Sensual Couples Boudoir

READY FOR SOME FUN!?

Couples boudoir sessions are on the rise! As we know, boudoir photography is focused on beauty with elements of voyeurism, and is a look in on a women's private world. Couples boudoir is a style that incorporates these ideas and makes them even better by sharing your session with your partner.

It's enticing, personal, and stimulating-- all the while maintaining a beautiful artistic manner. These sessions follow the tenets of my standard boudoir, but are extended to show intimacy between you and your partner.

Couples boudoir shoots have been a big hit over the past few years. Perhaps it was due to the whole Fifty Shades Of Grey influence, but there seemed to be a pent up demand from certain clients who wanted to include a partner in their session. ...And why not!

Does it sound like a great way to experience something new and exciting with your partner? It is! A couples boudoir session can still have some solo female focused photos, with the partner joining in for certain sets-- or they can all be just the two of you. It's your session and we can create it any way you like.

A Great Afternoon

FOR ALL COUPLES

Couples boudoir pictures are growing and I do more shoots ever year. When photographing opposite sex couples, the boudoir session can have some solo photos for the woman at first, with the partner joining in after a few sets, or the shoot can be entirely the two of you. --Likewise for same sex couples, there can be a combination of solo and partner shots. One fun way to hold your session is to start with sets of the woman solo - with the partner watching, which of course is quite enticing. After keeping everyone apart and building up the anticipation, we bring everyone together to some great couples boudoir poses.

Intimacy and physical contact is fine, and a great way to spice up your love life.

BFF Sessions. For women who want to share their session, you can bring your BFF along! The session can be shared or primarily solo, with your BFF just taking part in a few sets. Intimacy and physical contact is fine. Makeup is available for BFFs. Visit my page for more info on Best Friends Boudoir Sessions.

Be careful... do your homework

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Anyone who values excellent photography should be able to have it. I realize custom portraiture can become expensive. Everyone deserves to have their lives documented in an amazing way. Most of my sessions, by default, are booked with payment plans. I can work with you to help make a payment plan that works best for you.
Do I have to make a deposit?

Yes. There is a non-refundable session fee required to book your date. Please contact me for details.
How far in advance should I book?

I'm busy! 😁 Generally, book your session at least two months before you need products in hand. Certain times of year, such as Spring or Christmas season, I may be booked a few month ahead and you may need more lead time. Please contact me for availability. After your session: Image processing and choosing your selections may take three to four weeks to complete. Some products may also take a few weeks to arrive. During busy times like Christmas, print houses may have longer lead times, as well.
Is it ok if I bring my friend along? She's always been interested in a session.

Sure. You can bring a friend. Standard sessions include a friend, for free. 😀 She can have her own session, and both women purchase their products separately. It's super common. Notification is required if a friend will be attending with you. I also do more and more sessions each year where BFFs come and not only shoot their own sessions, but want to do a shots with each other. You can see more info on the BFF sessions page.
"...All I want is your price sheet. K? Thx.""

As history as proven, "Drive By" price requestors turn out to NOT be my client a solid 97.4% of the time, so these requests will most likely go unanswered. My clients ARE those who are enthusiastic about my work, love experiences, want to have a great time, and want the best around. 😁 ...Not to mention I really don't have price sheets-- so I really don't have anything to send you. My work is mostly custom and based on a client's budget. If you are curious about working with me simply reach out with your session budget from my Contact Page...
Help! What do I wear? Or Bring?

This is a question I get asked frequently. I really enjoy shooting boudoir because each photo shoot is unique to each woman. Wear what works for you, your body, your style- and most important, your comfort level. Sexy isn't just nudity and thongs. For the shy, it doesn't have to be revealing-- pose for your images in your favorite dresses... or his favorite dresses. His button down shirts, your favorite pajamas...anything goes. Of course, lingerie and cute bra sets are sexy, too! ...And don't forget the accessories: heels, necklaces, stockings... we may not use it all, but typically we will use 2 - 3 outfits. For additional info please see the What To Wear page... My clients will receive a complete Prep Guide after booking with detailed info and how to get ready!
"Ummm, this is kinda embarassing to ask- Can I bring my _________?"

