First Things First
Exactly what kind of images are you hoping to walk away from your session with? Do you find yourself drawn to anonymous images that show off the body Portraits? Editorial style? Have absolutely no idea? It can be very difficult to articulate your own style, so we don’t ask you to.
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.
HOW WILL YOU LIVE WITH YOUR IMAGES?
Now that you’ve started thinking about how you want to feel in your images, the next step is just as important… how do you want to experience them once they’re finished?
At Studio NÜDE, we don’t believe in “just the digitals,” which is why each experience includes product and print credit. Digitals are the modern-day negatives, technically incomplete pieces of art, and most people never get around to printing them. We don’t want that for you. Your images deserve to be fully realized and lived with, not stored away and forgotten.
The things you love most are placed intentionally in your space, and your images deserve that same presence. Some clients choose a custom album they can hold and revisit, others choose statement wall art they see every day, and many choose both. There is no right answer, just what feels most aligned with you.
Start thinking about where your images will live. Do you want something private and personal or bold and seen? Something you hold, or something you experience daily? To help bring that vision to life, we offer a complimentary wall design service, allowing you to see your images scaled and placed in your own space before you order. Most clients choose bedrooms, master bathrooms, or walk-in closets, but you are never limited to that.
We also offer custom-designed albums and unique keepsake pieces like our viewfinder, video player, and curated gift boxes. When you visit the studio, you’ll be able to see and feel all of our products in person. You don’t need to decide now, but having a sense of what you’re drawn to helps us create a more intentional experience together. You can also explore our product page to align your vision with the product credit included in your experience.
Defining your aesthetic…
Think of this as a visual menu of what we can create together. Inside this portfolio you'll see our different sets, lighting styles, and creative approaches. Browse through, save what speaks to you, and start imagining the kind of images you'd love to create.
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.
WET SET
Our wet set uses water, light, and movement to create bold, cinematic images that feel powerful, artistic, and a little unforgettable.
NEON
Colorful neon lights bring a playful, high-energy vibe to your images, creating bold and unforgettable portraits.
WINGS
Step into something a little mythical. The wings create bold, dramatic portraits that feel powerful, free, and unforgettable.
Fine Art Nudes
Inspired by classical sculpture and Renaissance artwork, these images highlight the natural beauty, shape, and artistry of the human body.
LIFESTYLE
Lifestyle images are captured in relaxed, real environments like our canopy bed set, a client’s home, a hotel room, or during destination sessions. These images feel natural, intimate, and authentic, like stepping into a real moment.
BRIDAL
A beautiful way to celebrate this chapter of your life. Bridal images capture romance, confidence, and the excitement of the moments leading up to your wedding day.
KINK
A space to explore fantasy, power dynamics, and bold self-expression through styling, props, and creative imagery.
SWING
Our Honey Birdette swing creates dynamic, suspended poses that bring a sense of play, strength, and adventurous energy to your images.
MOOD LIGHT
Using darker tones and shadow, these images create a dramatic atmosphere that feels intimate, cinematic, and expressive.
BATHTUB
The bathtub set features our bubble machine, creating playful, foam-filled scenes that feel dreamy, indulgent, and a little magical.
SLOW MOTION TEASER FILMS
Imagine seeing yourself move the way others see you, confident, magnetic, and completely in your element. Our slow-motion vertical teaser films capture the movement, energy, and emotion of your session in a way that photographs simply can’t. Filmed throughout your experience and set to music that matches your vibe, these short cinematic clips feel like stepping into your own personal music video. Even better, they’re typically delivered within about three days of your session, giving you a beautiful sneak peek to enjoy while you wait for your full image reveal. Teaser films are included with our Velvet and Icon experiences, and can also be added to the Flirt experience as an upgrade. For many clients, this ends up being one of the most unexpected and unforgettable parts of the entire experience.

Green Bay, WI, 54302
Arriving at the Studio
Our studio is located in a historic building in downtown Green Bay’s Arts District, and while the space is beautiful, buildings over 100 years old can sometimes be a little tricky to navigate. Don’t worry—we’re here to guide you.
