Boudoir Session Prep Guide

Should I arrive 15 mins early like I do for the Doctor?? No, please don't. I often hold several back to back appointments during the day so I will not be able to let you in early or answer your calls or texts. But, I promise to be ready for you promptly at your scheduled appointment time!

How should I prepare? My best advice to you, is to STRETCH, hydrate, and moisturize. Boudoir Sessions are equivalent to yoga class. The more bendy you are, the easier this will be. Drinking lots of water helps make you more flexible too, and it's going to reduce bloating and clear up your skin.

Get a zit or a bruise? Don't worry, that's why I use Photoshop! Moisturize your skin to keep it looking fresh and luminous.

NO SPRAY TANS OR TANNING BEDS. If you arrive with a spray tan your session is immediately CANCELLED with no refunds or reschedules. We do not mess around with this policy because even the best spray tans could stain our furniture, and they simply do not photograph well. You will be orange on camera and I cannot photoshop that out.  I do not advocate for tanning beds because they cause redness and blotchiness of skin, and additional retouching of your skin because of tanning beds will be charged a $35 fee per corrected image.

What about grooming? If you need to get your hair touched up, your nails done, or have any hair removal services done, make sure you do it a few days prior to your session so everything has time to "settle" and you have a little wiggle room should things need to be fixed. I don't recommend trying new hairstyles or colors, getting new piercings or tattoos immediately before your session.

How should I dress the morning of? Please arrive in loose fitting clothing that will not leave impressions on your skin. Avoid jeans, socks, underwire bras. Feel free to wear Pj's, sweats, yoga pants, or leggings. Don't feel like you need to dress up for us! Most likely everyone here will be in leggings too :) If you would like to bring a robe to wear while in Hair and Makeup feel free. 

 

**Pay attention to your email over the next few days as we will be sending out all kinds of fun information for your session.  Get Excited!!**

 

 


Our Address



The studio is located in my home at 834 Orange Zest Lane, Richmond, TX 77406. When you arrive please park along the side of the house to keep the circle free of parked cars.  My house is the White House on the corner.  

 

When will I see my pictures? 

As mentioned in your consultation and the initial pamphlet I sent you, you will be scheduled to return to the studio within 14 days after your session unless your collection offers same day viewing. If this is not a possibility for you, let me know so we can make alternate arrangements. All clients are required to return to the studio within 14 days to view images and place order unless a previous arrangement has been discussed. Clients who cannot return to the studio or meet via Zoom within the 14 day guideline will have their images deleted and they will no longer be available for purchase. If you feel this will be an issue for you, please make arrangements with us as soon as possible.

How does the Ordering Appointment work?

Your Ordering Appointment is your time to view all of your gorgeousness and decide which images you will be purchasing! We pull all of your images up on the screen and go through them one at a time, we will show you some images in color and some in black & white. They are "rough drafts", so they haven't been edited. All of the professional retouching is done on your images after we select which ones you are purchasing. There are a variety of different print and digital options, and with your payment in full you will receive the prints and products in 6-8 weeks., Products can either be shipped to you or you can pick them up at the studio. Please let us know at the Ordering Appointment if you'd like them shipped!

Payment options are: cash, credit, or debit. We do NOT accept checks.

There is no option to have an online gallery or a second Ordering Appointment.

All sales are final. Once the Ordering Appointment is completed, no further changes can be made to your order. This is studio policy for all clients and no exceptions will be made. You may not change, alter, add, reduce, or request any other types of changes after the Ordering Appointment.

 

Pre-Session Payment Plans

It has become increasingly popular to purchase a collection prior to your session by either paying in full or setting up a payment plan. By pre-purchasing a collection, it allows us to plan your session with specific products in mind, and we reward you with Bonuses valued at up to $600!

We do not offer payment plans after your session.

 

Time To Start Shopping for your session

We recommend bringing 3-5 outfits to your session.  We will make the final decision on what you wear during hair and make up.  It is OKAY to bring more, put please no less than 3 outfits.  We will follow up soon with a wardrobe guide to get you started down the right path!  In the meantime start adding some fun finds to your cart :)
