What is boudoir?
Boudoir is more than just a photoshoot. It’s a movement of empowered women. While it does involve beautiful and often sultry photographs it also involves self love, healing, personal validation, choosing ourselves, and claiming our own sensuality. Women have been taught to suppress their bodies and sexuality for all time and are finally standing up to society’s wrongful views and owning their beauty, strength, sexuality, and more. These photoshoots can be as conservative or as risque as each individual desires and leave women feeling empowered, beautiful, and loving themselves.

What is the shooting process like?
It is truly an amazing day all about you! You arrive at my studio in Fort Lee, NJ at 9 am. You are greeted by myself and a professional makeup artist and offered some refreshments then make up begins. During makeup we will chat and get to know each other more and go over your outfit choices and any bonuses you would like to add. After you are all glammed up we will begin shooting! I will pose and guide you throughout and get all your best angles artistically and with the best lighting and shadows. Once we stop shooting we will take a break- you can step out to lunch or even bring a book and just relax. I will work on your photos and then you will have a same day reveal and get to choose which ones you want! It is SO fun and honestly such a great high!

Is boudoir for me?
Boudoir is for EVERYONE. Mothers, wives, business women, stay at home women, every day women, single women, women in relationships, skinny women, heavy women, light women, dark women, and every woman in between. You don’t need a “reason” to book a shoot for yourself. You also dont have to be in a relationship-this is for YOU even though some women like to gift these photos to their partners, always remember this experience is for YOU. Boudoir is for everyone. The point is to do something for yourself and to feel good—you don’t need to fit any mold to do that.

I like boudoir photos but some are too racy for me
Your shoot will be tailored to YOUR liking. It can be as innocent, soft, and feminine as you like or as xxx and risque as you like. I will get to know. you ahead of time and learn what it is you are hoping for and we will design the shoot based on your preferences.

I like boudoir photos but I am not a lingerie person
Lingerie is not required! There are so many options—you can even be as simple as a tshirt or tank top! You can also do nude/implied nude, body jewelry, one of the bonus sets like the wet set/honey set (more info on this when booking), can use sheets, clothing off the shoulder, the possibilities are endless-you dont have to wear lingerie if it isn’t your thing.
-
Will you edit me/my body?
I will edit anything that isn't permanent on your body (ie: pimples, scrapes, blemishes, etc). If you have a scar or cellulite that you'd like removed I will edit or soften that too. Skin will be lightly smoothed. I edit my photos to enhance lighting and tones. I do not under any circumstances change your body. I will NEVER alter the shape of your body. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of boudoir and helping women fall in love with themselves and believe if I enhance your appearance with photoshop it will DEFEAT the purpose entirely. I don't want to sell you a dream- I am here to make you at peace with your reality and show you how naturally beautiful you are without changing a thing about you. Trust in my use of angles, lighting, and artistry. You don't need photoshop, bb. We are here to embrace YOU, as you are.
-
What happens if I get my period the day of the shoot?
This happens all the time! It is perfectly normal and not at all an issue. Thats what tampons are for! We carry on as normal and no one will ever know.
-
Do you have payment plans?
Yes! A lot of babes like to pay in increments leading up to the shoot. We can set up automatic payments if that is something you are interested in.

A little more about your boudoir photography experience
Once you book your shoot be prepared for an experience that will change your life. You will get to know me prior to the shoot and we will talk about everything and all your concerns so that you will be relaxed and comfortable the day of. You will get a boudoir prep guide with tips on how to prepare for your shoot. I will also help you choose your outfits. You’ll arrive and have your makeup and hair done on site, we will then shoot for about 60-90 minutes and trust me you will feel like a goddess and you will feel more empowered with each click of the shutter. After we shoot we will take a small break-you can hang in the studio or go grab a coffee/lunch if you prefer and then we will resume with your same day photo reveal-this is the hardest part of the process because you will LOVE all the photos and have a tough time narrowing them down.
