First Things First

DEFINE YOUR VISUAL DIRECTION

For some, it’s lingerie and fine art nudes.
For others, it’s structure, softness, or strength.

Boudoir isn’t a dress code it’s a state of being.

Before you explore the next pages, take a moment to think about how you want to feel when you see your images.

Confident.
Polished.
The girl next door.
Sexy.
Bold.
Playful.
Bubbly.
Casual and effortless.
Soft and romantic.
Powerful and unapologetic.

The beautiful part is that you don’t have to choose just one. We all carry many different sides of ourselves, and this experience gives you the space to explore them. You can be elegant and conservative in one moment, and daring or mysterious in the next. You can lean into softness, strength, sensuality, humor, or curiosity. No one is just one thing. And boudoir doesn’t have to mean nudity or overt sexuality. The word itself traditionally refers to a private room where one could retreat, reflect, or simply be themselves. That’s the spirit we embrace here. We see the studio as a space where you’re free to play, explore, and express parts of yourself that may not always get the spotlight in everyday life. If no one was watching and you didn’t have to be “on” for anyone… who would you be? Or if you could step into a character, a mood, or an energy without worrying about judgment… what side of yourself would you want to explore? On the next pages, you’ll find examples of the sets, lighting styles, and visual aesthetics currently available inside Studio NÜDE. As you explore them, start noticing which images and energies resonate with you.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Now that you’ve started thinking about how you want to feel in your images, the next step is thinking about how you want to interact with them once they’re finished. At Studio NÜDE, we don’t believe in “just the digitals.” Images that are printed and displayed create a deeper emotional connection. They bond you to the art you are. It’s the difference between taking a photo of a sculpture on your phone… and having that sculpture living in your home. Sometimes clients ask themselves,

“But what would I even do with these?”

The better question might be…

What do you do with all the things in your life that bring you joy?

What do you do with all your shoes?
Your favorite jewelry?
The artwork in your home?
Your wedding album?
The photos of your children?
Your favorite book on the coffee table?

You don’t “need” them. But they remind you of something meaningful. They express who you are. They bring beauty and emotion into your everyday life. Your photographs deserve that same space. Some clients prefer discreet options they can keep personal and private. Others want their images larger than life, statement pieces displayed proudly in their home. There is no right answer. But knowing how you want to experience your images helps us design and photograph your session intentionally.

For example:

If you love the idea of a luxurious album, we’ll focus on storytelling, movement, and detail images that create a beautiful narrative when the pages turn. If you want that one iconic image of yourself, the kind that stops you in your tracks, our statement metal wall art creates a daily reminder of your strength, beauty, and presence. On the next pages, you’ll find examples of our artwork and product options. Take a moment to explore them. Click the images. Read the descriptions. Because at Studio NÜDE, you receive both your digital images and artwork credit, allowing you to choose the pieces that will let your photographs truly live beyond the screen.

Your images deserve more than a phone gallery.

They deserve to exist in the world with you.

Defining Your Aesthetic

As you explore the galleries below, simply notice what catches your eye. Some people love images that feel bold and dramatic. Others are drawn to softer, more intimate moments. Many people discover they like a mix of both. There’s no right or wrong style here. Every image you see was created in our studio, which means these looks, lighting, and environments can all be re-created and personalized during your session. Save or screenshot anything that inspires you. These images help us understand what feels exciting, comfortable, and most like you. This is where your mood board begins.

DETAIL SHOTS

Detail shots highlight texture, lines, and form, collarbones, shoulders, hands, backs, curves, muscle definition. These images are perfect for wall art and help create visual balance within an album.

EDITORIAL

Using our studio strobes, these images create a clean, bold look similar to what you’d see in fashion magazines.

CATWALK

Our Catwalk takes you outside onto the industrial fire escape behind the studio, creating images with gritty textures, natural sunlight, and a bold city vibe.

NATURAL LIGHT

The studio’s large north-facing windows allow soft, diffused daylight to fill the space, creating images that feel natural, timeless, and effortlessly beautiful.

