up a physical print, it’s surreal to see yourself like that “30 glorious and glossy pages from the boudoir shoot that I flip through myself every chance I get. I think I look at them more than he does. It’s a daily reminder that my self image has completely changed after having my boudoir shoot.” -Darnese, on her experience at her boudoir shoot!
Do you offer digitals?
All of our packages include some sort of print product, but there is also a all digital list you can choose from as well! Our print collections has digital images included or you have the option to add on digital images which comes on a crystal USB drive.
I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?
Nerves are all apart of the experience! We always say that it would probably be weird if you weren’t nervous. The nervousness in the beginning of your shoot make your moment of “WOW” seeing your photos for the first time so much better!
How many outfits should I bring?
This depends on how many different looks you for. We recommend 3-6 different outfits, but we always say bring more if you can’t decide and we will help you decide at your shoot!
Should I get to my shoot early?
You should always plan on getting to your shoot about 10 minutes early so we can talk about your outfits and colors and make a plan for hair and makeup!
Where is your studio located?
We are located in Brandywine, MD!
