1. Arrive at the studio at your scheduled time.

2. Product Selection: You will select and pay for your

album or package on the day of your shoot. Our

product prices start at $395 for our smallest album and

prices go up from there based on increased quality of

the album, size and number of images included. This

will allow our photographer to shoot your session

correctly based on the products you choose. We

accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover or cash.

3. Wardrobe and set consultation

4. 60 minute Makeup application and hair touch ups if

purchased in your session: 45-50 minutes makeup and

15-10 minutes hair touch up styling.

5. Boudoir Shoot: 60 minutes including changing time

and set and backdrop changes

Please do not be late. We are tightly scheduled! Tardiness will affect the length

of your session. Please leave in plenty of time to allow for traffic problems and

other issues that may occur. We will not be able to replace the minutes lost in

your session due to tardiness because we have clients whose sessions are

scheduled following your session. If you arrive before your scheduled time,

please wait in the downstairs building lobby prior to coming up to the studio.

The building management company is very strict and does not allow any

visitors to the building to wait or stand around in the hallways. Your session will

automatically be cancelled if you are more than 10 minutes late and no

refunds will be given.

We offer a variety of packages and albums to purchase with your boudoir

session. Your product will be selected and paid on the day of your session and

before your session starts. We accept cash and Visa, MasterCard, and

Discover credit cards only. Selecting your product ahead of time, allows the

photographer to photograph your session correctly based on the product you

purchased. A list of our pricing can be found here http://bit.ly/2m2APPg

You will be able to see, explore and touch all the products we offer. Your

product must be paid for prior to your session being photographed, or you must

pay the minimum payment of the payment plan. Any declined credit cards or

not available funds for payment will result in your session being cancelled and

no refunds to deposits or session fees will be given. Call you credit card

company the morning of your session before you come in and let them know

you will be making a purchase from The Boudoir Beauty so your transaction is

approved. This will avoid taking precious time away from your photo shoot if

you have to call and be put on hold for an indefinite amount of time with your

credit card company.

We offer payment plans for invoices of $750 or more.

You will make a $550 payment the day of your session and the remainder in

two weeks after your session.

The makeup artist will apply camera-ready makeup

for your shoot, which is heavier than most clients normally wear, but the

purpose of it is to smooth out the skin and minimize and fine lines, wrinkles or

blemishes. Some clients may want to upgrade (must purchase in advance) to

the Deluxe Make Up Package based on their skin condition.

Be sure to arrive with a makeup free face. Removing pre-existing makeup will

make your face red and blotchy, so do not wear any makeup prior to coming.

Our Makeup Artist has a full kit and uses her own products that we know look

great on camera. If you have any allergies, you need to disclose them prior to

coming in for your session and provide an alternative product of your own. The

false eyelashes are provided. Lashes are highly recommended for your shoot.

Lashes make your eyes pop and look so sexy!

Regular Makeup Package: Our regular package comes with your Groupon

session, which includes foundation, eyeshadow, blush, basic eyeliner, mascara,

lipstick and lashes.

Deluxe Makeup Package Available: If you would like to upgrade to our deluxe

makeup package, you may do so for an additional $35. You must do this in

advance so we can pre pay and book the extra time for the makeup artist.

Please call the studio to request this right away. It must be scheduled and

prepaid in advance. Deluxe makeup will include multi shades of eyeshadow,

such as a smoky eye, more dramatic eyeliner, concealer under eyes (hides

dark circles or fine lines and wrinkles), face contouring and lashes. Face

contouring helps sculpt cheekbones and slims the face. Approximately 45

minutes of your hour makeover is spent on makeup.

Hair Touch Ups/Styling: After your makeup is complete, we will spend the

remaining time styling your hair. Keep in mind that we are not a licensed

cosmetology hair salon, so we can make only touch ups to your current

hairstyle. Come with clean, product free hair already in the style you would like

for your shoot. We will touch up and add volume to your current hairstyle.

When we touch up your hair, any hairspray or product you put in your hair

before you arrived will burn and stick, so refrain from putting product in your

hair prior to coming.

We are asked all the time about tipping, so we thought we would

just address it directly. We do allow tipping to the makeup artist and

photographer. It is always appreciated as the services you receive on your

session date have been discounted almost 85% in price, but not in quality. If

you need to add a tip to your product invoice, just let us know. We will make

sure they receive your generosity.

You will have a brief wardrobe consultation to make sure the

sets you picked go best with your outfits. Prior to your session date, you will

need to select the sets you want prior to coming in and list them on the

photographer questionnaire. Here is the link to see some the sets

http://bit.ly/2qyG6yz We highly recommend doing a bedroom set and a sofa

set with each session, but it is really personal preference. All of your sets were

designed/created to match every color of outfit and style.