SEMI-SILHOUETTES

These bold, high-contrast statement images create shape and mystery. Often styled with sheer fabrics, layers, or partial undress, they leave just enough to the imagination.

PREPPING FOR YOUR COUPLES SESSION

A couples session is about connection first, everything else supports that. The strongest images come from presence, comfort, and trust between you. Here’s how to prepare intentionally.

Communication Before You Arrive

Have a conversation beforehand about:

• What feels exciting
• What feels vulnerable
• What’s off-limits
• How much skin you’re comfortable showing
• Whether you want romantic, playful, dominant, soft, or bold energy

Clarity before you arrive reduces nerves and allows you to relax into the experience.

Grooming & Skin Prep

• Hydrate well in the days leading up to your session
• Moisturize daily
• Trim facial hair neatly
• Shave (if desired) the morning of your session
• Avoid heavy alcohol the night before
• Get adequate rest

Fresh skin and rested energy always photograph strongest.

Wardrobe for Couples

Coordination matters more than matching.

Think complementary tones and textures — not identical outfits.

Timeless & Elevated

• Neutral-toned underwear sets
• Boxers, briefs, or boxer-briefs paired with lingerie
• Button-down shirt + lingerie
• Silk robes
• Fitted t-shirt + underwear
• Oversized sweater + bare legs
• Blazer with lingerie underneath
• Suit with bare chest

Relaxed & Intimate

• Coordinated athleisure
• Workout sets
• Denim + bare skin
• Fine art nude
• Wrapped in sheets

Bold & Expressive

• Lingerie
• Jock straps
• Leather pieces
• Harness details
• Rope (shibari)
• Dominant / submissive styling
• Pieces that reflect your dynamic

We are an all-inclusive space.
Your chemistry, your expression, and your power are welcome here.

If it feels authentic to your relationship, bring it.

Keep Props Minimal

For couples sessions, less is more.

The focus is you — your hands, your bodies, your eye contact, your energy.

Too many props can dilute the emotional impact.

Stretch & Mobility

Many couples poses require holding weight, leaning, lifting, or twisting.

Take a few minutes the morning of your session to stretch:

• Hips
• Shoulders
• Back
• Hamstrings

Flexibility makes everything feel easier and more natural.

Mindset

This is not about performing.

It’s about being present.

The most powerful couples images happen in between poses, in the laughter, the quiet, the breath against skin.

Arrive open.
Arrive connected.
We’ll guide the rest.

PREPPING FOR YOUR DUDE-OIR SESSION

This isn’t about pretending to be someone you’re not.

It’s about showing up as you, strong, intentional, and present.

Here’s how to prepare so you feel confident walking through the door.

The Night Before

Keep it simple.

• Hydrate well
• Eat balanced meals
• Get solid sleep
• Avoid heavy drinking

Energy shows in your eyes and posture. Rested confidence photographs better than anything. If nerves creep in, don’t worry, we offer light, nerve-calming beverages in studio to help you settle in.

Grooming

• Trim facial hair neatly
• Shave (if desired) the morning of your shoot
• Moisturize skin daily leading up to your session
• Clean, trimmed nails
• Light body trimming if preferred

Five o’clock shadow can photograph darker than expected, so shaving the morning of your session gives you the freshest look.

Haircuts

Avoid dramatic haircuts or color changes right before your session.

If you’re getting a trim, schedule it about a week in advance so it settles naturally.

Stretch & Mobility

Many poses may look effortless but require:

• Shoulder engagement
• Core strength
• Hip flexibility
• Back mobility

Take 5–10 minutes the morning of your shoot to stretch. A quick mobility flow makes a big difference.

You might be surprised how athletic a photoshoot can feel.

