I’m sure you have questions…. Maybe I can anticipate them.

What’s the difference between Glamour and Boudoir?
Glamour:
My Glamour portraits are very sensual;
Poses are designed to show you from the waist up;
Clothing can include formal wear and lingerie;
My Glamour sessions also include sensual facial portraits.

Boudoir:
My Boudoir portraits include full, half and partial body poses;
Sexuality and sensuality are equally emphasized;
Lingerie and/or artfully draped fabrics are the norm.

Can you do retouching?
Absolutely! It’s you, only better. Each portrait is fully edited and enhanced to take away spider veins, cellulite, blemishes, uneven tanlines... anything you consider undesirable.

What about poses? I don’t know what to do.
Don’t worry; I’ll help you. I’ll design poses that flatter your figure and I’ll show you sample poses as we go along, so you can be involved in the process. You’ll have fun doing this, and you DON’T have to be a professional model.

What about hair and make-up styling?
I work with a talented hair & makeup artist. If you’d like to use her, come with clean, lightly moisturized face - Maria has everything you can imagine. (If you have skin or hair sensitivities, bring your own cosmetics and styling products and Maria will work with those.)

If your hair is very fine, don’t wash it the day of the session. Fine hair styles better the day after shampooing. If your hair is heavier, it’s all right to wash it that morning.

If you are doing your own hair and make-up, here are three suggestions:
- use a little more mascara than you generally do;
- wear matte lipstick in a slightly darker color than normal;
- bring powder to touch up shine.

Can I Bring A Friend?
By all means, bring your best friend, your maid of honor, your sister… I once had a client bring her mom! Having another woman with you enhances the QGT. (Quality Girl Time) But choose wisely. Bring someone who will flat out tell you if your outfit isn’t working.

What about jewelry?
If you have a signature piece, bring it. As a rule, however, subtle jewelry works best.

How many photos can I choose from?
You’ll have 30-50 photos from which to choose. If you arrive on time, feel energetic from modeling, and transition smoothly from one outfit to another, we’ll be able to take the maximum amount of photos.

Do you require a deposit?
A deposit of $150 is required as payment towards your session.

Cancellation Policy?
Please let me know as soon as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel your session. If you cancel within 48 hours, your deposit is forfeit; however, if you rebook, I can apply it one time toward another appointment.

Payment?
Balance of payment is due the day of the session. I accept check, cash, travelers’ checks or money orders.

Can I preview my photos on the Internet?
A couple of weeks after your session, I’ll give you a link and a password that will let you preview your portraits on line and place your order. (By the way, only people who receive your password from you will be able to see your photos. The site is confidential and secure.) If you have a deadline, let me know when you book your appointment. I’ll do everything possible to accommodate your schedule.