You can be photographed in up to 3 outfits that you bring in. Most

clients select 2 and sometimes 3.

Keep in mind that your total session time is the amount of time you have with

the photographer and this includes shooting time, production (sets) set up and

wardrobe changes.

If you select 2 outfits, you will have more time on each set and will have more

of a normal paced session. If you pick 3 outfits, you will have to change 3 times

and your time on the 3 sets will be less. A 3 set session moves very quickly and is

very fast paced.

Please keep in mind that you will need to change quickly between outfits so

you maximize your session with more shooting time versus changing time. Your

photographer will help you fasten garments, lace your corset and attach your

garters.

Please see our Suggested Lingerie section for ideas on

what to bring in for your shoot.

Wear loose clothing to your session so it does not leave any marks on your skin.

Tanning: We do not recommend any tanning at least a week before your

session. The camera will pick up an orange tint on your skin after a recent tan.

After tanning, you may have tan lines, will have a whiter bum if you had a

bathing suit on or have white lines under your bum from a tan. We will not edit

this in post-production, as it is how you came in and what the camera

captured.

Spray tanning: We do not recommend spray tanning at all! The camera will

pick up an orange tint from a Spray tan regardless if it is done at a professional

salon or if you do it at home. Spray tans never go on evenly and make your

skin appear patchy and uneven. This shows up more dramatically than the

naked eye can see as we use very high powered lights. Your palms of your

hands and feet are lighter or darker in color and elbows and knees are darker

in color from a spray tan. This looks awful!!! Orange and uneven skin tones are

not the look you want for your photos. We do not correct for any of these in

our editing, so do so at your own risk. Our lights are bright and high-powered.

Spray tans smell awful when your skin is warm from our lighting and creates a

very unpleasant environment for all in the studio. Grooming:

We suggest the following prior to your session: hair touch-ups, groom eyebrows,

get a manicure and pedicure.

Body Hair: Wax, trim or shave any body hair that you do not want showing in

your images, especially in your bikini area, legs, armpits and on any private

areas. Don’t forget the area between your girly area and rear end.

Blemishes: Do not apply any makeup to your skin to cover blemishes, or insect

bites. Do not worry if a pimple is present on your face or back. It is perfectly

normal! If you do have a white head, go ahead and pop it. We don’t want

the pimple to burst during the shoot and ruin your makeup application. Our

makeup artist will conceal it and we can fix it in our editing process. We will

edit blemishes or insect bites, so don’t worry if you have a break out on your

face, back or chest.

Tattoos: Do not apply any makeup to hide any tattoos. We do not want any

makeup staining our furniture or linens. Clients will be responsible for any

cleaning or damage if this happens. We do not edit out tattoos with our

normal editing that comes with your shoot. If you would like tattoo removal, we

can do this for an extra charge per photo.

Moisturizing Skin: Apply moisturizer to your body the day before your session

only. Do not moisturize the morning of your session. Lotions tend to be

reflective with our lights. This will cause you to have white spots on your skin

when the light hits it.

Chaperones Male or Female: We understand you will be nervous prior to your

session. Most of our clients have never done a boudoir session before. Our

policy is that only clients with a scheduled session on that day are able to

come into the studio. We are here for you. We will help and support you the

entire way!! We will put you at ease and coach you through the poses. We will

even show you the facial expressions to make and wear to place your hands.

If you have a girlfriend come with you, she will need to run an errand after she

drops you off. Only clients that are being photographed that day are able to

come into the studio.

Please be advised that we do not allow male chaperones in the studio under

any circumstance. This policy is designed for the comfort level of all our female

clients and for the safety and security of our clients and our all-female staff.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please make sure you get plenty of rest before your session. Make sure on the

day before and night before your session you are drinking plenty of water. This

will hydrate your skin. Pack your bag the night before your session and put it in

the car ahead of time. You do not want to rush around the morning of your

session and forget to pack your stockings or worse your panties (yes this

happens all the time )

Shopping Guide

We do not provide outfits for your session. You must bring in your own clothing,

jewelry, panties, & shoes. We do offer outfits that you can rent, shoes you can

rent and stockings you can purchase.

Corset: We recommend wearing a corset for all body types, including plus size.

Corsets give a nice curvy shape. Black and dark color corsets tend to

slenderize your shape, accentuate your curves and breasts. Other colors we

like are red, green, grey, blues, or purples. Make sure you select one that fits

properly in the breast area. If you want additional cleavage and lift, purchase

inserts that will lift and press your breasts together. A corset with the correct fit

will support your breasts and have no gaps. You will fill the entire top. We like

corsets that have garters attached for sexy lace top stockings. *Corsets are

perfect for women that want more coverage in their mid or tummy section.

