Boudoir Photography FAQs
BEFORE THE SHOOT
How many years of experience do you have as a pro photographer / what equipment do you use?
10 years! I use high end Canon equipment ( 40D, 20D as back up ).
How do your Bay Area boudoir photography sessions work?
I take around 100 photos. Most clients bring 3 outfits. There is a small fee for extra outfits - lets talk about what you want ! You receive 90 photos on the CD. I lightly edit ALL photos. I extensively edit 5 of my favorites. Your 10 additional extensive edits are available at no extra cost (I email the extra edits to you). You'll find that on MANY of the photos, you don't even NEED extensive editing. Many will be ready to print!
Why do you shoot at a hotel suite and not a studio?
A swanky hotel suite is the best setting for boudoir photography!
If I don't want to shoot in a suite, can you come to my home for my boudoir photos?
Yes! There is no extra cost to come to you if you are in San Francisco. There are small travel fee's to come outside the city.
How do I know I'll look good?
You handle 50% by bringing a few cute outfits and heels, doing makeup, and doing hair!
I handle 50% by using flattering lighting,making the shoot fun, and helping you pose in a flattering way.Do you provide retouching?
Yes, but I use a light hand! I want you to look like you! You generally can't tell that my photos are retouched.
Do you have outfits and heels I can use?
Yes! Send me your size! You'd also be amazed at what I can with simple props ( sheets / petals ) .
How do I schedule you?
Call me at 415.259.4886 and I can schedule your photo shoot and take your $100 deposit with any major credit card.
How revealing will be most revealing photos be?
We do not offer fully nude photos. Thongs are generally required.
Choose a level in advance so that I know what you want!
- Costumes only
- Topless, but covered up somehow
- Topless
DURING THE SHOOT .......
This will be fun right?
YES ! The vibe of the shoot is very fun and empowering. There is music, chocolates to enjoy, champagne or cider ect.! The shoots are a lot of fun!
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. Someone you trust is a perfect addition to your shoot day.
AFTER THE SHOOT .............
How long does editing take before I get my CD?
3 weeks, but we can sometimes rush if needed.
What about privacy?
I would never post anything anywhere without checking with a client first. The only photos we show other clients are fully clothed images. If you prefer I leave your photos out of my portfolio entirely , that's ok too !
What about a higher level of privacy? Are you willing to shoot and just turn the memory card over to me?
Yep.
Do you provide prints / calendars ect?
Yes! Prints, photo books, and calendars are very affordable.
Please call 415.259.4886 to schedule!
I hope to see you soon!
