FAQs
PRE-BOOKING SESSION QUESTIONS
I am a public figure/teacher/a private person, and I value discretion. I prefer to keep my images private. Can you assure me that this photo session will remain confidential?
We prioritize your privacy. Your images will never be shared without your explicit consent.
For more details, visit our privacy policy.
I’m not completely comfortable being photographed nearly nude, but I want you to photograph me. Is that possible?
Absolutely! Our sessions are fully customized to meet each client's preferences and comfort levels. Whether you prefer clean and simple artistic photographs or want to be fully clothed, we will tailor the session to your needs.
What if I want my images to be a bit more risqué?
We can accommodate that request! We tailor each session to your comfort level and desires, ensuring you feel confident and beautiful. We will work with you to create images that reflect your vision and make you feel empowered.
Is it possible to be photographed in poses and styles similar to those in your portfolio?
Absolutely! You’ll have the opportunity to choose from a variety of photo styles for your session, all of which will be covered in your session prep guide.
What is your retouching philosophy? How much do you edit the images?
Our approach to retouching is to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining the integrity of your unique features. We believe in light editing to preserve the authenticity of the subject. Permanent features are softened, while non-permanent marks, like pimples, are removed. Our goal is to help you feel as beautiful as you are.
We do not believe in excessive photoshopping. While we retouch all images to remove bruises, scratches, and pimples, we avoid over-manipulating your body to ensure you still look like yourself. We do not remove tan lines or correct skin tones from tanning beds or spray tans, so please be mindful of this before your session.
In a world filled with unrealistic body images in the media, we strive to show you that you are beautiful right now, without over-the-top retouching. Most of our clients are amazed at how great their images look straight out of the camera and often opt for less retouching than they initially thought necessary. Ultimately, the level of retouching is a personal decision, and we leave it up to you after you’ve viewed your images.
How far in advance should I book my photo session?
We recommend booking your photo session at least 8 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. While we sometimes can accommodate last-minute requests, booking early ensures you get the session date that works best for you.
I need my images by a specific date. When should I book?
Our studio books up to 6 months in advance, and our printed products can take up to 10 weeks for delivery. To ensure you receive your images by your desired date, please reach out to book well in advance.
Where does the photo session take place?
Most clients come to our private studio, conveniently located just five minutes from downtown New Hope, PA in Bucks County (45 minutes from Philadelphia).
Our intimate, appointment-only studio offers a cozy and comfortable environment designed to create images you will treasure forever. The space features large windows for soft, natural light and studio lighting to ensure perfect lighting for photography. The minimal decor contributes to the clean and contemporary feel of the images.
Travel and on-location bookings are available upon request for an additional fee.
Can I have someone with me during the photo session?
For individual photo sessions, partners are not allowed to be present. However, you are welcome to have one friend join you.
For maternity sessions, your partner is welcome and encouraged to join at the end of the session. If you bring your child or children, please ensure someone is available to help keep them occupied.
Why Hair and Makeup Are Optional?
My goal is to honor the real you—the version you recognize and feel connected to every day. For some, a boudoir session is about capturing a familiar look, whether that’s natural, with no makeup, or the makeup you’d wear on any regular day. For others, it’s a chance to explore a slightly more polished or glam version of themselves. I believe in giving you that choice, which is why I don’t include hair and makeup by default in the session fee.
If having a professional stylist helps you feel more confident or enhances your everyday style, I work with talented hair and makeup artists who can provide that extra touch while keeping your look true to you. This service can be added to your session for an additional fee, allowing you to feel at ease and empowered in a look that feels authentically yours.
Ultimately, this session is all about capturing your unique beauty—whether that’s the style you wear daily or something a bit more refined. The choice is entirely yours.
What can I expect to spend?
It's hard to give an exact figure before we create your images, as spending varies widely. Some clients opt for a basic album, while others invest several thousand dollars in a Collection with a variety of products. The choice is entirely up to you.
Please note, if you're looking for a "quick shoot" or "just a few images," our studio might not be the best fit for you. We offer a comprehensive, full-day experience and present you with around 75 images. We only offer highly curated luxury products because you deserve the best.
On average, clients spend between $4800-$9500.
Investing in yourself is priceless. You'll cherish your images and the feelings from your session day forever. We can’t wait to provide you with this incredible experience!
