Why
have a Boudoir session done?
Many clients come wanting sexy, sensual portraits for their
significant other. Others come in wanting to do a session for themselves.
Having gorgeous and sexy portraits of YOU can be an incredible self esteem
booster. Confidence….. Nothing is more sexier than that. You will be walking out of the session with
your head held high with confidence. It is all about the experience and feeling
of being beautiful.
Here are some tips and hints to help you prepare for your
session.
Hair
and Make-up:
Most women do their own hair and make-up. Salons and
department store make-up counters are also good resources. We will also provide
this service for a small fee. Who ever does your make-up please let them know
that it is for a photo shoot. It will need to be a little darker than normal.
Body
weight and Image:
Most women (including myself) don’t have bodies like a super
model. Don’t worry. That doesn’t mean we can’t have gorgeous and sexy
photographs. We will highlight your assets while disguising the parts that you
are self conscious about. One thing to always remember, your significant other
loves you just the way you are. Our goal is to let you see how beautiful you
really are. No matter your size, your portraits will be stunning.
Pick
a theme:
Pick something that makes you feel sexy. It can be lingerie,
business suits, doctor coat, fire fighters, turnouts, police uniform, or any
other fetish that you or your significant other may have. You can also do
Pin-up style clothing.
Clothing
Choices:
Bring clothes that you feel sexy and beautiful in. Bra,
panties, corsets, teddies, stockings, tank top, booty shorts, sports jerseys,
and men’s business shirts are all popular. Remember to bring accessories for
each outfit as well as sexy shoes. We do have some jewelry and shoes that can
be borrowed. We also have some plus size lingerie.
Modesty
and Nudity:
You don’t have to take your clothes off to be sexy. Clothed, partially clothed, hinted nudity, a
full nude can all be sexy. We will only shoot what you are comfortable with
showing in your photographs. We will never push you into doing something that
you don’t want to.
Retouching:
We do a little bit. We will soften the skin, brighten eyes
and remove bruises, acne, stretch marks but only if need be. We will do
creative editing to give you more printing options. Example of creative editing
is color, vintage, color, and black and white.
Privacy:
Privacy is a concern due to the intimate nature of boudoir
sessions. All our boudoir images are kept in strict confidence and NO images
will be shown without written permission from you, the client. All images on
site have written permission to be displayed. We print and make our own albums
in house. See sample page to see some of our custom albums. If a large print is
wanted we use a professional lab that safeguards the privacy of our client’s
portraits.
Girlfriend
Session:
You and three to four of your best friends can get together
and do your session at the same time. Each girl pays the session fee. They can
be done at your home or in a local hotel. Each of you will be photographed
individually as you are ready. We will make sure that each of you get the appropriate
amount of images. At the end when everyone is dressed we will take a group shot
to commemorate the session.
Where
to do your session:
Your session can be done at my home studio, your home, a
local hotel, a bed and breakfast, and even outside in a private or secluded
area.
Tips
for the morning of your session:
Drink lots of water and wear loose fitting clothing. Avoid
tight fitting undergarments as they are most likely to leave markings on your
skin.
Tips
for after your session:
Getting into and holding some of the most flattering poses
can give you a work-out so don’t be surprised if you’re a little sore
afterwards. Drink lots of water and take pain meds as needed.