When you arrive, simply send us a quick text and we’ll make sure you find your way up with ease.
Main Street Square Parking (Stair Access)
If you’re comfortable taking a short flight of stairs, the easiest place to park is the Main Street Square parking lot next to Get It Now Furniture.
From the parking lot, walk toward the front of the building on Main Street until you see a door labeled “Second Floor Entrance.”
Take the stairs to the top and you’ll find our studio door on the left.
Entry code: 1280
Elevator / Accessible Entrance
If you prefer to use the elevator or need accessible access, please park in the rear parking lot.
To get there, turn into the lot between Roundabout Bar and Tequila’s Mexican Restaurant. If you see the Frida mural, you’re in the right spot.
Once you arrive, call or text us and we’ll meet you downstairs and personally guide you up to the studio.
We want your experience to feel easy, relaxed, and welcoming from the moment you arrive, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help finding us.
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.
The #1 Wardrobe Rule
Do not bring outfits you don’t love. We can’t tell you how many people show up with outfits and say something like: "I don’t really like the way I look in this one, but maybe you can make it work." If you don’t like the outfit, chances are you won’t love photos of yourself wearing it either.
Leave it at home.
The goal of wardrobe for your session is simply to bring pieces you genuinely enjoy wearing and feel confident in.
Our Shooting Style
Our style is modern, clean, and timeless. We focus on you being the main character, not the wardrobe, not the trends, and not anything that will feel dated years from now. Because of that, we guide clients toward wardrobe choices that are classic, simple, and reflective of who you are, rather than overly trendy pieces that may age quickly.
You are investing a lot of time, energy, and money into this experience, and we want you to feel just as good about these images years from now as you do the day they are created. Simple, intentional pieces tend to photograph best, such as:
• Structured pieces – blazers, tailored jackets, corsets, structured bodysuits
• Solid colors – black, cream, neutrals, deep reds, earth tones
• Texture – lace, ribbed knits, silk, satin, leather, velvet, chunky sweaters, sheer fabrics
• Well-fitted silhouettes – bodysuits, tailored suits, high-waisted briefs, fitted boxer briefs, slip dresses, button-down shirts that follow the shape of your body
These allow the focus to stay exactly where it belongs, on you.
We also recommend avoiding tiny busy patterns and neon colors, which can sometimes photograph harshly or pull attention away from you in the final image.
Bring Variety
Rather than bringing several versions of the same outfit, aim for a small variety of looks. Examples might include:
• Something casual
• Something structured or elevated
• Something textured or cozy
• Something sleek or minimal
Many clients also choose one look that feels relaxed, one that feels powerful or elevated, and one that feels a little more daring. As a general guideline, we photograph one outfit every 30 minutes of shooting time.
And yes, nude counts as an outfit.
Studio Wardrobe
You will also have access to our studio wardrobe during your session. Our collection currently leans more female and femme-forward, but we are slowly building our men’s wardrobe selection as well.
Most clients do a hybrid approach, bringing a few favorite pieces from home and pairing them with items from the studio wardrobe. Some people bring everything from home, while others choose to style their entire session using pieces from our collection.
There’s no right or wrong approach. When you arrive, we’ll go through everything together and help style the pieces in a way that photographs beautifully.
Wardrobe Tips for Women
Lingerie is not required for boudoir. Some of our favorite looks actually come from simple pieces such as:
• Oversized sweaters
• Button-down shirts
• Graphic tees with cheeky bottoms
• Bodysuits
• Blazers or jackets
• Sheets or scarves
• Garter belts and thigh highs
You can mix pieces creatively.
For example:
• A cropped sweater paired with garter belt and stockings
• A beautiful bra paired with nothing else
• Your favorite vintage tee with bottoms
The goal is to reflect your personality and style, not to look like someone you aren’t.
Highlight Features You Love
Wardrobe can help draw attention to features you love.
