The Experience

What the Day Looks Like

Every step, from the first message to the album in your hands. None of this should be a surprise.

A Studio Designed Exactly for Boudoir

High ceilings, wood beams, chandeliers and brick, and more than one set to move between — so a single session gives you photographs that do not all look like they were taken in the same corner.

It is a private studio, by appointment only. For the hours you are here it is yours: no waiting room, no one else booked after you, nobody walking through. Just the two of us, good light, and a playlist you picked.

Included

What Comes With Every Session

Professional Hair and Makeup

At a local salon before your session, by someone who does this for a living. You do not need to arrive ready and you do not need to book it separately — your artist and the salon address come to you once you book.

The Client Wardrobe

A full wardrobe here for you to borrow from, so you are not shopping for something you will wear once, and a styling guide before the day. Bring what you love if you have it; pull from mine if you do not.

The Studio Itself

High ceilings, wood beams, chandeliers, and several sets to work through in one session — brick and candlelight, the gilt mirror under the windows, green velvet, the library wall.

Professional Posing, Head to Toe

Where your chin goes, what your hands are doing, where your weight sits. I show you the pose myself and talk you through it, for the whole session. You will never be left standing there guessing.

Step by step

How It All Works

  1. Inquire

    Send me a message and I will send you the Session Guide — the studio, the experience, what a session includes and where pricing starts, all in one place. Read it in your own time, with no one waiting on an answer.

  2. Fifteen minutes

    Consultation Call

    A short call — fifteen minutes at the most. We go over the details and I answer anything the guide did not. If it feels right, we get your session on the calendar, choose your collection and set up its interest-free payment plan.

  3. Before the Session

    Prep guides arrive by email in the weeks before your session: what to wear, what to bring, how to prepare, what to expect on the day. You will not be left to work any of it out on your own.

  4. Two to three hours

    Session Day

    Hair and makeup at the salon first, then your session at the studio. Your session day experience will last 2–3 hours on average.

  5. 7–14 business days later

    Image Reveal

    We go through your images together for the first time over Zoom, 7–14 business days after your session. You choose which ones you want to keep and how you want them — and you order them at that same appointment.

    You are not sent a link and left to work it out alone. It is most women’s favorite part of the whole thing.

  6. Product Delivery

    Your digital images are yours the moment the reveal ends. Albums, wall art and anything else printed are made to order and arrive at your door within 6 weeks of that appointment.
