Show your Sexy Boudoir

Boudoir sessions are tasteful photos that hint at sexiness. Every person has their own idea of what sexy is as well as what they are comfortable with. These sessions are cute, fun, sexy, flirty and even a bit sensual all the while maintaining your comfort level.I will meet with you prior to your studio session to show you examples of my work as well as discuss your expectations for your session. My artistic approach on nude or boudoir portraiture is simple, be your self, your body is beautiful, you’re a woman! You don’t have to be flawless to capture the femininity and sexiness that each and every one of us have.

Consulting and Planning Your Session: Each Session will start with a consult to plan your shoot. We can schedule a time to come into the studio to further discuss your session.  Its  not uncommon that I work with  clients from out of town. I have many consultations via email or by phone for clients who will be traveling.  After we have discussed your style and wardrobe we can schedule you in for a date that works best for you.

Location: Sessions are held  here in my studio. The studio is somewhat vintage/retro inspired with a cute little dressing room to get ready in. Complimentary champagne, waters  and chocolates. I do not supply wardrobe. However I do have available hats, jewelry, scarves, white sheet look, Menes work shirt, ties etc.

How long should I expect my session to last: Sessions generally last about two hours from start to finish. We will work as  as many wardrobe changes and looks as we can during our time in the studio.  Usually we can pull together three to five wardrobes with a several looks. Its best to bring several options in case you don’t like the way one is fitting. More is better than less.

How long until I can view my session proofs: It generally takes on average two – three weeks before your proofs are ready to view.  Each image is personally touched up by myslef with special magazine style edits, so that you will get the full effect of your session. On average you will end up with 60-80 final images to choose from.  Your final proofs will be uploaded to a private online gallery for you to view. At this point you can pick your favorite images to purchase or decide to purchase and  build a Boudoir book. Boudoir books are the most cost effective to get the most out of your experience. And the best way to show case your beauty. (Most sessions have deadlines. Birthdays, Anniversaries etc.. At times I can push your edit process up if I know ahead of time and we discuss the time frame. ) Its best however to give yourself and the Artist plenty of time to work though the process of your experience.

Investment and Payment: Payment for boudoir sessions are due at the time of  each session, unless other arrangements have been discussed prior to the shoot. Investment for Boudoir  sessions are  $187. (does not include Boudoir Book) Each session comes with three of your favorite 5×7 images or two 8×12′s. Checks are accepted in studio. Credit card payment will need to be set up special online through a shopping kart.

Show Case Your Beauty Boudoir Books: Boudoir books can be purchased Ala carte per session . Custom designed with your favorite twenty five images.  Ten pages with twenty sides, high quality paper. 8×8 size Press printed magazine style. Each page personally designed to fit your style, and showcase your beauty. Hinged style pages for easy viewing.

Purchasing prints Ala carte: Prints can be purchased Ala carte 5×7$15   8×12$25  12×18$35  16×24$60

Hair and Makeup: If your not wanting to do your own makeup I would  suggest scheduling with a cosmetic counter at one of the department stores. Asking a friend to help with your makeup .  I have several girls I work with on occasion, however they do charge and would have to be available for the date of session.

Directions: Sessions are by appointment only. Once your session is booked I will send you directions.

Dress Tips

Makeup
Exfoliate your skin the day before your shoot to ensure your complexion is smooth and silky. False eyelashes make your eyes pop on film, and they create a dramatic bedroom look when topped with black eyeliner.

Give your cheeks a bit of suggestive flush with a cheek stain. Make your lips look super plush by lining them with a pencil close to your natural lip color and filling in with a shiny gloss.

Do not forget a manicure and pedicure. Chipped or dull nails can ruin an otherwise perfect look.

If you do not have a tan, consider getting a light spray tan or using self-tanner several days prior to your shoot. A darker skin tone can help hide a multitude of common body issues, including cellulite and varicose veins.
Hair
If you have medium-to-long hair, wear it down during your boudoir shoot. Shiny, cascading hair looks sexy and will give you lots of ways to pose: Running your fingers through it, twirling it innocently or fanning it out over a pillow are just a few ideas.

Short hair can look alternately spunky and sophisticated. Try out different styles during your shoot for a fun contrast of your multiple sexy sides.
Wardrobe
What you wear right before your shoot is just as important as what you wear during the session. Arrive in loose clothing with no elastic bands, tight seams or anything else that could leave pressure marks on your body.

Select lingerie and other items of clothing that are form-fitting. Loose or draped clothing does not photograph well in a boudoir session.

Look for matching bra-and-panty sets, snug tank tops, boy shorts, thigh-high stockings, flirty nighties, athletic jerseys of your fiance’s favorite team or even one of his dress shirts worn with bikini bottoms.

Don’t forget the shoes. Bring at least one pair of high heels with you, preferably black.