Examples:
• Love your legs → shorter silhouettes or stockings
• Love your chest → plunge necklines
• Love your bum → thongs or cheeky bottoms
• Love your shoulders → off-the-shoulder pieces
If there are areas you feel less confident about, wardrobe can also help soften attention with sleeves, layers, or texture. Lighting and posing will also support this.
Wardrobe Tips for Men
We love photographing men in pieces that feel natural and authentic to them.
Great options include:
• Well-fitted boxer briefs
• Grey sweatpants
• Athletic or athleisure wear
• Cut-off jeans or casual shorts
• Work attire or uniforms
• Open button-down shirts
• Suits or structured pieces
We currently carry limited wardrobe options for men, so it’s important to bring items from home. As we continue building our men’s wardrobe collection, we’re always happy to help coordinate outfit ideas with you beforehand.
Wardrobe Tips for Couples
Couples sessions are all about contrast and connection. One of our favorite classic combinations is:
• A masculine partner in structured clothing or a suit
• A feminine partner in lingerie or softer fabrics
But couples can also explore:
• Cozy casual looks
• Coordinated neutrals
• Elevated date-night outfits
Don’t be afraid to dress up while you have the chance.
What Not to Bring
While we love creativity, there are a few wardrobe choices that tend to photograph poorly.
Try to avoid:
• Tiny busy patterns
• Neon colors
• Ill-fitting lingerie or bras
• Items you constantly adjust or feel uncomfortable in
• Wrinkled clothing
If you’re unsure about something, bring it anyway. We can always go through everything together and decide what will photograph best.
Color Analysis
If you’re unsure what colors photograph best on you, Jakie offers a personal color analysis service exclusively for our clients. This helps identify the tones that naturally complement your skin tone and features, making wardrobe decisions easier and ensuring your images feel cohesive and polished.
Many clients find this helpful not only for their session, but for building a wardrobe that works for them long after their shoot.
How We Work With Every Body
Everyone walks into their session with at least one thing about their body they feel unsure about. The good news is that wardrobe, lighting, and posing are incredibly powerful tools, and we use them intentionally to highlight what you love while softening anything you feel unsure about.
Body Confidence & Styling Tips
Almost everyone walks into their session with at least one thing about their body they feel unsure about. The good news is that lighting, wardrobe, and posing are incredibly powerful tools, and we use all three intentionally to highlight what you love and soften anything you feel unsure about. Below are some of the most common things clients bring up before their session and how we work with them.
Curvy Bodies
Bring on the form-fitting pieces. We love bodysuits, fitted dresses, lingerie, and sometimes nothing at all. We often see curvy clients trying to cover up more, but that usually has the opposite effect. Allowing us to see your figure and pose it intentionally is the best way to celebrate your shape and create beautiful images.
Slim or Straight Body Shapes
Curves are often created through posing and lighting, not just body shape. Form-fitting wardrobe or minimal styling works beautifully because it allows us to sculpt the body naturally with light and positioning.
Smaller Chest
Underwires and bralettes can be great options, but so is no bra at all, which we personally love for smaller chests. Small breasts photograph beautifully, so please don’t feel like you need to create extra volume unless it’s something you personally want.
Post-Pregnancy Changes
If your breasts sit a little lower than they once did, supportive bras or structured bodysuits can help provide lift. That said, posing plays a huge role here, and we’re very skilled at positioning the body in flattering ways. Bodies change over time, and we welcome them exactly as they are.
Menstrual Cycle or Bloating
Sometimes your cycle sneaks up on you and happens to fall on session day. If that happens, we recommend using a flex disc, menstrual cup, or tampon, as we can easily work around them. We also keep supplies at the studio just in case, including liners, ibuprofen, and Midol.
Scars & Stretch Marks
Our belief is that scars tell a story. Some clients prefer to keep them as part of their images, while others prefer that they be softened or removed during retouching. Because this is deeply personal, we will never remove scars or stretch marks unless you specifically request it. If you do request that retouching, we are happy to do it at no additional charge.
