Our clients include women of all ages, sizes and walks of life and life experiences.

Diane will stay with you from beginning of the photo session until the end.  

You will be shown all of the secrets and posing techniques to ensure that you look like a professional model.  And, after a short while you will begin to feel that level of confidence. EXAMPLE

 

Can a boudoir photography session be combined with other photographic needs?

YES!  During a boudoir photography session, some people go further and have a classic portrait photography session taken to have pictures for family, friends, gifts, web site or employment needs. A growing number of professional women are posing for photographs that will end up on book jackets, business cards, internet dating sites, or on desks or other social media needs. Some even bring a pet with them. Many of these sessions can combine the dramatic impact of portrait photography with glamour photography to create a stunning image that captures attention and stands out from the crowd.

 

Are there any men who take these pictures or work on your staff for a boudoir photography session?

NO! We have an all female staff. We have found that our clients are most comfortable with this arrangement in a boudoir photography session and in glamour photography sessions. Our goal is not just to make you look fabulous, but to make sure you are happy, comfortable and have the experience of a lifetime.

 

Is everyone a little nervous before the glamour photography or boudoir photography session begins?

YES. Most people are not professional models, and most people are not photogenic. We expect that you will be a bit nervous and that’s okay. We like to work with that energy. By the time your hair and make-up are done, you will be quite relaxed and excited. Daphne &  Diane have wonderful fun and relaxation techniques that they may uses during intimate glamour photography and sensual boudoir photography sessions. The average response is “Boy, I did not expect to be so relaxed and have so much fun”.

 

Do I bring my own clothing?

YES. During your consultation Diane will go over everything thoroughly.  She will give you suggestions about cutting carbs, ugh, just for a few days before the session (it does make a difference), skin care advice, and clothing, jewelry and accessory suggestions.  You may want to bring your loved one’s favorite outfits, something he bought for you or something that relates to his or your job, hobby or particular interest. Our studio will supplement your wardrobe with satins, silks, drapes, boas, lingerie, accessories and playful prop. EXAMPLE