Wardrobe for Men

We specialize in fine art nudes so if you want to arrive the way you came into this world, we are here for it. If you’d like to incorporate wardrobe, here are strong options:

Classic & Refined

• Full tailored suit
• Dress shirt with slacks
• Blazer with no shirt
• Button-down with briefs or boxers
• Luxury robe

Casual & Athletic

• Fitted t-shirt + jeans
• Boxer briefs
• Athleisure sets
• Workout attire
• The infamous grey sweatpants

Bold & Expressive

• Jock straps
• Lingerie
• Leather pieces
• Harness details
• Rope (shibari)
• Dominant styling elements

We are an all-inclusive space.

If it reflects who you are, bring it.

Confidence photographs better than trends.

Makeup & Styling

Makeup for men is subtle and corrective.

We may use light product to:

• Even skin tone
• Reduce redness
• Soften under-eye darkness
• Smooth minor imperfections

No glam unless requested. We also carry beard and mustache products, brow wax, and styling products to keep everything polished and intentional.

Retouching

Men’s retouching focuses on refinement, not reshaping. We enhance lighting, remove distractions, and polish details while maintaining your natural structure and strength. We’ll discuss your comfort level and any requests during your consultation.

Mindset

This is not about performing.It’s about presence. The strongest images happen when you stop trying to pose and simply inhabit your body. Show up open. We’ll guide the rest.

About the Studio

COMING IN FROM OUT OF TOWN?

Over half of our clients travel to Green Bay for their experience, and we love hosting you.

To help you make the most of your time here, we’ve linked a Downtown Green Bay website with recommendations for:

• Accommodations
• Restaurants
• Coffee & cocktails
• Things to see and explore

Whether you’re planning a solo getaway or turning your session into a weekend experience, we want you to feel completely taken care of. TAKE A PEEK

And for added convenience, we also offer the option of a remote video reveal if you prefer not to travel back to Green Bay for your ordering appointment a few weeks later.

Wardrobe Tips

Honestly, and we’re not even close to exaggerating here, wardrobe is really not that crazy important for the way that we shoot. Please, please, please don’t stress out over wardrobe. Don’t feel the need to run out and buy all new things. We can do a completely versatile and awesome shoot with a single scarf, or the sheets, or a sweater. Truly. Don’t stress about it.

Here’s some wardrobe tips to calm your nerves and help you decide what to bring

The number one wardrobe rule is:

Do not bring outfits that you don’t love! We can’t tell you how many women show up with outfits that prompt them to say “I really don’t like the way I look in this one, but I’ll leave it up to you!”. If you don’t like the outfit, it’s likely that you won’t like photos of yourself in the outfit. Leave it at home.

Lingerie is not a must for boudoir:

Don’t be afraid to get creative! For a boudoir style shoot, a garter belt and thigh high fish nets would go great with a cropped sweater or graphic tee. A gorgeous bra can be paired with no pants. A sheet can be used for everything.

Your 20 year old favorite tee shirt paired with cheeky bottoms will get the job done just perfectly. This is about you and your authentic personality, not about being someone you aren’t.

For beauty or portrait:

Structured and/or statement pieces work amazingly. Your favorite blazer or jacket, a cocktail dress with an interesting neckline, or just a bodysuit and jeans….We want you to look and feel like yourself (just on your best day).

When in doubt, just bring in some of your favorite wardrobe items, and let us style them for you. It’s part of the service and we’re happy to do it.

Our Shoot Style

Is very “I’m-Not-Trying-Too-Hard-Chic”! We go for the “i woke up like this” look as often as possible. For that look, wardrobe is even less of an obstacle.

Structured Pieces & Solids

Look great on camera as well as items with texture, and those that are form fitting to show your figure.

If wearing thigh-highs, buy them 1-2 sizes too big according to the size chart on the back.

Buying them in a size that supposedly “fits” according to the package size chart will likely result in the stockings giving a bit of thigh muffin top ;) We can get them to stay up for each “pose”, or you can wear a garter belt to keep them from slipping.

Have yourself properly fitted for lingerie if you will be wearing it for your session.