Wanting More Curve in the Booty
Thongs tend to make a butt look fuller than full-coverage bottoms or g-strings. Try different styles in the mirror to see what you like best. And don’t worry, we are pros at creating curves through posing, even when they aren’t naturally there. We can create a killer booty shot with any level of curve (or lack thereof).
Shorter Legs
Heels with a thin heel tend to elongate the legs more than chunky styles. Try to avoid:
• Thick ankle straps
• Square toes
Nude shoes can also visually lengthen the legs.
Dad Bods
Last time we checked, dad bods are very much in style. We may have you do a few push-ups during the session to help pump up the arms, but wardrobe, lighting, and posing also help balance the frame and guide attention naturally.
Thinning Hair or Bald Spots
We have makeup products that can help fill in thinning hair for both men and women. For longer styles, we’re also happy to help install clip-in extensions if you bring them. Human hair extensions tend to photograph best, and installing them ahead of time helps keep the hair and makeup timeline smooth.
Smiling or Teeth Concerns
You don’t have to smile in every photo. Some images will feel soft, serious, playful, or intimate. We guide expressions throughout the session so nothing feels forced. If there’s something about your smile that concerns you, we can also make subtle adjustments during editing if needed.
Talk to Us
If there is something about your body or appearance that you are still learning to love, please let us know. We would much rather talk through it before your session so we can plan wardrobe, posing, and lighting intentionally. Our goal at the end of the day is simple: We want you to have a really hard time narrowing down your images because you love them all.
2-4 Weeks Before Your Photo Shoot
PLAN AHEAD
It’s almost time for your session, lets talk about what you need to focus on 2-4 weeks prior to your session
BOOK YOUR MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS
If you want to schedule any hair appointments, manicure, pedicures, fitness classes etc do that ahead of time so you can ensure you have the space before they book out.
STRETCH + MOVEMENT
I always do my best to prepare my clients for how this type of shoot incorporates a lot of flexibility and mobility. While we always make modifications for limitations and any injuries, it’s best to start preparing your body as soon as you can. My recommendation is always YOGA because this will help you both breath and stretch many of the same places we will guide you through.
DRINK LOTS OF WATER
Water is the best thing for your skin and your mind. Aim to drink at least ½ your body weight in oz of water. This will also help with bloating. Drink, drink, drink.
EAT WELL
I don’t recommend any specific diet, however, I do know things like processed foods can add additional fluid to the body. So my recommendation is to eat well rounded meals that come from the earth or an animal. Things as much as you can not in a box. Lots of protein, veggies and fruit. Skip the fast food joints and be mindful. Your session is going to require you to be at your most optimal and nutrients are the foundation of that.
MAKE A PLAYLIST
Music will really help you get into the vibe! We use Spotify in our studio and we have a bluetooth speaker so feel free to create a playlist for hair and makeup as well as your photo shoot there and we can play it right from your phone!
PREP FOR YOUR STYLING SESSION
If you have booked a velvet or icon experience, you will be invited via private link to come to the studio before your session. Feel free to pack some things from home that you would like to bring and show up ready for the day. Trying on wardrobe with your hair and some makeup on will help you get a better idea of the final look, versus showing up unkept.
EXFOLIATE AND MOISTURIZE
A lot of your skin will be showing, start using an exfoliation mitt to remove your dead skin weekly and apply deep moisturizer. I personal like to add some baby oil and or aquaphor to my daily lotion to give extra moisture to my skin. Don’t forget to exfoliate your lips and moisturize them too!
PRIORITIZE GOOD SLEEP
Having a good sleep schedule is great for the skin, your mind and helping your body recover from the additional movement you may be doing. Ensure you are getting up to 8 hours per night if possible.
