frequently asked questions

denver boudoir, maternity & portrait photographer

  • There is a $500 session fee to retain  your date. This includes 3 hours in the studio, hair, makeup, styling assistance, and same day gallery reveal & ordering session. The prints & products are purchased separately.  I go over in detail pricing over the phone so you fully know what you're getting yourself into! On average clients spend between 2K - 5K+ on their final order.

  • Everyone selects a pre-session payment plan. That way everything is paid by the time it is your session and you can just enjoy the experience without worrying about the ordering appointment and paying a large sum of money in one go.

    By choosing a collection for your payment plan it also protects you from any price increases until your session.

    Payment plans can range from a couple of payments up to 12 months ahead. There are a few terms that we will cover during the discovery call.

    Clients usually upgrade their collection during the ordering appointment.

  • Around here we celebrate every curve, but I also understand a few pounds may make you feel more confident in your skin. Just know, it may take 6 months with a dedicated diet and exercise which will be the perfect timing to do a pre-payment plan with a fantastic end goal to celebrate all that hard work.

    But if you don’t want to wait or don’t get to that goal, I have you for 10-15lb in posing alone so there is no need to wait.

    Or better yet, show off those curves and celebrate who you are right now!

    I have a free guide that covers these and other concerns. You can download that here now.

  • I’ve got you. During our consultation and preparations, we will talk in-depth about what you can bring or what you’d like to wear. I have a studio closet to borrow from in various sizes. You also don’t need to wear lingerie if that is not your style. Jeans, a suit, an oversized white button shirt, or a white sheet is always a trusty favorite, and remember, your skin is the best outfit of them all.

    Once you’ve booked, I will send you my prep guide which has all kinds of ideas for you on what to bring.

  • I’ve got you. I will direct you 100% of the way. You don’t need to know how to pose or have any experience in front of the camera at all. 

  • I understand this very well. That is why I meet several times with you before your session to get to know one another through questionnaires as well. All of this is to assure you and properly prepare you for your session so you know what to expect and arrive with a little extra confidence. Believe me, by the time you leave you’ll have a newfound confidence and this is exactly the purpose of an empowering boudoir photo session.

  • There is a digital collection and each print collection includes digital images as well. Digital and printed images cost the same. The value is in the image so the printed product is just a beautiful bonus.

  • I have a private studio in South Metro Denver where everything is set up and ready to use.

    Hair and makeup are included in each session and are done here on the day of your session, so there is no need to rush all over town.

  • The same day! No need to wait. If anyone else is helping make decisions, they should plan to be at this meeting too.

    Favorite images and final orders are made during this meeting. If you feel you need more time to decide we can discuss options for you. (no online galleries or screenshots are sent - sorry)

  • I take on limited clients per month so the earlier you book the better.

    Please reach out to see availability.

    To benefit from the pre-session payment plans, you can book up to 12 months ahead. That will mean easier payments for you.

    For maternity clients, book as soon as you can. We aim to do the photo session between 27-34 weeks of your pregnancy and we will go over these and more details during the discovery/booking call.

  • Yes, I do!

    For anyone you refer and book their session, you will receive studio credit to use towards your final order. No cap!

    Your referees will also receive a special studio credit during their session.

  • Yes I do have gift cards and they make excellent gifts. You can purchase them here.

  • We will design a session that works around your needs. We can take a few professional headshots while you are here and then glam it up bit or even do more intimate black and white (boudoir-style) portraits. You might as well do what you want while you are here and getting the full makeover look.
