Boudoir Photography

For starters, you! Every woman can benefit from a boudoir session. Boudoir is for those of all ages, backgrounds and body types. It is for the woman celebrating a life event or major milestone or for someone who overcame a challenge. It is for the woman who wants to feel more confident and view her own image as how she wants the world to see her. Boudoir is for the woman who wants to celebrate her own beauty, for the woman who battled cancer and wants to feel feminine again, for the bride-to-be, for the weight loss champ, for the mother in search of feeling more like herself. Boudoir photography is an art and a journey that opens our own eyes and heart to expose to ourselves just how amazing we are!

Sessions take place at my home studio and office located in Williamstown, NJ. A destination session off-site can be arranged as well at a hotel or possibly an Airbnb location. 

I do not time the session. I want my clients to feel un-rushed and at ease. The day is dedicated to you! As long as you are having fun, we will shoot until we get everything we possibly can. Hair and makeup will take about an hour to an hour and a half. The session itself is typically another hour and a half to two hours. 

If you opt to have your reveal and product appointment on the same day, after the session you will take an hour and a half lunch break. When you return, you will view your images with a preliminary edit, and we will discuss your product design! From start to finish, if done in one day, you can expect the whole experience to be about 5-6 hours. 

Yes! The only way boudoir makes sense is for the portraits to live on tangible products. We offer a variety of albums, products and wall art for you to go back to whenever you want to be reminded of how gorgeous and strong you are. 

Wear a shirt that can be easily taken off without compromising the hair and makeup styles. An off-the-shoulder shirt with a wide neck or button-up top will work. If you forget this, it's no problem! I can provide a robe for you! Aside from that, bring any lingerie you feel amazing in, possibly a pair of high heels and any inclusions you feel support your session goals (wedding veil / dress, partner's shirt or hat, favorite sexy cozy sweater, etc.).

Removal of blemishes, bruises, and cuts are included in the editing process. Unless requested and discussed, I will not remove birth marks, beauty marks, stretch marks, surgery scars, or unfavored tattoos. I would never assume a client would want any of the above removed - they could be a part of the woman's story. I will also not thin out or visually decrease body parts or body weight. I will pose and light you in the most flattering way and photograph you with intention to highlight the parts of yourself that you love!

Yes! This is so fun to me to be able to pamper my clients. I hand-pick the artists for you based upon the look you want to have and your personality. Sit back and enjoy the glam treatment!

This is a super common question. I had the same thought when I had a boudoir session done. Please, do not worry! It is MY job, not yours, to guide you through a very fluid pattern of poses that all feel like typical movement. We laugh and talk during the session so a lot of true smiles and expressions are captured. They are gold! Believe it or not, no one is actually as awkward as they make themselves out to be in their mind! 

Your privacy, trust, and comfort is most important to me. You have an option to sign a full or limited release. You also have the option to not sign either and keep your images 100% private. All images you see on my website, Instagram, blog or advertisement material are from sessions where my client fully understood that the images would be used, and they were excited and proud to give consent!

Two of the three collection options do include a set number of digital files. You can also opt to purchase digital files individually, in groups of 10, or purchase the entire gallery digitally! 

I have a few pieces in the client closet that can be worn as accessories. All clients are responsible for providing their own lingerie pieces for both sanitary and confidence reasons. Everyone's style is different, and I want you to wear what you know you feel your best in!

Fill out your session questionnaire! This will help me get a strong sense of your reasons and goals for doing a boudoir session. Also, I will learn a bit about your inner strength that we will lean on while shooting. In addition, get plenty of rest and drink a lot of water leading up to your session. Keep your hands and feet manicured (no chipped polish), stretch the morning of your session, and avoid tight undergarments or clothes that will leave line impressions on your skin. Lastly, take a deep breath and tell yourself (in the mirror) that you are beautiful!

Yes! We can set up a payment plan if needed. All major credit cards are accepted. The session itself requires a $200 deposit to book. 

I can't wait to show you how beautiful you are! Fill out the contact form and we'll start with a consultation, then get your session date booked! You'll be on your way to falling in love with yourself and believing in your own beauty in no time. Let's do this! xo
