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. Instead, the first thing that we ask clients to do is to create a “secret” Pinterest board for their photo session. If you are not a Pinterest user, you can also just send us some photos, but we find that the secret board on Pinterest is the best way for everyone to get a good visual of the concept we’re going for.

Once that’s done, we’d like you to create a Pinterest board titled “ (YOUR NAME) Boudoir” (it’s very important that you name your board with your name because otherwise we’ll have a hundred “MY BOUDOIR SHOOT” boards and won’t know who is who) and, without thinking too much about it, we want you to PIN anything that speaks to you and your style. We have lots of boards on for you to reference, but you can also take it upon yourself to venture out into Pinterest or pin images directly from this page or the rest of our website!

Try to turn off your fear and over-thinking at this point.Don’t say things like “OHH that’s so beautiful, but I would NEVER be able to pull that off!” or “I WISH I could look like that!”. That’s not the point of this exercise. After pinning 25 or so images, we will very easily be able to get a visual of your style and the type of images you are interested in. Do you like sweet, bright, and bubbly? Do you like dark, moody, and seductive? Do you like shots that capture the entire body? Do you like close-up teaser shots of body parts? Do you prefer more modest portraits? We’ll find out together! The purpose of this is NOT to find photos to replicate! It is inspiration and now that we’ll both know the kind of images you really like, it will be easier to deliver a set of photos that are YOUR STYLE, as long as it syncs well with our artistic style
