What is Boudoir Photography? Boudoir photos are simple and sexy, they show off "the look" in your eyes and the way your body curves. Boudoir photos are meant to be fun and flirtatious, laid back and exciting! I want my clients to feel beautiful in their photos and feel a real confidence boost when they see them after. We will have fun together, relaxing to music and good vibes, the experience is meant to be lighthearted and playful.
Our luxurious session includes hair and make-up (with lashes) and I highly recommend this option for clients. Sit back and let someone pamper you. Unwind talking to the hair and make-up artist as she gets your face camera ready.
Some thoughts you may be having:
I don't want to be naked. You do not have to be nude for boudoir photography, you can wear as little or as much as you want as long as you are comfortable. We can make a simple pair of jeans and a tank look as hot as Victoria's Secret's latest teddy. I recommend bringing several outfits/looks with you, you may find as the session goes on you may feel daring enough to wear the piece you weren't sure you would be ready for. I encourage clients to relax but try and step out of their comfort zone during the session, no one else will see the proofs, you have nothing to lose. Some ladies choose to try a few topless or bare bottom photos, that is ok too but please do not feel like you have to do that at your session for the photos to be sexy.
I will not shoot photos of more than a suggestive nature.
I don't have a lot of lingerie. That is ok. You don't need pieces that are specific lingerie pieces. Bring a football jersey, a sexy pair of jeans, bra and panties, boy shorts, mens wear, scarves, ties, whatever fits your style - that's what I want you to bring.
I don't have the body for it. This is a terrible misconception that people have about boudoir photography. These photos can be done with ANY body type and shape. I will talk to you by phone or email and ask what you love about your body and what you are self conscious of. We will play up the parts you love best and pose to perfection the parts you are nervous about. I have several set ups to work with and we can even hide certain body parts you do not want shown.
I don't want my photos used on the website. IF there is something from a session I am interested in using I will ask for permission, it will likely be a photo without any identifying marks or face or of just the face/eyes. No photos will be used without permission. I proof photos over the internet with a password protected gallery, if you would prefer in person, I am ok with that too. No photos in their entirety with your face would ever be used without permission, I want my clients to trust coming to me. This is also why you don't see a lot of work online, most of what I do stays with my clients.
I don't want to get my hair and make-up done. That is ok but I highly recommend having the professional hair and make-up artist get you ready. Camera ready make-up is different than you would wear to work or out on a date. A professional make-up artist knows what translates well on camera and will have your face ready to be seen. The make-up includes fake lashes and if you have never worn them before then you are in for a real treat! I have included hair and make-up in the price of the photos and the price is the same whether you get it done or not. I find that I spend much less time editing photos where professional hair and make-up services were attained and more time on photos where it was not making my cost of business the same either way.
