questions and information

 

Before your session

Contact us to book your session.  We offer appointments 7 days a week at 10am, 2pm and 6pm.  Your chosen package fee is required to secure your booking.  If you want to book hair and makeup, this is also payable at the time of booking.  We accept payment by most major debit and credit cards.  Please bring along the following items with you - five sets of lingerie / either a black pencil skirt or a pair of jeans / a white buttoned shirt / a pair of stockings (preferably not holdups) / a pair of killer heels!  Buy a cheapie pair if you don't own any, it's worth it.  After your booking is made, we will send you full details of what to bring and how to find us.  We are a high street studio, you won't have to come to a hotel room!

During your session

Please don't worry about being nervous or not knowing what to do - it would be unusual if you weren't apprehensive.  And Rachel will explain exactly how you need to sit or lay, you don't need to have any clue about that.  Music will be playing and refreshments will be available throughout.  Trust us - it will be a fun experience!  Feel free to arrange to call someone to tell them you have arrived safely - there's also a Starbucks nearby if you want to bring someone to wait for you.

After the session

Your photos will be ready to view within one week of your session, and we aim to deliver your chosen products within two weeks of you ordering them. You will view your photos via a password protected online gallery.  You'll usually have around 30 to 40 photos to choose from, and they will be a mixture of black & white and colour.  We're often asked if the photos will appear anywhere on the website, and the simple answer is - nothing will be shown that identifies you (eg your face) unless you give your written permission.  If you want nothing at all to be shown - eg body shots which don't show your face -  just let us know!  If you specifically tell us not to show anything, we won't.

Some additional notes - 

* if you want to chat to Rachel before you book, feel free to call or fill out our contact form

* you must be over 18 to take part in a boudoir session, and you may be asked for ID

* it doesn't matter if you are a size 6 or a 26... we will make the most of your best features and emphasise these.  We'll use lighting techniques and posing to minimise areas you are uncomfortable with.  You shouldn't feel at all self conscious about your figure because our job is to show who you are in the best possible way.
