I got you covered (or uncovered)!
First, if you’re like me, you want to know exactly what to expect from pretty much any new experience. And if that’s the case, then this post is for you! Here are all the details of what to expect from start to finish!
Before you book your session:
Pick your session! There are 3 session options, ranging from 1 hour to 2 hours of photo time
The Selkie
Includes a 1 hour session
Includes 10 high resolution digital images
The Unicorn
Includes a 1.5 hour session
Includes 20 high resolution digital images
The Sphinx
Includes a 2 hour session
Includes 30 high resolution digital images
Pick any add-ons that you’d like, such as a luxury album, beautiful print display boxes, or an add-on that allows you to download all digital images from your session
You can also choose add-ons after your session as well
Booking your session:
Once you decide which session and add-on options you’d like, you can complete the boudoir session agreement online
A 50% deposit is due at the time of signing the boudoir session agreement and the remainder is due 2 weeks before your session date
One you’ve signed the boudoir session agreement and paid the deposit, you can schedule your session!
Preparing for your session:
Once you’ve booked your session, I’ll send you a client prep guide to help you feel prepared and excited for your session!
I’ll also send you a questionnaire to help me better understand what you’re looking for from your session, any physical limitations I should be aware of, and where you are at on your body image journey, so that I can best support you before, during, and after your session
Once you’ve completed your questionnaire, we’ll schedule a phone call to discuss your questionnaire and to collaborate on ideas for your session so it feels uniquely you
Your session:
Before your session begins, we’ll look at any outfits you brought with you, and decide which ones to use
Then we’ll put on some kickass tunes and have a blast!
Your comfort and sense of safety is my number one priority
I will always ask permission before touching you to adjust clothing, hair, etc. or direct you on adjusting those things without my help
If there are any poses that don’t work well for you, let me know and we’ll try something else
My studio is accessible and wheelchair-friendly
The image reveal:
The images from your session will be edited within approximately 2 weeks
Once your images are ready, I’ll contact you to schedule a virtual image reveal session to view your images together
The reason I schedule an image reveal is so that if you have an emotional reaction to seeing yourself in photos, you have a safe space to discuss any feelings that may come up
After your virtual image reveal session, I’ll send you the following via email:
A link to your online gallery of images
A code that will allow you to download the number of high resolution images included in the session you chose (additional high resolution images are available for purchase by item, or you can choose to purchase all digital images from your session if you love them all!)
An image release agreement for you to choose which of the following image release options work best for you:
A full release of images
An anonymous release of images
A partial release of only specific images
No release of images
After the image reveal:
After your image reveal, you’ll have 4 weeks to review your gallery to decide which images you’d like to download, or if you’d like to purchase prints or wall art
Your gallery will expire after 4 weeks, so you’ll want to make sure to download any high-resolution digital images and order any prints, wall art, luxury albums, or print display boxes before the gallery expires
Hopefully this helps give you an idea of what to expect before, during, and after your session, and check out our FAQs here for more helpful info!
