How do I get started?
Contact me by e-mail or at the phone number listed below and we will discuss the specifics of what you would like me to do for you. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll work with you from the beginning to the end. You or somebody very special to you already has some kind of fantasy in mind; my real job is to take the picture in your head and turn it into a special photograph.

I don't look like a lingerie model; I'm too short/tall/heavy/skinny/etc.
Should I even be thinking about boudoir photography?
Absolutely! Boudoir photography is about your fantasy and not artificial expectations about artificial women. Anybody can see a lingerie catalog; only your special somebody gets to see your boudoir photographs.

Can nude photography be part of a boudoir session?
You're the boss; I will photograph you in any way that you desire. The limits of a session are determined by you. So whether you want to pose nude, semi-nude or fully clothed, it's your decision. We can discuss the entire scope of your boudoir photo session long before we even begin so there will no questions by the time we start. There may be limitations placed on us if we are in a public location, but other than that, I'm here to help you capture your fantasy.
 

Why don't you usually use a studio?
I like to connect your fantasy with your reality; a studio setting has little to do with your reality. Typically I'll work in a client's home but I will work in other locations as well. I do have a hot tub and a small studio available but usually clients like a familiar location that can help make them feel at ease in front of the camera.

How long will the photography take?
Prior to the actual session, preparation may take about an hour — your wardrobe & makeup, setting up my photographic equipment, lighting, etc. Once we start the actual photography, it depends primarily upon your comfort level in front of the camera. As a general guideline, from start to finish, it would be safe to devote two hours to a "one hour" boudoir photo session.

What about wardrobe and hair & makeup?
Wardrobe is left mostly up to you. If you like, I can offer suggestions. Some clients bring several different outfits to a session and, together, we decided which one will work best. I also leave hair and makeup to you. Again, if you need suggestions, I can help you with what works best in front of the camera and what works best for a particular outfit.

Do you provide photo retouching?
Basic retouching on any ordered prints is included with your photo session fee. More advanced retouching and photo manipulation will be quoted on an individual basis. Example1  Example 2

Are my photographs going to end up on this website?
No! Nor will I sell them to another website, magazine, or any other kind of publishing. Your privacy and your trust are both very important to me and your photos will never be published without your specific permission.


What will this cost?
The costs will range depending upon how much you want to have done. While I prefer to work out personalized pricing for each client, I recognize that my package pricing can help guide you. For more specific information, I encourage you to contact me and we can discuss your options.

Can I purchase a boudoir photography package as a gift for someone else?
A photo session and prints can be a wonderful gift for someone. The only caveat I offer is that, because of the sensitive nature of boudoir photography, the session itself should not be a surprise. For more specific information, I encourage you to contact me and we can discuss your options.

Is there an age restriction?
Because of the sensitive nature of boudoir photography, these services are limited to people who are at least 18 years of age; I may request that you provide proof of age. There is, of course, no upper limit.
