Questions asked. Frequently.
What is boudoir?
Boudoir photography is an intimate portrait experience designed to empower confidence and boldness. The level of sensuality for each boudoir photography session will vary per person, and we will guide you through poses that bring out your personality and sexiness. Some shoots will be more conservative. Others will feature a stronger artistic side that could include implied nudity and/or creative nude poses.
A boudoir session with Bourbon and Pearls Boudoir aims to capture the goddess of your soul while respecting your comfort level.
Is a boudoir shoot for me?
Pssshhh.. Boudoir is for anyone and everyone! Honestly, though, boudoir is intended to celebrate the spirit of you, the goddess inside you. Of course, it is for you!
How do I prepare for a boudoir shoot?
Prior to your shoot, be sure to have a well-rested night. We discourage drinking the night before, as it may cause puffiness the day of the shoot. We want to capture images in your best state.
Be properly showered and groomed, making sure to shave all the right spots (at your discretion). Think about the look you want in your shoot. Do you prefer a dramatic look or a more natural look? We don’t supply hair and makeup, at this time, but research some looks and work on those prior to the day of the shoot, so that you can create the perfect style for your shoot.
What should I bring?
If you have a fun piece of lingerie that you like, bring that. Bring any corsets, garter belts, bra and panty (cheeky, thong) sets, thigh-high panty hose or socks. Bring clothes that reflect your cute personality. Perhaps one of your significant other’s shirts… those always make for romantic images. Sports jerseys can also work. Everyday clothing items can turn unexpectedly sexy with the right pose and expression…and we’ll help you with that!
How many outfits should I bring?
Typically, we work through 5 outfits in a session.
Is hair and makeup available?
Yes! We offer complimentary hair styling and makeup application for each session.
How long will the photoshoot last?
Shoots will generally last three hours, however, we want to cater to your needs and provide you with the best photos, so some sessions will last a little over the three hours, and some may be a little less. Above all, we will be sensitive to your needs.
What if I don’t know how to pose?
That’s what we are here for! We have extensive experience and knowledge on poses and lighting to highlight your sexiness. We’ll lead you through poses that make you look your best while matching your comfort level. In short… Don’t worry about a thing. We will be here to guide you through.
How confidential is the shoot?
What shoot? 😉
Do you edit the photos?
We will edit all of the photos you receive.
What if I have body issues?
We understand…because we are like you…and we’ll work with you to draw attention to your most flattering features while minimizing the ones you are less enthusiastic about.
May I bring a friend?
Of course! We understand that Boudoir can be an intimidating experience and we want you completely comfortable. We are, however, limiting friends to only one per session due to Covid restrictions.
Where are you located?
We are in Greentown, IN, just 10 minutes east of Kokomo. We’ll send our home studio address to clients when they book with us.