Chemise, Body Suit or Baby Doll:

Chemises are also a favorite because they look similar to a corset but have a

bra like top and have the sexy garters attached. They look great on most body

types. They are perfect for clients that want to show off their breasts so select a

style that has an underwire and is padded to give more support and a lift. Pick

a style that has a deep v plunge to expose your breasts more but still gives you

padding and underwire to give you the most lift and support. Chemises do not

offer as much tummy support as a corset, but they still cover the tummy or waist

areas and also give the padded support in your breast area. If your tummy is

an area of concern, choose darker colors. All of the examples below have an

underwire and are padded. Notice picture 1, this would be great for someone

wanting to show her tummy since the fabric is see through, but not for someone

that does not. Pictures 2 and 3 would be better for someone wanting to

conceal the tummy area because the fabric and lace are not sheer. Both still

show curves of their figures which looks amazing, but the area of concern is not

showing.

Baby dolls are like a chemise in the bra top but have a flowing or open front.

The open front is great for women that want to show off their tummy and mid-

section. A closed skirt is great for women that want to minimize hip and tummy

areas, but make sure you pick one that accentuates your breast. If you want

to accentuate your breasts, you must pick a style that has an underwire with

padding to push your breast together, lift and has a halter or low deep v cut

style. Without a halter or push up area, they offer no support. Pictures 2 and 3

all have an underwire but picture 2 has an underwire and padding to give

maximum lift. If you are a client concerned with showing the tummy area, go

with closed more opaque fabric version like in picture 1 and 4 or just select a

chemise or a second corset. Notice picture 1 and 4 have sheer lace but no

nipples are showing due to the petal covers.

Body Suits are a favorite of ours! They look great for all body styles. Look for

lace styles, deep plunges in the breast area, halter style with open areas

around the breasts or the banded styles. Body suits look so sexy and give you

extra coverage in the mid-section if you need it. If the lace you select is see

through/sheer, you will need to purchase Petal Covers that will conceal your

nipples and a heavier lace pattern or panel in the crotch area to conceal your

pubic area. Keep in mind that body suits do not have an underwired to offer

support in the breast area, so pick one that has a deep plunge and v-cut.

Bra and Panty Set: A bra and panty set is perfect for women that want to show

off their breasts, tummy and mid-section. To accentuate your breasts, make

sure you select a bra that is deep plunged, has an underwire and is padded so

that your breast are lifted and pushed together.

If you are uncomfortable with your tummy showing, avoid a bra and panty set.

There is no way to conceal this area with this wardrobe selection, so pick a

corset or chemise.

When picking a panty, please stay away from panties with a G-string or thong if

you are concerned with adding weight to your hips, flanks and bottom area.

(See the panty section below for the panties we recommend and for an

explanation)

We suggest outfits with dark or bright, vivid colors like purple, red, blue, green,

turquoise, black, and white.

Teddies, Gowns with spaghetti straps or Rompers: We do not recommend this

style at all. These styles do not offer any accentuated curves or breast support.

They actually make your breasts fall down or to the sides and make them look

flat due to the lack of support. This style of outfit is very boxy looking and does

not accentuate the curves at all. You can see in the pictures below that all 4

model’s breasts appear flat and not round, voluptuous or lifted. You can’t see

the cleavage line down the middle and between the breasts or the roundness

of the breasts. These outfits do have a V-neck but the end of the V is not

deeply plunged to show cleavage liked we recommend. The cleavage line

cannot be seen. The V is doing nothing to show off the roundness or shape of

the breasts. The straight cut baggy fabric creates no curves or shows them off

in her waist and hips. These styles are doing the opposite of what you want

and are hiding her curves/shape and are making the breasts look smaller and

flat.

Poor outfit choices:

Poor choice of fit: Your outfit could have all the things we talked about but may

not fit you correctly or be accentuating the areas you want to feature. The

picture below is a perfect example of this. The chemise or body suit style does

have a bra top and has a thicker lace control panel to smooth the stomach

area. Notice at the arrow that it fails in showing any cleavage line down the

middle of her breasts or roundness/fullness in and at the top of her breasts. Her

breasts are not lifted and round at the tops. You can see she does have

cleavage by the circle we placed, however the roundness is at the bottom of

her breast because the outfit makes the top of her breasts look flat. We want

to see the roundness at the top like in the example pictures mentioned prior.

Check Your Outfit: We cannot stress how important outfit choice is. If

you want to show off your breasts, look in the mirror with your outfit on. Ask

yourself, can I see cleavage (either the cleavage line between your breasts

with a deep plunge) and fullness at the top of my breast (are they lifted up

enough that I have fullness showing at the top and have them spilling out and

are not being covered with fabric) with my outfit on? If you don’t see it, the

camera won’t either. Look for gaps in the cups of your bra, corset or chemise.

If you are not filling up the cup or breast area entirely, the outfit does not fit you

correctly.

