Hello lovely people! I’m Lisa Winner, and I’m here to answer all your burning questions about Boudoir Photography. Whether you’re considering a boudoir session or just curious about what it entails, this blog will guide you through everything you need to know. Boudoir photography is an intimate, empowering experience, and I want you to feel as comfortable and confident as possible.

Let’s dive into the top 12 questions I get about Boudoir Photography!

1. Do You Share My Images?

Absolutely not—unless you want me to! Your privacy is my top priority. I only share images with your explicit permission. During our session, you’ll have the option to sign a model release form, which allows me to use your photos for my portfolio or social media. But if you’d prefer to keep your images private, that’s perfectly fine too. Your comfort and consent are paramount.

2. Do I Need to Wear Lingerie?

No, not at all! Boudoir is about what makes you feel connected to your own sensuality. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to what to wear. Some women feel most empowered in lingerie, while others prefer a favorite dress, an oversized sweater, or even nothing at all. The goal is to capture your essence and make you feel beautiful in whatever you choose to wear.

3. Do You Have Payment Plans?

Yes, we do! I understand that investing in a boudoir session is a significant decision, and I want to make it as accessible as possible. During our consultation call, we can discuss various payment plans that suit your budget and needs. My goal is to ensure you have an amazing experience without any financial stress.

4. Do You Photoshop My Images?

I do minor retouching to enhance your images, such as lighting and color correction, removing stray hairs, and smoothing out fabric wrinkles. However, I believe in celebrating you in your true form. I won’t alter anything permanent about your appearance. Boudoir photography is about embracing your natural beauty and feeling confident just as you are.

5. What Type of Print Products Do You Offer?

We offer a wide variety of print products, including stunning wall art, elegant albums, and fine art prints. These products are designed to showcase your favorite images in a timeless way. During your consultation call, we’ll go over our product collections so you can choose the perfect way to display your boudoir photos once your images are ready at your ordering appointment.

6. Do You Offer Digitals?

Yes, I do! Digital images are a popular option, and I offer several packages that include high-resolution digital files. This allows you to share your beautiful photos with ease or create your own prints. During our consultation, we’ll discuss all the digital options available to you.

7. What Should I Wear and How Many Outfits Should I Bring?

Wear whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful. This could be lingerie, a favorite dress, or even an oversized sweater. We can discuss wardrobe options during our pre-session consultation to ensure you feel prepared.

I recommend bringing 2-3 outfits for your boudoir session. This gives us plenty of variety and ensures we capture different aspects of your personality and style. Think about what makes you feel confident and beautiful—whether it’s lingerie, a favorite dress, or something more casual.

8. Should I Arrive Early to My Photoshoot?

Arriving 10-15 minutes early is a great idea! This gives us a bit of extra time to go over any last-minute details and for you to settle in and relax before we start shooting. It also helps to ensure we stay on schedule, especially if we have hair and makeup services booked.

9. I’m Nervous About My Boudoir Session. Is That Normal?

Absolutely! It’s completely normal to feel a bit nervous. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible. We’ll start with some easy poses and build from there. By the end of the session, you’ll be feeling like a superstar.

10. Q: What if I Have Specific Insecurities About My Body?

A: We all have things we’re self-conscious about, and that’s completely normal. During our session, I’ll use posing and lighting techniques to highlight your favorite features and minimize any areas of concern. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident.

11. Do You Provide Hair and Makeup Services?

Yes! I work with a fantastic team of hair and makeup artists who can help you look and feel your best. Professional hair and makeup can make a big difference in your photos, and it’s a fun way to pamper yourself before the session.

12. How Do I Book a Session?

It’s easy! Complete the Contact Form. We’ll schedule a consultation to discuss your vision and answer any questions you may have. Then, we’ll pick a date and get everything set up for your amazing boudoir experience.
