We touched on this briefly above but will explain this in more detail here.

When we say we will guide you every step of the way, we truly mean it. Much to the amusement of everyone who comes in, I actually do the poses for you so you can see how to do it. I really should do a Youtube video of it; it would probably go viral as a funny video.

We no longer sell traditional paid gift certificates — and here’s why.

Over the years, what we’ve learned is that a boudoir experience is deeply personal. It’s not just a photoshoot — it’s a vulnerable, confidence-building experience that works best when the person being photographed has personally chosen it for themselves.

Because of this, we now only book sessions after speaking directly with the person who will be photographed. This allows us to ensure we’re the right fit for each other and that she feels genuinely excited, comfortable, and ready.

We’ve found that surprise gift certificates, while generous and well-intentioned, don’t always create the best experience if the recipient hasn’t had that initial conversation with us first.

If you would love to gift this experience to someone special, we’re absolutely open to doing it in a collaborative way. We’re happy to arrange a three-way call or connect directly with her to answer questions and make sure it feels aligned before anything is booked.

Our priority is always protecting the experience — and making sure it’s something she truly wants and feels confident saying yes to.

When you book a boudoir session with us, we reserve an entire day just for you, including scheduling a professional hair and makeup artist to ensure you look and feel your best. Because of this, we require a $200 reservation fee to hold your session date and time.

Your $200 reservation fee will be fully refunded if you decide not to purchase anything after your session. If you do choose to invest in artwork from your session, the $200 will be applied as a credit toward your order.

We’ll go over all the details with you when you book to ensure you feel comfortable and confident about your experience.

Short answer - Yes.

This is where we put the final polish on the photos so they are ready for production so they look awesome.

We also edit out things like pimples, even out skin tone if there are tan lines, fix stray hair, and remove any blemishes such as a rash or a bruise from your latest visit to paintball or playing netball.

We will also get your feedback when you choose your photos as to any editing requests you may have.

Yes, of course. Confidentiality and privacy are assured.

We would never dream of sharing anyone's photos without their express consent.

We do not provide underwear for obvious hygiene reasons. But we do provide everything else. We have a nice selection of tulles, dressing gowns, jewellery and other accessories.

Once you book your date, we will send you our handy dandy preparation guide for a boudoir lingerie photoshoot.

Absolutely yes. We have done MANY plus-size boudoir photography sessions.

We know how to photograph and pose to flatter. We also have a collection of tulles and dressing gowns, and various other clothing outfits so that you get the most out of your boudoir photography experience.

Yes, we do a lot of nude photography. We do not display many of those photos on this site for obvious confidentiality reasons.

We lean more towards tasteful nudes or “nude art photography”.

We can either plan a nude-only photo session or include it as part of your boudoir photography experience.

Bridal boudoir we typically done in the months before the wedding. We feel it is a little different than a “standard” boudoir photography session. It is usually softer and lighter and leans more towards a beauty shoot, emphasising the grace and beauty of a bride-to-be.

It is a beautiful gift for your future husband or wife and is a wonderful testament to who you are right now before the exciting changes that marriage brings.

This is something we do on request quite often. We feel there is a fine line between tasteful and artistic photos in this genre and what is essentially lewd photos. We do not publically display these photos for privacy reasons , but we can discuss this further if it is something you are interested in.
