FAQs

Got questions? Here are some answers to some of our most frequently asked questions!

Where do shoots take place?

My home studio is nestled in the beautiful foothills of Charlottesville, VA. Indoor shoots are available at my home studio.  Virginia is home to some of the most magnificent outdoor beauty and outdoor shoots vary in location. *To see more photos from outdoor shoots, check out the Outdoor category under the Portfolios!

Are you LGBTQ+ Inclusive?

Abso-freaking-lutely. Love has no boundaries. I enjoy photographing all people and relationship combinations. I am lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, transgender, swinger and polyamorous friendly!

What products do you offer?

Most of my clients choose a combination of wall art and a fine art book.

WALL ART

Wall art is a gift for your future self for those rough days that we ALL have. It will be a constant reminder of the confidence you gained during your boudoir experience. Wall art comes in your choice of framed and matted prints or gallery wrapped canvases. If you're feeling hesitant about putting a boudoir photo on your wall for the world to see, ask me about the discrete ways my past clients have some up with to hang their art!

FINE ART BOOKS

The fine art books are an exquisite way to have a collection of your photos. They are handmade from a wonderful, sustainability minded bookmaking company in the Unites States. The cover options range from linens and silks to custom leathers and woods.

*All products I offer are photographic archival material, meaning they'll last 100+ years. These products are an heirloom investment.

What is the experience like?

On the day of your shoot, you don't have to worry about a thing. You don't have to do your hair or makeup. All you have to do is show up and leave the rest to me and my team. You'll have an hour to relax and get used to the space while you're having your hair and makeup done by one of my top quality artists. When she's finished with your hair and makeup, she'll leave us so that we have privacy for your shoot. There's never anyone else present during your shoot unless you decide to do a couple's boudoir shoot or a shoot on the same day as a friend. You'll bring three outfits for your shoot (an "outfit" doesn't have to be clothes, a nude set can count as an outfit). I'll guide you through poses that fit the look you're going for. You don't have to know how to pose on your own! Once we're finished with the shoot portion of your experience, we'll take an hour break while I prepare the photos for you to see. This is a good time for you to grab a bite to eat. When you come back you'll get to choose your photos and products, and place your order.

I recommend allotting at least 4 hours for the whole experience.

What will my investment be?

Your boudoir session will include professional hair and make up styling for one, up to 3 outfit changes, pose coaching & expression directing (from your facial expressions to your toes)! You will also get to see your photos and place you order on the same day as your session. The session cost for boudoir clients is $500. Erotica sessions are $800. Collections start at only $1,500. My average client spends between $3,000-$4,500 on products. If you're interested in a payment plan, let me know when you book your shoot and we can get it started right away so you'll be all set before you even have your session! You can find more info on my pre-payment plan HERE.

What are my payment options?

I accept cash, check and credit cards.

Pay In Full - You can pay the total balance in full on the day of your session. Your photos will be ordered immediately and you'll get them within 2-6 weeks (turnaround time depends on the products ordered).

Pre-Payment Plan - We can set up an automatic monthly payment plan for 3 or 6 months. Once the balance is paid in full your photos will be ordered. If you choose to do a pre-payment plan you’ll get to choose from awesome bonuses such as additional outfits, complimentary digital photos, video and more!

What should I wear?

I send you a awesome little guide that covers wardrobe in detail and I also offer assistance in planning out your outfits before your session. When I say you don't have to worry about anything, I really mean it!

Do you retouch my images?

My goal is to empower women to be comfortable in their own skin and to love who they are, exactly how they are. Societal standards tell you that you're not allowed to have imperfections and my whole purpose is to show you that you're perfect as you are without changing anything.

This means I don't change my client's appearance. I use lighting and posing to bring out your best features, but I do minimal editing with my images. Some clients opt to have their images professionally retouched for an additional fee, but most clients do not.

Your Privacy

Your privacy is very important to me. Photos are not uploaded to the internet (except to secure vendors to order books and prints) unless you sign a model release giving me legal permission to share your photos. All of the women and couples on this website granted me permission to share their photos.
