Frequently Asked Questions

Boudoir Session

GENERAL

Where are you based?

I’m based in my hometown of San Antonio, TX.

Who is boudoir photography for?

Boudoir is for everyone. My sessions are inclusive of all gender identities, races, sexual orientations, body sizes, and abilities. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, embracing self-love, or surprising a partner, this experience is all about you. Couples are welcome, too!

Do you photograph people of all sizes and shapes?

Absolutely! Boudoir is about celebrating you, exactly as you are. I work with every body type and will guide you through poses that highlight your favorite features.

I noticed you’re a male boudoir photographer. What should I expect?

I get it—most boudoir photographers are women, so this might not be what you expected. But honestly, it doesn’t change a thing. My focus is on capturing you in a way that makes you feel confident, powerful, and comfortable.

My wife was actually the one who encouraged me to get into boudoir because she felt my approach would bring out a more authentic, natural side of people. Some boudoir photography can feel over-the-top or overly retouched, making people look nothing like themselves. That’s not what I do. I want you to see you. If it helps, you’re always welcome to bring a friend, and I’m happy to answer any questions before your session.

I’m nervous! Is that normal?

100%—and totally expected! Almost everyone feels a little nervous at first, but within a few minutes, you’ll feel completely at ease. I guide you through the entire process, from posing to expressions, so you never have to worry about “what to do.” My goal is for you to leave your session feeling confident, empowered, and maybe even a little badass.

I have never done anything like this before. How will I know what to do?

This is my entire job! Making you feel comfortable, guiding you, and posing you the entire time. From your hands to your feet to your face, I’ll direct you so you never feel lost. You don’t need to know what to do—I’ve got you!

Will my photos be posted on your website?

Your boudoir session is all about celebrating you, and I deeply respect your comfort level when it comes to sharing your images. While many clients find it empowering to inspire others on their self-love journey, every image I share has been approved by the client.

After your session, you can choose your model release preference:

Keep everything private.
Share only anonymous photos where you’re not recognizable.
Share anything, just keep it tasteful—I trust you.
Set custom rules based on your comfort level.

No matter what you decide, your privacy is my priority!

PLANNING & PREPARATION

What should I wear?

Wear what makes you feel amazing! Some popular options include lingerie, bodysuits, oversized sweaters, a favorite t-shirt, or even nothing at all—it’s all about your comfort level. Accessories like jewelry or fabrics can also add variety to your session. If you’re unsure, I can help with outfit guidance!

How many outfits can I bring?

Most clients use 2-3 outfits, but bringing extra options gives us flexibility to pick what works best on the day of your session.

Do you offer a client closet?

I don’t currently provide wardrobe options, but I’m happy to offer styling guidance to help you choose pieces that flatter your body and fit your desired vibe.

Do you offer hair & makeup?

Most of my clients prefer a natural look and do their own hair and makeup. However, if you’d like a professional touch, I have a list of vendors I highly recommend.

Should I get a wax before my session?

If you normally get waxed, be sure to schedule it at least 3-5 days before your session to avoid redness or irritation.

SESSION DETAILS

Where do sessions take place?

You can choose where you’d like your session—at home, an Airbnb, a rented studio, outdoors, or another private location that fits your vision.

How long does a boudoir session last?

Typically, 90 minutes to 2 hours. I take things at a comfortable pace because everyone needs a little time to relax and ease into the session.

Is nudity required?

Nope! Boudoir is all about your comfort level. Some clients prefer to stay fully clothed, some love implied nudity, and others go for full nudity—it’s completely up to you.

Can I bring a friend?

Yes! If bringing a friend will help you feel more comfortable, they’re welcome to come along for support.

DELIVERY & FINAL PRODUCTS

Do you retouch/edit photos?

Yes, but my editing is natural and true to you. I won’t alter your body or remove permanent features like scars, but I do lightly retouch temporary blemishes, redness, and skin smoothing for a polished, professional look.

How long will it take to receive my photos?

Your edited images will be ready within 2-3 weeks. You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view and download them securely.

How many photos will I receive?

It varies, but typically around 50-75 edited photos from your session.

How can I use my boudoir images after the photo shoot?

Many clients choose an album to keep their images private but beautifully preserved. Some also print anonymous detail shots to display in their bedroom or bathroom. I can help you decide what works best for you!

What is the process for ordering prints?

Super simple! Your private online gallery includes a built-in print store where you can order prints and albums. I handle any necessary cropping before sending them to my professional print lab, and they’ll be shipped directly to you.

BOOKING

What is included in your boudoir session package?

✓ A private online gallery of your images (only you have access)

I’m doing this as a gift! When should I schedule my session?

Plan to have your session 6-8 weeks before you need your album or prints. If you’re gifting this for a wedding, I recommend booking at least two months in advance to allow time for editing and product delivery.
