All About Boudoir
But really, what actually is boudoir?
Sure, there is an actual definition - a woman’s private sitting room - but boudoir goes beyond that.
Your first thoughts also might be just sexy pictures. I’ll say it again - it’s SO MUCH MORE.
Boudoir is yes, intimate, but it’s also about celebrating who you are, as you are - with curves, with wrinkles, with laugh lines that you curse at daily, but in reality, are telling the story of your life.
I am an avid cheerleader (yes, a real one) who loves showing off and capturing curves in my camera frame. I say, the more curves the better, and it’s true! I love seeing every lump, bump, handle, wrinkle, and vein that you might think is the worst part about you, and showing you them in a sensual and timeless way that will make you change your mind and you can see how beautiful those things actually are.
Boudoir is also an opportunity to celebrate all of the things that make you YOU. It's a way of owning the confidence inside you and showing you just how amazing you truly are. Boudoir gives you that chance to put a spotlight on you, and sparkle and shine like a leading lady on the big screen.
Having a boudoirs session is also a visual reminder that you are a glorious woman, inside and out, and reminds us that we deserve nothing less than love, sensuality, joy and feeling radiant.
Scroll down to see just a few of the amazing women that I’ve been lucky enough to photograph:
So, do you like what you see so far? Yay!
You’re still nervous? Yea, I get that.
However, I make it my life’s mission to give you a one-on-one, you're the only person in the world, experience when you book a session with Jill-Renay.
And even though I’ve said that, you still have bats in your stomach, right? Flapping their wings so hard that you’re nauseous? Been there. I get that you're not a model and this is not something you've ever done before. I know it’s not as simple as me telling you to let it all go, but let’s try to.
I’m here to guide you not just through the actual photo session (which will have you feeling no guilt, no shame, and when it’s finished, having you wanting to do it again and again), but also provide open communication with your investment, your worries, the images you want to get, the feeling you want to have.
Think you’re ready? Let’s do it!
Here’s what happens next…
First, Let’s Connect
Butterflies have nothing on those BATS in your stomach right now. I get it. I always have them too.
I want to reassure you that I will be with you from beginning - starting with a pre-consultation phone call - to the end - when you receive your luxury products that you picked out.
Your trust and comfort is key throughout your experience and I will answer any and all questions you have. We’ll discuss session details, pricing and outfit choices during your private one on one consultation.
Book Your Date
You’ve taken that first step and connected with me - YAY! Now, you’re ready to secure that date on the calendar and move forward with your session.
Even more YAY! (Brb, gotta go get my pompoms)
You can book your date a few different ways: on the phone in your consult call, by sending me an email or you can even scroll down to the bottom of this page and go through an automatic booking process.
(It’s easy, I promise!)
Planning Your Session
After booking your date, a ton of emails will be flooding your inbox. Well, not really a ton, and it’s not actually a flood. However, there will be a lot of communication between us because I want your boudoir session to be perfect.
Here’s what you’ll receive:
- The Client Closet Guide
- A ‘Get Prepped!’ Guide
- A full questionnaire where you detail exactly what you want your session to look and feel like
- And more!
Your Session Day
There’s so much pre-planning that goes into your session day that by the time it comes, it will be all easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
You’ll know exactly where to go, where to park, what time to arrive, and what to bring.
As a traveling boudoir photographer, the place your session takes place at is totally unique to you, and will happen on mornings and afternoons from Tuesday to Saturday.
When you arrive, you’ll head straight to your hair and makeup artist, who is not only amazing in every way, shape and form, but will absolutely take you from a bed head to shampoo commercial gorgeous; and also from ‘damn she’s pretty’ to ‘holy crap! They need their name up in lights!’
You’ll also have a chance to check out your pre-selected and hand pulled outfits, and I’ll also have additional pieces for you to choose from too. Then, we’ll go straight into your session. Don’t worry - it’s fun!
I’ll show you everything - from how to pose your hands, face, and feet, and even how to expertly fall off a bed (you’ll laugh at me and that’s okay! I do this each session!)
We’ll have time for about 3-4 outfits for your session, and after your shoot, you can head off to lunch, or even head home for a bit. Later that afternoon, I’ll connect with you about your same day reveal.
Your Image Reveal
A same day image reveal is available in most situations. Following your session, I get to debut this amazing collection of photographs that capture all of your spark, beauty and confidence, and you finally get to see yourself the way others see you!
We will sit down together and go through your images so you can pick your favorites and plan your album. Products and images are ordered during this time together.
Sharing Your Images
I promise NOT to share your images, unless you WANT me to! Your comfort, trust and privacy is the most important thing for your boudoir session.
Some of my limited session offers DO require a signed model release, but that’s on specific offers which you would be notified of ahead of booking. Read more about the releases I do offer here.
If you want to keep your images private, you got it!
What’s your investment?
What does this actually cost?
Talking about money is always a nerve wracking thing. There are other things you have to think about before you can think about spending anything on yourself.
You have bills, maybe kiddos, a household to support.
But then you have to ask yourself - when’s the last time you did something for you and you alone? It’s your time now. You deserve everything good in life and boudoir is an empowering thing.
