FAQ

I’m not a model and I’ve never done anything like this before. Is this for me?

I shoot women of all ages, shapes and sizes. No one comes in knowing how to pose, and everyone leaves with amazing pictures! Read some testimonials for examples of their experiences. You’ve hired me to make you look and feel the best you ever have, and I guarantee you'll leave with a new found confidence. Your only job: have fun and relax. I only ask that you place your confidence in me. With amazing posing, lighting and direction, you will love your portraits.

Will my photos be all over the internet?

Not unless you say it’s okay! Every client I feature on my website and social media has given me written permission to post her images. Privacy is very important to me. If you decide you don’t want them shared, that is completely fine. If you want to give permission, I’d LOVE to share them so other women can get an idea of what the experience looks and feels like.

I have features I’d like to downplay. Do you use Photoshop?

Yes! Photoshop can reduce or completely remove most common issues. I believe every woman is on her own self-love journey and because of this, we include magazine-quality editing from removal of any unwanted cellulite, scars, acne etc. I've mastered the lighting and posing that is used to flatter you specific body type, no matter your curves or age. Photoshop can then be used to perfect the images.

Where are you located?

Our boudoir photography studio is located about 15 minutes from Providence and 50 minutes from Boston. Our studio offers 1200 square feet of space with multiple studio sets including a 60 inch television from which you will view your images during your image reveal. With gorgeous natural light, beautiful hardwood floors and select minimalistic decor details will provide stunning timeless elements in your photographs.

Do you offer hair and makeup?

Absolutely! No boudoir session is complete without a flawless, photo-ready finish. I only hire the very best talent in our area to serve our clients with top level hair and makeup artistry.

Many of our clients tell us they rarely wear makeup, and/or they have no idea how to apply makeup for the camera. If this is you, then have no fear... We are going to take great care of you and get you the makeup look that suits you and your personality best.

What should I wear?

We have created a beautiful and comprehensive wardrobe guide that should give you all the details on how to look and feel like a bombshell for your session. Our policy is always "when in doubt, bring it"! Most sessions will include 2-3 outfits, so it's not uncommon for our babes to show up with a duffle bag full of stuff! From there we'll hang all of your pieces and discuss which ones will flatter you most. Feel free to leave tags on incase you'd like to return the ones you didn't end up shooting in!

For our booked clients we also provide you with a list of places to shop! We know the world of lingerie can be overwhelming so we do our very best to take as much stress off of you as possible. It gives you direct links to all of our favorite lingerie retailers, their price points, and what we love about them.

If you’re completely indecisive and lingerie is not your forte and you wish it was, nothing beats a black bodysuit or 2 piece set. I have a mini client closet with beautiful lacy robes and blouses we can use to create stunning imagery so while lingerie is fun, it’s not the main spotlight - you are!
