Boudoir by Fabiana Frequently Asked Questions
Below you will find some common questions related to the boudoir session itself as well as preparation for it. I am hoping it will help address most of your concerns. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
- HOW LONG DOES A BOUDOIR SESSION TAKE?
-
Our sessions typically take about 1.5 hour to 2 hours. That allows us ample time to capture several beautiful images.
- DO I HAVE TO BRING A PAIR OF HIGH HEEL SHOES TO THE SESSION?
-
If you want to! Classic high heels in black or nude can elevate your look and typically work well with any outfit.
- DOES THE PRICE OF THE BOUDOIR SESSION INCLUDE HAIR AND MAKEUP?
-
Yes. The booking fee of $690 reserves your date on our calendar, consultation, lingerie guide, studio, HMUA and $500 image credit.
- DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ABOUT BEST OUTFITS FOR A BOUDOIR SESSION?
-
The best outfit is the one that makes you feel confident and beautiful. It also has to be comfortable. Just remember that boudoir does not always mean lingerie. Some women are not comfortable in lingerie and that’s completely fine. An oversized sweater that shows off your shoulders or legs, a robe, a t-shirt, an evening gown that reveals your back, shoulders or neck can all be wonderful alternatives to traditional lingerie. Stores such as Victoria Secret’s, Anthropology, Free People, LaPerla and many local boutiques with amazing lingerie. This is just a few ideas where you can find unique outfits for your session.
- I LIVE OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA. DO YOU OFFER SESSIONS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY AND IF SO, HOW WOULD THAT WORK?
-
Yes, I do offer sessions outside of the city. There is an additional fee for commuting out of state. If you live out of state the fee would include the drive, flight, and accommodations. Please contact me to discuss availability for out-of-state sessions.
- DO ALL THE SESSIONS TAKE PLACE AT YOUR STUDIO OR DO I GET TO CHOOSE THE LOCATION?
-
While most sessions take place in our studio, you can actually choose an alternative location. A boudoir session can be done anywhere- on a beach, in a garden, at your home, in a hotel or an apartment- it is up to you what setting you are looking for. I have experience working in any of these settings.
- CAN I BRING PROPS TO THE SESSION?
-
The photographs I take of you are meant to be very classic and show the romantic, sensual part of you. For that reason, we should discuss what props would you like to include during your session.
- I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE A BOUDOIR SESSION AS A GIFT FOR SOMEONE ELSE. DO YOU OFFER GIFT CERTIFICATES?
-
Yes, of course! Gift certificates are available. Please contact us with questions on how to purchase one.
- CAN I BRING A FRIEND OVER TO MY BOUDOIR SESSION?
-
A boudoir session is a very special form of photography that requires focus and concentration on both sides. It has been my experience that additional people in the room cause distraction. Clients often feel timid in front of the camera when others are observing.
- WHO PARTICIPATES IN THE SESSION?
-
During the actual session, there is only a photographer and the client, after you get your hair and make-up in the studio, the artist would leave before the session begins.
- WILL MY PHOTOS BE MADE PUBLIC?
-
No, we never publish our clients’ photos unless we have explicit approval and agreement from you.
