FAQ’s
Questions?
Do you have a studio?
yes! I’ve partnered with a local woman-owned studio in Pasadena that’s perfect for simple backdrops. the studio has different backdrops, a dressing room, restroom, and easy parking right in front. It’s also ADA accessible and on the ground floor in a quiet part of Pasadena.
I also shoot on location as I know some people want specific backgrounds for their shoot, just ask me about travel or outdoor sessions.
I’ve never done a boudoir photo shoot before?! What should I expect?
No worries! you don’t need any experience–I will guide you every step of the way, from picking outfits you feel comfortable in to guiding through a series of poses that are friendly to all body shapes and sizes. a boudoir shoot with me is easy, fun and stress-free. I promise I will help you find your best angles and that you’ll walk out feeling like a total goddess, with photos to match.
What should I bring to the shoot?
I’ll send you a guide pre-shoot, but in general I recommend the following:
- as many wardrobe options as you may like (think beyond lingerie: swimsuits, bodysuits, nice dresses, an oversized button-down shirt or even a silk scarf are excellent
- props or accessories you like
- a robe and slippers to keep on while in between setups to keep you comfy
- bevvie friendly! bring in your champagne, matcha, latte…whatever brings you joy ✨
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept Zelle, cash, bitcoin, Venmo and most major credit cards.
Do you ever shoot outside of LA?
Yes! Sometimes I will travel and take appointments in other major cities around the world. Please sign up for my newsletter to get my travel dates.
Can I bring my friend/partner/pet with me?
Yes! If you will feel more comfortable with a friend hyping you up, go right ahead. unless you have a trained service animal, I ask that you don’t bring an animal as they tend to get in the way of our photos.
Can I bring my partner into the photos?
Absolutely! in case you want to do a spicy session with your lover(s), there’s no additional charge to our existing packages.
Do you have a hair and makeup artist you could recommend?
I’m happy to recommend hair and makeup artists for whatever look and style you are going for.
How long does a shoot last?
It depends on which package you select, but I like to shoot for around 2 hours. While it might sound tempting to spend a whole day taking photos, it can be really exhausting to be posing and changing outfits all afternoon. I find this is the best amount of time to get the best selection of photos without tiring yourself out!
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, each appointment requires a $100 deposit which goes towards the cost of your booking. Your deposit guarantees your appointment. Deposits are non-refundable, but should you need to reschedule, you may rollover your deposit to a different date.
What is your cancellation policy?
You may cancel up to 48 hours before our appointment and use your deposit to book another day. However *if you cancel less than 48 hours in advance of your booking, I will request the full appointment fee*
What do I need to prepare for the shoot?
Inspiration photos are always helpful so I have an idea of what you’re looking for. Please bring a selection of outfits and lingerie sets, and don’t forget to pay attention to your nails.
Do you offer any discounts?
Yes! I offer discounts to nurses, teachers, union organizers and sex workers.
How do you handle privacy and digital safety?
I’m so glad you asked! first off: your photos will never be used on my website or other marketing without your explicit consent first. second: I only communicate via encrypted email and my website is built by me and hosted offshore in a nice European country with stronger privacy laws than we currently have here in the united states. your images will be shared with you in an encrypted, private link that I delete 30 days after our session and review.
