Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir:
Boudoir is perfect for you if you are on a mission to see yourself differently, to talk more kindly to yourself, and to feel more at peace in the skin you are in. Boudoir is for all shapes + sizes, and you don't need to change one thing about yourself to rock this experience.
My studio is located in Cabot, PA which is 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh, PA. I service women from PA, OH and WV.
First of all, it is totally normal to be nervous about your photoshoot. This is a new experience, and I would be a bit worried about you if you had no emotions surrounding this giant leap of faith you are taking. That being said, I have your back! I am an expert in posing your body so that you look and feel your best. While I do use editing software to soften some of the areas that make you self conscious, I also believe that the point of this journey is to call a truce with your body and find ways to love even the areas you wish you could change. So my job is to keep you, you. I promise you will fall in love with your images without a ton of editing.
When you arrive at the studio for your session, hair/makeup will be waiting on you. Camera-ready hair/makeup will make or break your beautiful images, which is why I carefully select my team of professionals.
While is might seem like selecting outfits is an overwhelming experience, I will send you a prep guide upon booking, full of tips and suggestions to choosing the perfect outfits. In the weeks leading up to your shoot, I will be in constant contact with you to make sure you are prepared with options. Outfits (which are not limited to lingerie) can range from an oversized sweater, a bodysuit with your fave robe a simple white blouse--when it comes to sexy, the possibilities are endless. If you have not downloaded my 25 Styling Ideas, make sure you do that right away!
I advise my clients to bring 6 to 8 different looks and we shoot 4. The reason I ask my clients to bring so much is because not everything photographs as well as it looks in person. There are also times when a client changes her mind about an outfit. That’s totally fine because then we have options. As a rule of thumb, I tell my clients it’s better to bring it and not use it versus wishing you had brought it. I do not have the option for a style closet for my clients. I want your outfits to represent your unique style.
No way! While making the decision to go nude (even implied), is a liberating experience, it is in no way required or expected. Remember, this journey is about you--we will work at your comfort level the entire day.

Happy dance: I offer same-day reveal appointments where we view your images approximately 2 hours after your shoot. During this reveal, we will see all your final, edited images and talk about how you plan to display them. Some clients are drawn to heirloom albums, while others love wall art. I will be there to guide you through the selection/ordering process.
That is completely up to you. Boudoir is a very intimate, personal form of photography, and I will honor your wishes as to how you'd like me to use them (if at all).
