F.A.Q
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I bring / wear?
A casual look, loose plain T-Shirt with a set of plain briefs, I recommend you bring a robe. Matching set of Bra and Panties. (the more the better) and a bodysuit as they are flattering on every shape and help to cover the areas you may feel self-conscious about. Accessories such as jewellery can make great accents and detail shots.
How Should I Prepare?
Prepare how you would for any special occasion, not forgetting the small details such as nails. Don't wear tight fitting clothing prior to your shoot as they can leave marks on your skin. Make sure you are well rested get a good nights sleep and are well hydrated. Prepare all your clothing and items you are going to bring along the night before,
I don't recommend any fake tanning immediately before your session. Typically a week or two prior is fine to avoid any uneven tan lines that could hinder the quality of your images or incur additional fees for editing.
What about Hair and Make-up?
Your boudoir photography experience begins with our professional hair and make-up artist. All our sessions include hair and make-up, our professional hair and make-up team will ensure that every hair is in place and every blemish is covered. I recommend that you wash your hair the night before and don't have any products in your hair on the day of your session.
Don't wear any make up on the day of your session, wash your face with warm water and soap prior attending your session, our hair make-up professionals will look after you.
You are welcome to do your own hair and make-up or get it done by your own preferred stylist if you wish.
What does my session include?
All our boudoir sessions include a consultation prior to your session, we go over any questions you have, what to expect on the day, this will better help you prepare and calm any nerves on your shoot day. Hair and make-up by our professional stylist will look after you. A 2 hour photoshoot session, includes multiple outfit changes, we begin the session with a casual look and then proceed into the dark and moodier shots. All sessions come with a number of final digital images and additional images can be purchased afterwards.
Do I have to be nude?
No. Everyone has their own personal preference, this is something we will discuss prior to your session. Implied nude is typically what most women are comfortable with. Remember, It's your session, it can be as wild or tame as you like.
How long until I get my images
Depending on your session, proof images are sent to you via Dropbox within a week, Select the images you like, the chosen images then get edited and sent back to you, expect 2 weeks for Digital images, If you have chosen an album, then turn around is usually 3-4 weeks.
I don't know how to pose?
it's ok, you will be directed how to pose through out your session. I will have a plan for each shoot which includes poses, we review this in our consutlation.
Will my images be public?
I will not make any images public from your session without your permission. However I do appreciate if you allow me to show off a few.
Where do you shoot and will there be other people at my shoot?
There are 2 different studios I shoot from, depending on the look and style of the shoot you are after will depend on which studio the shoot will take place.
Your shoot is private, once the hair and make-up artist leaves, it will be you and I. You are welcome to bring a friend or partner along with you.
How far in advance should I book if I want to give the images as a gift?
I recommend doing your photo shoot min 6 weeks before you plan to give the images as a gift, 8 weeks if you are ordering a photo album.
