FAQ.
Magic resides within our walls and I can’t wait to welcome you. Your luxury boudoir experience takes place in one of my gorgeous, natural-light studios in Abbotsford, BC both of which are conveniently located just minutes from HWY 1 Sumas Exit. Just like we co-create all aspects of your experience, we can decide which studio best represents your style when we have our consultation phone call.
Every body is a boudoir body. I believe intimate portraiture should be inclusive. We all have things we love and don’t love about our bodies and body happiness isn’t a prerequisite to book! Posing, lighting and coaching for emotion for everyBODY is my specialty and many of my clients are moms, between the ages of 35-55.
I believe in creating both art and time together with intention. For that reason, I recommend reserving your time in my luxury boutique studio 3-6 months in advance. I accept a very limited number of sessions per month and my calendar is available for booking 8 months out. If you have a specific date in mind farther out than 8 months, please contact me to see my current availability.
YAY! We cannot wait to connect with you! Reach out to us via our form here as soon as you are ready. We will go over all of the information, pricing, and availability with you so we can get you on our calendar ASAP. Your date will be locked in as soon as you pay the non-refundable Session Fee retainer of $697+gst. We can’t wait to welcome you to our luxurious space!
Your journey is your own and the time it takes may vary. Hair and makeup take approximately 1.5 hours and then we can shoot approximately 90 min to 2 hours with breaks in between to change outfits, refresh ourselves and prepare the next set. Sometimes we take longer if there’s travel or setup required or if we become inspired and get swept away. It’s best to book until 3 pm at the latest, just in case. If you need to leave sooner, just let us know and we will keep you on track for the rest of your day’s commitments!
Your investment for this 4 hour boutique boudoir experience starts at $697+gst. That includes professional hair and makeup styling, red carpet access to our incredible client wardrobe and a memorable photoshoot with full posing assistance that many of our clients describe as “life-changing”. When our in studio time is done, we will schedule a private viewing and ordering session where you get to see all of your images on the big screen and feel like the goddess you are.
The session fee does not include your images (which are ordered separately at your big reveal). We offer Collections of curated products or you can order A La Carte - your order is as custom as your photography experience. Our wall art/prints start at $450, albums and folios start at $1500. Our Collections are beautiful and start at $1497.
YES! Prepare to be pampered! I have an amazing team of professional hair + makeup artists and it is a complimentary service included in your session fee! Makeup includes false lashes and a sense of empowerment! It’s an ideal way to transition into this time of transformation, setting an intention for how you want to show up and connecting with joy with the people who will be supporting you through your session.
Bring the outfits you’ve selected that make you feel amazing and we can supplement that from our client wardrobe if need be. You need to bring 1 nude thong and 1 black thong (and the magic that makes you special). That is it! The thongs are an added layer of protection that you wear under our Client Wardrobe. Thigh highs, fishnet stockings or an off the shoulder sweater are also great choices to make your images special so bring those too if you’re inspired by those ideas.
You are radiant just the way you are (and we really love our luxury linens!) Please, NO spray tans or tanning lotions 4-6 weeks before session!! It stains our white bedding, fabrics and carpets, and it does not photograph well especially in skin creases. We also discourage the use of tanning beds 2-3 weeks prior to your session. If you love a sunkissed look, we can always “warm” your skin tone in our editing process but with the way we photograph you, you won’t even need it.
Absolutely! We have impeccable taste and would love to help guide your wardrobe choices to celebrate and accentuate the abundance you bring to the table. Sexy is every size so we have a full client closet ranging from XS-5X. We also help you out with wardrobe consultation and styling so you can shop for your own pieces! Sometimes a sheet, fabric or nude is just as beautiful to wear - let’s connect and imagine together.
Absolutely! All of my clients are REAL WOMEN, just like you! You don’t have to work as a model to get professional results. Posing is an art and I’m your artist. I take care of the posing right down to your fingertips and I will show you how to do it. By the end of your session, you will feel more confident getting in front of any camera!
Good things come to those who wait and some amazing art is heading your way when you place your order. After your products are paid in full and given your full approval, it typically takes about 3-4 weeks, however some products can take up to 8 weeks. The time to craft your masterpiece is why I suggest planning your session well in advance - I want to make sure you have your heart’s desire when you want it most.
Absolutely not! Your secrets are safe with me - privacy is of the upmost importance. I only share images that my clients sign a release giving me permission. What that looks like can vary - there are different levels of sharing and your face doesn’t have to be included. You can be anonymous AND glorious.
Sometimes life gets in the way of magic and we understand that. If a date no longer works, we’re happy to reschedule your shoot. We do offer one complimentary reschedule when given 60 days notice to more your session, 30-59 days will incur a $150 rescheduling fee (first request) and any less than 30 days notice incurs a $250 rescheduling fee and more depending on the dates. Please see contract for further information. Reschedules must be held within 365 days of the original scheduled session, or the next available opening based on our availability.
We hope you understand these policies are in place due to the limited sessions we accept and how much business we do not accept because of our exclusive bookings. We commit to making every session as important and special as each of our muses and book that entire day for you!
Your products and albums only go to print with your approval and we make sure your products arrive as ordered. We entrust our artistry to only the highest quality vendors to ensure everything is delivered just as you desire. Because your photography is custom, the session retainer and the products you order are non-refundable.
