the experience
YOU’RE ALREADY BEAUTIFUL,
i just help you see that.
you’re probably really curious what this whole ‘boudoir’ thing is about. or maybe you’re totally a fan and know #allthethings…
Regardless of where you fall, you’ve undoubtably got questions on what to expect. Or maybe you have no clue what to epect and are ready for some epic surprises (my clients love those!).
Rest assured…this process itself is just as empowering as the photos you’ll end up with.
Choosing to up your ‘under thing game’, selecting locations, props, poses and ideas on just the right thing that’ll make your significant other…or better yet…YOU be so excited they’ll scream… it’s all. part. of. the process.
It’s time to re-connect. With you. All of you.
It’s time to illuminate your soul.
PROCESS

Girl, I know that this may be one of the most vulnerable things you’ve ever done… or even if it’s old hat, I’ve got you every step of the way. Activating full sister mode here… by the time you leave my studio, you’ll feel like we’re old friends… click below for more deets…

JESS
Prior to doing this boudoir session, I was feeling extremely insecure with my appearance, and that’s affected how I’ve felt about myself overall….I’m in love with the photos, and it’s helped a lot with my confidence. …I feel so empowered, and it’s helped me feel good about myself inside too. I highly recommend EVERY woman do a boudoir shoot with Sarah, do it for you, I promise you’ll feel like a badass after.

SYDNI
“Sarah is amazing and I can not say enough good things about my experience with her. First off, my photos turned out phenomenal! This was my first ever photo shoot and also my first boudoir shoot and it definitely won’t be my last. I just recently had a baby and am getting used to my new body and she made me feel so sexy and confident, and that is something I didn’t know would happen.”

“Art is all in the details.” -Christian Marclay
You’re probably wondering…
You’ve got questions, I’ve got answers! See something you’re still curious about that I didn’t answer? Girl… we should chat, sounds like you’ve got some fun ideas, read on or schedule a chat with me here!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
A $495 session fee is required to reserve your session date and time, this includes a 15-minute planning session, your client portal with guides & resources, professional hair and makeup with lashes, aprox. 2-hour photo session and a reveal session.
An additional collection fee is required, I cover all these details in our initial consultation.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Absolutely! I highly reccomend selecting your album collection in advance and making payments. It makes it so much easier come shoot day. You can always upgrade if you choose!
Depending on how far out you book, we can split payments in up to 3 equal payments.
I accept: Venmo or Zelle (preferred), Cash, or I can accept Credit Cards with a 3% processing fee.
DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?
YES! I photograph out of my studio in Lakewood, Colorado! This is also where you will get your makeup done as wel as your reveal session!
Want something different? No problem!
I love going to other locations! Ask me about hotel locations or shooting somewhere special you had in mind.
*Other locations are subject to lighting and space options! I will let you know if a space isn’t going to work as it’s my job to ensure your photos are amazing* Additional travel and rental fees may apply*
DO I HAVE TO BE NAKED?
Oh sis.
Not at all. Your shoot is your shoot. While I may encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, I’ll never ask you to do something you’re not comfortable with. We will go over all of this in our planning session, and if you change your mind day-of, that’s cool too!
DO YOU SHARE ALL YOUR CLIENTS PHOTOS?
Nope! That’s why you only see a few shoots here on my site. I have some very exclusive clients who choose to keep their identities and photos private.
All of my clients receive model releases and I only share the ones that give me permission.
Change your mind later? Cool! I’d love to share your pics! Only wants some of your photos shared? I have a process for that too.
Boudoir is very private and intimate and I ensure my clients know that their privacy is my number one priority.
WILL YOU SHOW ME HOW TO POSE?
1000% YES. That’s my job babe!
Posing is such an important part of Boudoir, it’s amazing how the slightest change in your body position can make or break a photo. I will give you posing tips prior to our shoot (in case you want to do some early homework!) and we will review it right before we start shooting–and all the way throughout the shoot, I’ll be guiding you!
TIP: schedule a massage the day after your shoot–believe it or not, you’ll be tired and likely sore after all that strectching and holding! It’s tough work to be the beautiful Goddess that you are!
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO WEAR, CAN YOU HELP?
Ohhhh yes I can!
Check out this article in my resources section for some of my top fave stores and my Amazon Top 10 Finds list!
Plus we will cover this in both our initial consultation, and planning session. But also… don’t overthink this! Often a plain white tee, lace panties and just your bare skin are the perfect receipe for an epic shoot!
WHAT IS A BOUDOIR VIDEO?
It’s gettin’ hot in here…
Listen up Babe… photos are fun. But when those photos are videos…HAWT DAYMN! Things heat up!
Boudoir Video is a really fun and unique way to remember your session…and to add some heat to your gift…whether it’s for you or someone else.
They’re SUPER easy to add on to your session, I just capture a few short video clips while we are shooting and then put it all together for you in a 60-90 second video for your and whomever you choose to share it with to enjoy.
Ask me about adding one one in our consultation!
Check out one here:
CAN I BRING A FRIEND TO MY SHOOT?
I am totally good with your bestie coming along to your shoot! Especially if she brings out a fun flirty side of you!
However, I do not allow significant others to attend shoots for many reasons. Thank you for understanding this very strict policy.
CAN MULTIPLE PEOPLE SPLIT A SHOOT?
Group shoots can be SO MUCH FUN! Bachelorette parties, bridal showers, girls trips, and womens retreats are totally my jam!
I do allow group shoots, however let’s chat about this on our call. I do charge an additional fee per person to cover the makeup application, each person purchases their own collection, and session time is split between group members.
Let’s chat, I can create a custom package for you to accomodate your needs!
DO YOU GIVE DIGITAL FILES?
Absolutely!
Many of my collections include digital files in a private gallery and a custom mobile app. You may add on additional digital files to any package.
WHAT TYPES OF PRODUCTS DO YOU OFFER?
My most popular product is a luxurious hand-made leather or linen album. These are beautiful, timeless and an incredible way to preserve the memory of your boudoir session. We custom design your album together at your reveal session (tyicaplly the same day as your shoot) and it ships within a week. Choose from a variety of cover options, engraving, foil stamping or debossing, plus so much more. They make amazing gifts!
I also have other beautiful products like a gorgeous custom engraved glass box with card prints, tuck & tease cards, peep show viewers for a little sexy fun, and more!
DO YOU ONLY PHOTOGRAPH BOUDOIR?
Such a great question that I get asked all the time.
The answer is yes…and no.
I started my career photographing families and seniors, and added in weddings and eventually transitioned to branding photography.
While I LOVE all of those things, I’ve found that exclusively focusing on Boudoir is what really brings me joy and alows me to be in my “zone of genius.”
With that said, if you’d like to add on an engagement shoot, family photos and/or branding photos following your boudoir session–I’m in! OR if you have an extra special project you think I’d be interested in, let’s chat!
