What to Expect-
We believe that Boudoir is about empowerment, encouragement, elevation, and elevation of your own self image.
That’s why the entire experience is catered to you—from the first phone call. Your experience doesn’t end with just your session. Every need and request will be met with our utmost desire to assist and provide for you. This is what we do, and you are why we do it.
From the First Call—
Whether you reach out by email, phone, or message on one of our Social Media accounts, we will coordinate with you over a short planning call, FaceTime, or an in-person meet. We want you to be comfortable from the start and feel this is a critical first step. We will cover your session, your preparation, wardrobe and comfort levels. We will also discuss what images are “must-haves”, any themes you would like to try, and any other add-ons to your experience.
Before Your Session—
We’ll follow up with you about a week prior to your session to reconfirm your date and time, any arrangements made, and to ask about any last minute requests. We’ll also provide reminders about any preparations you should make to keep any details from preventing the fullest experience we can provide.
Arrival—
If you choose, as an add-on, hair and makeup can be arranged beforehand to reduce your “day of” stress and let you focus on just having fun.
During Your Session—
Expect full, gentle direction—how to pose, breathe, and place your hands—so you never have to “know what to do.” Sessions run 60–150 minutes depending on the package (e.g., The Whisper, The Touch, The Embrace, All The Way). We can incorporate your outfit choices, implied options where requested, and selections from the Prop Chest to match your comfort and concept.
Privacy and Comfort—
The last thing that we want for you is to feel any anxiety about what should be an extremely intimate experience. That’s why before we begin, we will review boundaries that we have discussed during our initial meet and on any follow up communications. This will include angles to avoid, body features to focus on and to minimize, what type of material you want to or don’t want to produce, levels of dress/undress.
We also want to stress that we do not use any images for any purpose without direct written permission from you. We emphasize privacy, safety and consent from all parties involved. This is not a light matter. Once your session is complete and your prints are available, we may ask your permission to showcase them. You will always have the authority to grant usage and more importantly, to revoke the use of any images at a later date.
Aftercare—
Once your proofs are ready, you will have the opportunity to browse the artwork and select your images for use in any products included in your package. You will also have the opportunity to select additional prints or products for purchase a la carte. Your images will be available for add-on purchases for a period of 90 days after your proof selection, in case you wish to order more at a later date.
Booking and Rescheduling—
You will have the opportunity to schedule your session at our initial meeting, but you do not have an obligation to schedule the same day. If you have more questions or any concerns, take your time, consider your options, and contact us again. PLEASE, however, consider that we have a limited amount of time slots and they don’t remain open for long. Expect to book your session about a month out, and longer if you need the time. We will continue to follow up with you.
We also realize that this is an investment, and you may need the time to budget. You will be required to make a 50% nonrefundable deposit on booking, so we don’t expect you to take this decision lightly.
For that reason, also, if you need to reschedule, we can accommodate scheduling changes up to seven days prior to your shoot with no penalty. Rescheduling within those seven days, however, may incur a rebooking fee of up to $150. Please email or call, and we will work with you to make sure you get the best possible results.
