Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from a boudoir photo shoot in San Diego?
During a boudoir photography session, you can expect to capture intimate, beautiful images that showcase your beauty in a tasteful and classy way.
Your session will be tailored to fit your personality and style, so it’s important to communicate with your boudoir photographer to ensure that you get the results that you desire.
How long should a boudoir session last?
A typical session in San Diego will usually last around 3 to 4 hours, but this can vary depending on your needs and our arrangement.
This allows for plenty of time for outfit changes and for us to capture different poses and angles. It also gives you more time for getting comfortable with the camera, which is essential for looking natural in your boudoir pictures.
How do I prepare my body for a boudoir photo shoot?
Preparing your body for a boudoir photo shoot involves making sure you’re well-hydrated and rested in order to look refreshed in front of the camera and feel your best.
For optimal results, you can moisturize your skin before the session or do your own makeup if you prefer it to our professional makeup, but this is not necessary. The most important thing is that you enjoy yourself.
What do you wear for a boudoir photo shoot?
Lingerie is always a popular choice for boudoir photography, but it’s absolutely not required if you don’t feel like wearing it.
You can also choose pieces such as bodysuits, slip dresses, or other props like robes or jewelry – whatever makes you feel sexy and confident while still staying true to yourself. Make sure that whatever pieces you choose fit properly and that you feel comfortable in them. You can bring your own clothes, choose from our selection, or mix and match.
