FAQ

It sounds like fun, but I think I'm too nervous!

Feeling nervous is completely normal—almost everyone who walks through my door feels that way at first. You don’t need to arrive confident, fearless, or ready to perform. Nerves are part of doing something brave, and they’re always welcome here.

We’ll move at your pace, with clear guidance and support every step of the way. As the session unfolds, most people find that the nerves soften and confidence starts to build—not because fear disappears, but because they realize they’re safe and capable.

What you’ll leave with isn’t just photographs, but the experience of having done something bold for yourself—and that feeling tends to linger long after the session ends.

I’m not a model and don’t feel like I’m at my “ideal” weight—can you still get good photos of me?

Absolutely. You do not need to be a model, confident, or at any specific stage with your body to be photographed beautifully.

With over 15 years of experience in boudoir and portrait photography, I’ve worked with people of all shapes, sizes, and comfort levels—and most have never been in front of a camera like this before. I’ll guide you through every pose with clear direction, gentle adjustments, and encouragement along the way. If it helps, I’m also happy to demonstrate poses so you’re never left guessing.

You don’t have to know how to pose or feel “ready.” Showing up is the brave part. From there, my job is to support you, hype you up when you’re ready, and create images that reflect you with care and intention.

What should I wear, and can I change outfits?

Wear what makes you feel confident, curious, or simply comfortable in your body. That might be lingerie, but it doesn’t have to be—boudoir can include anything from soft layers and cozy knits to structured pieces, button-downs, or nothing at all. There’s no single “right” way to show up.

Most sessions include around three to five outfits, and you’re always welcome to bring more options. It’s completely normal for something you loved at home to feel different on the day of your shoot, and having choices allows us to respond to how you’re feeling in the moment.

As your Orlando boudoir photographer, I’ll guide you through outfit selections before and during your session, and once you’re booked, I’ll share my personal recommendations and styling tips. You won’t be left guessing—I’m here to support you every step of the way so you can focus on the experience, not the decisions.

We’ll choose what feels right together—nothing is locked in.

Do you provide any clothing?

Yes—my studio includes a curated client closet that all clients are welcome to explore during their session. You’ll also have access to a selection of accessories, body jewelry, heels, robes, bridal pieces, and styling elements that can be layered in if they feel right for you.

That said, I always recommend bringing a few pieces of your own as well. Items from your own wardrobe tend to fit best and often carry a sense of familiarity that helps you feel more comfortable and confident. Together, we’ll blend your personal favorites with studio pieces in a way that feels intentional and true to you.

Can I bring a friend?

You’re welcome to bring one support person who is over the age of 18 to your session if that feels helpful to you. Many clients choose to have their friend relax in the waiting area for the first few outfits so they can settle in, get comfortable, and ease into the experience before inviting them in.

For ordering sessions, I ask that only those directly involved in purchasing decisions attend. Significant others are always welcome to be part of the ordering appointment when the images are being selected together.

The goal is to create a space that feels supportive, focused, and comfortable—so you can stay present and fully enjoy the experience.

Can I do nudes?

Yes—if that’s something you want.

Nude or fine-art nude images are always optional, and your comfort level sets the tone. These images are never expected and are only explored if and when they feel right for you. Many clients choose to incorporate them toward the end of their session, once confidence has built and they’re feeling more settled in their bodies.

When they’re created, fine-art nudes are approached with intention and care—focused on shape, light, and presence rather than performance. They often become some of my favorite images from a session, not because of how much is shown, but because of the trust, confidence, and presence that come through in them.

Do you retouch photos?

Yes, every image you see is thoughtfully polished while still staying true to you. Retouching is focused on things like skin tone consistency, minor blemishes, and overall finish, not changing your body or altering who you are.

Stretch marks, scars, freckles, softness—those things are part of your story, and they’re never removed without your consent. If there’s something specific you’re self-conscious about, we can always talk it through. Retouching here is about care and intention, not perfection.

I don't want my images displayed on the website. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Your images are private by default.

Nothing from your session is ever shared on my website, social media, or in the studio unless you give explicit permission. Your comfort, trust, and boundaries always come first, and choosing to keep your images private will never change the care, experience, or attention you receive.

Any images you see shared publicly have been posted with clear, enthusiastic consent from the client. You are never expected—or pressured—to say yes.

This is meant to be a safe, respectful experience from start to finish, and your privacy is fully honored every step of the way.

Do you photograph couples of all identities?

Yes. I photograph individuals and couples of all identities, orientations, and relationship structures.

My work is centered on connection, trust, and presence—not labels. If you and your partner are looking for an intimate, respectful experience that honors your dynamic, you’re welcome here.

Where is your studio located, and is it private?

My studio is located in historic Sanford, Florida and is designed to feel quiet, comfortable, and private. Sessions are scheduled so you won’t run into other clients, and everything—from arrival to ordering—is handled with discretion.

This is a space where you can settle in, exhale, and feel fully present without worrying about who might be watching.

How far in advance should I book?

Most clients book their sessions several weeks to a few months in advance, especially if they’re planning around a special occasion, travel, or a specific timeline.

If you’re working with a shorter window, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to let you know what availability looks like and help you plan accordingly.

What types of payment do you accept?

I accept cash, all major credit cards, PayPal Credit, and Afterpay. I also offer in-house payment plans for those who prefer to spread payments out over time.

If you have questions about payment options or want to talk through what might work best for you, I’m always happy to walk you through it—just ask.
