Stripping down to your skivvies in front of a stranger (even professionals) is intimidating. How do you make clients comfortable with the experience? Is alcohol involved?
Indeed it can be! We try to be very warm and welcoming and we do provide a social and comfortable atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. We can offer wine along with a variety of other drinks and light fare, or you can bring your own favorite beverage. While you are getting your hair and make-up done with your best jams on in the background, you'll forget about any anxieties and you'll be ready to have the time of your life.
Most of the boudoir photos that we've seen show women in sexy lingerie, corsets and stockings. Do clients have to bring their own outfits or do you provide them?
Unfortunately, we currently do not provide any wardrobe or outfits. Anything from a sensual-sophisticated look, to something a little more down-and-dirty/come-and-get-me is available. I mean, who are we fooling? What man doesn't wanna see his honey in a shredded pair of black stockings and nothing else? But seriously, we have something for everyone, and we do encourage ladies to bring a few items from their own closets, to make the photos more personal. This also helps to increase their comfort level if it's their first photo shoot.
How much, um, "grooming" are most women doing before these photo shoots?
Okay, bear with us here. Unless you, personally, are still into the 70s look and like things a little more, how shall we say, 'au naturale,' we recommend shaving or waxing any area that will not be covered in a photo session. It's always best to do this a little bit before the shoot, if you have sensitive skin, to avoid razor burn or skin rash. Skin rash can be unsightly and uncomfortable. We want you to feel as beautiful, sexy and unconquerable as possible! Women who feel sexy, will behave sexier. It's science. Of course, anything that comes out looking 'unsightly' to our clients, once they see their photos, can be Photoshopped, if necessary.
