Boudoir Session FAQs
Answers to common questions about the experience.
Questions are expected, especially if this is your first time considering a boudoir session. Below are answers to the most common questions clients ask before booking.
I have never done a boudoir session. Is that normal?
Yes. Most clients who reach out are booking their first session. There is no experience required, and no expectation that you arrive knowing what to do. Sessions are fully guided, and pacing is adjusted based on your comfort level.
Do I need to know how to pose?
No. Direction is provided throughout the session. You will be guided on posing, movement, and expression. Adjustments are made gently and explained clearly. The goal is to help you feel natural and comfortable, not to expect performance.
What should I wear or bring?
Bring a few outfit options that make you feel good. Lingerie, bodysuits, oversized shirts, or even simple basics can all work well. There is no required style. If you are unsure, this can be discussed before your session.
How intimate does the session have to be?
That is entirely your choice. Sessions can range from fully clothed portraits to more revealing imagery. Comfort level is discussed beforehand and can be adjusted during the session. Nothing is assumed, and nothing is required.
Is hair and makeup included?
Yes. Professional hair and makeup is included with every session. Styling is natural and camera-ready, tailored to your preferences. You do not need to arrive prepared or styled in any particular way.
Who will be present during the session?
Only the photographer and the hair and makeup artist are present. Sessions are private, with one client at a time. There is no audience and no observers.
Where is the studio located?
The studio is located in Austin, Texas. The exact address is shared after booking to maintain privacy for all clients. On-location sessions are also available for those who prefer a different setting.
How long does a session last?
Sessions typically last two to three hours, including hair and makeup, wardrobe changes, and photography. The pace is unhurried, and there is no pressure to move quickly.
How and when will I receive my images?
Images are delivered through a private online gallery within two to three weeks. Digital files are included with every session, along with full personal printing rights. Prints and albums are available but never required.
Do I have to share my photos publicly?
No. Your images are yours. They are never shared, posted, or used for any purpose without your explicit written permission. Privacy is respected at every step of the process.
What if I feel nervous or awkward?
That is expected. Most clients feel some level of nervousness before their session. The experience is designed with that in mind. Pacing is calm, direction is clear, and breaks are always available. By the end of the session, most clients feel noticeably more comfortable than when they arrived.