I recommend going to a local lingerie boutique to have yourself properly fitted. Recommendations can be found at the bottom of the page. OR if you’re interested in online ordering, True & Co. has a really amazingly helpful website and quiz that will help you to determine what styles and sizes work best for you. https://trueandco.com/quiz/intro

Avoid tiny busy patterns & neon colors.

They are often harsh on-camera and a bit unflattering so try to avoid them.

Have several outfits picked out.

We can go through them together before your shoot to determine what will photograph best. We will have time for 1 outfit (nude counts as an outfit, if you’re wondering) for every 30 minutes you are scheduled…so that is 3 outfits for our “The WORKS” package.

Try to incorporate a variety of pieces into your wardrobe selections.

Having 5 different bra and panty sets won’t allow for a whole lot of variety in your photos. Rather, have something formal, something casual, something super textured and fun, something more modest, to something black and sleek...you get the idea.

It doesn’t have to be complicated…in fact, we welcome simplicity!

We love to work with pretty scarves, sheets, white button down shirts, jackets and coats, or anything you love.

Pressed and Pretty

Make sure your wardrobe selections aren’t wrinkled and cut all the tags off of your sheer items before arriving. We do have a steamer at the studio for last minute wrinkle removal!

Avoid Props

Unless it’s your second shoot with us, or unless you’re super crazy confident and comfortable! Props and uncertainty go together like…like…awkward school portraits. ;)

Consider Artistic Nudes

For a super easy, low maintenance, and FREE wardrobe option. I wrote a whole blog on this HERE. Go read!

Flattering All Figures

CURVY BODIES

BRING ON THE FORM-FITTING ITEMS! We adore bodysuits, tight dresses, and nothing at all….especially for voluptuous bombshells. We often see curvy women trying to cover up more, but usually that has the opposite effect they think it will. Allowing us to pose you so that we can see your figure and celebrate it is the way to go!

FLAT-BUTTS

Thongs tend to make a butt look fuller than full-coverage bottoms or g-strings. Play around in the mirror with different styles to see what you like best. And don’t worry, we’re PROS at creating curves in posing where there aren’t any otherwise! We can get a killer booty shot with any level of curve (or lack thereof).

SHORTER LEGS

High heels with a THIN heel rather than chunky! Avoid shoes with thick ankle straps or a square toe. Nude shoes naturally elongate the legs.

THIN/NO CURVE

That’s all in the posing-girl! Form fitting options and nothing at all work great as we pose the heck out of you to make you look and feel bodacious.

SMALL CHEST

Underwires and balconettes are lovely, as well as NO BRA AT ALL (our personal favorite for small chested women!) And also, small boobs rock. So please don’t feel the NEED to create extra “oomph” unless it’s something that really concerns you.

MOM BOOBS

If your breasts are a bit lower or “floppier” than you’d like them to be, just be sure to snag a bra with some support, or form fitting bodysuits that will keep them at bay. Posing will play a huge role here, and we’re really good at that. So…bring your mom boobs our way and we’ll embrace the hell out of them!

SURGERY SCARS & STRETCH MARK

Our personal belief is that scars tell a story. Sometimes clients wish they didn’t have to be permanently reminded of that story, and other times, clients embrace their scars and say they’re a part of them. For this reason, I will never edit out a scar or stretch mark unless a client specifically requests it….and if they do, in fact, request that retouching, we will happily do that at no additional charge. This is a VERY personal topic and it’s not our choice to make. We welcome scars and stretch marks, but also support a woman’s right to choose herslef!

Get Your Beauty Sleep

PLAN AHEAD

Nothing puts a damper on a fun and relaxing photo shoot like feeling rushed or late! You should plan for traffic and arrive about 5 minutes before your scheduled start time.

PAMPER YOURSELF

Use this an opportunity to pamper yourself. Go a few days before your shoot and get a manicure and pedicure! This will give you a finished, polished look. Chipped polish can be distracting.

