How Pricing Works

Every session begins with a booking fee of $295. It reserves your date, covers your consultation and professional hair and makeup, and is applied in full toward whichever collection you choose. The full amount comes off your total.

Collections are all-inclusive. The price you see is the price you pay: studio time, hair and makeup, direction throughout, retouching, and your images. Nothing is held back to be sold to you later.

Payment plans are available through Affirm and Klarna. If you're wondering what the experience actually feels like, here's what to expect.

What's Included in Every Session

Every Sleepless Boudoir session includes professional hair and makeup, guided direction throughout the shoot, and a private, respectful environment. You don't need to arrive camera-ready or know how to pose. That's what the session is for. Direction is provided throughout, with clear guidance on posing, expression, and movement so you can relax and focus on the experience. Your privacy is protected at every step, from booking through delivery.

Digital images are always included, along with full personal printing rights. This means you can print your images however and wherever you choose, with no additional licensing fees or restrictions. The images are yours to keep, share, and use as you see fit.

Printed artwork, albums, and wall pieces are available after viewing your gallery, but never required. Prices for those are published below, so nothing about the cost is a surprise after the fact. There is no obligation to purchase anything beyond the session itself, and no sales pressure during or after the experience.

Sessions are offered in three collections. Each is all-inclusive, and each is built around the same unhurried, guided approach.

The Study

$795

Up to 2 looks
90-minute session
15 retouched digital images
Professional hair and makeup

This collection is designed for clients who want a focused, unhurried session without an extended time commitment. It's ideal for first-time boudoir or intimate portrait clients, though it works just as well for those who already know what they're looking for. It stands on its own as a complete experience, and many clients are fully satisfied with what they create here.

The Signature

Most Chosen

$1,195

3 to 4 looks
2.5-hour session
30 retouched digital images
8×8 fine-art album
Professional hair and makeup

The Signature is the collection most clients choose, and it represents the full Sleepless Boudoir experience. There is ample time to settle in, explore multiple looks, and create a well-rounded gallery. Clients who choose it appreciate having room to experiment while still feeling supported and guided throughout. It's especially well-suited to those who want a fuller range of images to choose from, or who are creating the session as a gift.

The Collection

$1,695

Unlimited looks
Extended session
All retouched images
10×10 heirloom album
One framed 11×14 print
Professional hair and makeup

The Collection is the fullest version of the experience, with time to work without watching the clock and every retouched image included. It suits couples, maternity sessions, milestone moments, and creative concepts that benefit from additional time or planning.

Bridal & Pre-Wedding Sessions

From $1,195

Bridal sessions are best booked two to three months before the gift date, which leaves room for the session, retouching, and album production without rushing any of it.

Bridal boudoir and pre-wedding portrait sessions are approached with the same calm, guided experience as any other session at Sleepless Boudoir. These are private, intimate sessions designed for brides who want personal images created in a comfortable, unhurried environment before their wedding day.

Whether the goal is a gift for a partner, a personal keepsake, or simply a moment of quiet focus before a busy season, the session is shaped around what feels meaningful to you. Timing considerations are discussed openly, and scheduling is flexible to accommodate wedding timelines. Hair and makeup are included, and the entire experience is guided from start to finish.

Bridal sessions are handled as custom work. If you're interested, the best place to start is a conversation to discuss your vision, timing, and what would feel right for you.

Weddings & Custom Work

Some projects fall outside the three collections: multiple locations, unusual timelines, or a creative concept that needs its own plan. These are quoted individually after a conversation.

Select wedding-related work, including intimate bridal photography and wedding day portraits, is also available on a limited basis. Wedding coverage is handled as custom work, with pricing and scope discussed based on your specific needs, timeline, and requirements. Only some weddings are a fit, and that is intentional. The focus remains on creating something personal and meaningful.

Details for any custom session are discussed during the consultation to ensure the experience feels aligned with what you're looking to create. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, documenting a pregnancy, planning a wedding, or envisioning something entirely unique, the session is shaped around your specific needs.

Prints, Albums & Artwork

Printed artwork is available after your gallery is delivered, so you choose only what genuinely resonates once you have seen your images. Everything here is optional, and many clients keep things digital. The prices are published so there are no surprises later.

8×8 fine-art album, 20 spreads: $650
10×10 heirloom album, 30 spreads: $950
Duplicate album copy: $350
Folio box, 10 matted prints: $850
Framed print, 11×14: $325
Framed print, 16×20: $475
Wall piece, 20×30: $695
Upgrade to full digital collection: $600

Some clients order right away, others wait months or even years. The images remain yours either way.

A Note on Scheduling

Weekday sessions are easier to schedule and occasionally open up at short notice. If timing is flexible, mention it when you reach out. Clients traveling from outside Austin or Central Texas are welcome, and scheduling can be adjusted to accommodate.

If you have specific questions, budget considerations, or scheduling constraints, the best place to start is a conversation. Pricing is meant to be transparent and approachable, so it is easy to start the conversation.
