Expectations
What to Expect
Boudoir isn’t just about beautiful photos — it’s about honoring where you are, right now.
At Staind Purple Boudoir, your comfort, privacy, and confidence come first. Here’s how the experience unfolds:
Step 1: Let’s Chat
It all starts with a quick consultation call. We’ll talk through what you're hoping to get out of the session, your vision, your concerns, and any ideas you have. This is also your time to ask anything — no question is too small.
Step 2: Session Prep
Once booked, you'll receive a prep guide that walks you through what to wear, how to prepare, and how to feel your best. I’ll also help you choose a shoot location that matches your style — typically a local Airbnb that feels warm, private, and luxurious.
Makeup and light hairstyling are included in your session, done by a professional artist I trust.
Step 3: Your Shoot
Expect a two-hour, fully customized shoot with guidance every step of the way. My job is to make sure you feel at ease — never rushed, never judged, always celebrated.
You’ll be coached gently through poses that feel natural and flattering. You don’t need to know how to pose — that’s what I’m here for.
Step 4: The Same Day Reveal
Right after your session, I’ll spend about an hour doing light, soft edits on your best images. While I work, you’ll step out for a coffee break or lunch nearby.
When you return, we’ll sit down for your personal image reveal — a private viewing of the highlights from your shoot. This is often the most powerful part of the entire experience. Seeing yourself through this lens, raw and radiant, changes something.
During this reveal, you’ll select your favorite images and choose your desired package. Only the images you select will receive final, professional retouching.
Within about a week, your fully edited images will be delivered in a private, password-protected online gallery. If you’ve selected an album, we’ll place the order and I’ll notify you as soon as it’s ready.