BRUSH YOUR LIPS

Sounds weird, right?! Dry lips are very hard to fix in post processing. In the days leading up to your photoshoot, use your toothbrush while brushing your teeth to also make a few passes over that pucker of yours. This will help shed dead skin. After that, apply a moisturizing lip balm...repeat repeat repeat. If you’re looking for a KILLER product recommendation. WE LOVE DR. LIPP’S MIRACLE BALM. You can score a tube of it on AMAZON, and don’t be surprised if you see it referring to being a Nipple Balm in the description. It’s a jack-of-all trades balm that was originally released as a lip conditioner, but because it’s 100% lanolin and odorless/tasteless/colorless, people soon discovered you could do nearly anything with it. Nursing moms love it for cracked nipples, we love it for luscious lips and a cheek highlight, we’ve heard of people using it on dry heels/elbows/knees, etc. For less than $15, a tube of this stuff will last you a REALLY long time (My first tube was a teeny trial sized BirchBox find that lasted me 4 months!)

HAVE EXTRA WARDROBE OPTIONS

Bring at least 4-5 different outfits, a couple pair of shoes if you’re a shoe girl, and accessories only if you usually wear them. We may not use it all, but it never hurts to have options. Often clients will bring a smattering of wardrobe options and we’ll just style up some different looks that they maybe weren’t thinking and they end up loving them.

LATHER ON THE LOTION

Supple is key for beautiful skin! Be sure to moisturize twice a day for the week leading up to your shoot. On the day of your shoot, use a non-bronzer illuminizing lotion. If you’re having a hard time finding an illuminizing lotion without color, you can absolutely just go with an oil based lotion like Argan Oil Moisturizer or Coconut Oil Moisturizer. Don’t use tinted lotions or anything with color. We will have some moisturizer at the studio for you to use if you don’t have a lotion you love.

MAKE A PLAYLIST

Music will really help you get into the super model zone!! Try to select music that matches the concept of your shoot. We have a bluetooth speaker at the studio to stream your tunes if you bring them! We also have a pretty kickass set of photo shoot playlists that tend to jive well with most people.

BRING A SOFT, LIGHT WEIGHT ROBE

Without any undergarments on while getting your makeup done. This will allow for any marks from tight bras, etc to even out so they don’t show up in your images. Avoid your big furry winter robe as that will tend to leave little dimples in your skin AND I find that most clients have a higher body temperature while they are getting makeup done because of nerves...it’s hard to do makeup when you’re sweating! If you don’t have one, don’t worry, we have a few you can use!

TRUST US

We won’t make you do anything that is going to make you look bad. We’re pros. We’ve been doing this for a long time and we know how to make a woman look good with killer poses, strategic lighting, and appropriate camera angles. We’ve photographed over 2,500 women in the last 10 years and have quite literally worked with EVERY body type and insecurity. We’ve got you covered. Don’t stress. (Easier said than done, we understand.)

Don't You Dare

SPRAY TANS & SELF-TANNER

We know a tan can feel confidence-boosting. However, we strongly recommend avoiding spray tans, tinted lotions, and bronzers before your session. Even when they look even to the naked eye, cameras, especially under low-key lighting and in high-resolution imagery pick up streaks, unevenness, and color shifts that aren’t visible in person. Spray tans also tend to photograph more orange in color images.Because of this, standard retouching does not include spray tan correction.If you choose to tan anyway, we will absolutely still photograph you just keep in mind that unevenness may remain visible in your final images. Natural skin always photographs strongest.

PROPS & PERSONAL ITEM

Sentimental jewelry is always welcome. If you’re drawn to bringing a prop, ask yourself: Will I still connect to this in 10 years? Timeless pieces, a meaningful necklace, a favorite watch, a wedding band, photograph beautifully.

We recommend avoiding:

• Jerseys
• Military apparel
• Weapons
• Sports equipment
• Costume masks
• Anything overly themed

The focus should remain on you not the object, however, we are open to incorporating what you feel lead to.

