Maybe you are gifting your boudoir session to your partner, or maybe you are practicing some self-love. Either way, boudoir sessions can feel a bit overwhelming or scary if you don't know what to expect. BUT rest assured, there is nothing to be afraid of. You will walk away from your session feeling quite the opposite! Here is what happens at your session, as well as some tips to make you feel more comfortable.
Pre-shoot Consultation
After booking your shoot, we send you an in-depth guide with tons of information about your session, prepping, what to bring and how the whole process works. I, personally, also chat with every single client after booking about planning our session together so it is 100% tailored to YOU! Our phone call or video chat can subdue any nerves you might be having before your actual shoot date by speaking to us and knowing you are in good hands! Ask us anything - no questions is too silly 😉 We want each of our clients to put their guard down and know our environment is judgement-free and our goal is to create a memorable and empowering day that is all about you! But still, most women still have nerves about their shoot. We understand it's intimidating and you might be feeling vulnerable, that is totally normal, and something I myself felt before most of my shoots during my modeling years. It's easy to get in your head about this, but trust that our all female staff will quickly put aside your apprehensions and our focus is on making every woman's experience classy, comfortable and fun!!
Day of the Shoot
At our North Austin Studio, we specialize in creating the ultimate boudoir photoshoot experience by making each and every one of our clients feel safe and secure. We inspire confidence that shines through - reminding you that your beauty is individual and unique. Upon arrival, you'll be draped in one of our luxe silk robes, we'll pull your outfit selections and figure out which pieces will look best for each set, then it's time for you to relax in our hair and make-up chair with a mimosa, or your drink of choice, while our Glam-Squad transforms you from everyday women to a sexy bombshell.
Once we do a grand-reveal of your look, you'll be feeling like a million bucks and ready to go! I like to have your first look be one that is comfortable, whether that is a cozy off-the-shoulder sweater or a white button-down shirt, that way you feel comfortable and confident and we can ease into the transitions of exposure. The best pictures are captured when you feel comfortable and confident, so that is a big priority!! The nerves soon go away once I show you a couple of the beautiful images I capture. It's important for me to show you what I'm seeing as we progress through the sets because I want to show you the goddess that I am capturing with my camera. I coach and pose you through every step of the way. I help you position your body in the most flattering ways for your shape. There is no expectations here, except you being your self. The amount of time we shoot depends on which package you booked - we often see that most women want to keep shooting because they are having so much fun letting their hair down and feeling liberated, so you can always add on more time if you're feelin' it!
" A strong women looks a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink"
Before you leave the studio, we will schedule a day for you to come back for your image reveal and purchasing session, this usually takes an hour. My favorite part is when the women that i've had the honor to photograph, see theirselves on my screen. I get a lot of hugs and happy tears this day! It is such a powerful and transformative moment for me to be a part of. Together, we look through your images and find the best ones to put in an album, on a crystal drive, or printed on canvas or metal. I'll warn you ahead of time, it's a challenge to narrow down your faves 🙂 Once you've made your product decisions, I begin working my magic on your images and magazine quality retouching of your photos begins. Your finished products will be ready within approximately 2-4 weeks, wrapped in boutique paper and ribbons.
Privacy
Discretion and confidentiality are very important to us. My clients need to trust me with their images and I am very strict about privacy! All the beauties you see on my site or in my social media promotions have given me permission for marketing purposes. It is up to you if you would like to share your images empower and inspire others, or if you would like to keep your images to yourself. After all the french word 'boudoir' means woman's private room, and I vow to keep it that way, if you wish.
Every stage of life is beautiful and showcasing your strength with a boudoir photography session will serve as a constant reminder of your inner and outer beauty for years to come. Strong is Sexy!! Trust that clients walk away from this experience feeling more confident and empowered than ever before! Every woman deserves to feel excited about her feminine side and let her confidence shine.
