Embracing a boudoir session can feel like stepping into uncharted territory. It's normal to have a whirlwind of questions swirling in your mind. To help ease your journey, I've gathered the 12 most frequently asked questions I receive. Let's dive in and shed some light on what to expect when you prepare for a boudoir session with me!

1. "Will my images be shared publicly?"

Your comfort is our top priority. Boudoir is an intimate, personal journey, and the decision to share images is entirely yours. We respect your privacy wholeheartedly. If you choose to keep your photos private, they remain solely for your eyes. Should we find an image particularly stunning and wish to share it, your explicit permission is always sought first. Your boundaries are our command.

2. "Do I have to wear lingerie?"

Absolutely not! Boudoir is about expressing your true self, and that means choosing outfits that resonate with you. Whether it's a formal gown, a favorite t-shirt, or nothing at all, your comfort and personality are what shine the brightest.

3. "Are there payment plans available?"

We believe boudoir should be accessible to everyone. That's why we offer flexible payment options. Secure your session with a booking retainer, and then let's tailor a payment plan that suits your timeline and budget. This way, you can focus on the experience, not the expense.

4. "Is hair and makeup included?"

Every boudoir session with us includes professional hair and makeup. We want you to feel pampered and at your absolute best. Whether you're envisioning a natural look or full-on glamour, our talented team is here to bring your vision to life. Bring any ideas or inspirations, and we'll work our magic!

5. "Do you Photoshop my images?"

Our editing philosophy is all about enhancing your natural beauty while staying true to your essence. We fine-tune elements like light and color, but we don't alter your unique features. Our goal is for you to recognize and celebrate yourself as you are – beautifully imperfect. Remember, it's not about changing who you are; it's about highlighting the beauty that's already there.

6. "What should I wear? Do you have outfit options?"

Absolutely! At our studio, we take pride in offering a diverse and inclusive client closet with over 300 items, catering to sizes XS-6X. Our collection features a variety of cuts, colors, and styles, ensuring that every woman finds something that makes her feel confident and gorgeous. The only requirement for using our client closet is to wear a skin-tone, seamless thong underneath for hygienic purposes. My goal is for you to walk in with just yourself and find everything you need for your session right here.

If you're considering bringing your own outfits, we’ve got you covered there too! We have a curated list of recommended retailers offering a range of styles and sizes to suit every taste. And don’t worry about feeling overwhelmed – I’m here to help you choose outfits that flatter your body shape and reflect your personal style. Whether you opt for something from our closet or bring a piece that holds special meaning to you, we'll ensure you look and feel absolutely stunning.

7. "What type of print products do you offer?"

In addition to our gorgeous albums and luxury glass boxes with matted prints, we're excited to offer metal prints as well. There's something truly special about seeing a stunning image of yourself displayed prominently. Metal prints add a modern, elegant touch with vibrant colors and durable finish, turning your boudoir photos into captivating wall art.

Our clients adore the tangible connection these print options provide. Whether it’s the sleek look of a metal print or the classic feel of a glass legacy box, each product celebrates your unique boudoir journey, offering a lasting reminder of the confidence and beauty captured during your session.

8. "Do you offer digital images?"

Yes, all of our packages include some form of print product, but we also offer digital options. Our digital images are provided in a secure online gallery, giving you the freedom to download and share your photos as you wish.

9. "I'm nervous about my shoot. How can I calm down?"

It's completely natural to feel a bit jittery – most clients do! I always say it's the anticipation that makes the reveal even more thrilling. Embrace the nerves; they're part of the transformative experience. Remember, you're in a safe, supportive space, and I'll be there to guide you every step of the way.

10. "How many outfits should I bring?"

For your session, plan on two outfits to capture diverse looks. While you’re welcome to bring your own outfits, many clients love exploring our extensive client closet, which offers a wide range of choices from sizes XS-6X. I recommend bringing at least one personal outfit, but feel free to bring more, and we'll help narrow it down to the two that work best for your session. Remember, if you opt to use our client closet, it's required to bring a skin-tone, seamless thong for hygienic reasons. This way, you have the flexibility to choose what makes you feel most comfortable and confident!

11. "Should I arrive early for my shoot?"

Yes, arriving about 10 minutes early is just right. It’s the perfect balance – you won’t find us still brewing our morning coffee, but there’s ample time to discuss your outfits, finalize hair and makeup plans, and make sure everything in the studio is perfectly prepped for your session. It’s a little moment for us to ensure your experience is as smooth and delightful as possible, setting the stage for a fabulous shoot!

12. "Where is your studio located?"

Our studio is nestled in the heart of historic downtown Hattiesburg, MS, perched on a loft level in a beautifully restored building that blends timeless elegance with a touch of modern chic. As you step into our space, you'll be greeted by the warm embrace of history, mixed with contemporary comfort, creating the perfect backdrop for your empowering boudoir experience.
