“You were incredible to work with. This was an incredible experience, very out of my comfort zone but so worth it!! I strongly belive that every woman needs to do something like this.”
WHY DOES BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY COST SO MUCH?
There are many factors to consider. The cost of a boudoir shoot can vary depending on the photographer’s expertise and quality, session length, equipment costs, furniture and decoration cost, location, additional services like hair and makeup and sugaring, and available products such as prints and albums. You’ll be photographed with the state-of-the-art camera body and lenses that cost tens of thousands of dollars. It’s quite a lot!
“I love how moody it looks. It’s great seeing myself in a new light. Both the experience and the album made me feel beautiful and sexy!!”
I AM NOT A MODEL, AND HAVE NEVER DONE THIS. IS THAT A PROBLEM?
I have shot women of all ages, shapes and sizes. No one comes in knowing how to pose, and everyone leaves with amazing pictures! You’ve hired me to make you look and feel the best you ever have, and I guarantee you'll leave with a new found confidence. Your only job: have fun and relax. I only ask that you place your confidence in me. I promise you will love your portraits.

WILL MY PHOTOS BE ON THE INTERNET?
Not unless you say it’s okay! Every client I feature on my website and social media has given me written permission to post her images. Privacy is very important to me. If you decide you don’t want them shared, that is completely fine. If you want to give permission, I’d LOVE to share them so other women can get an idea of what the experience looks and feels like.
“Just wanted to send a quick thank you for today, I truly had a blast, and loved the outcome of the photos we chose. Although I will always be somewhat critical of myself, you have definitely made me see myself in a whole new light. Thank you again for this amazing experience and the patience you had. You as well as Sam will be very highly recommended in my eyes.”
I HAVE PROBLEM AREAS, DO YOU PHOTOSHOP?
Yes! Photoshop can reduce or completely remove most common issues. I do less editing than many boudoir photographers because I believe in showing the real you. I have never been a fan of pictures that make people look like plastic dolls. After hundreds of shoots I've mastered the lighting and posing that is used to flatter your specific body type, no matter your curves or age. Photoshop can then be used to perfect the images.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
Please do! I highly encourage bringing a friend to your shoot!
DO YOU OFFER HAIR/MAKEUP SERVICE?
Absolutely! Having your hair and makeup done is an integral part of your experience. Hair and makeup is included in all Xpression Boudoir Experiences. Sit back, relax and chat with us a bit before your shoot. Hair is done by our very best Samantha from Samantha James Hair Design so you are in very good hands.
“I had an amazing experience! Thank you soo much! I loved it, and I love the album! And I kinda want to show off the pictures to everyone now.”
I NEED IDEAS! CAN YOU HELP?
Heck yes! I am here to help. Click here: Schedule A 30 minute Consult! I will talk you through the whole experience, show you samples, discuss ideas, chat pricing, let you ask questions, and get everything rolling! This meeting can be at my studio or via phone call, FaceTime, Whatsapp, or Zoom. It's great to get to know everyone before their shoot and it's a great way to calm some nerves before your session!
A MALE BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHER? UM…
Ah yes, the proverbial elephant in the room! Some women are unsure about a male boudoir photographer, while some prefer them. There are actually quite a few benefits to having a male boudoir photographer, here are 5 reasons why. I guarantee a completely comfortable, professional, and FUN atmosphere. One thing is certain, I will capture images that both you and your partner will enjoy!
“So my hubby came home at midnight woke me up and tore the package apart to see the album. He was like a child in a candy store and pointed out/loved poses that you suggested to put in. There is truth to a guy’s perspective on boudoir photoshoots.”
I’M NOT SURE WHAT I WANT TO ORDER YET, CAN I DECIDE WHEN I SEE MY PHOTOS?
Yes! After your shoot we will meet to view your images and discuss product options. Once you decide on what you'd like to order (fine art album, wall print, small print, etc), it takes about a few days to edit the images and another two weeks for them to arrive.
