THE EXPERIENCE

SOS. I'm not a model. how will i know what to do or how to pose?

I got you! It’s my job to make you look and feel your best and show you how beautiful you already are. I totally understand how it feels to look in the mirror and critique every little thing we see - I’ve been there. But I also know how to pose and photograph you so you look like you belong on the cover of Vogue (seriously). I’ve photographed hundreds of women, and have never had a client NOT love their photos. Your only job is to show up, and my team and I will take care of the rest.  I can’t wait to show you how amazing you will look and feel!

HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT TO WEAR OR BRING?

Don’t know where to begin? No worries! That’s what I’m here for. Most of my clients haven’t had a boudoir photoshoot before, so I'm an expert at helping you from start to finish. I’ll be right by your side throughout the entire experience, including a planning meeting, my 20-page prep guide, and being personally available to help plan. I even have a studio wardrobe you can use!

how much should i budget for this?

Choose from two different all-inclusive experience options that include prints, starting at $3,290. Add-ons are available for additional photos, wall art, gift prints, and more. Most clients invest between $3,290 to $6,890 in total.

HOW DO I CHOOSE WHAT TO BUY?

Before our photoshoot, we will chat about how we can show off your portraits (because they soooo deserve to be showed off!). You will be able to see and touch everything that I offer – and even smell those gorgeous Italian leather albums. Directly after your session (no waiting needed!0, we will look at all of your photos together, choose the prints included in your experience selection, and add any additional prints or upgrades if you wish. I'll send them off to retouching and printing from there!

DO I HAVE TO PAY IN FULL?

Nope! Only a $500 non-refundable retainer is due to secure your date. The remainder of your experience choice can be paid any time before your photoshoot day.

will you share my photos online?

Not without your permission! I completely understand that boudoir photos can be very private, so you will be able to decide exactly what you would like shared and what you would like to keep just for yourself. You can share nothing at all, show off all your stunning photos, or just a few. You have complete control. Your privacy and comfort is extremely important to me.

I need my photos by a certain date. how far in advance should i book?

I recommend booking your boudoir photoshoot for AT LEAST 10 weeks before you need your finished prints to account for editing time, printing time, delivery, quality control, and pick up. Please note that our studio typically sells out many months in advance, so it is never too early to inquire!

can i BRING MY SPOUSE/PET/KID/FRIEND?

I specialize in individual empowerment sessions for women and folks wanting to express their femininity, and only offer photoshoots with one subject (you!). You are always welcome to bring a friend or your partner to the hair and makeup portion of your photoshoot day if you would feel more comfortable, but please leave any animals and children under 18 at home.

I HEARD YOU HAVE A STUDIO CAT! IS THAT TRUE?

Yes! The studio is located in a live/work loft, and Theo (the very friendly studio cat) can make an appearance if you would like to say hello. If you are allergic or not a cat fan, he can hang upstairs and we can make sure to deep clean before + have the air filters on full blast to reduce dander.

WHEN AND WHERE DO PHOTOSHOOTS TAKE PLACE?

We offer Tuesday and Thursday dates at the downtown San Diego studio. We start with hair and makeup styling at the studio at 10:00 am, and start your photoshoot around 12:00 pm. We will have your reveal and order selection directly after your photoshoot, and typically we wrap up for the day by 4:00 pm. It's definitely a full day experience, so I do highly recommend not booking anything else for that day so you can have the best, most stress-free experience possible!
