We know there's tons of things on your mind when you're thinking about a personal healing boudoir experience! Before you book your session, read a few of our biggest boudoir photography questions.
Everyone is nervous! It is normal! You will have a great time though and when you see your gorgeous images, it will totally be worth it!
We will absolutely tell you how to pose and where to look. All you have to do is show up and have fun!
Our private townhome and studio is located right in Cheat Lake, West Virginia. A hop skip and a jump from Downtown Morgantown. We love having clients join us from all over Pittsburgh, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia!
No, we have a fabulous hair and makeup artist that works with us on every shoot. Hair and makeup are included in your retainer fee.
How far in advance should I book my session?
Don't wait to schedule a call! It's never too early to get on my schedule. I recommend that women book a shoot date at least two to four months prior to needing the finished product in-hand. We tend to book up very quickly and relatively far in advance.
All of our clients are all different sizes, ages and body types. The images you see on this website are regular women who have gained confidence through expert posing and professionally-styled hair and makeup. We'll make you look and feel like a goddess every step of the way.
Go shopping in your closet! Plan to bring in lingerie and wardrobe from your closet that makes you feel natural and real. Oversized sweaters, white button-down shirts, plaid shirts, shorts, jerseys, uniforms, cowboy hats, hard hats, and overalls are just some suggestions!
Don't stress too much about wardrobe. I could (and have!) spend the entire time shooting a client with no other wardrobe than the bed sheets and completely rock it out.
Once you've completed the booking process, you will also receive a detailed lingerie guide, welcome and preparation guides, shopping links, and more!
Yes! I especially love non-traditional shoes. Bring your favorite lace-up boots, cowboy boots, or sneakers. A classic pair of black or bold colored heels (like red or blue) as well as anything with sparkle, rhinestones, or glitter! The higher the better. I always suggest a stiletto heel for dramatic effect.
How much should I plan on spending on this?
Boudoir photography is so vulnerable so we will always want to get on the phone and truly connect with you and get to know your story, your WHY. Every client has different product desires, from albums to wall-art. Products and images are sold separately from the booking fee. Full pricing for images, albums, wall art and other products will be given on your booking call with my team. Many clients take advantage of our flexible payment plans! Most women desire the ultimate luxurious albums, they usually love 20, 30, 40, 50 even 80 images (Images are $150+ each), velvet covers, wall art, diamond blocks, and more! (I know you are seriously doubting that in your mind right now but there are so many versions of you! I want to show them all to you!) What you buy is totally up to you. You don't have to choose until you see your images on the same day as your session. You will see just how beautiful and confident you truly are after going so far out of your comfort zone!
This is for every woman. Every shape. Every body. Many of our clients are nurses, doctors, teachers, brides, moms, and EMTs who are looking for a special birthday gift to themselves, first and foremost. The bonus or the cherry on the top is being able to share it with their husbands, partners, significant others — if they deserve it!
The art of our makeup services is showcasing the masterpiece in you. It may look like a lot of makeup when you get it done on the day of the shoot, but it will look just right in-camera. Remember that some of the makeup naturally “falls away” in the natural light, the processing, and retouching of your images.
We love offering a full-day experience! We never like to rush and don't want you to feel rushed either. We start at 9AM and end between 5 - 6PM, sometimes later. We advise not to plan anything in the evening because we do not know what time you will be leaving.
No worries about “posing,” Natasha will guide you through this process and make you look and feel your best during the shoot. She has developed a posing system that looks amazing with every woman! She will also demonstrate poses for you throughout the session as well.
Yes! Of course! The gift is the bonus or cherry on top of the sundae! Often our partners see us already as beautiful. The hardest part is seeing ourselves that way.
The age ranges of our client base varies from twenty-one to sixty-eight years old. We welcome women of all ages to come enjoy the experience of celebrating YOU.
Our goal is always to utilize the most flattering light, angles, and poses so that tons of post-processing isn't necessary. However we do make the occasional "tuck" here and there, and we also perform skin edits as needed (on things like under eye circles, blemishes, bruises, tan lines, and noticeable cellulite).
We are committed to capturing who you are, not who you think you should be. You will find our edits do not change you, but simply lightly enhance. We also have many clients choose no retouching at all.
We recommend albums and wall art. Albums are the obvious choice for displaying a good number of images and telling the story of your transformative experience! In addition to that, 95% of my clients find themselves with at least one big statement piece of wall art (canvas or metal) for their master bedroom, master bathroom, or master walk in closet. Hand in hand, the album and wall art are the best of both worlds.
Most clients pay in full on the day of their session, and receive their the products within seven to nine weeks of their session. Luxury albums are created in Portugal and so worth the wait!
Some clients choose to enroll in a in a three to six payment plan and receive their products after their payment plan has been completed. All artwork is custom made, just for you.
It is totally up to you! Most clients love to inspire other women to have this powerful experience as well! During the session itself, we often take before/afters, marketing videos, and behind the scenes images and videos to show the amazing experience!
However, I completely understand if you or your significant other might be uncomfortable sharing your images. Therefore, we do have a few select clients who choose to completely keep their images 100% private.
The bottom line is: I will honor whatever level of privacy you would like. We will go over this decision after your session. We never share images or videos unless we are given permission.
We recommend you come alone for the best experience, as the best photos come from the one-on-one interaction between you and the photographer. We are an all-female staffed studio, and the only people present will be the photographer and hair and makeup artist.
We do offer couples shoots for returning clients only.
You're in good hands and you deserve this! Boudoir is so personal so we always get on a quick phone chat with every woman interested! This way we can answer all of your questions! And we can talk about pricing and the full experience.
