Hair + Makeup
Professional Hair and Makeup is included in your session fee, however, it is always OPTIONAL! You are not required to use my makeup artist or to have your hair and makeup professionally done, if you wish to do it yourself! I totally get it, girl!
However, should you choose to include the professional hair and makeover services in your boudoir experience, please let my hair & makeup artist work her magic as she highlights your gorgeous features!
Come with your hair DRY and 1-day dirty and your face thoroughly exfoliated, clean, makeup-free, and moisturized. If there are certain makeup looks you love, I ask that you email me your inspiration photos before your session so that I can make the artist aware of your requests! You may email these images to me at hello@wilderloveboudoir.com.
Payment
Your non-refundable $249 retainer serves as your session fee and is required in order to reserve your boudoir date and time. For collections and a la carte items, I do offer in-house payment plans with a 4% service processing fee. For cash payments made in full, I offer 5% discounts. You may set up a prepayment plan with BONUS perks to support your budgeting needs. You may also set up a post-payment plan with the studio, but you will not receive any digital or physical products until your total balance is paid in full. I offer Affirm, Afterpay, and Paypal Credit options so that you have instant access to your digitals as soon as they’re edited and complete! Please inquire with me about your payment options.
Scheduling
Boudoir sessions and studio times are scheduled and reserved several weeks in advance. Cancellations and reschedules must be made via email or phone at least 48 hours prior to your session. All payments made are considered non-refundable.
Wardrobe
Once you've booked your session, look out for my "What To Wear" and “Flatter Your Figure” emails complete with a packing list and online and in-store shopping guide to help you plan for your best boudoir session! My general recommendation is to wear something that makes you feel sexy, comfortable and confident! Don’t hesitate to ask for outfit recommendations. I love getting to help with sexy outfit inspiration!
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the experience cost and what does it include?
The Bombshell Wilderlove Boudoir experience itself is only 249 and includes a 1.5-hour boudoir photoshoot and professional hair and makeover session. It does not include prints or products. It is completely risk-free with my “Try Before You Buy” program. If you do not LOVE your photos, I will refund you the 249 and you can walk away with one freebie digital image for your time! When you LOVE all of your images (and I know that you will), I will credit the 249 to the collection of your choice!
I know I’ll love my photos! What is the cost of your collections?
After your photoshoot, we’ll take 1-1.5 hours to select your photos and talk about the best collection for your taste and budget. All the photos you choose will be edited, and you’ll have options ranging from digital images only to prints and wall art pieces! Collections start at 1499. A la carte products are also available at 699. While the most popular choice amongst my Bombshells is the Siren Collection (3999), some ladies only go with the a la carte products, and that is okay. Some spend just 699 and some spend several thousand. It all depends on how luxurious you want your products to be, and how you want to memorialize this moment in your self-love journey… forever!
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! I offer both pre-payment and post-payment plans. Pre-payment plans come with perks or extra bonuses! In-house studio financing is available for 4, 6, and 8 months, with a 4% service fee per payment. For any payments made in cash, I offer a 5% discount.
Do you have a preferred makeup artist that you use?
Yes! Her name is Jessie Hamby and she is fabulous! She has been in the beauty and fashion industry for over 10 years, and she is the perfect addition at Wilderlove Boudoir Studio! Check out her work here: https://www.glambyjessiehamby.com/about-glambyjhamby
What equipment do you use?
I use Canon equipment. I always carry the 5D Mark IV, my 50 mm lens and 35 mm lens, among other items, to all my boudoir sessions.
Do you photograph outdoor boudoir?
Yes! I do and have. My current studio location is not set up to support outdoor boudoir, but I am HAPPY to discuss your outdoor boudoir ideas if you have access to private property or are up for an adventure! I love traveling to waterfalls, the beach, or mountains for boudoir!
Are the people featured on your site models?
Nope! While I am lucky enough to work with gorgeous clients, the majority of the images shown in my private boudoir Facebook group, on my website, and social media are regular, everyday women, just like you!
Will my photos be posted publicly on your site or social media?
I respect your privacy and allow each client to decide whether or not they want their photos displayed publicly. At the end of your session, I send you a photo release agreement and you get to choose what you’re comfortable with showing (or not showing!). I’d love to show YOU and your spicy images off in my private Facebook boudoir group if you’re game! You would be required to sign a model release. If not, that's okay, too!
Do you travel?
YES! Traveling for boudoir requires a customized quote so please email me at hello@wilderloveboudoir.com.
Have YOU ever done boudoir?
Yep, twice. Once as a bride and once for myself. I completely empathize with your insecurities. I will laugh with you and cry with you during your boudoir session. I can also confidently say that I am proud of you. Gifting yourself with boudoir is so rewarding. I promise you that it will be worth it.
What sets you apart from other boudoir photographers?
With years of training under my belt, I know how to pose and guide clients through the sometimes vulnerable process that is boudoir. I do my very best to make my clients feel relaxed while looking their very best. Unlike most self-taught photographers, I have a formal education and degree in portrait photography, and over the years I have won many awards for my work. I am professionally trained in both natural and studio lighting. I also have a great, approachable personality, and I make sure my boudoir sessions are effortlessly fun!
Will I get the print release to my photos after my session?
No, I do not offer print releases but you have the option to purchase your full digital collection and do what you wish with those images!
Do I have to order prints through you?
Yes. My boudoir collections include professional-quality products and prints. I can also reprint any mistake made by the lab, at no extra cost to you. The difference in quality is huge when it comes to ordering through a professional lab, and I would love to help you with your collection choices!
Could I order prints elsewhere if I purchase the rights to my digital files?
Absolutely. The cost for a full digital collection of ALL your images is 4999. This is in addition to your session fee. I also offer partial collections and you can choose as many or as few digital files as you'd like. I love giving my bombshell babes all the options!
Will you Photoshop my images to hide any unwanted spots, wrinkles, etc?
Minor edits will be made to all of your images, but I believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful and unique. I do remove bruises, scratches, and under-eye bags, and everyone gets a little skin-smoothing, so do not worry! If there are specific edits you want, your requests must be discussed at our reveal session and extensive retouching may require additional fees.
