Frequently asked
Boudoir Sessions
Before deciding
What is a boudoir session?
It is an intimate photo session, made in a private environment, that values your presence, your expression and the way you feel. It is not a mandatory nude session or an erotic session - the record is defined by you, with me, before the day.
Is this for me?
If you are reading this page, probably yes. I photograph real people, of all ages and shapes. Most of my clients had never done anything like this and arrived with fear of not knowing how to pose or not having a "body for this". That's exactly what the preparation, light and direction I give throughout the session exist for.
Do I have to know how to pose?
No. No one knows. I direct the pose and expression from the beginning to the end of the session - at no time do you decide alone what to do.
Do I have to undress?
No. Set the level of exposure with me before the session and can reduce it at any time. Never increase it at my suggestion. What to define in the previous conversation is recorded in writing and is what is valid on the day.
How does the process begin?
With a conversation. We schedule a call or video call, without commitment, where I realise what you have in mind, the style you are looking for and where your limits are. Only after that we talk about dates.
Preparation
How do I prepare?
After the previous conversation, I send you a written preparation guide. It covers wardrobe, footwear, skin care, nails and hair, and also tells you what to avoid in the previous 24 to 48 hours - tight clothing that leaves marks, too recent hair removal and tanning.
What should I take?
We talked about it in the previous conversation and I help her choose. As a general rule, pieces that sit well and that make you feel good - not necessarily the most expensive or the most revealing.
Are makeup and hair included?
No. They are at your discretion, and the marking and payment are made directly by you and your sole responsibility.
Where is the session?
The place is chosen by you. That's what makes sense: the place where the session takes place conditions the result as much as any style decision, and that choice should start from what you're looking for - the atmosphere you have in mind, the record you want in the images, and the space where you feel at ease.
My part is technical. After telling me where you would like to photograph, I evaluate what the light allows you to do there: where the natural light comes from, which way the windows are facing, what time the sun hits them, the space available to work and the privacy conditions. I tell you frankly what you can do on this site, what is the best time window and, if there are limitations, what they are and how I contour them.
On the day
Can I take someone with me?
Yes. Bring whoever makes you feel more comfortable - for me it's not a bother at all.
What if I feel uncomfortable during the session?
I will confirm with you throughout the session. You can interrupt at any time, or ask you to delete a pose, without penalisation and without having to justify.
Will I see the photos during the session?
Yes. I'll show you the screen images throughout the session, so we can validate the course before continuing. Don't wait for the final result to realise if it's going well.
Later
How do I receive the photos?
I send you a private gallery, protected by password, where you make your selection. Then I deliver the final images in high resolution, plus optimised versions for mobile phones and social networks.
What kind of edition is included?
I treat light, colour, exposure, contrast and temporary skin corrections - pimples, redness, transient marks. I don't change the proportions or shape of the body. If you want something different from that, I'll tell you frankly at the start, so that there is no expectation to fulfil.
Privacy
Who sees my photos?
Only the Customer, unless otherwise authorised by you in writing. The gallery I give you is private and password protected.
Will you publish my photos on the website or on the networks?
I do not publish any image without your written authorisation, specific and separate. If you give this authorisation, you can withdraw it at any time.
Where are the files stored?
In safe storage, with a conservation period that I declare to you at the start. I also keep a backup for a defined period after delivery.
Can I ask you to delete everything?
Yes. I delete the files if you ask me.
Still have doubts?
Schedule a call or video call with me, without commitment. I'd rather you answer all the questions before deciding than to decide without having taken them away.
