What women are asking us when they inquire.
Unveiling the Mysteries: Your Boudoir Session Questions Answered!
The idea of a boudoir session may feel intimidating, and I completely understand. As I connect with women like yourself, I receive a wide array of questions. That's why I've curated a list of the 12 most frequently asked questions to provide you with valuable insights and help you prepare for your transformative boudoir session with me!
Do you share my images?
Confidentiality: Your Comfort is Our Priority.
At our studio, we hold your comfort as our utmost priority, particularly when it comes to the intimate nature of boudoir photography. We understand that this experience can be truly life-changing, yet it may also evoke feelings of nervousness. Learning to love your body is a journey that unfolds uniquely for each individual, and we fully respect your personal boundaries.
Sharing your boudoir images is entirely up to you. Whether you're not yet ready to showcase them to the world or if they are specifically meant for your spouse's eyes only, we fully support your decision. We believe that your comfort and preferences should always guide the way.
If there are any particular images that I feel would be beautiful to share, I will discuss them with you first. Only the images you feel completely comfortable with will ever be shared. Rest assured, your privacy and trust are of the utmost importance to us.
Do I have to wear lingerie?
Outfit Options: Embrace Your Unique Style.
When it comes to your boudoir session, wearing lingerie is absolutely not a requirement. It all comes down to your unique personality and what makes you feel most comfortable and empowered. In fact, there are countless outfit ideas that go beyond the realm of lacy little things!
If you're seeking inspiration and alternative outfit options, I invite you to explore our blog post dedicated to choosing outfits. You'll discover a wealth of ideas that align with your individual style and preferences. Embrace the freedom to express yourself authentically and confidently in a way that resonates with your true essence.
Do you offer payment plans?
Flexible Payment Options: Making Your Experience Attainable.
We understand that everyone's financial situation is unique, which is why we offer several payment options to ensure your boudoir experience is accessible and manageable. Here's a breakdown of our flexible payment plans:
- To secure your session, a booking fee is required. We provide the option to split this fee into two payments, making it easier to secure your preferred date. The remaining balance is due two weeks prior to your session date.
- If you prefer to pre-pay for your products before your session, you have the option to schedule your session a few months in advance. This allows you to make payments towards your desired products over time, easing the financial commitment.
If setting up a pre-payment plan aligns with your preferences, please let us know during the booking process. We're here to support you and ensure your boudoir experience is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!
Is hair and makeup included?
Indulge in Glamour: Hair and Makeup Included.
Rest assured, hair and makeup are included in all our boudoir sessions! Our goal is to make you feel truly pampered, and there's no better way to achieve that than having your hair and makeup professionally done. Our incredible team is here to help you complete your desired look, whether you prefer a natural dewy appearance or full-on glamour. We wholeheartedly embrace every style!

Do you photoshop the images?
Authentic beauty: Embracing your true self.
When it comes to editing your images, I prioritize enhancing the light, exposure, and color balance. However, I want to emphasize that I do not edit out anything that is permanent. I believe that it's essential to embrace all aspects of yourself during a boudoir session. Editing out parts of you that contribute to your unique identity can be detrimental to your self-acceptance and the overall experience.
The journey of boudoir is about accepting and celebrating yourself in all your beauty, which means not completely removing parts of yourself that you may not fully embrace. While I utilize various editing techniques, I maintain a light touch when it comes to cleaning skin. My goal is never to create an unrealistic porcelain doll, but rather to ensure that the final images authentically reflect your natural look and inherent beauty.
With my expertise in posing and lighting, I have the skills to capture you at your absolute best and illuminate your inner radiance. Rest assured, every final image will showcase your genuine shine, allowing your true beauty to radiate out.

Should I arrive to my session early?
Arriving Early: Making the Most of Your Session Experience.
Living on the eastern shore, it's always a good idea to check the traffic conditions on the day of your session. To ensure a smooth stress free start to your day, I recommend planning to arrive at the studio 10 minutes early. This allows us to have a relaxed conversation about your outfit choices and discuss your desired inspiration for hair and makeup.
