These are just some of the general questions that come up when discussing a boudoir/glamour shoot. If you have a question that is not answered here, feel free to call or email me!
But you are a guy!
Why yea, I am! I am a happily married guy with a daughter, son, and grandchildren. I am doing this because I have a love for creating beautiful, eye catching imagery that you will love for a lifetime. I am not doing this to meet women. :)
Where is your studio located?
I normally shoot out of my private home studio located in Centennial Hills, but also utilize several larger rental studios in the valley. Due to the nature of my work, I only give out my address customers that have made their pre-shoot deposit.
Will you do a photo session in a hotel room?
Absolutely! I can bring my studio to you! I prefer to shoot in the higher end suites such as at the MGM or Bellagio, but will come to the location of your choosing for no extra cost. (if shooting in the LV valley) I also do shoots in places such as The Valley Of Fire, Red Rock, and the various ghost towns and dry lake beds in our area. I just got some wonderful deals on suites at Golden Nugget and the Plaza!
So what's this "TFP" stuff I hear about? (In other words, I hear you might shoot for free)
I do, on occasion, shoot models on a "TFP" basis. This means that I will trade my valuable time to shoot with you for free in exchange for a DVD of edited photos and/or prints. Simply put, no cash changes hands. You get beautifully crafted photos and I get to use them in my portfolio. Normally this is a winning situation for both model and photographer. Feel free to ask, and view my TFP terms here.
What about my hair and makeup?
I can provide a makeup artist for a fee. They normally run about $50 to $100. One of the least expensive makeup options I have found for my clients has been to simply stop by the MAC booth at the mall and let them apply your makeup for you. We prefer our clients use MAC products before a shoot. We can discuss your hair and makeup options during our pre-shoot consultation.
Will you retouch my photos?
Yes, I do professional retouching and glamourization of the photos you choose. This is not meant to erase who you are, but to enhance the beauty of the overall photo.
I am not a 20 year old, size 3 model. Will you still work with me?
Of course I will! It doesn't matter your size or age, I will gladly work with you and provide images that you will be very happy with! The majority of my clientelle is over 30! I treat every shoot differently. I retouch with the individual in mind and apply proven "glamourization" techniqes to every shot. I believe in each session being a method of "photographic therapy", building your self esteem and self confidence.
Do I have to get naked? Will you get naked?
Although we do some very sexy shoots, nudity is not required! I don't know why photographers get asked about getting naked, but umm NO! I won't be getting naked for your shoot!
Will you sell my photos to pervs on the internet?
No way! I take your privacy and trust very seriously! We will sign a release tailored to each shoot detailing the privelages and permissions given for the photo session. I may ask to add one photo to my online portfolio but you are in no way obligated to say yes to that! I use a discreet fulfillment company to provide your prints as well.
Will you provide my outfits for the shoot?
I keep a supply of outfits, pinup dresses, and fetish wear on hand as well as shoes, boots and various props, but I encourage you to do some shopping on your own as well! (especially for lingerie items) I can help you with that during our pre-shoot consultation. In some cases we may even buy items for you to wear if we do not have them on hand!
Am I allowed to bring a friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, pet, or escort?
Really, I don't care if you bring your family to a shoot! My main concern is that you feel safe and comfy during a photo session.
Will I be alone with you during my shoot?
No! I always have a female assistant on hand to help with equipment, styling, outfit changes, model coaching, etc.
How long will it take to get my photos?
Normally I can edit the photos and have them ready for print within one week. At that time I will set up a private gallery for you to view and make your print purchases from.
I am pregnant, can we still schedule a session?
Yes we can! Maternity shoots can be as sensual as any other!
Do you do shoots other than high end glamour and boudoir?
Although I prefer to shoot beauty, boudoir and glamour, I also shoot events and childrens and family portraiture.
