When is the best time to schedule a boudoir session?
Do you offer payment plans?
Where do your sessions take place?
Do you require a retainer?
Can I keep my photos private?
What should I wear?
I don't know how to look sexy or act in front of the camera. Help!
I've had women book their session after a breakup, before a wedding, for an anniversary, after having children, while celebrating a milestone, or simply because they were tired of talking themselves out of it. There isn't a "right" time to do a boudoir session.
I also know this can feel like a really big step. It can be intimidating to put yourself in front of a camera, especially if you've spent years picking yourself apart. I'm not here to convince you to book a session before you're ready. My goal has never been to talk anyone into doing something that doesn't feel right. If and when you decide the time is right, I'll be here.
And if you were looking for a more definitive answer, I typically book several months in advance 😉
Yes! A boudoir session is an investment, which is why we offer flexible pre-payment plans. You're welcome to make payments leading up to your session in whatever way works best for you. If you'd rather not do a payment plan, that's perfectly fine too. Full payment is simply due on the day of your session.
If you have questions about how payment plans work or want to talk through your options, I'm always happy to help!!
Most sessions take place in our private studio in downtown Howell, Michigan. It's a warm, cozy space with beautiful natural light, wood floors, multiple shooting areas, and plenty of privacy so you can relax and enjoy the experience!
If you're looking for something a little different, we can also plan your session at an Airbnb. This is a great option if you're envisioning a specific style or aesthetic that isn't available in the studio. Airbnb sessions do require an additional fee to cover the rental cost.
If you're not sure which location is the best fit, we'll talk through it together during your planning process ❤️
Yes. A non refundable session fee is required to reserve your session date. I only accept a limited number of sessions each month and your session fee reserves the entire day exclusively for you. Once your session is booked, I no longer accept inquiries for that date, which is why the session fee is non refundable.
Once your session fee is paid, your date is officially reserved and we'll begin planning your session together!
Absolutely! Whether or not you share your images is completely up to you. I will never share your photos without your written permission. If you choose to keep your session completely private, I absolutely respect that.
While I'm always grateful when clients allow me to share their images, there is never any pressure to do so. My goal is for you to feel comfortable every step of the way 🫶🏻
Don't stress about this part. Almost everyone asks the same question! After you book your session, I'll send you a wardrobe guide with tips on what photographs well, what to bring, and ideas for creating a nice variety of looks. We'll also chat about your style, the overall vibe you're going for, and anything you're unsure about. If you want outfit opinions while you're shopping, you can text me anytime. I genuinely love helping with this part!
You'll also have access to my client closet, which includes lingerie and bodysuits in sizes XS-4X, along with robes, sweaters, button down shirts, and other pieces you can mix and match during your session. You can absolutely bring your own outfits, borrow from the client closet, or do a little of both!
Almost every woman who walks into my studio says some version of this, and not a single one of them was expected to know what they were doing.
Before we even start taking photos, we'll spend time talking. I'll ask how you want to feel in your images, what you're nervous about, and what parts of yourself you love. That helps me tailor the session to you, instead of every woman feeling like she's doing the exact same poses. Plus, I don't just tell you how to pose, I demonstrate every pose myself, guide you from head to toe, and make tiny adjustments along the way, from what to do with your hands, to where to look and how to breathe. You don't have to figure anything out or worry about "looking sexy". That's my job!
By the end of your session, you'll probably be surprised by how natural it starts to feel. That's honestly one of my favorite parts of the whole experience!
