FAQ'S
Do you have questions about the experience? You're likely to not be the only one which is why we are answering our most sought out questions that we get asked regularly. These answers will give you an inside look at what you can expect on your special day with us, and will likely relieve you of any pre or post booking anxiety.
Don't worry, we've got you covered!
WHAT IS THE COST?
The complete 4-6 hour boudoir experience starts at $500 which includes hair and makeup, access to our client wardrobe, photoshoot with full posing assistance, retouching, private viewing and ordering session where you get to view all of your images.
Digital Files are purchased separately and are not included in the $500 Session Fee.
We offer Collections, and A La Carte sessions in order to customize your day leaving you with the best quality products!
Our A La Carte pricing begins at $1800. We offer each one of our clients interest free payment plans to make any experience "budget friendly."
WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP MY PHOTOS?
YES! Editing and Photoshop is included and you will love the results! Our editing process is our best friend when it comes to enhancing your images. Both lighting and posing plays a major role in how we go about retouching your images. We apply skin smoothing, and reduce under eye, acne, texture and redness, bruises and scratches, etc.
We do offer additional retouching services at no cost on cellulite, stretch marks, and scars, but we prefer leaving those decisions up to you. You are beautiful as you are, regardless of your age or size, and we want to emphasize your natural beauty. Each one of us has our own self perceived flaws. So let's guide you into feeling your best!
If you have any specific questions regarding photoshop or what we can do,
please do not hesitate to ask!
IS HAIR AND MAKEUP PROVIDED?
Professional Hair and Makeup is always included in our Session Fee! We ask that you arrive with a clean, moisturized face and clean, dry hair so that we can get straight to work!
IF I DON'T WANT HAIR AND MAKEUP
CAN I GET A DISCOUNT?
This is such an essential step to the experience that you DO NOT want to skip! Amazing hair and makeup goes such a long way for your transformation and it will make you FEEL like a Queen! As well as that, it's fun being pampered before your session. It gives you time to unwind, settle your nerves, and become familiar and comfortable with our ladies. Correct makeup application and hair styling saves us TONS of time during retouching because you will look FLAWLESS.
SHOULD I GO TANNING?
No spray tans 4-6 weeks prior to your session!! It stains our bedding and rugs, and it is not flattering to photograph at all. We discourage the use of tanning beds 2-3 weeks prior to your session as well.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND OR MY SPOUSE?
Hypothetically this may seem like a great idea, but we find when there is an audience, our clients hold back. Our goal is to have you let loose, have fun and enjoy the experience fully! We don't want you worrying about entertaining your guest. I promise that you will feel comfortable in our space!
DO I NEED TO BRING MY OWN OUTFITS?
You are more than welcome to bring your own outfits and props to your session! You will just need to inform me beforehand.
Clients have access to our enormous client wardrobe which is fully stocked with sizes ranging from XS to 6X! We understand that lingerie shopping can be overwhelming, which is why we have multiple options in the studio for EVERY BODY TYPE!
We highly recommend having 3-4 outfits to wear.
You will be asked to bring with you the following to wear under garments:
1 Nude Thong
1 Black Thong
1 Matching Bra & Panty Set
Additional: thigh highs, heels, fishnet stockings, sweaters, t-shirts, sports jersey, leather jacket, etc. Shoes and jewelry are a FANTASTIC way to add personality to your session and we love when clients bring them!
WARDROBE RECOMMENDATIONS?
Simplicity is KEY! Too much pattern or weird colors take away from your beauty. Do not be afraid to mix it up! bras/panties set, camisole, men's tee, and corsets are some of the most popular attire that our clients wear! We are always up for something new to experiment with! We will never push you beyond your comfort zone or boundaries. Many clients like to end the session with an implied nude sheet set!
HOW DO I PREPARE?
Once we have received your $500 Session Fee, we will email you a detailed prep guide a couple weeks prior to your session, that will explain the details thoroughly. Come with a clean face and hair. Take care of your skin a few weeks out to prevent any breakouts, get lots of sleep and DRINK WATER! By doing so, it will reduce dark circles/puffy eyes and also reduce bloating. Make sure you eat so that you have energy to pose with us!
DO NOT STRESS, THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!
We have a wonderful team that will not only just take care of you, but we will guide you as well!
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK A SESSION?
We usually book at least 6-12 months in advance, if not more. When selecting a date to book, I always recommend booking 12 weeks in advance of the date you need your images by. (Holiday, Birthday, Wedding Gift, etc). Our calendar fills up fast so I always tell people to grab a date to prevent missing deadlines.
We can rush orders for clients who find that they are in a bind, but we would much rather plan in advance to help make your experience stress free!
I AM NOT A MODEL, WILL I LOOK GOOD?
I promise you will be after this! Not a single person in any of our photos is a paid model, they are all normal and average women like you.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
We are located in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada.
We are 1 hour and 20 minutes from Saskatoon
4 hours from Regina
