“Okay, Okay. I’ll do it. But I have a few questions, first…”

Boudoir Clothing: What should I wear?

Wear pieces that make you feel comfortable and beautiful. Choose lingerie that accentuates the parts of you that you want to show and embrace, and don’t forget to stay true to your personal style. If you feel sexy in your fiance’s old band t-shirt then ROCK it. If you and your partner love to get a little naughty then bring those handcuffs and blindfold…

How Many Outfits Should I Bring?

Around 3-5 different pieces of lingerie. I always suggest having a matching base you can throw accessories over; a solid color lace underwear and bra works well for this. But the rest is up to you…teddies, a comfy sweater, baby-dolls, slips etc are great! While my personal philosophy is “less is more,” you can, however, bring extra accessories like a piece of jewelry, a shawl, or heels, as well.

So, uhm, can I go nude?

YES! All boudoir sessions are photographed tastefully and as an art-form. I never push my clients to do anything they’re not comfortable with but I do ask that you trust me, as your photographer, to create beautiful, natural images that make you feel you’re very best. While most girls are apprehensive at first, these are always the images they end up choosing from their galleries.

Do you edit the images?

I sure do! All images you receive will be edited, high-resolution images. While I do smooth out obvious blemishes and/or scars, I don’t alter who you are. These sessions are about celebrating yourself and embracing your true beauty; they’re about being a total bad-ass and owning it!

Should I get my hair and makeup done?

That is completely up to you! For most of my clients, getting their hair and makeup done means one less thing for them to worry about. They feel beautiful and confident and it shows in their images. But again less is more and I just want you to be yourself. So if you don’t normally wear make-up and never do your hair then that’s who I want to photograph.

Quick Tip // Be sure your fingers and toes have a  pretty mani/pedi and/or are clean before the session, even if it’s just a clear polish!
