The Process
AN OVERVIEW OF A BOUDOIR EXPERIENCE WITH ME
01
Step 1: Consultation
Let’s chat! We’ll hop on a quick call (or video chat if you’d like) so I can hear what this experience means to you. This is your space to share your vision, your “why,” and ask anything on your mind. No pressure, no obligations — just a conversation to see if this feels like the right fit.
02
Step 2: Book & Plan Your Session
When you’re ready, we’ll lock in your date and choose the perfect location for your shoot. You’ll receive my digital prep guide, full of tips for getting ready, wardrobe inspiration, and more! Think of it as your roadmap to feeling confident and prepared every step of the way.
03
Step 3: During Your Session
This is your time. Bring every ounce of nervous energy, excitement, and self-doubt — and then watch yourself completely blow your own mind. We’ll set the vibe with music, I’ll guide you through poses (no modeling experience required!), and yes — there will be laughter.
I know this can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know I’m right there with you: not just as your photographer, but as your biggest hype woman. Stepping out of your comfort zone is powerful, and seeing yourself in a new light is unforgettable. Let go, lean in, and unveil your sexy.
04
Step 4: After Your Session
You did it! Seriously — you should celebrate! I always suggest planning a date night, girls’ night, or even a solo night out after your session, because you’ll look and feel incredible.
Within two weeks, we’ll meet again for your reveal and ordering appointment (this can be done in person or virtually). This is the first time you’ll see your images (cue the happy tears), and it’s when you’ll select your products. I don’t believe in purchase minimums — you only invest in what you truly love.
05
Step 5: Reveal & Ordering
Grab a drink and settle in… it’s time to see your photos for the first time! At your reveal, we’ll go through your images together and explore my luxury product options — from albums to wall art to keepsakes. I’ll help you design the perfect collection that fits your vision.
Collections begin at $1200, and you’ll have the option to pre-pay if you want to save a little and get your goodies sooner. Once your order is placed and paid in full, your custom products will arrive within 2–4 weeks — ready to be admired for a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Below you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions I hear prior to booking a boudoir experience.
If there’s something I haven’t covered, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m always happy to chat, hop on a quick video call, or grab a coffee to make sure you feel completely comfortable before booking your session.
I’m nervous — is that normal?
Absolutely. Almost every woman who steps in front of my camera feels nervous at first — it’s completely normal. You’re doing something vulnerable, brave, and beautiful, and I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.
We’ll laugh, play music, and take things at your pace. Most clients tell me their nerves disappear within minutes, and by the end, they’re wondering why they ever hesitated and don’t want it to end!
Do I need professional hair and makeup?
While it’s not required, I highly recommend it. Professional hair and makeup can completely transform how you feel walking into your session — and it photographs beautifully.
I work with talented artists who specialize in boudoir styling and know exactly how to enhance your natural beauty. If you prefer a more natural look, that’s perfect too — this experience should reflect you. Enjoy some pampering, and have someone take care of everything for you!
Will my photos be shared online?
Your privacy is incredibly important to me. I always appreciate when my clients share their experience with others and let me feature their images (anonymously or fully). Some clients love having their photos featured, and others prefer to keep everything private — both choices are equally respected. You’ll always have full control.
Do I have to get naked?
Nope — this experience is about you, not about how much you wear. You decide what feels right. Some clients love cozy sweaters and sheets; others feel empowered in lingerie or implied nude portraits. We’ll start with more coverage and move only as far as you’re comfortable. The goal isn’t nudity — it’s confidence.
Where will my session take place?
That’s entirely up to you! Most sessions happen in my preferred hotels/studios across Southern California, but you can also choose another hotel, Airbnb, or even your own home if it fits the vibe you want.
The space we do your session brings its own aesthetic and energy — we’ll talk through the options and pick the perfect setting together.
Can I bring someone with me?
You’re welcome to bring one guest (18+) while you’re getting ready, though once the shoot starts, I recommend it’s just us. Having a private, comfortable space helps you relax and be fully present in your experience. (Of course, if you’ve booked a couples session, that’s a different story!)
