OUR Most Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir Photography
Let us answer some of your questions…
The thought of a boudoir session can be intimidating and honestly a bit scary! When talking to people about their session, we get asked all sorts of questions. Given that, we thought it might be helpful to compile a list of our most frequently asked questions to offer you some insight into what it’s like to do a boudoir session with us!
Do you share my images?
Our number one priority is making sure our clients feel comfortable and safe. Boudoir can be a life-changing experience, but in some ways, that also makes it a pretty nerve-wracking one too! You might be in the process of learning to love your body and be feeling not quite ready to share intimate photos with the world… you might have done a boudoir shoot specifically for your partner and don’t want anyone else to see those special images. Both of these are great reasons for not sharing your photos! It’s completely about your personal preferences, and what you feel is best for you. We never share any images without your written consent, and only ever share photos that you feel comfortable with!
Do I have to wear lingerie?
Definitely not! It totally depends on your personality. You can wear literally anything that makes you feel confident and sexy. For some people, that might be lingerie - for others, it’s going to be a t-shirt and sneakers. We’ll always talk to you about a range of different wardrobe options before your shoot, so you don’t have to worry about not knowing what to bring!
Is hair and makeup included?
Hair and makeup can be included as an optional add-on to your boudoir experience! Whether you want a ‘I just woke up like this’ natural look, or something that’s more full-on glam, our professional hair and makeup artist will have you covered. They’ll tailor a look that will have you feeling your absolute best.
Do you photoshop my images?
We approach each image as its own work of art. We tweak things such as exposure, lighting and colour balance. We also offer skin retouching, and can remove temporary blemishes (e.g. bruises or pimples) and/or permanent features (e.g. scars). But we’ll never morph you into something that you’re not, because we know you’re beautiful exactly as you are. We always speak with you to understand your exact preferences with respect to editing your photos.
Do I need to know how to pose?
Not at all! It’s our job to guide you through each pose step-by-step. We’ll not only talk you through it, but we often jump into poses next to you so you can see them being demonstrated!
What type of print products do you have?
We offer a variety of luxury bespoke products that are perfect for displaying the photos that you’ll want to last a lifetime. You really can’t go past the feeling of picking up and holding a physical product... whether it’s something you want to gift to a loved one, or to have for yourself as a reminder of how incredible you are, they can act as a daily reminder of how transformative boudoir shoots can be. We offer luxury albums with gorgeous thick lustre pages (these come in a range of sizes, and with a variety of luxe cover materials to choose from!); crystal blocks; metallic wall art; as well as presentation boxes and folio spreads.
Do you offer digitals?
We do! All of our product collections include digital images.
Where will my shoot be?
Your shoot will happen at our dedicated home boudoir studio.
I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?
It’s completely 200% ok to feel nervous… that’s part of the experience! Jasper and I often say that it would probably be strange if you WEREN’T feeling at least a little nervous. But our clients often comment that those nerves disappear pretty early into the shoot after they realise how much of a laid-back, fun and relaxed experience it is.
