Boudoir Photography FAQ

I’ve never done a boudoir session before. Will you help me pose?

Of course! I’ll guide you through every pose, expression, and detail so you feel comfortable and confident. You don’t need to know how to “model”, that’s my job!

Do I have to wear lingerie?

Not at all. Boudoir is about feeling beautiful and empowered, whether that’s in lace lingerie, a cozy sweater, your favorite t-shirt, or nothing at all. It’s entirely your choice.

I’m nervous. Is that normal?

Completely normal! Almost everyone feels nervous at first. But I promise, within a few minutes of shooting, you’ll start having fun. My studio is a judgment-free, safe space focused on helping you feel amazing.

Where does the session take place?

Sessions take place in my private studio in Bellingham, WA. It’s designed for privacy, comfort, and beautiful natural light.

Do you retouch the images?

Yes! All of your images are lightly retouched to enhance your natural beauty while still looking like you. I remove temporary blemishes and soften skin gently, but I believe in keeping your photos authentic.

Can I bring a friend with me?

Absolutely. You’re welcome to bring someone for support if it helps you feel more comfortable. Just let me know in advance so I can plan the space accordingly.

Will my photos be shared online?

Your privacy is incredibly important to me. I will only share your images if you’ve given explicit written permission. Otherwise, they remain completely private.

What should I bring to my session?

Bring outfits that make you feel beautiful and confident—lingerie, robes, bodysuits, or casual clothing. Also bring any special items you’d love to include, like jewelry, heels, or meaningful props. We will chat about what to bring during your consultation!

Do you offer hair and makeup?

Yes! Professional hair and makeup styling is available as an add-on to help you feel pampered and camera-ready.

I’m not a model and I don’t have a ‘perfect’ body. Can I still do boudoir?

Yes, yes, YES! Boudoir is for every body, every age, every size. You deserve beautiful photos that celebrate who you are, exactly as you are.