For Dude-Oir sessions specifically, items like construction hats, suspenders, or tools of your trade can work well, as long as they feel authentic and not costume-like. Simple. Intentional. Personal.

THE NIGHT BEFORE YOUR SESSION

If nerves are present, we understand. But a late night out isn’t the answer. Alcohol dehydrates the skin, affects posture, and shows in your eyes the next day.

Instead, try:

• A bubble bath
• A slow evening at home
• Light stretching or yoga
• Hydration
• Early sleep

Hangovers don’t photograph well, and rested confidence always does.

DON’T FORGET TO STRETCH

Many of the poses may look effortless, but they can feel surprisingly athletic. Take a few minutes the morning of your session to stretch your arms, legs, hips, and especially your back. Clients are often surprised by how sore they feel afterward, holding poses, shifting weight, and engaging muscles adds up quickly. A short mobility flow or light yoga session will help you feel more comfortable, flexible, and confident during your shoot.

AVOID NEW HAIRCUTS OR COLOR RIGHT BEFORE YOUR SESSION

Now isn’t the time to experiment with a completely new look. If you’re planning a haircut or color refresh, schedule it about a week in advance so it has time to settle naturally. We want you looking like your best, most confident self, not adjusting to something unfamiliar.

MINDSET: HOW YOU TALK ABOUT YOURSELF MATTERS

Energy shows up in photographs. If you walk in focused on what you love about yourself, that confidence translates beautifully on camera. We’d much rather hear about what you adore, your legs, your shoulders, your smile, your strength. That said… we also know everyone has something that feels vulnerable. If there’s an area you’re self-conscious about, simply tell us: “I love my ___, but I feel insecure about my ___.” That gives us clarity without anchoring the session in negativity. We will absolutely be mindful of your sensitivities, while also gently challenging ourselves to create an image that helps you see that part of yourself differently. Our goal isn’t to hide you. It’s to help you appreciate you.

What Are You Worried About?

MY PERIOD

Yep, it’s the worst. No, it will not affect your finished product. We run an all-female studio and we ALL understand the plight of menstruation on photo shoot day. We keep extra strength Advil and feminine hygiene products on hand, and we have zero qualms with 30 bathroom breaks. Start your morning with some fresh fruit and a heating pad and we’ll take it from there. No worries about bloat or blemishes.

POSE ANXIETY

This one’s easy. You don’t have to know how to pose…not even a little bit. We will walk you through every step of the way. We will get into the poses ourselves and have you mirror us. If we didn’t get it right on the first try, we’ll gently redirect you. It’s not YOUR job to take amazing photos, it’s ours. And we’re pretty competitive about taking amazing photos.

I’M NOT PHOTOGENIC

If you’re thinking that all of the women featured on the pages of my website and social media are models, you’re sorely mistaken. We have NEVER….EVER had a client who didn’t love their photos. You don’t have to love EVERY SINGLE ONE of them, but you will love most of them. And you will be shocked that you could love photos of yourself this much. We WILL rock out your photo session and we WILL get a whole bunch of killer images of you. We always do. But if you come into the shoot with an open mind and with trust in us, we’ll get EXTRA. And extra is always good. We’ve never met a woman who we couldn’t capture beautifully. That includes you.

BODY ISSUES

We long for the day that women are comfortable in their skin at all stages, for the day that women embrace their wobbly bits and beautiful side creases. That said, we know women well enough to be realistic and understand that many women struggle with self love and no matter how much we tell them they are beautiful, they wish they would have lost just a few more pounds before their session. If that is you, we can assure you, that this ain’t our first rodeo. The majority of the women that come in to see us are working on loving themselves, but struggle. They don’t approve of the size of their thighs, their belly pooch, their dimples. We take women’s feelings very seriously and never want to make anyone uncomfortable. While this is a body positive studio, we will also light and pose you in the most flattering possible way while we shoot you from the best possible angles.

