10 most frequently asked questions about Boudoir Photography
Hey girl, don't worry, we've all been there. I understand that you're nervous, but you should know that EVERYONE is nervous. That's why I wanted to create this Blog post for you, answering the Most Frequently Asked Questions. This way, you'll be more familiar with the process and how things work here at Coffee and Boudoir.
Ok, so here's the Top 10 List of the Most Frequently Asked Questions that we get from you ladies:
#1 Most asked question: “Will you be sharing my images?”
Our clients typically prefer to keep their images private. The women's images you see on our site and brochures have been shared with us with the understanding that we will only use them to show other women what their experience could be like. If you decide that you want to share a few of your own images, we take this very seriously and will have you sign a paper specifying which ones we have permission to share.
Many of our ladies have jobs in industries like nursing or teaching, where privacy is of utmost importance. They appreciate our discretion and we would never do anything to violate their trust.
:#2. ‘Can I just lose 10 lbs first?
And I really hope you Photoshop!’
This almost made the #1 most Frequently Asked Question. LOL!
Listen, girl! I can do way more with lighting and angles than 6 months at the gym can do for
you. I know that you want to look your best, but that is the difference between just getting
photos taken and getting photos done by a true artist. Jen is an award winning Published
Boudoir Photographer. Even other photographers always compliment me on my work.
My Boudoir shooting style is light and airy andI get take a few dramatic images to make you
look your best. I never change your body shape in post production and my photoshop on
images is extremely minimal just to give it a luxurious and professional look.
I promise you: you are beautiful just the way you are. My mission is to show you the beauty that is ALREADY there; NOT 10 years ago, NOT 10 lbs from now, right now! when ladies leave the session, they already feel different, beautiful and more confident. BUT, when they see their images, it’s a game-changer!
I’ve had girls giggling during the Viewing Session and being like: ‘NO way, that’s my booty?!!!’ and I’m like: ‘yes, girl!!!!’ and I have had the other extreme, where she just looks over at me with tears in her eyes. THAT my friend means that she finally sees her beauty! And THAT is our one and only mission. The Boudoir Studioexperience is a step towards your self-acceptance journey, and that is why I love Boudoir so so much!!!
#3. Do I have to be naked?
Not at all.
One of the most important things to us is that you are comfortable and that you have an amazing experience reflecting you or your relationship! Everyone is different in what makes them comfortable, so we let our client customize her Boudoir Studio experience (some go extremely conservative and some go risque, and everything in between). The Phone consultation will help determine this and help us all be ready for your shoot.
:#4. What do I wear and how many outfits do I bring?
And what if I don’t like lingerie?
The most important thing is that when you look at the images, you feel like it’s you. Some women don’t likelingerie and that is okay. We’ll plan for what is YOU in our phone consultation.
Planning it can be a little time-consuming on your end, but will be so worth it, trust me! We usually suggest 3 outfits ,bring something for the shower scene (either a t-shirt, crop top or tank top)
Make sure to check out our Blog post on The Top 10 Items to Wear at a Boudoir Session; it helps so many ofour girls plan things out, but you also get a phone consultation with me (Jennifer), so don’t worry too much,we’ll make sure your vision comes to life!
:#5. Where do I shop or get my Hair & Makeup done?
When you book your session with us, I’ll be sending you a Prep guide so that you know where to best shopfor your body type, and you’ll also be in Coffee and Boudoir VIP group, which is an amazing resource, youyou can even ask the other ladies questions in there.
And you guessed it, your Hair/Makeup is included in the Boudoir Session Fee! We gotcha covered! Whenyou arrive, our amazing Professional Hair & Makeup artist will greet you with your favourite music andpreferred beverage and she will do a small consultation after seeing your outfits.
The best part is, our Makeup Artist is very familiar with my shooting style and will make sure that your
makeup looks perfect for these light airy images, so that you don't look like you have racoon eyes, LOL.
#6. I don’t know how to act sexy.
How will you make me look like the girls on your Instagram or Facebook posts?
With a little coaching on posing, you wouldn’t believe how amazing you will look!
Believe it or not, just about every woan comes in and tells me they dont know how to be sexy and feel
awkward. But when thry finally 'let go' and got out of her own head and just stepped into who she IS, look at the final result!
#7. This has been on my bucket list for a long time.
I want to do it, but do you have payment plans?
At your same day viewing, you select your favourite Images to purchase and choose your Products, which will become amazing pieces of art for you.
For most women, this is a once in a lifetime; they finally did it! They did their hair, their nails, the waxing, the outfits, and did the shoot, so they might as well get what they really want.
Payment plans are available if you opt for a Collection that you really want, but need to make a couple
payments to assure you can get it. Because I know that it’s more than a just Collection for you... they are
your confidence pieces and reminders of your experience & your beauty, as well as a step closer to selfacceptance!
:
#8. Do you offer digitals & albums?
Yes, girl, we have amazing products. We have digitals, but I promise you that there is nothing better than
prints, albums and wall art.
Make sure you check out our Blog on the Albums & Products to see pictures of all the items which will
become amazing customized gifts or incredible reminders that you are a stunning and confident woman!
#9. I’m getting nervous.
I’m gonna do it, but how do I calm my nerves?
When you have time as well, make sure you check out the Blog Post Why We Shoot Boudoir and you will get to know the story behind the studio, as well as get to know us better. Our clients usually spend a ton of time on our blogs and in our Private Facebook VIP Group before their experience. So by the time the shoot happens, they feel like they already know us. That helps alot! Other than that, just let go! Just BE YOU! I’ll coach you through the rest!
#10. I noticed that you shoot on:
Mondays, Wednesdays,Fridays and Saturdays at 9am. Why?
We usually book clients in the studio on Monday, Wednesday,Friday or Saturday mornings. We always get you in at 9 a.m. so that once 11 a.m. hits and we are ready to shoot, the natural light is beautiful and dreamy coming through the studio! The studio is actually designed in such a way to have the perfect light and make you look amazing!
