"When should I book my boudoir session?"

Outside of the rest of the questions that you have about booking a boudoir session, the question of "WHEN?" should absolutely be at the top of your list. With 2020 finally coming to and end (PRAISE BE) it’s time to start thinking about ending this year on a high note. Enter: booking a boudoir session for yourself!

Picking a date and time is definitely step one because we're going to need to figure out when you should show up (duh!). It'll also give you a good idea of how long you have to freak-out before stepping foot into the studio ;) 

Unfortunately, all too often we have to turn clients away because we are fully booked. I absolutely love when clients are so eager to have us photograph their session, but I hate having to disappoint when we can't accommodate a deadline. 

The answer to the big question?

You should book your boudoir session at LEAST 2-4 months in advance, especially for holiday deadlines (our busiest time of the year!). Booking your boudoir session in advance gives us ample time to plan out the personal aspect of your session. Poses, wardrobe, music choices, etc. are all planned separately in the months leading up to your session. 

Hoping for a miracle that we'll be able to squeeze you in? Please always ask, but just between you and me these aren't the kind of squeezes you'd typically enjoy.

As for our remaining 2020 dates, we have 7 days left for a session in Atlanta, and 2 days left for a session in Los Angeles before our November 15th deadline for holiday gifts.

We can't wait to meet you!!!

We have recently started a new service that is designed to make sure our clients have the BEST wardrobe options for your boudoir session. I’m not sure why it took us so long to come up with this idea, but hey- better late than never? This new service: Virtual Wardrobe appointments!

Shopping for your everyday clothes can be a little but of a headache, so when you throw in lingerie/fishnets/tassels/body-chains/etc… I’m imagining a full-on migraine. This is where I come in and save the day.

Since I’ve been photographing boudoir sessions for 10+ years I know a thing or seven about what type of lingerie looks best in photos. I know which shoes to wear, which stores have the best return policy, and how to judge the sizing on those ever-so-confusing sizing charts. This is knowledge that I keep in my pocket so that you don’t have to figure it all out.

Each client of OWN boudoir now has the opportunity to book a Virtual Wardrobe appointment with us! We’ll have this appointment a few weeks (or more, if you’d like!) before your boudoir session so that you have plenty of time to shop.

The way this Virtual Wardrobe appointment happens is once a client books the appointment a '‘preference’ questionnaire is sent out. In this questionnaire clients are able to tell me about their boudoir wardrobe preferences like: style, budget, sizing, preferred colors, items you DEF do not want to use, etc. I’ll use this information to select a compilation of items that I think you’ll really love and that would look great on you for your boudoir session! When we meet together (virtually) I’ll share the items that I picked out for you and explain why I think that they’d work really well. Don’t worry, you don’t have to turn your camera on during these meetings… but I’ll have mine on so that you can see the person that will be photographing you!

Here’s a screenshot of what it will look like during our meeting!

At the end of our meeting I’ll send over a list of the items that are marked as ‘favorites’ so that the shopping can begin! We partner with a few local lingerie stores here in Atlanta, too, and I’ll always try to find pieces from those stores so that you can take advantage of their discount codes for OWN boudoir clients!

These Virtual Wardrobe appointments are taking out a HUGE anxiety factor with your boudoir session. You won’t ever have to worry whether or not your wardrobe is going to look great on camera or if you have the ‘right’ stuff for your boudoir session.

I’m really loving the appointments we’ve had so far, and they are just one more way for us to set you up for having the absolute best boudoir session ever (with photos to prove it).
