Common Questions


FAQ


  • Where are you located?
  • We are located in Allentown, Pennsylvania in a home based studio.


  • What if I want my photoshoot at a different location?
  • We will go wherever you want us! There is additional cost associated with travel, but that is assessed on a case-by-case basis.


  • Is there anything I need to know coming to a home studio?
  • Yes, the owner has 2 dogs that will not be present at the time of the photoshoot. While there is cleaning and sanitizing completed prior to every photoshoot, it cannot be guaranteed that allergens won't be present.


  • Do you have lingerie or do I have to purchase some myself?
  • Unfortunately we do not have a client closet or boutique at this time. During your consultation and in the time leading up to the photoshoot we will discuss style and vibe. In the Preparation Guide there are references to specific companies recommended.


  • Will my photos be shared online?
  • Not if you don't want me too! Some clients are comfortable with it, and others aren't. It is completely up to you, there is a separate "Model Release" that is required to give me permission to share.


  • Do I get physical prints or anything like that with my photoshoot?
  • No. All packages reflect digital photos only. However, upon delivery of your digital gallery you will have the ability to order physical prints directly from the gallery.


  • Can I bring someone for my photoshoot for support?
  • Unfortunately no. We do not allow guests during photoshoots, but we ensure a comfortable experience. We want the focus to be entirely on you and find guests can be distracting to the process. It is something we are most proud of, check out the testimonials of our past clients to see what they thought. We do offer Boudoir Parties as well for the group experience.


  • What is the mimosa bar and beverages included in my package?
  • It's nice to loosen up before a photoshoot, and during. We offer homemade and seasonal ice cubes to add flare to your mimosa, and the traditional orange juice of course. We also emphasize the importance of hydration and provide bottles of water, and you will be prompted throughout the photoshoot to drink it.



  • What if I don't drink?
  • Let us know ahead of time, there are always non-alcoholic options available.


  • I'm not very confident in my body, maybe I should schedule a few months out?
  • It is completely up to you, we schedule availability on a quarterly basis. HOWEVER, we emphasize the importance of celebrating your body as it is now. Our portfolio depicts women of varying sizes, shapes and skin tones, and our team is well versed in posing and styling people accordingly. No worries babe!


  • What if I don't want hair and makeup services as a part of my package even though it is included, will it be cheaper?
  • We respect everyone's individual comfort level and appreciation for hair and makeup. This is why we offer it built into our packages. We want everyone who does a photoshoot with us to not worry about a single thing day of. Let us pamper you. You do have the option, but we do not change the price of the package.


  • What is the "Speak To Me VIP Group?"
  • This is an exclusive Facebook group created specifically for everyone who has ever done a photoshoot with us. One place for all of our clients to gather and share their experiences. We also share exclusive discounts and ask questions to obtain your feedback for future ideas and projects.


  • What if I need to reschedule?
  • Any scheduled session may be rescheduled in writing seven days before the shoot date. Deposits are non-refundable, except for Part 8 of this agreement. The payment of the session will be held for a rescheduled session (up to 30 days after the original session). Scheduled sessions may only be rescheduled once without the loss of the retainer/session fee.
