Thank YOU!

I’m so stoked you want to have a photo session with me!

Here’s an informative booking guide that goes over the process including the photoshoot experience itself (timeline, prep etc), products, pricing, specialty sessions, and how to get on the calendar! I’ve also sent this page over to your email so you have it for safekeeping 💕

Hi, I’m Chrissy, your hype woman, biggest fan and cheerleader! Master of creating art with you as my muse that oozes effortlessly sexy vibes and has you lookin like you’ve been modeling for years! ( I really want to say “has you lookin and feeling like the true LEGIT SNACK that you are” but I’m not sure everyone will get that reference 😆)

Beauty & Boudoir are my specialties. I lump them together because really the only difference is wardrobe. In both types of sessions I will show you yourself in stunning poses that evoke emotion, beauty and sensuality.

I’m highly trained in the nuanced art of Boudoir and more importantly, the care needed in understanding different levels of body confidence, posing, comfort levels and editing. I meet you where you are. There is never any pressure. I have 7 years of experience with this unique specialty and if for any reason you don’t choose me, please seek out someone with experience! The outcome of your experience should be feeling absolutely amazing about yourself and a bad experience can do the opposite.

I truly look forward to creating THEEE most stunning images you have ever seen of yourself. Let’s goooo!

(one sec…switching to third person so the rest doesn’t sound like a brag…)

Check out the video below for a sneak peek into what the experience is like, See the faces of our hair and makeup artists Lauren and Kayla and peep the studio space, etc!

Photoshoot Day Order of Events!

It is TOTALLY normal to wake up nervous. Do. Not. Stress. Just know that when you arrive and get situated, meet the team and see and feel the space, you’ll start to feel a sense of peace. It’s a super cozy environment. We play your favorite music! You have your own private dressing room and bathroom. You call the shots. You get breaks whenever you need them. We are here to make your day magical and create art you’ll treasure forever. Just try your best to trust the process. The nerves almost always subside! I’m SO proud of you for just showing up!

Hair and Makeup - 60 to 90 min

You’ll arrive at the studio at 10am and head straight into hair and makeup with either Lauren or Kayla! I also often do hair and occasionally makeup too! I’m certified in makeup, but also really love having a top notch group of pros on my team. When you book we’ll ask for a photo of you, as well as your desired hair and makeup style. My girls are pros with ALL skin tones and provide lashes and all products needed. You just need to show up with a fresh clean face and hair that has been blown dry and we’ll take care of the rest!

Pre-Session Chat and Wardrobe - 20 to 30 min

After you’re done in hair and makeup, we’ll look at everything you brought and start pulling anything else we need from our client closet. You do NOT have to bring anything! Our client closet is fully stocked, including shoes and accessories. We wash and sanitize every item after every use, including all bedding and towels.

Once we have wardrobe and sets planned, we’ll have a little chat where you inform me of your comfort level and any injuries etc. I then give you the rundown on the lingo that I’ll be using through the day to explain poses and give direction, and inform you again that you’re in control, and anything that’s uncomfortable we skip. There are plenty of poses. No need to do anything physically or emotionally uncomfortable! The day is supposed to be FUN!

The Shoot - 2 to 3 hours

I will hold your hand every step of the way and show you examples of everything. I’ll give you all kinds of juicy tricks you can use for the rest of your life when taking photos! I’ll be making sure your hair is in place and wardrobe is on point. Some poses may feel awkward but I promise you’ll be looking effortlessly sexy. I’ll show you images on the back of the camera from time to time so you can see for yourself how smokin’ you look.

The Reveal and Ordering Appointment - 1.5 to 3 hours

This is truly my favorite part. To see you geeking out over your photos and finally realizing how gorgeous you are GIVES ME LIFE!!! This usually takes place back in the studio about 1 to 2 weeks following your shoot. We’ll look over all of your photos in color and black and white and you’ll decide which ones you want to keep forever! We’ll then design your album, pick your album color, and decide on any wall art you’d like and set up a payment plan if desired.

Q & A

Will I get to see all of my images in both color and B&W? - Yes indeed!

