Hey gorgeous! You've spent too long telling yourself you're not good enough. Be brave with ME!
Boudoir in MY studio is not going to be like your cookie cutter sessions anywhere else. We are going to tailor this to you and your personality.
We are about to ramp it up and capture it in action. So get ready for an entire day of pampering and exploring your inner sensuality. Whatever you want to get out of this, we are about to make it happen.
With my studios in Chico, California and my sessions in the Bay Area several times a year, you'll find it easy to make this your destiny.
I am a wife, a mother, a photographer, an entrepreneur, and an avid book lover.
Boudoir photography is so much more than photographs. It's about self-acceptance, body positivity, and art.
It's about getting glammed up and having fun.
It's about the transformation that takes place between the time you walk into my studio and walk back out that door.
It's about feeling beautiful exactly the way you are. That's something every woman deserves.
My goal in life has always been to blend in to the point of invisibility, don't stand out. It started to be blaringly obvious that that isn't any way to live. And even more of a catalyst for me, I didn't want my daughter to think that was the way women should feel in this world. I made a decision and said fuck it! LETS GO!
I wanted to be a beautiful, confident, badass queen for my daughter, but more importantly to prove that I'd been denying myself all those years to feel that I had to stay small. And what a fucking revelation that was! I want that for you too.
Whether you are at the beginning of this journey in finding yourself or if you've already discovered what an amazing, passionate, beautiful human you are and you're ready to show the world. I am ready to meet you where ever you are. My studio is a safe and fun environment for you to explore all of your beauty. I'll be there to capture it.
Q: What should I wear for my boudoir session?
A: This is one of the most stressful parts of booking. WHAT DO I WEAR?! There are so many options when it comes to lingerie. That's why I make it easy. Every session comes with a private shopping appointment with me. Plus, $150 from your session fee goes towards this. You'll schedule your appointment and then receive a questionnaire from me to get your style preferences. Then I curate a collection just for you. This way your outfits are checked off the list well before your session day.
Q: How long should I plan to be there during my session?
A: You’ll start your day in hair and makeup. That usually takes about an hour and a half. Then, we go into the session itself which is another hour to hour and a half. I usually suggest you plan to schedule 4 hours from start to finish for the day of your session.
Q: I have no idea what I’m doing in front of the camera, is that a problem?
A: NOT AT ALL! You don’t have to know a damn thing coming into this. I will tell you and show you every step of the way. You’ll be directed from the tips of your toes to the top of your head. I understand have nerve wracking it can be in front of the camera and never expect anyone to know how to pose. Boudoir is especially specific because the slightest chin movement can make all the difference in a photo. All I ask is that you trust me when I tell you “more ARCH!!”
Q: Do I have to get naked?
A: Absolutely not! Boudoir is what we make it and I can make you look sexy in jeans and a shirt. But part of boudoir is to push a little outside of your comfort zone. I always ask what you are planning to wear and what the expectation is. Usually we’ll start more modest and move into the steamier stuff later. Sometimes you may not feel comfortable going nude at first, but once we’re comfortable you may change your mind. I will never push you one way or the other. My job is to make you feel comfortable and take sexy photos for YOU!
Q: Are my photos going to be shared?
A: No, not if you don’t want them to be. 60% of the sessions I shoot are not shared with anyone but the client. I will not share anything unless you give me signed permission to do so. That being said, when I do my Boudie calls (modified model call) I wave the session fee in exchange for a signed model release so those images are shared at my discretion.
Q: How long does it take to see my photos after my session?
A: I get right to work after our session to have your photos ready for you to view as soon as possible. At the end of our session together we’ll schedule your reveal (where you come back to the studio to view all your gorgeous images) for 3-5 days out.
Q: How long does it take to get my products?
A: I use only high-quality professional printing labs for your products so it can take some time to get your products in once ordered. It takes about 5 weeks from ordering to get them to you. I recommend booking your session 6-8 weeks before any special event if you need products by a certain date.
Q: How do I pay for my products?
A: You can pay with cash, credit card or Affirm. Full payment is due at the time of the reveal for any products purchased, unless using one of our third party options. I highly recommend to all my clients that they take advantage of a pre-payment plan. After we schedule your session date, you’ll receive a complete pricing list. You have the option to setup a pre-payment plan that works best for your budget leading up to your session. That takes the stress out of paying one lump sum and you’ll be able to focus solely on your GORGEOUS self during your session.
