What to expect during a boudoir photo shoot…

Below we’ve detailed a typical session from start to finish, so you know what else you should expect. We hope this eases your butterflies and we are excited to hear from you!

A BOUDOIR PHOTO SHOOT WITH REVEALED STUDIOS: STEP-BY-STEP

1. When you first arrive, we’ll greet you and show you around the studio. From there we’ll take a look at your outfits. If you brought extra outfits, we’ll help you narrow it down. Before you get started in hair and makeup you’ll have time to chat with your makeup artist about what you want (or don’t want!).

2. While you’re getting ready, we’ll talk to you more about your vision for the shoot. After your makeup artist puts on the final touches, we’ll get you in your first outfit!

3. Our boudoir photography session is arranged much like an editorial fashion shoot. We want you to feel like a superstar! From hair and makeup, to wardrobe styling, to posing and direction, we’re here to create an unforgettable experience just for you. Not everyone is comfortable in the beginning, but we promise that by the end you’ll be having more fun than you expected.

4. After your shoot, we have you back to the studio within ten days to view your images. At this time you’ll make your final product choice. We want you to be blown away. We know, for many, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so we are 100% committed to exceed your expectations.

5. We know there’s a lot to think about when choosing a boudoir photographer. (In fact, we have a whole blog post dedicated to that topic.) You want your photographer to be someone who will honor and celebrate your individuality with attention to care and quality. We want to do just that for you.
