can I keep my boudoir photos private?
Yes, absolutely, 100%.
All galleries are password protected, and are created within my amazing client management system which requires my client to be logged in in order to download/purchase anything. By default, your gallery will be 100% private. Upon receiving your images, I will offer you the option to share your images with others, whether it be 100% public or on a women-only level. There is absolutely no obligation or pressure to do so. If you do opt to share, we will both sign a contract with the terms of the privacy to ensure you know you are 100% protected.
can I OPT TO ONLY SHARE CERTAIN IMAGES?
Yes, absolutely, 100%.
IF YOU DECIDE TO SHARE (see previous FAQ) you can certainly say that you only want certain photos shared. For example, some opt to share only detail or rear images where their face is not recognizable in any way.
If you opt for this, we will include that in the contract (see previous FAQ).
HOW ARE IMAGES PRINTED? IS IT SECURE/PRIVATE?
I use a professional imaging company for all of my albums and prints. Nothing is getting sent to CVS or Staples - not only so that I can ensure it is the BEST possible quality but also to protect your privacy and identity.
The imaging company I use is exclusive to photographers and has been trusted by the photography community since 1968. Their system keeps images password protected and linked client-to-client to ensure privacy. For more info, you can review their privacy policy.
DO YOU HAVE PAYMENT OPTIONS/PLANS?
Yes, absolutely, 100%.
My goal when building my session experience was to make boudoir attainable. Prices average women can justify, everyone goes home with art, and still as inclusive and luxurious as possible.
That being said, am I the cheapest? No. And I get that. So another step I take to ensure that this is an attainable experience for ALL women is to offer flexible in-house payment plans as increments of your comfort level.
Schedule your no-obligation consultation call and we can discuss what incremental payment schedule would work best for you, how far out you'll be able to book according to that payment schedule, and so on!
CAN I OPT OUT OF MAKEUP OR HAIR TO MAKE MY SESSION CHEAPER?
My session fee is already discounted. So while you can opt out of hair or makeup services, it will not change your package price.
DO YOU HAVE PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR ART & PRODUCT I ADD ON AFTERWARDS?
Yes!
If you add on additional art during your ordering appointment, we can certainly set up a payment schedule. We will add up your art and extras to get a final total.
You'll need to pay 20% of that invoice to secure the order. The remaining amount we will set up in incremental payments. This can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly and tailored to your comfortable payment amount.
You art will ship within 2 weeks of completing your payment plan and will arrive right to your doorstep.
WHEN & WHERE ARE SESSIONS HELD?
There are about 101 factors to your "when".
If you opt for a payment plan, your session will be scheduled in alignment with the end of the payment plan.
If you are doing your session as a gift, you'll want to ensure that your session is scheduled at minimum of 4 weeks prior to the gift date to ensure art is delivered in a timely fashion.
All sessions are held in my beautiful 3 story studio in Downtown Chambersburg.
WHAT DO I WEAR? I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.
Don't overthink this. It is very easy to get swept away in the little details when sometimes simple is best.
That being said, upon booking I'll send you a little lingerie shopping guide if you're TOTALLY lost. But I always encourage you to think outside of the norm! Take to Pinterest. See what vibes you like and want to try.
For my own, I did stockings and a cut up tee. Super simple and easy to achieve. I also keep a few things on hand if something goes awry or you need a little detail item.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND OR MY S/O ALONG WITH ME?
At this time I ask that any significant others stay behind for the session. Though many of us have a healthy and happy relationship with our s/o, please understand that some women do not, and I have this one-size rule in place to protect them.
I promise that after a few minutes together, you and I will feel like friends ourselves - BUT if you feel like it will help you loosen up and have more fun, I am fine with another female friend accompanying you. In fact, ask me about how you and your bestie can share your session date & make it a girls day!
DO YOU OFFER COUPLES SESSIONS?
At this time, I do not offer couples boudoir sessions, but I would be glad to refer you to a photographer who does.
