FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Hello Ladies! I’m so thrilled that you are interested in a boudoir session! My hope with this page is to answer any questions you may have at whatever stage in the decision process you may find yourself in and give you insight on what to expect throughout this process.

HOW DO I BOOK?

To start the booking process – simply fill out the contact form below. Within 5 minutes, an email will be sent to you with details, pricing, and booking information.

HOW MUCH DOES A SESSION COST?

It is $499 to secure a date for your session. This includes a 90 minute photo session, professional hair & makeup, full use of our client closet which includes over 300 pieces of lingerie in all different sizes, colors, and styles, & 3 different looks/outfits. All images and products sold separately.
Please note that the booking fee is non-refundable.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I HAVE A SESSION?

We recommend we do your photo session at least 6 weeks before you need your product delivered, especially if it is for a gift. This allows enough time for viewing, editing, retouching, album production, and delivery.

CAN I BOOK THE SHOOT AND CHOOSE A PACKAGE LATER?

Yes! You can lock in your date for the $499 booking fee and decide on everything else on shoot day. You will purchase/pay for your selected package on the day of your shoot. Our average client spends around $3,000.

CAN I ADD ON PREMIERE SETS / LOOKS OTHER THAN LINGERIE?

Absolutely! We offer a few specialty sets such as the Wet Set, Swing, Bondage Props, or Honey. You can add these on for a minimal upcharge.

DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH COUPLES?

Yes! You can add in your spouse to a session for a minimal upcharge.

WHEN WILL I SEE MY PHOTOS?

Before you leave your photo session, we will set up an appointment for your Photo Reveal & Design Consultation. We can do this in person at the studio or we can do this via Zoom.

During your Photo Reveal & Design Consultation, you will select the photos you want to purchase and we will also design your album if one is purchased and / or pick out any other products. We will be there through the whole process to help guide you.

WILL YOU HELP ME PREPARE?

Before your photoshoot, you will receive a 12-page Step-by-Step Preparation Guide to help you navigate through the process of getting ready for your session. It is our goal to help you be fully informed and prepared for the day of your shoot and to reduce any stress that you may feel while preparing.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

Our studio located on the 2nd-floor of a historic building in Claremont, California. It has a ton of industrial character, a variety of looks, and is a very safe environment.

We are safely on the 2nd-floor and no one will be able to see through our doors or windows. Also, people will not be able to just walk in off of the street. We are super safe, private, and secure.

WHAT ABOUT MY HAIR AND MAKEUP?

Professional hair and make-up services are provided in all of our packages by our exclusive and experienced artists. Our artists are amazing at listening to you to make sure the look is exactly what you are envisioning. Our artists can do it all, you can be glammed up as much or as little as you you’d like.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

You may bring your own lingerie or use pieces from our growing Client Closet. We currently have over 300 lingerie pieces for you to choose from in tons of different colors, sizes and styles.

Utilizing the Client Closet is not required, just an added benefit for those who need it.

I HAVE INSECURITIES ABOUT ACNE, CELLULITE, STRETCHMARKS, A TATTOO ETC. CAN YOU GET RID OF IT?

Most of the time, we can get rid of, or greatly minimize, any imperfections that you may feel insecure about. We will do our absolute best to remove those things without your images looking fake or “over photoshopped”.

If you have an excessive amount of something on your body that you would like hidden or removed, let’s chat about it. Between outfit choice, lighting, posing, and editing, we can do our best to conceal those things. Feel free to contact me regarding questions about this.

DO I HAVE TO GET NAKED?

You do not have to get naked during your shoot. It is our priority to make you feel as comfortable as possible and we will only have you bare as much or as little as you are comfortable with. This shoot is for YOU, therefore you decide.

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO POSE OR LOOK SEXY

We will help guide you through every pose. We even do them ourselves first to show you! You DO NOT have to know how to pose or look sexy before your shoot. It is our job to direct and guide you through the whole thing. We’ve got you!

CAN MY FRIEND COME WITH ME TO MY SESSION?

We aren’t allowing guests or additional people in the studio, unless it is a couples shoot. It is very distracting for our clients and our photographers, so we do not permit it at all.

IF I CAN’T MAKE MY SHOOT DATE, CAN I RESCHEDULE?

Yes, we allow one reschedule at no charge, so long as you reschedule 48 hours in advance. However, you will need to repay the booking fee should you need to reschedule more than once. If you are a no call / no show to your scheduled session, you will forfeit your booking fee and will be required to pay another booking fee should you choose to come back.

WILL MY PHOTOS BE POSTED ONLINE?

The privacy of our clients is extremely important to us. We will never post photos of you that show your face without written permission. If you are even uncomfortable with photos of your body only being posted, we will not post those either. You can trust that we take your privacy very seriously.

I AM PLUS SIZE, SHOULD I STILL DO A SHOOT?

Unequivocally 100% YES!! We photograph women of all shapes and sizes. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful in their own skin. We pose every client according to their body type. We know what will look best for YOU bringing out the BEST in you! Your weight should NEVER be a reason to put off a boudoir session!

I AM A LOT OLDER THAN MOST OF THE WOMEN ON YOUR WEBSITE, SHOULD I STILL DO A SHOOT?

YES!! We shoot women of all ages and you deserve to feel beautiful at ANY age. We recommend to not wait on this because this is the youngest you will ever be – so the time is now! Do not let your age define how beautiful you feel. Let us show you how gorgeous you are!

“I have done two boudoir shoots with Julia and could never imagine using another photographer. Though I was incredibly nervous, Julia had a way of making me feel at ease, and she provided me with images that made the most perfect wedding present for my fiancé. He loves them so much... as do I!"
