I’m not comfortable in front of the camera. Can I do this?
Oh my, yes, absolutely. My job is to provide a space and an experience where you feel as at-ease as you possibly can. You don’t have to have a dozen garter belts at the ready or be an Instagram model to do this. Actually, that makes you teachable. All you have to do is show up. I’ll handle the rest from detailed posing to your facial expressions, I’ve got you.
How far out should I book my session?
All of our albums are handmade in Europe, so we recommend allowing two months between the day we do your session to the day you need your products, just to be safe.
We typically stay booked up to three months out, sometimes less, sometimes more. I recommend reaching out about your session ASAP, even if we schedule it several months from now.
What should I do with these photos?
Use them! Display them! Post them! We offer luxury handmade albums, wall art, individuals prints, and digital files. My goal is to create images that you can’t help but want to show off.
Most people think they could never hang one of their boudoir photos in their home, and most people change their minds. :) You’ll love your photos and want to see them as often as possible.
Will you post my photos?
That’s all up to you! We LOVE to share your photos because it shows other women that they can do this, too. But we completely respect your privacy. After your image reveal, we’ll send you a form where you can tell us whether we can use your photos or not.
What should I wear?
I’ll send you an entire guide to help you prep for your session. It covers everything from what to wear and where to shop to what type of lotion to use and a handy list of dos and don’ts. I’ve got you covered, but the short answer is something simple that makes you feel like yourself.
Am I, like, naked?
If you want to be. I love photographing artistic nudes, but I never pressure you. We talk at the beginning of your session about how much you want to show, and at the end I check in again to make sure we’re always on the same page. Most clients do a sheet set with implied nudity, but you’re always in control of how much you wear (or don’t).
Where are you located?
I own a beautiful commercial studio in Nashville’s Germantown on 5th Avenue N. It’s on the second floor so it’s got plenty of privacy from street view but is in a nice, safe, comfortable location.
What are your prices?
The session fee is $499 and includes all your planning tips, hair and makeup, your time in the studio, and editing by our in-house editor. Your images are purchased separately at an ordering appointment about two weeks after your session, where you’ll see each photo fully edited and in both color and black and white. I’ll help you choose the very best ones, and packages begin at $1499. We also provide interest-free financing options if some extra time helps with your investment.
