Your Boudoir experience and investment guide
Thank you so much for reaching out! I’m so excited you’re here.
Everything you need to know before booking is below. It should only take about 5 minutes to read.
Ready to reserve your date? - You’ll find everything you need below.
Still have a few questions? - Schedule a quick 15 min call . We’ll chat through the experience, answer your questions, and see if it’s the right fit!
Wondering what the experience is like? let’s walk through it together.
It’s completely normal to feel nervous before your session.
Almost every woman tell me she was anxious beforehand. Just know that when you arrive and get situated, meet the team and see and feel the space, you’ll start to feel a sense of peace. We play your favorite music, you’ll have your own private dressing room, and you can take breaks whenever you need them.
Hair & Makeup
You’ll arrive at the studio at 10am and head straight into hair & makeup with one of our talented artists. My girls are pros with all skin tones and provide lashes and all products needed. Just arrive with a fresh face and clean dry hair and we’ll take care of the rest!
Wardrobe Styling & Pre-Session Chat
After hair and makeup, we’ll look at everything you brought and pull pieces from the client closet if you’d like. You do NOT have to bring anything! We have a wide selection of lingerie, robes, bodysuits, shoes and accessories in sizes XS to 5X
Once we’ve chosen your looks, we’ll chat about your comfort level, any injuries or concerns, and and I’ll give you a quick rundown on my coaching style to prepare you for the day.
Remember, you are always in control. You can skip any pose or outfit at any time.
The Photoshoot
You do NOT need to know what you’re doing. That’s my job.
I’ll coach you through every pose, expression, hand placement, and angle while making sure your hair, wardrobe, and every little detail looks amazing.
Your Reveal Appointment
This is honestly my favorite part.
About 1-2 weeks after your photoshoot, we’ll meet back in the studio (or Zoom if you came from out of town) to see your images for the first time.
Watching you geek out over your photos and start seeing yourself the way I see you never gets old.
We’ll look over all of your images in color and black and white, you’ll choose your favorites, design your album together, and if you’d like, set up a payment plan.
YOur Images & keepsakes
Your privacy is incredibly important to me. I personally edit every image in-house, and if your collection includes an heirloom album, your images are sent only to a trusted all-female artisan team in Toronto.
At your reveal appointment, you’ll choose your favorite images from your gallery. Those same images become your high-resolution digital files.
Every collection includes professionally retouched digital images. Depending on the collection you choose it may also include a beautiful heirloom album, our signature leather polaroid keepsake, or both. Wall art is also available if you’d like to display your favorite images in your home.

Q & A
Will I get to see all of my images in both color and B&W? - Yes! Every image is shown in both color and black & white. The images you purchase are delivered digitally in both versions, and you’ll choose your favorite version for the album.
How long does it take to get my product? - You’ll leave your reveal appointment with your Polaroid keepsakes in hand. Your heirloom album is handcrafted just for you and typically arrives within 2-4 weeks.
When should I book my session? - Whenever it feels right! I’ve photographed women who booked just days before their session and others who planned for months. Either way I’ll guide you through every step so you feel completely prepared. If you have a specific date or celebration in mind, booking sooner gives you the most flexibility.
HELP! I don’t see the date I need on your calendar! - I can’t make any promises, but message me and I’ll see what I can do.
How do I book? - Click Here :-)
How do I prepare? - After booking, you’ll receive a sequence of detailed prep emails full of tips and tricks, product and wardrobe suggestions, timelines etc. And for extra assurance, I’m available via phone, text or email for any questions or concerns you have leading up to your shoot. I got you!
I have a problem area or condition I’m embarrased about. - You’re not alone. Nearly every woman I photograph has something she’s self conscious about. Whether it’s a scar, skin condition, body changes or something more personal, we’ll work together to create images that celebrate you, not your insecurities. My studio is a safe, judgement-free space where you can simply be yourself.
What about retouching? - We’ve got that covered! All retouching is done in house for your privacy. Standard retouching on every client includes light skin smoothing, blemish and bruise removal, razor burn, and other temporary imperfections. We don’t retouch stretch marks, cellulite, scars, birthmarks, or any other permanent features unless you request it. If there’s anything you’d like edited, just ask! This is your session, and you get to decide.
Do I have be nude? - Absolutely not! You’re in complete control from start to finish. We’ll discuss your comfort level before we ever start shooting, and nothing happens without your enthusiastic yes. Many clients love implied nude ,while others prefer stay fully covered. Either way, your images will be absolutely stunning.
What about wardrobe and styling? - One of my favorite parts! You don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe for beautiful images. You probably already own more than you think, and your prep guide includes ideas on what to pull from your own closet. I’ll help you style pieces you already have, and you can also borrow from my curated Client Closet featuring lingerie, robes, bodysuits, sweaters, button downs, t’s, heels, and accessories in sizes XS-5X.
What about posing? - Don’t worry. That’s my job! I’ll demonstrate every pose and coach you from head to toe, including your facial expressions, hands, even your fingertips. By the end of your session, you’ll feel like a natural.
What if I don’t want hair and/or makeup? - No problem! While professional hair and makeup are included, you’re welcome to do your own if that’s more your style. If you have naturally curly please don’t feel pressured to straighten or re-style your hair. I LOVE photographing natural curls!
Can I bring a friend? - Absolutely! You’re welcome to bring one female friend for support and encouragement. I simply ask that she helps keep the focus on you so you can get the most out of your experience.
I’m worried about my privacy. - This is a completely valid concern. Your privacy is my top priority. Every image is edited in-house, and if you order an album, it’s handcrafted by a trusted all-female team. Your online gallery is password protected, and nothing is ever shared without your written permission. What stays private is entirely up to you.
These women took a leap of faith. THIs could be yoU!
