FAQ for Boudoir Sessions

If you’re new to the idea of boudoir, you probably have a lot of questions to ask. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions from ladies who want to book their session. If you don’t see your question posted here, just ask! Kristen is always happy to help at any time. Please allow 24 hours grace for a response to emails. Thanks babes!

Where is your studio?

My studio is outside of Columbus on the east side. You'll be given an exact location with some landmark directions once you've booked your session and are ready to go for your consultation party. I do not travel anywhere outside of my studio for shooting unless it is paid for by the client.

What's a consultation party?

A consultation party is a get-together with any babe who has booked or is just curious about a session, when you can bring your outfits, meet me before your session and we can break the ice and get to know each other better. While this isn't mandatory, it's high encouraged so you can get some of those nerves out and have all of your questions answered!

What should I bring?

Regular sessions include one to five outfits depending on the package you've purchased and the option to shoot nude. You'll need to supply your own outfits for your session (this way you'll find something you absolutely love for you). If you are doing your own hair and makeup, you may want to bring anything necessary to touch up in case you smudge or smear.

What should I wear?

DO NOT WEAR BRA OR PANTIES TO YOUR SHOOT! This will create indentations that will be harder to remove in post-edit. Wear loose fitting clothes (soft shorts/pants and a loose t-shirt or flannel is best).

What's included in my session fee?

Your session fee will be $175, to be paid in full to book your session. This includes hair and make-up with false eyelashes (if you choose to opt out of this, the session fee stays the same), a photo session including up to five outfits and the option of nudity, standard retouching, and an ordering session. Digitals and other products are not included in the session fee.

Will you post my photos online anywhere?

Only with your written permission. There is a small section of my contract that will allow me to share all, some or none of your photos online. There's no extra charge for privacy unless you have applied for a model call.

How much is this going to cost? How many photos do I get?

This merely depends on what you'd like to buy. Packages begin at $700 for products and go up from there. Digitals and products are not included in the session fee so you will spend a minimum of $700 unless a special is being ran.

Do I have to go nude?

Absolutely not. We will only be working within your comfort level. Some girls don't even wear lingerie, they wear sweatshirts, long socks and Calvin Clean underwear! It's completely up to you. I do highly encourage it though. It's a very freeing experience and we don't have to worry about tight outfits squishing our hips or boobs.

Do I have to pose myself or come up with my own ideas?

All the posing is up to me. You may of course bring in some ideas, but I'll be guiding you through the whole process to give you the best photos you've ever had.

What products do you offer? Can I just get digitals?

As of right now, I offer digitals, keepsake boxes and albums. Packages are divided up to give you the best of the best at a price that fits your budget.

When will my session take place?

As of right now, I work a full-time job during the week. I only offer shoots on Saturdays and Sundays at select times. Sessions will take place at 11:00am or 2:30pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

How long will my session take?

Your session will last up to 90 minutes. Within 7-10 (seven to ten) days, you'll come back to my studio for your reveal party where you'll choose the package you'd like to purchase. Payment must be done in full or started on the same day of your session.

Do you offer any sales or specials?

I offer sales and specials randomly throughout the year. Do not wait for a sale or special, it may not come. Prices can be raised or reduced at any time until you have paid your session fee - so don't wait too long!

Stay gorgeous, stay happy, stay you. ☀️