How long does it take to get my product? - Prints and wall art take 2-4 weeks, albums take 3-6 weeks, and digitals are instant!

I don’t want albums or wall art. Do you sell digitals? - Yes, you can buy digitals in increments as well as a full collection.

When should I book my session? - If you book the night before and have no prep, we will still have an amazing session! However if you have the time, we recommend giving yourself at least a month to prep, and we are usually booked out several months in advance, so it’s advised to get on the schedule asap, especially if it’s for a bridal or anniversary gift. And planning is half the fun!

HELP! Is there any way to get on the schedule sooner if I pay extra? - We don’t charge extra to squeeze you in. If there is a cancellation, we are more than happy to get you on the schedule sooner. First, fill out the form below and we’ll get you more info to get the ball rolling!

How do I prepare? - I’ve never done anything like this before! - We’ll send you a prep guide full of tips and tricks, product and wardrobe suggestions, timelines, even my favorite youtube stretching video! And for extra assurance, I’m available via phone, text or email for any questions or concerns you have leading up to your shoot. I got you!

What if I don’t want hair and/or makeup? -  That is totally fine! Natural shoots are my jam! I do have some requirements if you decide to do your own makeup, because the camera doesn’t like certain things, like sunscreen in foundation, or certain types of powders.

Can I bring a friend? - Yes!! You can bring one female friend as an additional hype woman!

What is dry hairstyling? - Our dry hairstyling consists of beachy waves or loose curls. We don’t do blow outs or straightening. Please come with your hair clean and blown dry, and if you want it sleek, flat ironed. If you have naturally curly hair, we LOVE rockin natural curls! Please don’t feel pressured to have your hair styled with a hot tool.

What about posing? - I have no idea what to do! - I GOT YOU! from the hairs on your head to the tips of your toes I’ll have you looking like a professional model who’s been posing for years. I’ll tell you where to look, what to do with your hands, all of that!! Don’t you worry about a thing.

What about wardrobe and styling? - Oooooh honey that’s my jam! If you don’t feel like shopping for boudoir wardrobe, let me style you! We have a client closet in sizes 0-5x and shoes, robes, accessories etc.

I have a problem area or condition I’m embarrased about. - First of all, in my 7 years photographing women in minimal wardrobe has shown me that 90% of women have some part of their body they wish they could change. My studio is a safe, judgement free zone. It’s much more common than you think to have skin conditons, sensors, colostomy bags, scars, stretch marks, cellulite, cysts, acne, dark spots, rashes, psoriasis, dandruff, the list goes on. One thing that those things don’t define is our beauty and sensuality. Please don’t let anything hold you back from such a beautiful, life changing experience.

What about retouching? - We’ve got that covered too. All retouching is done in house for your privacy. Standard retouching on every client includes overall light skin smoothing, blemish and bruise removal, inflamatory skin conditons that come and go such as psoriasis, eczema, cystic acne, razor burn, etc. What we don’t retouch without your request is stretch marks, cellulite, scars, birthmarks, etc. Anything that makes you uniquely you! We are happy to edit out anything you request, just ask! All of us are at a different place in our journey and it’s only for you to decide.

Do I have be nude? - Absolutely not! You are in full control of how you want your session to go. We talk about that via a questionnaire as well as your pre-session consult right before we start shooting. Many clients opt for implied nude which is just as breathtaking.

I’m worried about my privacy. - Absolutely valid concern! We take every precaution to keep your images safe. We edit in house and send your album design straight to an all female printing lab. Your online gallery is password protected with an email needed for entry. What you share (or allow us to share) and don’t share is entirely in your control.

I’m not really a lingerie person. - There are so many other options for wardrobe! One of my favs is a t shirt and over the knee socks! Slip dresses with slits, flannels, oversized sweaters, anything denim, or even simple bodysuits or two pc calvin klein style sets work great. Truly the most important thing is that you feel like yourself and feel good.

I don’t know if I can afford this! - We get it. Boudoir is an investment. We believe every woman should have the opportunity to have this experience which is why we offer flexible in house payment plans!
