COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I book you?

Send me a message via the contact page and I will get back to you within 24hrs Monday - Friday. 


Sounds great but how much?
A basic session with NO hair and makeup OR chosen products starts at $125 with a la carte add ons as an option. From there, collections with products start at $500 and a la carte add ons are always an option. I offer luxury albums, fine art prints, custom designed wall art, digital products and more.


When will I see my images?
Who doesn’t love instant gratification these days? Immediately after your shoot, I'll get to work culling your images and we will have your viewing right away(this only applies for in studio sessions). This saves you the time of coming back at a later date. We will view your gallery and take time to pick your favorite images appropriate for the products in your chosen collection. I am always happy to help guide your selections if you’re feeling indecisive. Teaser edits will be delivered in 1 week, your final edits will be delivered within 2 weeks of your order date.


Can I get my photos ahead of your standard turn around time? 
The starting cost of a rush order is $100 and you can expect your images within 3-5 business days of your order date.


I love my photos! What if I want to add more selections to my Premium Edits? 
No problem! Each additional image is $75 with your collection. If you want to purchase more than a couple lets talk and we can work out a bulk rate. 


Should I get hair and makeup done? 
This is absolutely up to you! Makeup should always be worn heavier than your day-to-day makeup, as it takes more to “show up” in photos. Your engagement photos may be a great time to work with your preferred wedding-day makeup artist for a trial run


Do you offer payment schedules? 
Sure thing, 50% of the total balance is due at booking and is considered your retainer. The remaining balance is due 2 weeks prior to your shoot date.

I am not a model, and nervous in front of the lens. Halp! 
My favorite compliment from clients is always about how comfortable I made them feel during their session. When you combine killer hair and makeup, beautiful light and a flattering pose your magical self will naturally show through. I don’t tolerate any self body negativity talk in my studio, your beautiful babe! If your doubt yourself let me show you… If your ever uncomfortable, LET ME KNOW! We will stop and make a new plan that everyone is okay with. 


Do I have to go nude?
When you book with me I will send you a questionnaire that will help me to understand your level of comfort when it comes to nudity. Most clients choose to go for a partially covered topless look with a fine art feel. I encourage clients to be honest, open and if you want to decide during your session that is okay too. 


What are your location options?
In studio of course, we will decide on my studio or another location as per your request. Outside in nature you ask? I love to shoot outside! I know some badass sites to shoot and I also have a beautiful enclosed courtyard with plenty of privacy to shoot it with loads of beautiful plants and props. 


When do you schedule your boudoir sessions?
I shoot studio boudoir sessions Saturday - Friday starting at 12:00pm. Outdoor boudoir sessions are scheduled according to the time of year and location. Hair and makeup generally takes about an hour or so. 


Do you photograph men or couples?
Hell yes I do! Bring it on! I love shooting men(i like to call them “dudeoir” sessions), we need more of this! I also love shooting couples, these have absolutely been some of may favorite sessions and I know my couples always have a great time. 


Will you use my photos for marketing? 
Only if you give me written permission to do so. I have four levels of releases to choose from: full, partial, faceless or no release at all! I 100% respect your right to privacy. Some sessions never see the light of day, but most women love their images and are willing to sign a faceless release. Whatever you're comfortable with, you can decide after you see your images.


Are there any rules for sharing on social media?
