Valentine's Special #2 " Beautiful Romance" Couples Special !!

Valentine's Boudoir Special !!!! Jan 25th - Feb 6th

What is Boudoir you ask???? ........

{Boudoir{ [boo-dwahr]- noun~ a womans' bedroom or private sitting room.

What is Boudoir?

It is a classy photoshoot with a tasteful hint of sexiness. There can be many elements of your shoot--Fun, cute, sexy, flirty.....

Hair & Make-up?

All clients will be personally responsible for their own hair, make-up, manicures, pedicures..... (if you wax your eyebrows be sure to do that 24 hours in advance in order to avoid redness and puffiness in your photos). Make your eyes POP with fake eyelashes!!

Choose a Theme

Because you will want to place your photos into a book you may want to choose a theme and have props (simple props) ahead of time--I do not provide props or clothing!!

Nudity?



You don’t have to take your clothes off to be sexy. Clothed, partially clothed, & hinted nudity can all be sexy. I do not do full nudity.


Privacy?


Privacy is a concern due to the intimate nature of boudoir sessions. All boudoir images are kept in strict confidence and no images will be shown without permission from the client in writing. We use only professional labs and album companies that safeguard the privacy of our client’s images.



Where do we do the shoot?


All of these shoots are done in the comfort & privacy of your own home. Some clients may want to rent a nice hotel room (make sure the room has enough space for lighting and the manager knows what is going go--we may have to get a release from the hotel)


Tips for the morning of your shoot


Avoid heavy eating and foods that will make you appear bloated (but DO eat). Wear loose fitting clothing..tight fitting clothing can leave pressure marks on your skin.


***For Just the Shoot the cost is $75.00...and let him decide what he wants !!!!!

GUYS- you can purchase a gift certificate for the package that you like and she can contact me to set up her session appointment !
