Top 12 Boudoir session FAQ
The thought of a boudoir session can be scary. When talking to women about their session, I get asked all kinds of questions. So I wanted to compile a list of my 12 Boudoir session FAQ to give you some insight on preparing for a boudoir session with me!
Do you share my images?
Our number 1 priority making sure our clients are comfortable, especially with boudoir! It can be a life changing experience, but that also makes it nerve wracking! Sometimes, you are learning how to love your body and you aren’t quite ready to share the images with the world; or sometimes these photos are specifically for your spouse and aren’t for anyone else’s eyes.
These are all great reasons for not sharing your photos, and it all depends on your personal preferences! If there are photos that I would like to share, I will ask your permission first, and only share what you are comfortable with.
Do I have to wear lingerie?
You definitely don’t have to specifically wear lingerie; it depends on your personality! There are a BUNCH of outfit ideas other than lacy little things!

Do you have payment plans?
To book your shoot, you do have to pay the experience fee upfront. The remaining investment is based on the collection/products you select. We do offer payment plans for your collection! Production time will not begin until you’ve made the full payment, but we would be happy to work with you on a payment structure for the collection you pick. If you are interested in a payment plan, let us know ahead of time so we can be on the same page.
Is hair and makeup included?
Hair and makeup are included in all our boudoir shoots! I think it’s important for you to feel pampered and having your hair and makeup done is a great way to do that! Our amazing team can help you complete your look. Whether that’s “I just woke up like this” or Full on glam! You can bring any ideas you want for your makeup, and we can use it for inspiration!
Do you Photoshop my images?
I do edit your images for light, exposure, and color balance. I do NOT however edit anything out that is permanent! I think it can be damaging to have a boudoir session done, and then edit out parts of yourself that make you who you are! Part of the process of accepting yourself and seeing your beauty also means not photoshopping out parts of yourself you don’t like. If there are parts of yourself that are learning to love and aren’t thrilled about, that is okay! We are skilled in posing and lighting to make you look your absolute best and brings out your shine! (hint, this is where open communication with me is key!)
Where should I buy outfits?
There are a few places to buy outfits from and it depends on what you are getting and the style of your shoot! Here is a long list to choose from with different style and sizing! Victoria’s Secret, Forever2l, Adoreme.com, Torrid, eberjay.com, Aerie, foreveryourslingerie.ca, hipsandcurves.com.
jasminestaceycollection.co. If you are looking for something specific that you can’t find, let me know and I might know where to get it!
Side note: yours or your significant other’s closet is also a good place to look…
What type of print products do you have?
We offer a variety of albums and luxury glass boxes with prints in them!
“The glass legacy box with the 8xl0 matted prints are my favorite. I absolutely love the feel of picking up a physical print, it’s so surreal to see yourself like that! 20 glorious and glossy pages from the boudoir shoot that I flip through myself every chance I get. I think I look at them more than he does. It’s a daily reminder that my self-image has completely changed after having mv boudoir shoot.” -Alex, on her experience at her boudoir shoot!
Do you offer digitals?
All our packages are built around albums and each image in the album also comes with the digital of that image, but there is also an A La Carte list that you can choose from as well! On this list we have an option to add on extra digital images, phone app, enlargements and more! The digital images are delivered in a locked online gallery for you to download.
I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?
Don’t worry, nerves are all part of the experience! I always say that it would probably be weird if you WEREN’T nervous. The nervousness in the beginning of your shoot makes your moment of “WOW” seeing your photos for the first time that much sweeter!
How many outfits should I bring?
There isn’t a set number of outfits to bring but try not to set the mental expectation that you’ll wear each item you bring. This is where when it comes to number of outfits, less is more. Click here to grab a copy of some recommendations we have for clothing to bring.
Should I get to my shoot early?
You should always plan on getting to your shoot about 10 minutes early so we can talk about your outfits and colors and plan for hair and makeup!
Where is your studio located?
We are located in Webster, Texas (AKA Clear Lake), in an office building on the second floor. 1115 Gemini St #207 Webster TX, 77598. There’s an elevator and stairs and we are just down from both on the second floor. 207
