What is Boudoir Photography??? January 7, 2011
I’ve had a LOT of people ask me what EXACTLY is Boudoir photography??
I found a wonderful article on the internet that explains it quite well:
Boudoir & Intimate Photography
by Tammy Warnock
What Is A Boudoir Session?
Boudoir sessions are tasteful photos that hint at sexiness. Every person has their own idea of what sexy is as well as what they are comfortable with. These sessions are cute, fun, sexy, flirty and even a bit sensual all the while maintaining your comfort level.
Hair & Make-up
Many ladies are good at doing their own hair and make-up but there are plenty of options available. Salons and department store make-up counters are good resources. Be sure to let whoever you hire know that you’re having a photo shoot done as your make-up will need to be a bit darker than you normally wear it.
Body Image & Weight
Most women (myself included) don’t have bodies like a super model but that doesn’t mean that we can’t have gorgeous, sexy photos as well. A good photographer will know just how to highlight your assets best while disguising the parts of you that you’re self conscious about. Just remember… your significant other loves you just the way you are.
Pick A Theme
Fashion inspired – Your sexiest outfits. Career inspired – Business Suits, Police Uniforms, Firefighter Turnouts, Doctor Coats, Construction Belts, etc…
40s Pinup is back in style and is oh so sexy. Several retailers on the web carry pinup inspired clothing.
Clothing Choices
Bring clothing that you feel sexy and beautiful in. Bras, panties, corsets, teddies, stockings, tank tops, booty shorts, sports jerseys & men’s business shirts are all popular. Don’t forget to bring accessories for each of your outfits as well as your sexiest shoes.
Modesty & Nudity
You don’t have to take your clothes off to be sexy. Clothed, partially clothed, hinted nudity and fully nude can all be sexy. Let your photographer know what you’re comfortable showing in your photos and trust them to keep the parts you want hidden to stay that way.
Retouching
Many photographers include retouching with their portrait prints and albums but be sure to ask how much is included with your session. (Our Touch ups are Amazing–at NO additional charge)
Privacy
Privacy is a concern due to the intimate nature of boudoir sessions. All boudoir images are kept in strict confidence and no images will be shown without permission from the client in writing. We use only professional labs and album companies that safeguard the privacy of our client’s images. Make sure your photographer has a similar policy. (We Do)
Girlfriends Sessions
You and three to four of your best girlfriends can get together and do your sessions at the same time. These can be done at the studio, your home or in a local hotel and are a guaranteed giggle-fest. Arrange for someone to come and do your hair and make-up, do your own or do each others. Each of you will be photographed individually as you are dressed (or undressed) and ready. Be sure to have some food and drinks handy as it can make for a long but very fun day. At the end when everyone is dressed I take a group shot to commemorate the session.
Couples sessions
Some photographers (but not all) offer couples sessions. These sessions are romantic, sensual, playful, fun and always tasteful. Typically these sessions show you and your significant other cuddling, jumping on the bed and chasing each other around the room like playful kids in addition to photos of each of you individually. I let my clients who are interested in this type of session know the perfect time to do it is when they plan a weekend ‘away’ at a local hotel. No dishes to be done, no dinner to be made, no kids or pets needing attention – just the two of you away from all of life’s distractions for a photo session and a weekend of fun.
Where to do your session
Your session can be done at your photographer’s studio, your home, a local hotel, bed and breakfast and even outside in a private or secluded area. Be sure to discuss your options with your photographer.
Tips for the morning of your session
Drink lots of water and wear loose fitting clothing. Avoid tight fitting undergarments as they are the most likely to leave elastic pressure lines on your skin.

Fall Mini Sessions: Nov 2010 October 29, 2010
::Announcing Fall Mini Session dates & details::
I’m looking forward to another great Mini Session event, and a beautiful location!
Call or email to reserve your session
706.765.7999
$50 fee is required at booking to secure your spot.
Cash, Check, or Paypal
Once your appointment has been reserved and paid for, you will receive an email with more details about the sessions (what to expect, what to wear, where to go when you arrive, etc.)

{What is a Mini Session}
Mini sessions are quick and casual. The perfect way to get an updated family portrait, capture a special phase in your child’s life, or just because! These mini sessions can be used for anything you’d like…baby, family, siblings, engagement, couple, etc. A great way to get images for your 2010 holiday cards!! *These sessions are for up to five people. There is a fee of $10, for each additional person.
Several back-to-back sessions will be booked on this day, so it is important that you are on time for your appointment.
{How are these different from regular sessions}
Mini sessions differ from my full sessions in many ways…
My full sessions are around two hours, and are personal to you and your family. They take place in your home, or at a location of your choice.
The typical gallery from a full session is 60-100 images.
{Your Mini Session Images}
These 25 minute mini sessions will result in approximately 10 fully enhanced images. However, the number of images may vary with each session.
Please remember that only the best images will be enhanced for your online gallery and CD, to keep your selection process easier.
All client galleries will be posted within two weeks of your session.
Once your images have been loaded, you will receive an email with your gallery link. Your gallery will remain active for two weeks. All print orders must be placed in this time.
Included in your package are TWO high resolution digital images. You will pick out your favorite two from the gallery, and you will own the printing rights to these two images.
Just think, you can use your favorite print company to make your Christmas cards!
{Mini Session Location}
The address, map and directions will be sent with your booking confirmation
