FAQ

How do I prepare for a boudoir shoot?

Well, well, well, looks like you're ready to slay at your boudoir shoot! To make sure you're in top form, start by getting a good night's sleep, drinking plenty of water, and fueling your body with nutritious food. You can also treat yourself to a pampering session by getting a fresh mani-pedi. Remember, boudoir photography is all about embracing your inner goddess and feeling confident in your own skin. After you book, I'll send you all the juicy details on how to prepare for your big day, so get ready to shine like the star you are!

Will you share my photos?

Your privacy is our top priority, so we offer a release that allows you to choose which images we share. But trust us, once you see how stunning you look in your photos, you might just want to show them off to the world! We have many clients who opt for anonymous shots, where their identity is concealed, but their beauty and confidence shine through. So if you're feeling daring, go ahead and let us share your gorgeous images (with your permission, of course!). And if you prefer to keep them all to yourself, that's totally fine too. We want you to feel comfortable and empowered throughout the entire boudoir experience.

What should I wear?

When it comes to choosing your outfit for your boudoir shoot, I've got you covered. You can wear anything from sexy lingerie to a cozy sweater, whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful. I'll walk you through every step of the way, from selecting the perfect ensemble to striking the perfect pose. And after you book, I'll send you a styling guide to help you plan the perfect outfit and accessories to showcase your unique beauty. So get ready to slay like the queen you are, because I've got your back!
