Most women don’t arrive at my studio with a master plan. They arrive with a little curiosity and a sentence like, “I can’t believe I’m actually doing this.”

Maybe you’re celebrating a birthday, marking a milestone, stepping into a new chapter, or saw something on social media, or you are simply looking for a way to shake things up in your own life.

Whatever your reason, the journey starts when you stop wondering and decide to do the thing.

A boudoir session is a day to get styled, laugh, play and have fun while creating photographs that feel like the most amazing version of you.

Here is how it works:

01. - You reach out

Tell me a little about you and what has you curious.

You do not need to know what you will wear, how to pose, which products you want, or even exactly when you want to have your session. We’ll send you all the practical details about the experience, pricing, artwork, payment options, and next steps.

Reaching out does not commit you to booking. It is simply how the conversation begins.

02. - Choose how to begin

If you still have questions or would just like to get to know me and the studio first, you can schedule a private 15-minute phone consultation. I will ramble and talk about books and answer any questions you have. It will be a great time! But, all of the practical information is probably best presented in the information guide that you’ll get by email after after completing the get info form.

In that email, you’ll also have a link to reserve a session online whenever your ready. Once you are booked, we’ll schedule your personal planning consultation and choose the session date together.

03. - We plan it together

Every session has certain similarities. I’ve been a boudoir photographer for over 10 years and definitely have my personal style, that being said not every woman is the same, so, before your session we will have a private consultation to help me get to know your personality, comfort, style, and the kind of photographs you want to create.

During that consultation, we’ll talk about wardrobe, hair and makeup, how to prepare, look at inspiration images, talk through any concerns you have, and all the little details that make the experience feel personal. We can meet at the studio or virtually if you are outside Northwest Arkansas.

We’ll also look at examples of finished artwork, because this where your photos really come to life, in the albums and artwork we design with your photos.

04. - Your session

This is the most fun part! My clients often say it felt like spending the day with friends. We laugh, talk, play with different ideas, and somewhere in the middle of it, create lovely photographs.

On your session day we will begin with professional hair and makeup (our makeup artists are beautiful, amazingly talented women) . Then, I’ll guide you through the entire session every pose, expression, hand placement, breath, and movement. You don’t to be a model, you don’t need to know what to do, and you don’t need any practice or experience beforehand. In fact, the best photos are made when women let go, follow the instruction and trust me to help them look their very best on camera.

Plan on approximately three to four hours at the studio.

05. - You see everything

Five to ten days later, you’ll return for your private image reveal.

Seeing the photographs for the first time is its own experience. Some women laugh. Some go quiet. Some immediately ask to see one again.

The lovely surprise is not that you suddenly became somebody else.

It is realizing, “Oh. That really is me.”

You’ll choose your favorite photographs and decide how you would like to enjoy them—as an album, folio box, digitals, wall art, or a combination designed around you. I’ll guide you through the choices and handle the details from there.

Photographs, albums, and finished artwork are purchased separately at your reveal appointment.
