1. Introduction: What's your story?
The real reason I picked up a "big girl" camera for the first time was because I wanted really good pictures of my family anytime I wanted. When the world shut down for Covid, I was so upset about losing human interaction and one of the ways I learned to cope with it was through diving head first into photography. As I learned about photography, I realized that I wanted more than just great photos of my family; I wanted to create art. Not only did I want to create art, I also wanted to build relationships with humans and show other humans a version of themselves that they don't always get to see. A version that has always existed, but may not be as appreciated or accepted. Boudoir photography became my passion and I realized, fairly quickly, that I was able to gift an experience to other humans that was like no other experience they have ever known.
2. What is your experience shooting boudoir?
I've been shooting boudoir for a little over three years. Boudoir photography is my only focus and my specialty.
3. Where will the photo shoot take place?
The majority of the boudoir session take place in my home studio. My home studio offers a private, comfortable location for your shoot. You will have your own changing area and bathroom and there are multiple rooms designed just for my boudoir photography. Additionally, I do travel and will shoot on locations for specific requests.
4. How should customers prepare for the Boudoir photo shoot?
When you book your shoot with KJBoudoir, we will provide an entire preparation guide that will lead you every step of the way. It will discuss topics such as outfit styling, personal prep (i.e. waxing / tanning / mani & pedi) and a whole heap more!
5. Will there be a hairstylist and make-up artist?
Every single shoot will always have hair, makeup, and lashes provided. When you book your shoot, I will schedule your artists and it will be done right onsite. The stylists that I work with are extremely talented!
6. What do you do to make your customers feel comfortable for the shoot?
Comfortability is a priority. It begins with your first face to face consultation where you get to see me and know me a little bit and continues all the way through to the delivery of your products. I will make sure you know exactly what to expect every step of the way leading up to your shoot. During your shoot I will pose you from your head to your toes. And after your shoot I will walk you through the ordering process.
7. Are pictures printed or do you provide a digital file?
Once your boudoir session has concluded, we schedule your ordering appointment. Ordering appointments are when you come back to the studio (if you're local, or zoom if you're not local) and choose how you want your photos. You may choose from several options of high resolution digitals, prints, albums, wall art, and many other products.
8. What happens on the day?
The day of the shoot is all about celebrating you! When you arrive to the studio, you are greeted by me and your hair and makeup artist. Once hair and makeup is complete, we will begin your session. During your session, we will have three outfit changes that make the session last about an hour and a half to two hours. Once your session is over, we schedule your ordering appointment.
9. Where will the photographs be used?
Photographs will always remain private until you tell me otherwise. Each client is asked to sign a model release document that gives three options: 1. Share all of my photos (full model release). 2. Share anonymously. and 3. Share nothing at all; keep my photos private. If you allow me to share your photos, they will be used for social media, marketing, studio samples, and image contests.
10. What is your cancellation and/or refund policy?
Life happens! Sometimes you have to cancel your shoot. If this happens, your session fee can be moved to another date. Ultimately, session fees are non refundable.
