What you can expect during your shoot
So you decided you're doing this thing! YAY!
First things first, you'll arrive at my studio in Lubbock where I am happy to come downstairs and help you carry your things inside! (my studio is in an upstairs loft). Then, we step through the door. Whew, you've made it!
Once in the studio and after we have met, I will help get you settled in. I'll even offer you a beverage and/or snack of your choice!
....sometimes a little wine can settle those nerves (;
Then we'll go over the paperwork and model releases so I know how I can best serve you and respect your boundaries!
Welcome
Hair and Makeup
Once we get you settled in, you can rest easy for the next hour and a half! We'll pamper you like the queen you are! We'll chit chat and talk to get to know each other while listening to some good music to get you hyped up! Oh, and girl...just wait until you see how HOT you look!!
After you're all glammed up, I'll take a look at what you've brought to shoot in! I'll ask you a few questions about where you found them, what they mean to you if you brought something owned by your significant other, and then I will assess which area/colors/scenery/etc to shoot each outfit with and which outfit to start out with.
After that, its time for you to get changed! While you change in the very spacious and private changing room, I will be getting things set up for your first outfit and doing some test shots of the area to be sure I get my settings down.
and then....ITS GO TIME!!!!
Wardrobe
By now you've probably learned how "serious" I am.
I'm a spazz a lot of the time, especially when I'm excited! I know we all have our moments, where we get shy or unsure of ourselves, but when I'm photographing, I am my most authentic self no matter what...even if I'm a little goofy and weird and curse like a sailor. You'll learn VERY quickly that when you're in my studio, you don't have to feel shy or embarrassed about being your most authentic self, because the true you is what I love to see! My job is to help you see that you are beautiful, inside and out, just as you are
...and that you're like...the baddest bitch alive.
As far as posing goes, I DO NOT expect you to know how to pose on your own!! Most girls don't and that is TOTALLY okay!!
Don't you worry!! I've 100% got you covered. I have been professionally modeling for a little over 6 years now, so I am very experienced in the art of pose.
I will physically show you each and every pose and coach you through what to do with your face, hands, feet, eyes, etc! I will warn you now, you'll probably be sore the next day. I promise not to make you do anything too crazy like gymnastics or ballet..(unless you want to!) Girl, just trust me. I PROMISE once you see your images, the soreness will be totally worth it! The fact is, some boudoir poses can be uncomfortable, so I do my best to get you into a pose, snap those fire-ass shots, and let you rest a bit before the next one. I do recommend a bit of stretching exercises before your session to help with this, but definitely expect to be a little sore the next day. That being said, if you inform me that you're uncomfortable with poses that show or accentuate certain areas, or if you have problems/injuries/ailments/etc with "xyz" body part, I will definitely respect your wishes and we can refrain from those and do other poses that you are more comfortable with, while still looking like the undeniably stunning woman that you are!
If you have any ideas at any time before or during your shoot, please let me know! I love trying new things, and I want to be sure that you get everything out of this experience that you're wanting!
Posing
The Wrap Up
When your session has come to an end, I will help you gather your things while we chat about how much fun we had and how everything went. Then, I'll show you a few of your images on my camera! (I mean I do that anyways during the shoot because I can't be the only one that knows why I'm screaming "YAAASSS OMG!! STUNNING!!! QUEEEEEEEEENNNNN!!!" over and over...), but let's get real, I'm probably gonna show you again.
...*Alexa, play "Oops, I Did It Again" by Britney Spears*...
Then, we will discuss the next steps. This includes going over all the various products that I offer as well as pricing, waiting/shipping times etc. I have a TON of beautiful and unique products to showcase your images, for either gifting to your significant other, or to have as a personal keepsake to remind yourself what an absolute SMOKE SHOW you are!!
If you wish to purchase a product, I will send you instructions for my completely confidential online gallery. This way, you will get to choose your favorite images for the product that you purchase!
Once we've finished going through all of your options, I will help you carry your things back down and bid you farewell to make sure you make it safely to your vehicle. After that, I'll be working on editing your photos while audibly screaming bc you're literally so stunning I cannot even handle it. Sorry, not sorry.
