Top 12 Most Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir Photography
What women are asking when they inquire…
The thought of a boudoir session can be scary. When talking to women about their session, we get asked all kinds of questions. So we wanted to compile a list of my 12 most frequently asked questions to give you some insight on preparing for a boudoir session with us!
Do you share my images?
Our #1 priority is making sure our clients are comfortable, especially with boudoir! It can be a life-changing experience, but that also makes it nerve wracking. Sometimes, you are learning how to love your body and you aren’t quite ready to share the images with the world, or sometimes these photos are specifically for your partner and not for anyone else’s eyes. These are all great reasons for not sharing your photos, and it all depends on your personal preference! If there are photos that we would like to share, we will always ask your permission, and only share what you are comfortable with.
Do I have to wear lingerie?
You definitely don’t have to specifically wear lingerie, it depends on your personality. There are a BUNCH of outfit ideas other than lacy little things!
Do you have payment plans?
Yep! We offer pre-session payment plans! We also work with PayPal Credit, Affirm, Klarna, and AfterPay.
Is hair and makeup included?
Hair and makeup is included in all of our boudoir sessions. We think it’s a really important part for you to feel pampered, and having your hair and makeup done is a great way to do that. We can help you complete your look, whether that’s “I just woke up like this” or full on glam! You can bring any ideas you want for your makeup and we can try to use it for inspiration!
Do you Photoshop my images?
We do edit your images for light, exposure, color balance, and minor blemishes, like bumps, bruises or acne and scars. If there are parts of yourself that you are learning to love, or aren’t thrilled about, that is okay, we can do a little digital nip & tuck! We are skilled in posing and lighting to make you look your absolute best!
Where should I buy outfits?
There are a few places to buy outfits from! It depends on what style you want. You’ll receive a long list to choose from in my prep guide, but to get you started, you can try Victoria’s Secret, Forever21, AdoreMe, Torrid, Hips and Curves, or Fredrick’s of Hollywood. If you are looking for something specific that you can’t find, let us know, and we might know where to find it!
What type of print products do you have?
We offer a variety of albums and luxury metal prints! We absolutely love the feel of picking up a physical print, it's so surreal to see yourself like that! We also offer fun things like retro viewfinders and luxe calendars.
Do you offer digitals?
All of our collections offer some sort of print product, but most include digital images. There is also an A la carte menu to choose from as well. On this list, there is a digital image add-on available. The images come in a locked online gallery for you to download and share.
I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?
Nerves are all part of the experience! We always say that it would probably be weird if you weren’t at least a little nervous. The nervousness in the beginning of your session makes your moment of “WOW” seeing your photos for the first time so much better!
How many outfits should I bring?
We’ll have a minimum of 3 outfits! We always say to bring more if you can’t decide and I’ll help you decide at your session.
Should I arrive to my session early?
You should plan on getting to my studio about 5 minutes early to get settled in before hair and makeup starts.
Where is your studio located?
We have a private and discreet studio location in Hot Springs, AR. There is so much history here and lots of touristy things to do!
