FAQ
How much does it cost & what is included?
Your session fee covers the entire experience from the pre-planning, day of hair & makeup & the photo shoot itself as well as styling advice & everything in between! Images & products are purchased separately in 10 different collections. Collection investments begin at 3,000 and customizable interest free in house pre-payment plan are available!
How many photos are included & can I purchase more than what’s included?
During your reveal & ordering session, we will view anywhere between 50-70 images! Depending on the collection you choose, you will select your favorite images to purchase. Upgrading your collection or purchasing additional digital images is always an available option! Most clients have a hard time choosing & end up upgrading their collection or purchase additional digital images!
Do you offer payment plans for session fees & products?
Yes! When you are ready to book, your session fee can be split up into 2 payments of $300. Your initial payment acts as a non-refundable retainer to secure your date at Ivy Noir as well as our hair & makeup stylist(s). Pre-session & Post-session payment options are also available for your collection investment. For more information on different payment plan options, please click here to read more!
I have never done a shoot like this & don’t know how to pose; Will you direct me?
ABSOLUTELY! That is what I am here for. I will direct you to pose in positions you are MOST COMFORTABLE posing in. I also recommend my clients to check out Pinterest for some posing inspiration prior to their sessions & have even created a board myself specifically for you to visit to get that inspiration flowing! If you come across a ‘WOW’ pose that you absolutely MUST HAVE, send it my way so that I can make sure that that pose is included during your shoot! You can even get in front of a mirror & practice those poses beforehand to find those 'HOLY SHIT' angles! Check out my Boudoir Posing inspiration board by clicking HERE!
I have no idea what to wear! HELP!?
I GOT YOU!! I have a client closet that includes different styles, in varying sizes, of lingerie & accessories that you can choose from! In addition to the boudoir posing Pinterest board, I have also created one to help get some inspiration outfits, hair, makeup, jewelry, THE WORKS! I also have a preferred list of lingerie designers with varying price ranges that will fit your budget no matter what it is & will send that via email upon request!

I have ‘problem’ areas that I am self-conscious about; How much editing & Photoshop do you do?
My goal is NOT to change how you look but to enhance the natural beauty that is your own! As you will see in my portfolio, skin is not completely smoothed out to where it looks ‘doll like’ or ‘unrealistic’. We all have pores, scars, birthmarks & beauty marks; those are things that make us individually & beautifully UNIQUE & I never want to take away from YOUR UNIQUENESS! When it comes to body reshaping, that is an absolute NO, however, lingerie tends to create indentations in the skin, so those little areas will be taken care of!
Will you be posting my photos on social media or your website?
Only if YOU give me written consent, will I post any of your photos online! Your privacy is my #1 PRIORITY!! Once you are ready to book, I will include a model release form with your contract for you to review & sign. The model release gives me permission to use the images & behind the scenes footage from your shoot for marketing purposes on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, my website, & printing for my physical portfolio or sample products such as albums and wall art that are shown to new clients. Even if you choose to sign the model release, I will always contact you directly with the images I intend on sharing just to make sure you are comfortable with me sharing that specific image(s). Plus, I have some pretty kick-ass incentives if you do decide to sign a model release! Make sure to ask about those incentives during your pre-planning consult!
How long does it take after the photo shoot to receive my images/products & how will I receive them?
Your soft proofed gallery will be revealed to you, in person, the same day as your photo shoot! This is where we will go over everything together & you will choose the images that are included with the collection you purchase! Due to the custom nature of each order, products such as albums, wall art & print boxes, we need to allow up to 21 business days for production & an additional 5 business days for shipping!
Do you offer boudoir photo shoots with couples?
Yes, I do offer couples boudoir sessions for returning clients only.
Do you travel?
All Boudoir Experiences take place at Ivy Noir Studios, my personal studio, just north of Dallas. I do not currently offer traveling rates.