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 people and couples look good with killer poses, strategic lighting, and appropriate camera angles. We’ve photographed over 2,500 people 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 TAN BEFORE YOUR SHOOT
We know you think that you look better with a tan...but we assure you, even if you don’t see the streaks and unevenness with your naked eye, the camera will pick them up. You will photograph a lot more tan than you think you look (especially given that our specialty is low-key lighting and black and white imagery), and spray tans will photograph orange in color images. Trust us on this!! On that same note, no tinted lotions or bronzers on your body. Even after this warning we get a lot of women who message us to say that they’ve been spray tanning for years and they cannot fathom not doing so before a photo shoot. Of course we will still photograph you, but unfortunately our standard retouch will not account for spray tan correction, so just keep that in mind.
SPRAY TANS & SELF-TANNER
We understand that having a tan can feel confidence-boosting. However, we strongly recommend avoiding spray tans, tinted lotions, and bronzers before your session.
Even when a tan looks even in person, professional cameras, especially under studio lighting and high-resolution imagery, tend to pick up streaking, patchiness, and uneven tones that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Spray tans can also photograph more orange or unnatural in color images.
Because of this, spray tan correction is not included in standard retouching.
If you choose to tan anyway, we will absolutely still photograph you—just keep in mind that any unevenness may remain visible in your final images.
Natural skin always photographs the most timeless, clean, and true to you.
PROPS & PERSONAL ITEMS
Sentimental jewelry is always welcome. If you’re considering bringing a prop, ask yourself:
“Will this still feel like me in 10 years?”
Timeless pieces, like a meaningful necklace, wedding band, or favorite watch, photograph beautifully and add depth without distraction.
We recommend avoiding:
Jerseys
Military apparel
Weapons
Sports equipment
Costume masks
Anything overly themed or costume-like
The focus of your session is you, not the object.
That said, we are always open to intentional pieces that feel aligned with your story.
For Men’s Sessions
Items like construction hats, suspenders, or tools of your trade can work well, as long as they feel authentic, not performative.
Simple. Intentional. Personal.
ALCOHOL + DRUGS
To ensure the best experience and results, we strongly recommend avoiding alcohol the night before your session.
We do offer a light beverage option (champagne, wine, or beer) during hair and makeup to help you relax and settle into the experience. This is limited to one drink.
Arriving clear, present, and fully in your body allows us to create images that feel authentic, connected, and truly reflective of you.
For safety, professionalism, and consent-based work, we do not photograph clients who appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
If we suspect impairment at any point, we reserve the right to end or reschedule the session, and your deposit will be forfeited.
This policy is in place to protect both you and the integrity of the experience we create together.
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, we recommend scheduling it about one week in advance so it has time to settle naturally. Fresh cuts and color can sometimes feel or photograph differently than expected right away.
We want you walking into your session feeling like your most confident, aligned self, not adjusting to something unfamiliar.
The goal is you, just refined, not reinvented.
MINDSET: HOW YOU TALK ABOUT YOURSELF MATTERS
Energy translates in photographs.
When you walk into your session focused on what you love about yourself, that confidence shows up in a powerful, natural way on camera. We encourage you to lean into what you adore, your legs, your shoulders, your smile, your strength.
At the same time, we understand that everyone has areas that feel more vulnerable. If there’s something you feel self-conscious about, you’re welcome to share it with us in a grounded way:
“I love my ___, and I feel a little more sensitive about my ___.”
This allows us to support you without anchoring the experience in self-criticism.
We will always be mindful of your sensitivities, while also gently guiding you into new perspectives, creating images that may help you see yourself differently.
Our goal isn’t to hide you.
It’s to help you appreciate yourself more fully.

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!
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.

CREATE A SECRET PINTEREST BOARD
We want you to head on over to Pinterest and create a secret board called “(YOUR NAME) Boudoir”. Follow us, and then invite us to join your board that you’ve named “YOUR NAME PHOTO SHOOT”, and we want you to spend some time pinning images that speak to you. See our tip on this up above in the “Planning” suggestions. Don’t put too much thought into your pins, we just want to get a general idea of the aesthetic style you’re drawn to.
If you don’t have a pinterest account and don’t feel like creating one, then just email us a sampling of at least 20 different images you’ve found online that you like.
