Booking a boudoir session is an exciting step — and it’s normal to have questions. What should I wear? What if I’m not a model? How long does it take to receive my images? Will anyone see my photos?
I’ve photographed hundreds of women at my private San Diego studio, guiding each one to feel confident, empowered, and radiant. For every concern you have, there’s a 99% chance that it is something we’ve handled before. My goal is to make your session effortless, enjoyable, and completely tailored to you. Here’s a detailed guide to what you can expect before, during, and after your boudoir experience.
Before Your Session: Planning, Prep, and Support
Preparation is key for an empowering boudoir experience. From the moment you book, my team and I provide everything you need to feel confident and excited.
Do I need to be a model?
Not at all! You do not need to be a model to look and feel amazing. All the gorgeous clients you see on my website are everyday women, not professional models (although I agree they could be models!)
My full time job and lifelong passion is literally to help you look and feel your best, even if you don’t feel 100% confident yet. I’ve photographed hundreds of women, am an expert at posing and lighting, and will be here to help guide you from head to toe. We will have a full day together in my private San Diego boudoir studio to create photos of yourself that you absolutely love. Professional hair and makeup artistry from a member of my amazing glam squad is also included. You will leave the studio looking and feeling incredible.
How will I know what to wear or bring?
I’ll be by your side throughout the entire experience, including a planning and styling meeting, prep guide, packing list, and being ready on speed dial for any questions. All you have to do is tell me what you like and my team and I will take it from there. Plus, I have a studio wardrobe we can use as well.
You don’t have to worry about picking everything yourself — just share what you like, and I’ll take care of the rest. Together, we’ll create a session that’s perfectly you.
How much should I budget?
Most clients choose to spend anywhere from $1,750 to $5,290 or more on their final artwork, though there’s no required minimum. Every order is fully customizable to fit your budget and your vision. My goal is to create a collection that you love and that fits your lifestyle.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I offer in-house, interest-free pre-payment plans toward any collection or product. This makes it easy to plan and save without stress leading up to your session.
When should I book if I need my photos by a certain date?
I recommend booking at least 8 weeks in advance to allow for editing, design, customizations, and delivery. I’m here to help you choose a date that works best for your timeline, so your artwork is ready exactly when you need it.
During Your Session: Guidance, Comfort, and Empowerment
Your day at my San Diego studio is fully about you. From start to finish, my goal is to make you feel supported, confident, and celebrated.
- Professional hair and makeup: Relax, be pampered, and feel flawless and radiant before your photoshoot begins.
- Guided posing: You’ll never have to guess what to do. I guide every angle, pose, and expression so you look amazing and feel confident.
- Private, supportive environment: The studio is your space — safe, comfortable, and designed to help you relax and embrace the experience.
- Fun, empowering energy: Boudoir is a mix of empowerment, fun, and self-expression. You’ll leave feeling radiant, confident, and proud of yourself.
Even if you feel nervous at first, that’s normal. Most clients leave amazed at how natural and fun the experience becomes once the music turns up and you see the supermodel within.
After Your Session: Viewing, Selecting, and Enjoying Your Images
What happens after the session?
Directly after your photoshoot ends, we will sit down together to view all of your gorgeous images, select your favorites, and design your custom album or artwork. From wall prints to albums or digital collections, everything is fully customizable to fit your vision and your space. My goal is to give you images that make you feel empowered, confident, and radiant every time you see them.
How do you edit my images?
Your images will then be edited by hand by me, ensuring that every detail is perfect while maintaining your authentic beauty. I will also design your artwork, album layout, mock up any debossing options for your album cover, and can even send mockups of your custom wall art on your wall to make sure everything is absolutely perfect for you.
Will my photos be shared online?
Only with your permission. You are in complete control of what gets shared. You can choose to share nothing, a few select images, or your full gallery. Your privacy and comfort are my top priority.
Why Boudoir is More Than Just Photos
Boudoir photography isn’t just about creating beautiful images: it’s about reclaiming confidence, celebrating your body, and reconnecting with yourself. My mission is for every client, regardless of age, body type, or experience, to walk away feeling empowered, radiant, and proud.
