Boudoir Photography – Frequently Asked Questions

At Le Boudoir Studio, we understand that booking a boudoir session can feel like a big step, and you may have a lot of questions before committing. To help, we’ve compiled the top questions we hear from our clients and provided answers to guide you through the process. If your question isn’t covered here, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help!

 

Do you share my images?

Your privacy is our priority! We will never share your images without your explicit, written permission. Some clients love showing off their photos, and we are so honored when we get permission to share their beauty on our website and social media, but it’s entirely your choice. You get to fill out our Model Release to your comfort level, or if you choose to keep them for your eyes only, that is totally ok too!

Do I have to wear lingerie?

Not at all! Boudoir is about celebrating your unique confidence and beauty, and that doesn’t always mean lingerie. You can wear anything that makes you feel sexy and empowered—think cozy sweaters, a favorite dress, or even a sports jersey.

Do you have payment plans?

Yes! We offer flexible pre-session payment plans in house, as well as Afterpay to make your boudoir experience more accessible. We’re happy to work with you to find a plan that fits your budget.

Is hair and makeup included?

Absolutely! Every session includes professional hair and makeup to help you feel pampered and photo-ready. Our talented artists will work with you to create a look you’ll love. All you have to do is show up, and we take care of the rest! From natural to glam, we can create your dream look for your session!

Do you Photoshop my images?

Yes, we offer light retouching to smooth skin and remove anything temporary such as blemishes, bruises, and any marks created by outfits, keeping your images natural and true to you. The goal is to enhance your best features and make you feel like the most confident version of yourself.

Where should I buy outfits?

We’ve got you covered! We’ll provide a complete Style Guide, including an Amazon shopping guide, filled with suggestions for the best places to shop for outfits, whether you prefer online options or local boutiques (plus some coupons, too!). On the day of, we’ll help style the pieces you bring and pair them with our sets.

What type of print products do you have?

We offer a variety of luxury products, including handcrafted custom albums, stunning wall art, digitals, and fun extras like our Sexy Little Extras. These keepsakes are designed to celebrate your beauty and make the experience truly unforgettable.

Do you offer digital images?

Yes! Digital images are included in many of our collections. High-resolution files are perfect for printing or keeping as a digital memento of your experience. If you purchase your full digital collection, they will also come on gold and crystal  branded USB and gift boxed for the perfect present!

I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?

It’s completely normal to feel nervous! Most clients arrive feeling shy but leave saying it was one of the best experiences of their lives. We’ll guide you every step of the way with expert posing, a fun atmosphere, and plenty of encouragement.

How many outfits should I bring?

We recommend bringing at least 3 outfits for your session, but we can always add in a fourth if you just can’t narrow it down! Don’t worry—we’ll guide you in picking looks that make you feel amazing and confident.

Should I get to my shoot early?

No need to arrive early; just come at your scheduled time, or 5 minutes before at the most for parking. We’ve carefully planned your session, including hair, makeup, and shooting time, to ensure everything flows smoothly.

Where is your studio located?

We have 3 studio locations throughout the Phoenix Valley; Scottsdale, Mesa, and Phoenix. We’ll confirm the best location for your session when you book.
