You are beautiful, worthy and confident
Boudoir photography is not about photo editing to make you to look like a model or someone you are not. It is up to you how much or how little skin you show and we want the shoots to show your personality. We want you to feel comfortable and have fun on your shoot. Read through some of the more common questions then contact us for more information.
Where will the photographs be taken?
Mostly the session takes place in our studio located in the A.M. Booth Lumberyard complex of downtown Huntsville. Special requests may be made for a different location, but are subject to photographer approval.
How many poses are included in a standard session?
You have three clothing changes for this hour long photo shoot. If you would like to do some nude, that will count as one outfit. You can bring more than three ensembles if you would like help in deciding what to wear once you see the backdrops.
What will this cost?
Our sessions range in price dependent upon the requests of the client. Please contact me for pricing.
Do you ever do group sessions?
Yes. We call it the ‘Sexy Lady Picture Party’ and it makes a very memorable girl’s night out or bachelorette bash. Gather up to 7 of your closest girlfriends for a Private “girl’s night out” party. Enjoy wine, hors d’oeuvres and great girl time, all while defining your sexy. All ladies take turns stepping into a private room for their own individual photo session.
$85 per sexy lady (3-6 ladies), which includes sitting fee, two clothing changes, free online proofing.
How do I get my pictures?
Pictures are normally available for pick-up 7 days after ordering. Pictures are posted on a password restricted website for 48 hours.
What can I do to help the photo session go smoothly?
Relax and be confident. There is nothing more important than exhibiting the courage of a cougar during the shoot. We will pose you in the best way possible to accentuate the positives and hide the not-so positives. Some poses may be uncomfortable and you may wonder – what the heck is the photographer doing to me? – but, please, trust us. Our goal is to make you look stunning, and nothing less. Many clients tell us that stretching before-hand can also help loosen you up, particularly since you will be engaged in a variety of poses.
Should I do any homework beforehand?
Yes. Take a look at magazines, films or pictures that you like to find your personal style and vision. Bring them to the shoot if you like. Or, you may email pictures to us before you arrive to show us what inspires you. Remember, these pictures are all about you and any direction you give us helps create your perfect shoot.
Will my pictures remain private?
On occasion we ask a client for permission to use their photograph for promotional purposes i.e. Website or Facebook, however, you will clearly be notified of this intent and be asked for consent. If consent is not given, your photos will not be posted anywhere online.
Who selects the final images?
After the images have been taken they are placed in a password protected online gallery where you select the final images.
Are guests allowed during the session?
Yes, with limitations. Please, no children. We do offer group sessions. Call for more information.
Is there anything else I need to know
Please remember to be on time and not early, unless cleared with the photographer. We often book shoots back-to-back. Also, remember, only minor touch-ups should be done once you arrive to make the most out the hour of studio time.

Boudoir is fun
Relaxing before your shoot is so important. Practice in the mirror before the shoot and try out a variety of faces to get pumped and prepped. We recommend you try the following faces of you:
Try a serious face
This is not a mad face this is just a very still poised look. Tilt your head around during all of these to see what your best side is.
Try a seductive face
Breathe through your mouth and stay relaxed. Play with your eyes. For instance, mimic a squint or a curl of the corners of your mouth right before it breaks into a smile.
Try a fun sexy smile
Try a girlish giggly smile
Try a sweet innocent smile.
And finally …
Try a wide eyed ‘Oohlalaa” pin up style expression. This is a happy excited sexy smile. Throw your hands up in the air! Let it out!
From our clients …
I have to say, I was amazed at how comfortable I felt during the shoot. The photos are wonderful, and the sheer confidence I get every time I look at them is a great bonus. Thanks so much!
I loved the photo session! It was relaxed and fun, and Allison made me feel comfortable right away. Allison captured my best features and minimized the “not so good” features, and we were able to get some classy shots that I can be proud of for years to come! Thank you Allison!
I wanted to do something special for my husband for our anniversary. I thought doing the boudoir photos would be perfect. I have to admit I was a little nervous at first, but Allison made me feel totally relaxed and beautiful. It was nice to step out of the “mommy” role for a moment and feel glamorous! The pictures turned out amazing, and my husband absolutely loved them!
