Thinking about booking a boudoir session but have a million questions first? You’re not alone! Whether you’re feeling nervous, curious, or downright excited, it’s totally normal to want to know what to expect. Boudoir is a unique and empowering experience, and it’s important that you feel informed, confident, and completely comfortable before stepping in front of the camera. This post is here to answer all your questions with honesty, clarity, and a whole lot of encouragement. So let’s dive into the top 12 frequently asked questions about boudoir photography.

Top 12 Most Frequently Asked Questions about Boudoir Photography
#1. Do you share my images?
I only share images with your permission. After your session, I may ask if you’d like to sign a model release to allow me to showcase a few images from your session, but this is 100% optional and entirely your choice. No pressure ever!

#2. Do I have to wear lingerie?
Absolutely not! While lingerie is a popular option, many of my clients choose to wear cozy sweaters, bodysuits, robes, dresses, or even go for a sheet-only look. Your session is all about what makes you feel sexy and confident.

#3. Do you have payment plans?
Yes! I offer flexible payment plans to make your dream boudoir session more accessible. You can pre-pay or split your payments in a way that works best for you.
#4. Is hair and makeup included?
Yes! Professional makeup and light hair styling are included with every session. Light hair styling is included on clean, blow-dried hair. My artists specialize in enhancing your natural beauty and creating a look that makes you feel fabulous.

#5. Do you Photoshop my images?
Yes—I lightly retouch every image to enhance your natural beauty. This includes skin smoothing, blemish removal, and color correction. I won’t change your body or make you look like someone you’re not because you are already stunning!

#6. Where should I buy outfits?
I provide a style guide and recommendations for local and online boutiques where you can shop for outfits. I also have a client closet available for you to borrow from during your session!

#7. What type of print products do you have?
I offer luxury albums, folio boxes, wall art, and more. Each piece is handcrafted and designed to last a lifetime. You’ll be able to see and touch all the options during your reveal appointment so you’ll know exactly what you are getting.

#8. Do you offer digitals?
Digital images are included when you begin a pre-payment plan toward your chosen collection. They’ll be delivered with your final products once your payment is complete!
#9. I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?
You are not alone! Almost every woman feels nervous before her session. That’s totally normal. I’ll guide you through every step, from posing to wardrobe, and we’ll have fun along the way. You’ll leave feeling empowered and beautiful!

#10. How many outfits should I bring?
I recommend bringing 3-5 outfits. It’s always better to have a few extra options. I’ll help you choose the best looks during your session.

#11. Should I get to my shoot early?
You can arrive right at your scheduled time. Hair and makeup start when you arrive, so there’s no need to come early unless we’ve planned otherwise.
#12. Where is your studio located?
You’ll receive the full address and details once you’re booked. Rest assured that it’s a private, comfortable space where you’ll feel safe and pampered.
