Boudoir Session

I know that there’s no section on my website about this, but one kind of shoot that has become very popular lately is the Boudoir shoot. Boudoir shoots are basically sexy photo shoots that give you an opportunity to wear different styles of lingerie (or whatever you want). Lots of my brides request these sessions, and the albums that I make is such a great gift for fiancee’s on the wedding day–it always gets a great reaction!

There are often some questions about these sessions so I’m going to answer a few of them here in case anyone is thinking of having this done!

Q: What if I’m not a size 2 with a perfect body?
A: No problem! My job as a photographer is to emphasize the good and minimize the less than perfect. Besides, your fiancee doesn’t expect you to look like a different person, and he thinks you are sexy the way you are!

Q: Where will we shoot?
A: Often, girls get a room at a nice hotel but I have done shootings at my client’s home too.

Q: What should I wear?
A: Its best to bring a wide variety of different outfits but here are some suggestions I always give to my clients :

- Lingerie
- 1 tight pair of jeans and a really tight shirt
- One of your fiancee work shirts
- Your fiancee favorite sports team jersey
- a corset, tights and high heels
- an underwear that has “bride” written on the back OR the year of
your Wedding (they usually have those at Victoria’s Secret)

Q: Do I have to shoot nude?
A: No, of course not! Unless you are in lingerie, I primarily shoot only “implied nude”, where you may not be wearing much but you can’t see anything showing that you might not want shown. You don’t even have to do this if you don’t want to–lingerie is just fine. You can also decide at the shoot what you are comfortable/not comfortable showing.

Q: But….are you going to post photos of me on your blog? I really don’t want anyone to see them!
A: No, of course not without your permission! The girls who I will post in my blog have given me the go-ahead to post those photos up here and I would never post photos of you that you were uncomfortable with.

I charge $250 for a Boudoir Session and that would cover my time up to 1 1/2h and a CD (high resolution) with all the best shots.

I also have discount packages for groups. They are the following :

a minimum of two ladies having their Boudoir session done at the same date/location : $200/each

a minimum of three ladies having their Boudoir session done at the same date/location : $175/each

a minimum of five ladies having their Boudoir session done at the same date/location : $150/each

Here are some samples of one of the Boudoir Session I did yesterday. I will post more later on this week.
