Questions
Where do the Boudoir or Pinup sessions take place?
My studio is located in beautiful Crown Point, Indiana. We are just 40 minutes from downtown Chicago and 2.5 hours from Downtown Indianapolis. We photograph women from all over Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. We have even had clients travel from Tampa Florida for their session. If you are traveling from a distance, we have a lot of great hotels in the area!
How much do I have to pay when I book my Boudoir Session?
The amount will depend on which package you choose to go with. See the pricing guide for the deposit amounts for each package. Paying the deposit amount will guarantee your date and time, The rest of the amount due will be paid when you see your photos about 7-10 days after your session date. At that time you can pay in full or set up a payment plan. A 30% down payment is due when setting up a payment plan.
Do you have payment plans?
Yes! We have in-house plan, no interest payment plans. You must leave a 30% down payment and the remainder can be financed for 9 to 12 months. You will receive your products after the balance is paid in full.
Is hair and makeup included with my boudoir p session?
It depends on what package you decide to go with. Some packages have hair and makeup included and some do not. If you wish to add hair and makeup to your session, you can add it on for just $160. Your hair and makeup will be done right here at the studio when your arrive for your scheduled session by one of our licensed hair and makeup artists. Your hair and makeup services also come with lashes.
Can I bring a friend along to my session for moral support?
Absolutely YES, you can bring along a FEMALE friend to your session. Cause everything is more fun with a girlfriend. I just ask that they stay out of the way.
Do I have to wear lingerie?
No, you do not have to wear lingerie. Your options of what to wear are endless. Some people bring in dresses, jean jackets, leather jackets or their significant other’s clothing or work clothing. It’s all up to you and but be sure you are 100% comfortable in what you are wearing, otherwise, it will show in your final images. We have a full client closet for you to use, there is no need to purchase lingerie. Our studio is one stop shop!
How many outfits should I bring to my session?
That depends on the package your choose. Packages range from 1-6 outfits. But please remember, you do not have to bring lingerie with you, you can use our large client closet. If you want to spend extra money for lingerie, go for it, but it is not necessary
Do you have outfits I can borrow?
Yes, we have over 500 pieces in our client closet. We have sizes XS to 6X.
I don’t know how to pose. I’m not a model. Help!
This is by far the biggest concern for most of my clients! Please don’t worry – as I’ve said before, I work with my clients through every pose during their session. Please understand that posing I ask you to do will NOT feel like just another afternoon of lounging around on your bed. I tell my clients that the poses will feel weird, and you could be sore the next day! But the final product will feel amazing! None of my clients are models, they are everyday women just like you.
Do I have to share my photos online?
No, not unless you want to. All of the photos of the women you see online have signed a release that allows us to share their images. We take our clients privacy very seriously at our Indiana Boudoir Photography studio. Your privacy is our #1 priority
Do you Photoshop my images, I have cellulite/stretch marks/acne. Can you get rid of that?
In most cases Yes, that is part of my retouching process. I edit your images for color balance, light and exposure. I also airbrush your skin for a flawless look. I want my clients to look like themselves, just a bit more polished. Because this experience is a way to help you learn to love your body just the way it currently is, I will not do any body altering. I use lighting and posing to define the way I want your body to look. It is really important to me that my to love themselves the way they are and embrace themselves for who they are
Do you offer digital images?
Yes, you have the option of purchasing a digital collection only.
Will you help me plan for my session?
YES! After you book your session you will receive a questionnaire so I know what you are expecting from your session. You will also receive a lingerie guide and a preparation guide and well as many emails to answer your questions. If all those resources do not help you, I am available to help you out on the phone and in person.
What else should I know?
I am a fully insured limited liability corporation. I have been in business for over 15 years now and have photographed almost 2000 women just like yourself. Photoshoots are available to women 19 years and older ( you may be asked for ID)
"What you don't realize yet, is that these images aren't for 'right now'...they are for the 90 year old version of you who wants to look back. Photographs will one day be the ONLY proof of all the life you have lived."
