Frequently Asked Questions

  • Safety is the bare minimum. You need to feel welcomed and comfortable for the pictures to show the real you. We operate at your speed and within your pre-determined boundaries. At the end of the day, we are creating art together.

  • It’s easy! Just send me an email and tell me a bit about your vision, your why, and your desired timeline. I’ll guide you the rest of the way.

  • This question often gets asked in the form of, “why are you a man photographing boudoir?”.

    First, I also welcome men to step in front of my camera.

    The real reason I got into boudoir was because of how personal it is. You get to capture someone who is also capturing something. Not always, but often, the humans that step in front of my lens for a boudoir session are looking to amplify or recapture the confidence. It’s an amazing thing to see when the photographs that I take can reignite that sparkle in your eye.

    So, I guess what makes me different is my artistic eye, attention to detail and a decade of honing my craft. Because every photographer that offers boudoir should offer the same base of safety, understanding and discretion.

  • My boudoir sessions are laid out in an easy, no-fluff package format, with add-ons simply being hair and/or makeup. Send me an email to learn more.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. I’m here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and make it as effortless as possible on your end. Oh, and we like to laugh during our shoots. I’ve heard it’s the best medicine.

  • Absolutely! Many feel most comfortable in their own spaces. I show up with my camera and my lighting and we make the same magic we would anywhere else.

    And no, you don’t have to live in a magazine-worthy home. I’m skilled in finding the angles that we need and eliminating the unsightly things.

  • The quick answer is 100% yes!

    Just be sure your friend is supportive. I’m talking BFF for life type of friend. If they make you feel good about yourself and are always there to support you, bring them along!

    On the same note, your significant other is more than welcome too.

  • I get this a lot. You should definitely take into account any reservations your s.o may have.

    With that being said, if you really want to shoot with me, invite them along. They can see firsthand how professional our sessions are while still maintaining a light and fun atmosphere.
