Interested in a shoot of your own but got questions?
So… you checked out the photos and now want a session of your own, but have a few questions before you book your date? Check out the F.A.Q page.
Calgary boudoir photography, Lacie Lou Boudoir answers all your frequently asked questions about getting your own boudoir session.
What is Boudoir Photography?
Boudoir- (French: [bu.dwa?], English: /’bu:d.w?:r/)
Boudoir Photography is for every woman of any age, religious/spiritual belief, size or material status. We cater to YOU specifically as we believe that nothing should stand in your way to feel beautiful, sexy and confident about who you are and what you look like! We will work with you in anyway we can to ensure you walk away from our studio feeling empowered, sexy, feminine and fearless!
Who will take my Boudoir pictures?
Moi! Your boudoir session is all about YOU and only you, it will be private and I will be the only person there with you during your shoot, guiding you every step of the way!
If you decide to bring your BFF you are more than welcome to but please be sure you are extremely comfortable with your BFF. I just ask that your friend does not interfere with the session trying to “fix you up” or touch things up…that is what I am here for! 😉
What should I wear for my Boudoir Photography Session?
This is the most commonly asked question and I always answer it the same way. It is imperative that you bring outfits in which you feel absolutely nothing short of amazing in. Most tend to bring an array of lingerie but you are welcome to bring anything you want and we will capture you at your bestest! We’ve had ladies who were not into lingerie and that’s fine as well…we can use a bed sheet, a super awesome throw….or nothing at all!
Is it okay if I bring someone along for my Boudoir Photo Shoot?
If you decide to bring your BFF you are more than welcome to but please be sure you are extremely comfortable with your BFF. I just ask that your friend does not interfere with the session trying to “fix you up” or touch things up…that is what I am here for! ?
Do I have to be nude?
If you want to! Don’t be nervous! Boudoir photographers are like doctors… they have seen it all and they don’t judge!
Is there anything I need to know the day of my photo session?
o Be sure to eat a light snack and drink lots of water.
o Avoid tight undergarments that may leave marks on your skin.
o Moisturized skin is always suggested.
o If you are getting make-up application, please come with a freshly washed face.
o For hair styling please wash hair the night before and skip the products.
Will you post my images on the web?
All images are kept secure and are only used after I confirmed permissions.
What if I don’t like my legs/tummy/arms?
Every woman is beautiful and I help women of all shapes and sizes to embrace their body…as it is…beautiful! I do try to smooth out wrinkles, acne, cellulite and stretch marks.
My job as YOUR boudoir photographer is to capture you at the best angle possible and show off your body in a feminine and flattering way.