We’ve spent the last decade photographing all kinds of women, all extraordinary in their own way. We’ve learned all the tricks to ensure that we are featuring the attributes that women most love about themselves, while paying special care to downplay areas of concern. While we are going to make our very best effort to change your mind on what you consider to be your “flaws”, we don’t expect every woman to be ready for that yet.

WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT?

It happens all the time…a client’s photo shoot is a few days away and she begins to panic. We get a terrified e-mail in the middle of the night begging for us to talk them off the ledge. They want to cancel, they just haven’t had the time to prepare, you name the excuse, we’ve heard it. So let’s be proactive here and tackle the most common trepidations we hear, so that maybe you won’t be hyperventilating in the middle of the night on the day before your session.

STRESS ACNE

Yeah, it happens. Pimples suck. If you think for one second that every woman you see pictured on our website was magically pimple-free on the day of their session, you’re taking crazy pills. We retouch blemishes and bruises with ease on every photo you see. No problem. No stress. Let that pimple try it’s hardest to ruin your day, but your photos will not be a permanent reminder of it.

What to Expect

A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE YOU SHOOT, you can expect to get a confirmation from us, just making sure we are on the same page about your makeup start time, shoot start and end time, and location...and we’ll also ask if you have any last minute questions!

ON THE DAY OF YOUR SHOOT, your hair and makeup will be done by a member of our glam squad unless you’ve requested a natural beauty shoot. You should have your face clean and moisturized, and your hair dry and ready to be heat styled when you arrive. Make sure to wear loose-fitting clothing or a lightweight robe while getting makeup done and let us know in advance if you have any skin allergies at all. While you’re getting lovely, your photographer will take a peek at your wardrobe selections and start putting together looks so we can hit the ground running when you’re done with hair and makeup. Once you’re done with makeup, you can get into your first look and throw a robe on over it.

ONCE THE SHOOT BEGINS, you can expect us to give you tons of encouragement and direction. We will not expect you to super model pose throughout your shoot. We will show you what to do, and encourage improvising whenever you feel comfortable. We will say things to elicit laughter whenever possible, too...so be prepared (or, actually, don’t. It’s better that way.)

The poses generally aren’t very comfortable and your shoot will give you more of a workout than you anticipate. But we assure you, we know what we’re doing. Get a good stretch in the morning of your session, and the evening after your session. A couple of ibuprofen might need to happen for those lower back aches, but it will allll be worth it!

YOUR SHOOT TIME will FLY by. That’s a good thing!! That means it wasn’t awkward or boring. Just the right amount of fun! We do run a tight ship at the studio in regards to our schedule, so you’ll most definitely be out on time but never early.

AT THE END OF YOUR SHOOT, we will help you pack up your things, we’ll get you scheduled for your photo reveal appointment so you know exactly when you’ll be seeing your images, and we’ll collect your final balance if you haven’t already paid online. We’ll also give you a high five because, GIRL, you rocked it.

WITHIN 3 WEEKS of your shoot, you will have your photo reveal appointment with us so that you can see all of your proofs and order anything you’d like. You should be prepared to place your full order on the day of your photo reveal and ordering appointment. Most clients find themselves upgrading their album and adding images, and also purchasing a piece or three of wall art.

AT YOUR PHOTO REVEAL appointment, we’ll relax on the couch and show a slide show of some of the highlight images from your session before diving in to viewing your entire collection of at least 60 images. You’ll have the opportunity to flip through our beautiful album options and see all of our other available products. If your package included an album credit, we’ll explain your options to use the exact credit or to apply your credit towards an upgraded album and/or other products if you desire. We know you’re going to love your images, and these reveal appointments are so much fun!

WITHIN 1 MONTH of your photo reveal appointment, all of your purchased products will be ready for pickup, and sometimes sooner! We’ll send you an e-mail letting you know when your products are ready for pickup, or with your tracking number if you live out of the area and we are shipping to you.

WITHIN 6 MONTHS of your photo reveal appointment, you’ll want to do this again. Trust us ;) Existing clients get dibs on photo shoot time slots because we believe in special treatment.
