::What is Boudoir Photography?
Boudoir photography allows you to live out your dreams; its a chance to become that pin-up-girl! Boudoir means bedroom in French. It's intimate, flirty, sensual and romantic portraiture. The photos are tasteful images that hint at sexiness. Every person has their own idea of what sexy is as well as what they are comfortable with. These sessions are cute, fun, sexy, flirty and even a bit sensual all the while maintaining your comfort level. They are often done as gifts for a groom before or after the wedding, or as an anniversary, valentines day or birthday present for the one you love.
::What if I'm very shy or worried about my body shape?
People come in all different shapes and sizes, tall, short, large and small. There is nothing anywhere to say that one is better than the other. Having confidence and believing in yourself is what makes fantastic pictures. At our studio you are always a perfect 10!
The boudoir sessions are all about having fun, getting glammed up, dressed up and letting your hair down and forgetting about little insecurities. Treating yourself to new lingerie and beauty treatments before the session is a definite excitement and confidence builder! We want to celebrate who you are right now!
::What should I expect for my session?
Expect to have fun! You'll have a bit of time to get comfortable, have a bottle of iced water, get some idea of what you are looking for with your photos, look at your wardrobe, & get a general plan for your shoot. We don't expect ladies to immediately jump into an outfit when they walk in the door.
Shelly is a fun, fab, female photographer who seriously loves what she does, and it shows in her attitude working with clients.
We are dedicated to making every client look her best in a safe, comfortable, & fun atmosphere! Most of our clients are a bit nervous when first thinking about boudoir photography, but as your session goes on, you'll relax, have fun, and really create beautiful images.
::What type of clothes should I bring?
Bring at least two outfits that you feel good in. Bring lingerie, an evening gown, leather jacket or fur coat. Bring fun or sexy hats, gloves, scarves, shoes, boots, stockings, and accessories. Download the PDF file at the bottom of this page to get the vital tips & info on what to bring!
How should I wear my hair and makeup to the session?
Treat yourself! We recommend having your hair done at your favourite salon!
If you are having Shelly be your makeup stylist, come with your hair all done and a clean face. Get plenty of sleep the night before your shoot!
::What if I don't want everyone seeing these photos? Will they be posted online?
Absolutely not. Boudoir photo sessions are only proofed by projection here in the studio and are never posted online for proofing. Also, images will never be used for our portfolio (web or print) unless your specific permission is given. All clients featured in the web gallery have given written permission that their images can be posted.
::How much does a Boudoir Session cost?
Basic Boudoir sessions are normally $99, and that is your time being photographed. However, we are always offering different specials on our Facebook page (Anywhere from 25% – 50% off) so please check it out for our latest deal! Makeup is done by Shelly and that is $25, which we always suggest having done. It is an important part of the pampering experience, and we don't want you to miss out! Shelly has been doing makeup for over 20 years, and certainly knows what looks sizzlin' on the camera!