Good examples: You can see a definite cleavage line in both outfits and

breasts are full at the top so the camera can capture this.

Poor outfit choice: This is poor choice for someone wanting to show off their

breast or curves in their body. If you look at the top of her breasts in this outfit,

they look flat and smaller and you can’t see cleavage!! She does have larger

breasts than what is showing. Look at the area on the sides and of her lower

breast. She is quite voluptuous, but the camera would never see this due to the

outfit selection because the material is concealing these areas. See photo and

arrows for more explanations.

Cleavage helpers: You may want to purchase enhancement cups to lift and

push your breasts together or up or to better help you fill your bra or outfit cup.

They sell these enhancements on Amazon and often at department stores in

the lingerie section. Picture 1 and 2 below push your breast together and you

can see the cleavage line and fullness at the top. Picture 3 are inserts that go

under your breast to lift them up or help fill in your cup if you have a slight gap.

If you are concerned about your stomach, hips, thighs or any other look at this

area in the mirror with your outfit on. Ask yourself, “Can I see the area that I

don’t want to focus on with the outfit I have on”? If you can see it, so can the

camera. We know this sounds obvious, but clients still can make a bad outfit

choice. An example of this is when a client says they do not want to show their

stomach and they bring in a bra and panty set or a chemise or baby doll that

has sheer/see through material in this area. This outfit choice will show the

exact area they ask us not to focus on.

Lace Boy Shorts or Cheeky Panties: Below are our favorite panties we

recommend you wear under and with any outfit, corset, or with any bra and

panty set. The exposed cheeks make you but look lifted and also will minimize

any hip or saddle bag areas. They photograph really well and look super sexy.

If you get a lingerie set that includes a matching G-string or thong, we caution

you and recommend you purchase a matching pair of lacy boy shorts or

cheekies. G-strings and thongs are sexy in everyday life, but do not photograph

well and add extra pounds. A G-string or thong has less fabric and will not give

the illusion of a lift. They accentuate and expose hips or saddle bag areas

Remove tags from outfits:

Please make sure to cut out all size tags out of the back of your panties and

outfits prior to arriving at the studio.

Garter stockings: Nothing is sexier than a garter belt and stockings. DO NOT buy

the thigh highs with silicon at the top. They are taller in length and will bunch

up and roll down your legs creating a muffin top bulge on your thighs…eeek!!

They also are very difficult to wear with garters. Buy a garter belt and get the

stocking that are made for garters and do not have silicon. We love the ones

that have a lace top or lace top with fishnets. We have the non-silicone

stockings for sale in regular and plus size in our boutique if you can’t find them.

Please call to reserve your pair. You will pay for them at your session time.

Themed outfit: Your husband, boyfriend, or partner's work or business shirt,

military gear, officer’s jacket or favorite sports jersey makes a perfect choice!

We love to work with props! We do not allow any firearms or props that are

sexual in nature or that will make our staff uncomfortable. Please ask before

bringing in your props.

Outfit and Shoe Rental:

We do have a dressing room with outfits you may rent on the day of your

session. The cost per outfit rental is $35 and shoe rentals are $10 per pair. We

must bring your own panties to wear underneath the outfit and we suggest

black, white or nude. We do recommend that you bring in your own outfits as

backups. We cannot guarantee that our outfits will fit every body style properly

or that you will like the selections we have to offer. Most of the sizes we have

are one-size fits all and we do offer some plus sizes.

Shoes: All outfits photograph better with shoes, the higher the heel the

better! We recommend purchasing 3-5 inch pair. Don’t worry if you are not

used to this height. You will not walk in them much the day of your shoot. They

photograph really well! Make sure the bottom of the shoes are not scuffed or

dirty, as it will show in your pictures and this will not be edited. Bring in a pair of

shoes for each outfit. We do have shoes you can rent in sizes 7-10. Our rental

fee is $10 per pair.

You will not view your photos the day of the photo shoot. They will be ready on

a later date when they have been edited. On the day of your session, the

photographer can give you an estimated period of when your images will be

ready. This time frame will only be an estimate of time. We process all images

in the order the sessions were taken. Time frames will vary based on work to be

done in the clients files prior to yours, the volume of the studio, unforeseen

weather conditions and our vendors’ volumes. Staff illnesses, inclement

weather (thunder or lightning storms, flooding etc.), holidays and unforeseen

delays will extend this time frame.

You will view your photos on a password protected online gallery when they

are ready from the privacy of your own home.

All albums purchased are

custom created by our vendors. Vendor time frames can vary and cannot be

guaranteed. Vendors will vary from up to 3 weeks to 10 weeks to complete. If

you are in a hurry to get your finished product, ask us about Rush or expedited

shipping fees. We do offer rush editing fees and expedited shipping as well.

Please feel free to call or email us with any questions!
