F . A . Q .
Q: WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
Our boudoir sessions are fun, sensual, moody, intimate, and sometimes emotional. They consist of gorgeous editorial images + intimate moments of you in the most authentic way. We aim to capture images that are mostly sensual. Yes, we like to make clients cry ;)
Q: DO I SUPPLY MY OWN OUTFITS & WHAT DO I WEAR?
Please bring your own lingerie/items. The more items for us to go through and pick and choose, the better. However, Birdie has a small collection of pieces that you are welcome to use. YOU MUST BRING A NUDE THONG. This is for the occasion you do use a closet piece. Don’t worry we photoshop it out.
Q: I’M NOT A HUGE LINGERIE GAL. IS THAT OKAY?
Yes! We recommend at least bringing one cute bra and panty set. Remember, everything doesn’t need to be lingerie, so grab your favorite cozy sweater, bodysuit, jersey, his favorite t-shirt.
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN’T MAKE MY SHOOT?
We understand that things come up. However, because this boudoir marathon only happens once a year, I am not able to reschedule your session or offer a refund. However, you may re-book a full boudoir session, and it will be applied to payment for that session.
Q: "I’M NOT PRETTY ENOUGH”, “I NEED TO LOSE A FEW POUNDS”, “I’VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE” ARE YOU SURE I CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
Ladies!! These sessions are all about LOVING yourself. You are ENOUGH, I promise you that. Let us show you how beautiful you are, how gorgeous your body is and how amazing you truly are!! Boudoir does not have a specific size or look, it is for every woman! None of clients have ever been models. I promise.
Q: DO YOU DO RETOUCHING ON CELLULITE, ACNE, ETC?
We believe every woman is beautiful just the way she is. If there is something you are self-conscious about, make sure to include it in your questionnaire, and we will go over it together. We use poses and lighting to emphasize your best features and angles. We will edit out anything that will be gone in one week (i.e. pimples, scratches, bruises,) and lightly touch-up cellulite , stretch marks, etc. We will also retouch any body part that is unflattering due to photographer/posing flaw.
Q: DO MY IMAGES HAVE TO BE SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
Nope! While most of our clients are so proud of their images, and want them shared all over, we do NOT require you to do so. These are your images, and its all about your comfort, and privacy. Your images will be kept completely confidential if you request that. However, you may see an ANONYMOUS photo of yours shared on our social media. No worries! Your face will not be in them and you will not be recognizable!
Q: HOW LONG WILL I BE THERE?
You will be given your session time slot after your contract is signed and deposit is made. You will need to arrive at least an hour BEFORE that time slot in order to have hair and makeup done. If you are running late, that time runs into your shooting time and cannot be pushed into another girl’s time slot.
Q: I HAVE A SPECIAL THEME OR KINK IN MIND. WILL YOU PHOTOGRAPH THAT?
Absolutely! We’re all open-minded here. This is about what makes you feel sexy, no matter what that is. No shame here, girlfriend!
Q: I’M PREGNANT. IS IT WEIRD TO GET A BOUDOIR SESSION?
Hell no! Even more reason to love what season your body is in! It’s more about feeling comfortable and loving yourself than it is about being sexy. No worries, we’ve photographed plenty of pregnant women.
Q: DO I HAVE TO GET NAKED?
No you do not, but I ask that you consider it! We will never push you to take off a layer you do not want to. We will, of course, ask during your session and you’re allowed to say you’re uncomfortable with that. Don’t feel bad! It’s your body, girlfriend! We just want to photograph all your beautiful curves! Want in on a little secret? Most nudity in our sessions is implied and covered up. Very rarely is someone entirely naked.
Q: I CAN’T POSE. DO YOU HELP WITH THAT?
Of course! We will pose you from the tips of your toes to the way your hair lays. I will do all the hard work for you! You do not have to worry about a thing! But don’t be surprised when you wake up the next morning feeling like you ran a marathon.
Q: CAN I BRING A FRIEND? OR MOM, GRANDMA, AND SISTER?
Yes you can bring one friend to tag along! We want you to feel safe and have a good time. Please don’t bring your mom though lol.

This email was written the following day - before Amanda had seen her beautiful images ;)
I just wanted to take a minute and thank you guys for Saturday. I never ever in a million years knew how badly I needed this. I have never felt comfortable in my own skin and self love and confidence has always been a struggle of mine. And when I say never I mean NEVER in my entire life. Even with losing weight recently i still didn't have the confidence I should have as a woman, until Saturday that is lol.
I was so scared walking in there, I was so nervous Jen was talking me through some deep breaths before we walked in! But instantly i felt comfortable. Something about the vibe you guys give off made me feel like I've known you girls for years. Alyssa seeing you walk around there with all the confidence in the world and then getting your pictures done, the confidence was legit wearing off on me. Alyssa I all ready knew how amazing you were from my amazing breastfeeding pictures! You guys are the DREAM TEAM!!! And I'm so lucky that I was able to be in your guys presence for such an amazing experience!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking a woman who was so incredibly self conscious and turning me into a woman with more confidence then I could have ever imagined. It's so much more then the pictures and wanting to do this for my husband (even though keeping this a secret from his has been so hard because I know he is going to be so happy) it was the experience. An experience that felt like a dream, like there was no way that really happened. An experience that will forever stick out in my mind as helping me grow as a woman and a person.
You ladies are absolutely amazing and your passion really shines when your behind the camera! I can't tell you how many times I have felt rushed by a photographer and I could just tell that they were doing it for the money. That their heart wasn't really in it. But with you ladies it was the total opposite. Your passion and love really shined through. And I could tell how much both of you really love doing this! Keep doing what you ladies do
Always,
Amanda
This is why we do what we do.
W H O A R E Y O U R P H O T O G R A P H E R S ?
Hi, I’m Alyssa.
I like many of you have been through some serious shit the past few years but you know it has matured me and made me stronger. I am passionate about my profession but at the same time let’s have a good time! I am down to earth and all about being your hype lady and taking bad ass photos of you! Can’t wait to see you in the studio.
