What to Expect Before Your Session-
Session Planning Appointment
Now that you have booked & paid your session fee, we will organise your in-person Planning appointment by sending you another calendar to find your ideal day & time. This will give you the opportunity to discuss where your session will take place. It is an important part of the experience as it will help you to get to know me better which, will help you trust me & to feel comfortable in your Photo Session. When you are relaxed & confortable, you will get more beautiful photos. If you haven't joined the Private VIP Facebook Group called For Your Eyes Only, please join, you will love our group, get to know me better, see live posts, be inspired and see video testimonials and have some fun.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR BOUDOIR SESSION
Your CHECKLIST.
Leading up to & the day of your Boudoir Session.
How exciting!
- Please come with a clean face and clean hair. Wash hair the day before please.
- If you decided to colour your hair, do your nails, waxing or have a facial done, it is best to do this 3-5 days prior to your session.
- Come with no bra and loose fitting underwear or no underwear to avoid lines in your skin, no jeans or socks.
- A reminder DO NOT TAN!! Fake tan unless done by a professional can look orange in photos & sometimes you end up with dark patches on elbow, knees, ankles & hands. If this happens an extra editing charge will have to be charged.
- Don’t book any other appointments after your session or plan to be anywhere for up to 5 hours. Organise for someone to pick up the kids.
- Don’t be shy to ask for certain poses or nudes! I am happy to get any shots you want!
- I hope you also plan a night out with your girlfriends or your partner, because once you’ve done your shoot you’re going to look & feel AMAZING! Why not go out and show it all off!
2 weeks is a good time to start preparing, Book your hair in, have your eyebrows done have a facial.
Get a facial, get your eyebrows shaped & tinted, eyelashes curled or have extensions, have your hair coloured & cut, get a MANI-PEDI, exfoliate your body & moisturise daily, wax or start laser on your bits, it's time to spoil yourself & feel amazing. You deserve it & your photos will thank you for the extra attention to detail. ;) T
This is an investment in yourself The Whole Experience starts NOW.
Are you getting Married? Here 's some Bridal Boudoir Inspiration.
During your Boudoir Photo Session
Relax, have fun, and be yourself so your personality will be captured! I will be directing & guiding you all the way, in fact, you will be a pro by the end of the shoot! So you don't have to worry about anything. I will pose your hands, your mouth, your head, your legs, your feet. I will make sure you are posed to enhance your best "You", I will even show you a couple of photos on the back of the camera. You will love yourself sick, I promise!!
I've got you... You don't need to know how to pose or what to do, It is my job to make you feel comfortable. so Trust me & let me guide you to look & feel beautiful.
Each woman you see in my photos, felt nervous, felt unsure & was scared about whether they will feel comfortable getting their kit off in front of a practical stranger. They also wondered if they would like any of their photos! I just want to say that I've got you & to relieve any anxiety about how you are looking, I will show you a photo or two during your shoot from the back of the camera & you will see for yourself what a Queen you are. Right then, right before my eyes, a transformation occurs. I feel that it relaxes you and you become more confident and comfortable with me guiding you so you are able to be yourself and become more sensual and bring out a side that may have been hiding for a while. Something along the lines of Bad ass, Bombshell or Glamour Girl!! Furthermore, when you see your photos on the big screen, you soon realise how frigging gorgeous you are & that shock...horror....you love more photos than you ever dreamed possible.
You WILL NOT look like the women you have seen on my posts...
YOU WILL LOOK LIKE "YOU", ROCKING YOUR BEST SELF & SHOWING OFF THAT Sensual, feminine LADY THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE BUT MAY HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR A HOT MINUTE.
What to Wear
I find I am asked one thing more than anything else, “What should I wear?” I have put together some tips to inspire you when creating your clothing ensemble.
- Go though your closet first, as long you feel sexy in that item bring it, If you want to buy some new pieces, this is the best opportunity to treat yourself. Let your imagination go crazy, do you have a fantasy outfit, let's make that happen!
- Grab a style-savvy and fun-loving friend and hit women’s lingerie boutiques to hunt down an ensemble that not only flatters your figure, but also makes you feel comfortable, unquestionably beautiful and relaxed. There are so many options- bra & panties, combine with garter belt, lace teddy or body suit, babydoll night gown, sexy nightie, lace robe, bondage outfit, sexy nurse or super hero fantasy.
- Pick out lingerie that highlights your every lovely curves, but please remember sometimes an off the shoulder T-shirt, white singlet, his business shirt, soft sweater or over-sized button-down shirt can be even sexier. Let your own personality shine through, bring your reading glasses too, I know they think they are sexy on you.
- Bring items that are meaningful to you or your significant other; a great way to personalise your shoot. Bring lingerie, perfume or jewellery your husband gave you on your first anniversary, for example. His work shirt, a sexy dress up outfit he loves you in, some fluffy cuffs, whips & chains. Bring your favourite novels, gym gear. Anything you want to make this experience your own, it is only limited by your imagination. I am open to anything.
- Bridal Boudoir ladies- Bring any special lingerie, garter, your engagement ring (of course) anything you think is of importance for the special day that will make it customised just for you.

F.A.Q
I’m booked in for my Boudoir Experience, what’s next?
Now that you have selected your session date and paid the deposit on my Booking Portal, you will receive an email to book in your in-person consultation or phone consultation. You will also receive a contract. The contract must be signed. Please note that your booking fee is a non-refundable retainer. You may have completed a questionnaire if not this will be forwarded to you as well.
