Do you have questions about what to actually expect at your boudoir session?

Besides showing up with a suitcase of little lacy things and leaving with a full face of makeup, there are some extra details that are helpful to know about the actual boudoir photoshoot itself. Each boudoir studio operates a little bit differently, so these details may change depending on which photographer you’re using! Remember to book the experience with the photographer and process that makes you the most comfortable!

Here are a few of our FAQs! To read our full list of boudoir session FAQs click HERE.

Who will be at my session?

Your boudoir session will be a closed event. You and your photographer will be the only people at your session. Should you opt-in for our hair and makeup option then your hair and makeup artist will be there for a few images to make sure that everything looks great on camera!

Where do we even HAVE the session? My house is less than ideal, plus I’d have to make up an excuse to get the kids out of the house.

We totally understand, plus who has the time to clean your house these days? Most sessions take place in our studio in West Midtown Atlanta, but we HAVE photographed in homes, AirBnbs, hotels, and event halls! If we are shooting on-location (not at our studio) we require that we see pictures of the space in order to vet it. I want to make sure I’m not being led into an Indiana Jones-type of lair. I’ve listened to too many crime podcasts to not need to see photos of where I’m going.

How long does a session last?

Our boudoir sessions last anywhere from 2-6 hours depending on which session you choose. I know that’s a big range, but we like options!! While we know you’d love to spend all weekend with us drinking champagne and getting amazing photos, it just isn’t feasible and eventually the champagne runs out anyway.

Can I bring a friend or my significant other?

Unless you are booking a couple’s session we ask that you do not bring any friends or significant others to your session. Our ability to laser focus on capturing gorgeous images of you will be interrupted and definitely lacking. We will spend brain power trying to make sure everyone is comfortable, has enough snacks, isn’t too bored, likes the music, knows where the bathroom is, loves our jokes, doesn’t feel ignored… it’s a whole thing. Let’s just keep it the two of us!

**The exception to that rule is that you can have someone around for hair and makeup, but after that they will need to quietly exit and let us have all of the fun. We have plenty of fun activities for them to do around the studio!

Boudoir photoshoots are already intimidating to think about, but listen, you first have to BOOK your boudoir session in order to think about planning it. I’m here to help you with that first hurdle… BOOKING. This post should tell you everything you need to know about the process of booking your boudoir shoot!

The first step of booking your boudoir session is to find your boudoir photographer! Here in Atlanta there are some AMAZING and incredible photographers. If you love us but find that we don’t really check all of your boxes then we can act like a great second-date and introduce you to our friends that you might like better. No hard feelings; let’s all come out of this better than ever!

1. The second step of booking your boudoir session (if you’re booking with us, I cannot speak for any of our above friends) is to choose the session you’d like! We have our full session pricing list right here. Our pricing sheet is set up like a Chipotle menu, but the results are way sexier and involves less beans. If you have any questions or need clarity then don’t hesitate to ask questions before moving to the third step!

2. The third step to booking your boudoir photoshoot is to select your date and time! Once you’ve decided on the boudoir session that best works for you use our online booking calendar to select your date. From there you’ll be asked to add any additional items to your session, but please know that our options are limited. If you’d like for us to find a peacock for a series of images then I’m afraid you’ll be on your own… though I’ll gladly photograph the peacock.

3. The fourth (and final!) step in booking your boudoir session is to pay your deposit! Our sessions require a deposit of 25% of your session fee. Payments are all made online using credit/debit cards, but you can pay your last payments in cash if you choose. So many of our clients are hiding payments and so we get it!

And there you have it! It’s a simple four-step process that takes all of about 4minutes if you know what you’re looking for (maybe 8 minutes if you’re coming into it completely blind). Once your session is booked we will welcome you into our arms with love and FUN mail. Each client gets a welcome box from us that is full of pampering goodies, boudoir session info, and some discount cards for local lingerie shops. We want to make sure you’re well taken care of and we want to make sure you have fun from the start. You’ll get entirely too many emails from us about directions to the studio, what kind of snacks you want at your session and what to wear for your boudoir session. These can be ignored, but we definitely prefer you look at them at least once :)

We cannot wait to have you!!!
