Having questions about something you’ve never experienced is completely normal! Here are some of the most common questions I get about having a boudoir photo shoot with me!
Do you share my images?
I only share what I’m allowed to share. After you’ve seen your photos, I’ll ask you if you’d like them to be shared (on my social media and website). If you’d prefer that they stay private, no worries! You don’t have to do anything! They just go in my private folder where I hold onto them in case you want to purchase any other products down the road. If you’re like, “Hell yeah, show the world how hot I am!” then you’ll sign a release that allows me to use them! Either way, it’s completely up to you!
Do I have to wear lingerie?
Not necessarily! Plenty of my clients have worn other items! Whether it’s an oversized sweater and some knee high socks for a cozy look, or a jersey of your favorite sports team, I want you to rock what makes you feel sexy! Plus, we’re gonna shoot 3-5 outfits, so we can get plenty of variety!
Do you have payment plans?
I sure do! And they’re super flexible! You get to choose the frequency (monthly, weekly, or bi-weekly), as well as the due dates! The amounts will depend on three factors: which package you choose, how many payments we can get in before your shoot, and which frequency you choose. I do require prepayment for product collections, and that can be in full or in a prepayment plan.
Is hair and makeup included?
It sure is! Offering hair and makeup with our shoots accomplishes many goals! Getting it done in my studio means you don’t have to run around from appointment to appointment, making sure you’re on time. It also gives you time to relax and loosen up your nerves! Sitting in that chair, we’ll be talking and laughing and you’ll be learning way too much about me… we’ll basically be besties by the time your hair and makeup are done! No more nerves!
Do you photoshop my images?
I do some light photoshopping. I don’t make anyone unrecognizable, but I do remove bruises and blemishes or smooth out skin that got pinched up in the fabric, things like that. I want you to love yourself as you are, so photoshopping you into someone else does not serve our purpose! You’re beautiful and you don’t need it!
Where should I buy my outfits?
With every shoot, you get a wardrobe consultation. If you choose Collection 1, 2, or 3, your wardrobe consultation is virtual. That means you’ll send me a photo of you in your favorite date night type of outfit and I’ll send you links to outfits that I think you’d look amazing in. If you choose Collection 4 or 5, you get to do an in-person wardrobe consultation! Yay, shopping trip! We usually start at Shoppes at River Crossing in Macon, where we’ll look for outfits we both think would work and you get to try them on in real time! And I even buy us lunch!
What type of print products do you offer?
The most common product that people buy would be our albums. They come in two different sizes and they’re fully customizable! You get to choose the photos that go in your album as well as the cover material! We even have an amazing thing called a Diamond Cover Upgrade, where you can put one of your favorite photos on the cover! Another option would be our metal wall art! There are tons of size options for these beauties! We used to offer canvas prints, but these metal prints are waaayyyy sexier! The last of our main products would be our folio box, which is just as customizable as the albums! It’s a box with your favorite prints matted inside, ready for framing!
Do you offer digitals?
Four out of our five product collections come with digital files! While digitals are convenient, they’re easy to lose! Print products are where it’s at, but we do offer a digitals only option if that’s what you really want. Each shoot usually yields 70-100 photos, so you’ll have plenty to choose from!
I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?
Calming nerves can be different for each person. For me, the more I know about something, the better I feel about it. If you’re like me, read all the info you can find on my website here. You could also speak to someone you know personally who has done a shoot with my team and I. As I mentioned above, sitting in the hair and makeup chair often helps calm nerves, too! However, I do not allow the consumption of alcohol in my studio, so if you feel like that’s the only thing that would help you, we might not be a good match.
How many outfits should I bring?
We’re going to shoot 3-5, but it’s better to bring more than that! You also get access to my client closet, so if you want to bring none and just wear what I have, that’s fine, too! We’ll decide together which of the outfits (yours, mine, or both) will work the best!
Should I get to my shoot early?
Nah, that’s not necessary! My studio is primarily lit with natural light, so we choose the start time based on where the sun will be when you’re out of hair and makeup. If you get to the studio too early, you’ll be subjected to my dumb jokes and oversharing longer than you were scheduled for, so be warned!
Where is your studio located?
The address is 103 Klaus Terrace, in Warner Robins. If you need a landmark in order to visualize (like I do), it’s near Feagin Mill Middle School. I prefer that you park in the driveway, behind the white Tahoe.