Will my photos be on the internet?
Not unless you say it’s ok! But if you have agreed to a Boudie Call/Model Call this is part of the agreement and your photos will be used for marketing and advertising purposes, as well as empowering and inspiring other women to do a Boudoir Shoot.. Every client I feature on my Facebook page, website or group has given me written permission to post her images. If you aren’t comfortable with any images being shared, that is completely fine, just let me know! To read over my Privacy policy, scroll down. There is a question on the the Questionnaire that relates to the discretion you require for your photos.
I have cellulite/stretch marks/acne. Can you get rid of that?
In most cases, yes*. Removal of acne, acne scarring, stretch marks, and cellulite is part of the retouching process. What I don’t do is put your face on someone else’s body or ‘take off’ 10kg. If there is something you feel self-conscious about, we can use poses and lighting to emphasise your best features instead. If you’d like a personalised consultation to discuss this, just let me know. We never remove anything permanent like moles, beauty spots or scars unless you request it.
I’m older than (or not as thin as) the girls on your website, can I still book a session?
Of course! I feel bad that people even ask this question! I have shot with many women over 50 and all sizes. Not everyone is comfortable with their photos being on my online portfolio, so I can’t show a lot of examples. What I can promise is, that I will create images to flatter YOU and best show your personality. I believe every woman is beautiful and it’s my job to show you just how gorgeous you are. You will finally see how your loved ones see you and your confidence will sky rocket. You will see that you are special, important and fabulous.
Do I bring my own lingerie, or do you provide the outfits?
You need to bring your own lingerie to the photo shoot. Select outfits that suit your personality and body shape, and complement your skin tone. If you need help with outfit ideas, or you’d like to book a consultation to discuss wardrobe, we can definitely do this. You can get some ideas on Pintrest as well. I have some robes & jackets that will compliment your lingerie. If you don't have anything you think is acceptable for you shoot, this is the perfect time to spoil yourself with some new pieces. If you scroll up I have links to a few lingerie shops, choose one to suit your style, there is something for everyone.
What about hair and makeup, do I do it myself?
Hair and makeup is included in every package, I am your professional Hair and makeup artist. All you need to do is wash your hair the night before and arrive with a clean makeup free face. :-)
Can I bring a friend to my shoot?
Generally, I prefer to work one on one with my clients, simply because sometimes an ‘audience’ can make you feel more self-conscious. If you must bring someone for moral support, I limit it to one person & it would be a friend NOT your partner, they will be in another room or I am happy for them to be there while you have your makeup done but not during the session.
I’m not sure what I want to order yet, can I decide when I see my photos?
Absolutely. After the shoot I welcome you back to the studio to view your images and discuss product options. It is really hard to know what photos you are going to love until you see them, but once you have seen your options, I will help you decide on what is perfect for you and your space. Have in mind somewhere you would love to see your photo everyday as a reminder of how beautiful you are, this may be in your bedroom or even your walk in robe, what a confidence boost you will get as you get dressed. I can design something specifically for your space so please discuss this with me, even take a photo of your wall. :)
I can’t make my shoot date, can I reschedule?
Absolutely. Things come up and sometimes a date no longer works, so we’re happy to make the changes for you. However, if you contact us to reschedule less than 24 Hours before your shoot, you forget about your appointment or you reschedule more than once, your retainer is not transferable. When you sign your contract, we block off those hours to shoot with you, thus turning away people interested in shooting that day.
What is your refund policy?
Due to the custom nature of photography, the session price and any products ordered are non-refundable. You have final say on the retouching and any custom album design and nothing goes to print without your approval.
Where do the shoots take place?
All Boudoir Sessions are by appointment only & some will take place in a home studio & some will take place in a luxury Hotel.
Privacy Policy
We’ve all seen the news stories of teachers, pageant queens, and budding celebrities losing their positions all because a few steamy images of them somehow found their way onto the internet without their permission. I understand that the fear that images might end up in the wrong hands can be enough to keep someone from doing a session that they might otherwise enjoy, so privacy is an extremely important aspect of how I conduct my business. I’ve set up a few safeguards to ensure that your privacy will be protected at all times, and you will have complete control over which images (if any) are released and where they appear. I don't show faces unless release is signed and says I can. First of all, other than e-mail correspondence between you and me, your full name will never be associated with your photos without your consent. All images that you see on this website are used with permission. After your session, we will discuss which images you grant me permission to use, and how and where I will use them. I will never use an image from your session without your consent. You always have the right to keep all images private. I edited all images in private. The images on this site are real clients, not models (unless otherwise stated). I have received consent from each woman to post her images. I do not publish any images without the clients written consent. Some clients are excited to share and show off their beautiful images and others may not be in the position to share due to profession or community commitments. The only time you are required to allow me to use your photos fully is when 1. you have chosen to do so or 2. You have signed up for a Boudie Call, which I do from time to time to try out new looks or sets & I need to be able to advertise these looks to my group or on my website. All Boudie Call participants are aware they need to sign a model release form. No matter what you decide I will fully respect your decision. If you have any questions about my privacy safeguards, don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss your situation!
Thank you again for reaching out, I hope most of your questions have been answered, remember you will be in the studio soon so you can ask me more then. :) or if you need to speak to me about absolutely anything you can call me on 0402484116.
Let's take Beautiful Portraits of you!
Big Hugs, Jodie from Studio Sensuelle xx