I get it! AND I understand it may be embarrassing to ask about bringing along certain items that may be, well, a bit personal... BUT you're in luck. Boudoir session are all about having a bit of playful fun, and your "embarrassing" items are quite at home here. Although these type of items may not be for everybody, each year I do more and more sessions with items such as: handcuffs, wrist restraints, ankle restraints, hog ties, vibrators, paddles, whips, booty plugs, nipple jewelry, masks... the list goes on and on. Heck, more people are even asking to bring a BFF along to share a few shots. (And if she's ok with it, why not.) Essentially, I've seen it all. And its all ok to bring along... and makes for really playful cute shots. Generally, these items aren't the bulks of a session...and typically wind up only in a shot or two, and why not spice it up! Have a more specific question regarding an item...please contact me!
Can I bring a friend along for moral support?

Of course! You may bring a guest along with you for moral support, if you would like. It is recommended, however, that the guest is not your boyfriend/husband/partner. Your guest may keep you company during your makeup session/preparation, but one the photography starts I prefer guests leave the shooting area. In my experience, it can become a bit of a distraction.
How many people will be there during my shoot?

The people present during the shoot would be me (the photographer) and a makeup artist for touch-ups. On occasion, I also have a female assistant.
Is nudity required?

No. Nudity is never required or expected in a Boudoir shoot. That being said, women I work with will often include shots with "implied" nudity- essentially using arms, sheets, or other objects to cover their bodies and give the appearance of nudity. Also, in some instances a little computer trickery is used and portions of garments are digitally removed to give the appearance of nudity, while the subject was actually covered.
Do you shoot Maternity Boudoir?

Yes.
I am very shy, I don't know if I can do this...HELP!"

No worries! Most people that are part of my portfolio have never been in a photo shoot before. Also, you can always have a friend with you at your photo shoot. Usually, after the first few minutes the "jitters" are out of the way. I will use my experience and expertise to help guide you to get the best images...and help you have fun while doing it!
Do you post photos on your website?

I understand that boudoir/glamour work is personal and I respect your privacy. Boudoir images are not shared or posted without consent.
Can I buy any digital copies of these photos?

Yes.
Do you provide makeup / hair services?

Lately, I've found many of my brides have requested using the makeup artist they've already hired for their wedding to do makeup for their boudoir shoot. This is fine! Makeup is an available option for sessions.
Will you travel to my home, or a location near me for a boudoir session?"

Rarely. Travel outside the Ocean County area may be extra, please contact me for details.
Do you retouch the images?

Yes, Images are retouched.
Can you make my boobs bigger? Or make my arm thinner?

Yes-- to a point. Many people inquire about getting their boobs "enlarged" or "lifted." --Getting their waist "slimmed." --And getting arms "trimmed." This is all a fun part of the glamour process, and the magic of computer technology sometimes makes these kinds of modifications possible. You do not, however, need to be perfect to look beautiful. Ultimately, we want the person in the photo to be you-- not someone else! We work together to focus on your strengths and the parts of your body you love. I also use poses that bring the focus on these areas. I certainly will use retouching to hide bruises, pimples, and the like, but please do not expect major altering in your body shape or physical features. I do not do fake plastic "photoshop" skin or "alien" blue eyes. Without getting too much into detail, my personal philosophy is definitely a "less is more" style...and ultimately, you will thank me for it. By viewing any of the samples in my gallery you will be hard pressed to notice any sort of digital manipulation... and that is exactly the way I want it.
How long before I can see the images?

It typically takes two weeks following your session for the full gallery to be completed, although images may be available for viewing as I complete them. I can meet with you to review your images and help pick those you'd like to use in your Boudoir book or prints. You will also receive an online password protected gallery to view and order any prints and products you would like to order. During busy times...it may take a bit longer.
I'm really overweight. Am I going to look thin in my photos?

Unfortunately, there isn't a great PC answer here. I can certainly do some minor slimming to a degree, if requested, but ultimately the person in the photo is going to be you. The more a person is squeezed, the more distortion will be apparent in a photo. After a certain point is reached this becomes very obvious, and isn't a great look.
I would love to do this with my Bridal Party/ group of friends... Do you work with groups?

Yes. I love working with groups. Please contact me to discuss your party and discuss options. Typically, six is about the maximum number that you would want in your group.
Can I do photos with my boyfriend?

Sure. Couples sessions are fun to do. Take a look at the couples boudoir page for some info.
Eek! 😲 I don't look anything like the women in your galleries!

I have news for you! The images in my galleries are mostly my clients who before their sessions said, "Eek! I don't look anything like the women in your galleries! Should I be doing this?" 😂 Now they are THAT woman...
Hey, I'm ready to book my shoot. What's next?"

First, contact me via email, the Contact form on my website, or telephone! Well discuss the photo shoot. Payment of the session fee and a signed contract (which can be done electronically) are required to reserve your session date.
