"Boudoir" - What is it all about? Q&A's


Okay, so I know some of you ladies may have questions about my "Boudoir" Sessions.   So, I thought the best thing to do is make a Q&A for my clients!  If you HAVE any additional questions, that I may not have addressed, please shoot me an email on my website. :D

First off, if you would like to see a gallery of a Boudoir Session I've done, contact me through email or phone (information on my website) and I will give you the password.  Yes, it IS password protected.

Alright, Q&A below:

1.OH MY GOSH, will you post MY photographs all over your BLOG or Facebook?!

 First off, the model who you see on my BLOG is Brandy T.  She has given FULL consent for me to use her images as part of my advertising FOR "Boudoir" and for her own use.  I would never EVER put your "Boudoir" images on my BLOG for the world to see.  There will not be a +Teaser+ (a.k.a. Sneak Peek) either.  So, please do not worry that your images, that you hold very close to heart will be plastered all over my BLOG or Facebook.  These images are private and for YOUR eyes only... and maybe your hubby's.  hehe  You will be provided with an online gallery WITH a password that will only be given to YOU.  It is up to YOU whether or not you would like to share that password with anyone else.

2.Why should I do a "Boudoir" Session?

One question that I want you to ask you is:  why not?  Is it your hips?  Your thighs?  Your waist?  Your arms?  Your bust? A turkey neck that you *think* is there?  Teeth that may not be as straight as an arrow? Your "baby belly" from giving birth to a child?    It doesn't matter if you're a size 20 or a size 2... you will be captured so beautifully.  I work with props (sheets, oversized shirts, etc.), lighting (natural light) and I know SO many great poses for ALL different body types.  No TWO bodies are designed the same... and I do not intend to capture each of you "the same way".   You will be very pleased with the results, I promise.

3. What happens in a "Boudoir" Session?  Do I strip down to nothing... In FRONT of you?!  :O

No... you do not walk into "my" Boudoir and strip down to nothing.  You will be given a private room to change in, relax in with bottled water and ambient lighting.  You will also have time to fix any last minute hair styles, touch up your lipstick and take a minute to relax.  I will go at YOUR pace with this session.  You need to be 100% comfortable with me, my camera and the session pace.  I usually talk "through" the session to put you at ease... I take your mind off of everything and focus on YOU: your hobbies, your favorite music, great movies you've seen lately, etc...  It will be like talking with an old friend... and that brings comfort. :)

4.  Ew... I have cellulite!  Why in the world would I want that captured?!

Don't worry about cellulite.  I promise, with my poses, lighting, and editing, your cellulite will not show.  Nor will ANY other part of your body that you are uncomfortable with.  I am here to capture the sexy, vibrant, and confident Y-O-U!  Be-YOU-tiful! <---(word taken from Cathy Empey!  Thank you CATHY!)

5.  What if I'm not any good at doing my makeup.... or hair?!  I want to look sexy... like that woman I saw in my "InSyle" magazine!


First off, IF you can afford to hire someone to do your hair and makeup for the session, DO IT.  It is SO worth the money.  I've worked with women who have had their makeup and hair done by a professional AND women who haven't.  If you can afford it and you want to treat yourself OR if it's time to get your roots "touched up", then do it!  And go to someone you trust or someone who has an trustworthy list of references (like from your Best Friend).  If you're pretty good at pulling off "that look" right off of the magazine page yourself, go ahead and do it yourself.  If you have that artistic flare and can mimic a look, do it! :D  And if you need help, I am here also.  I am not licensed by any means FOR makeup/hair, but I have a background in helping with makeup.  I can mimic just about any look:  the smokey eye, the natural, the bed head, the classic, etc...  I will not do your entire face or head of hair but I can help with what you've started if you're having trouble.  I'm sure there is a certain look you've seen in a magazine, in a movie, etc... that has inspired you.  Tear that page out, bring the movie box, etc...  The best way to get ideas is to "save" your inspirations... :D

I hope this Q&A has helped answer any questions you may have about my "Boudoir" Sessions.  I have a private gallery on-line of a recent "Boudoir" Session.  You will need to email me to receive the password.  Again, this is for anyone who is interested in a "Boudoir" Session or is *thinking* of doing a "Boudoir" Session.  If you are worried about "what will the images look like, what is your style when shooting "Boudoir"", etc... I think you will be very pleasantly surprised...

Email me for the password!  If you would like to book a session, please call 601/ 408.1921  or you can email me at andrearose3@yahoo.com

Thank you and have a be-YOU-tiful day!

Andrea :D
