Bridal Boudoir Intimate Portraiture


Boudoir sessions are a fantastic way for anyone to create some romantic images to share with someone special. Do it just for you or as a special gift for a special someone. Some brides are choosing to create a little black book of their images for "his eyes only". This gift is always very well received by their husbands to be with many choosing to deliver the gift at the beginning of the honeymoon. Of course it would also make a great 1st anniversary gift. Or any other anniversary!



Boudoir photography can be more than just lingerie. Old fashioned pin-ups, art nude and swimsuit shoots provide alternatives. Poses and props are used to ensure that every woman feels and looks wonderful. While many women arrive at a boudoir session feeling apprehensive, when they leave, all assure me they were made comfortable and it wasn't nearly as scary as they imagined.


How it works! Make a booking and at this time we decide if you would like to use your home, my studio or a private beach or be part of a boudoir marathon at a nice motel or B & B. Before the day choose your outfits, they needn’t be expensive and remember less is more, even a white button down shirt and cute knickers can look great. If you are thinking of going nude remove any tight layers of clothing a couple of hours before the shoot (you can do nude shoots and not show very much). This is to stop any marks from your bra etc.


It can be a good idea to organise a hair appointment before your session if you colour your hair as it can't be retouched effectively in photoshop. Before the shoot you will be shown examples of images to help me get an idea of what you are thinking and this also gives us some time to relax, if at your home I will set up lighting and do some test images before we begin. Once I have an idea of the type of images you wish to create I can help you to pose and find your best angles. I am also happy to discuss any ideas you may have. I retouched your images for absolute perfection. If you are ordering a book and need it ready for a particular date allow at least 6 weeks from shoot to finished book delivery.


FAQ

 What if I want to order enlargements? Use your disc to choose which images you would like to have enlarged then the cost depends on the type of enlargement you choose. Photographic prints are reasonably priced, check my portrait pricing for more information. As an example a 20cm x 30cm print (approximately A4 size) is $30. This is a nice size to put into a frame and matt boards of any size can be professionally cut in house to fit your frame so no one else needs to see your finished print until you want them to.

 Can I bring a girl friend? Absolutely, you could both do a session and help each other through.


 Will there be anyone else involved in the shoot? Only you and me and a friend if you choose to bring one, at boudoir marathons there will also be a make up artist / hair dresser but the shoot will be just you and I.
 This isn’t just for people who look like models, this is for everyone, every woman is beautiful!
