Ready to schedule a boudoir session but not quite feeling your current body? Totally normal, love! Let me reassure you that almost all my clients have been exactly where you are now.
For as long as I can remember, I've witnessed women (mostly) being objectified and body-shamed. It's disheartening, and I am a firm believer that all humans are beautiful. Each of us has a god or goddess inside that may sometimes be lost or never found. My goal is to help everyone discover their best self, their inner god or goddess.
"I need to lose 30 pounds first" or "I need to lose this baby weight" are phrases I hear all too often. Your body right now, at this very moment, is a boudoir body. You are absolutely perfect just the way you are. Seriously, you really are! If society has made you believe otherwise, it's time you tell it to kiss your ass!
Before your boudoir session, you'll receive a questionnaire and a couple of prep guides covering common questions, details and tips for the big day. I'll share my favorite links for where to shop and what to wear, along with some basic questions to help me get to know you better. It's packed with the best information to fully prepare for an experience you're sure to love. And, of course, you can always reach out to me directly if you need more assistance!
On the day of your boudoir session, a fabulous hair and makeup artist(s) will pamper you (sorry, you can't take them home with you). They'll enhance your natural beauty while you relax. After you're all done, we'll go over your outfits to decide which ones are most flattering (I also have a large client closet for you to borrow from). We'll discuss any inspirational poses you have in mind, but I'll be here to direct and pose you to flatter your body. So, no stress! (I'll even coach you on facial expressions!) Disclaimer: Posing is a tough workout, so you (and I) might be sore the next day.
When I start photographing you, it's okay to be nervous! All my clients feel that way at first, but after a few sneak peeks at the back of my camera and some silliness from me, you'll be laughing and having so much fun—I promise!
After the boudoir session, I'll send you out for a quick bite to eat while I edit the images. Once I'm finished, I'll invite you to the reveal of your private gallery. This is when you start choosing your favorites (which will most likely be all of them!). During this time, we'll sit down together and go over your images, detailed pricing, and what products make the most sense for you. You have a lot of different options, and I even offer pre-session payment plans to ensure you get exactly what you want! Let's capture your beauty and make this experience unforgettable! 📸💖
"Hope makes you feel comfortable, walks you thru posing and will be your biggest cheerleader thru the whole experience. I wouldn't hesitate to do another session and already want to schedule again! Thank you Hope for helping me to find beauty in the skin I'm in!"

"Things I have always heard about myself and I thought because someone thought they were true meant they were. Hope showed me that they are wrong! ...she made me feel confident and safe! She didn't push me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. And these pictures!!!!! ...I feel so sexy! So empowered! So confident! So strong!"

Yes! professional hair and makeup is included in the Session Fee! You’ll arrive to the Studio with a clean, moisturized face and clean, dry hair. We have everything we will need here in the Studio, including a lifetime supply of eyelashes! Haha.
I recommend having 3-5 outfits for your shoot, but that can be any combination of outfits you bring or options I already have available in the Studio client closet.
Nope! it's COMPLETELY optional!
a PRE-session payment plan is available to you! we set up a CUSTOMIZED payment plan leading up to your shoot based on which Collection you think you may be interested in purchasing.
a little bit of Photoshop, typically some skin smoothing or bags under the eyes. Nothing too crazy, but a little bit goes a long way!
Albums, metal prints, Diamond blocks, digitals & so much more!
I have all the samples of our products in the Studio! So when you come in for your session you’ll be able to see and touch everything.
I always demonstrate every single pose for my clients myself. including what to do with your hands & your feet. I will even be walking you through your facial expressions, too!
