Why have a photoshoot? These are just a few of the reasons why many women choose to come in for a photoshoot: To celebrate a milestone in your life, to create a unique gift for yourself or someone special, a well-deserved confidence boost, to create head shots to use as profile pictures for social media or dating sites, for a fun experience day to share with friends, to create bridal themed photographs to give to your other half as a surprise present on the morning of your wedding day, a maternity shoot to capture your beautiful bump, a couple shoot to celebrate an anniversary. The list goes on… Everyone’s reasons are personal and unique, that is why we tailor make each shoot around you, to create the ultimate bespoke experience.

What should I bring with me? We suggest that you bring in a few different underwear sets, some negligees, baby dolls, silk dressing gowns, corsets, basks, stockings or hold-ups (no tights please!) dresses, tops, skirts, jewellery, hats, and anything that makes you feel fabulous! The most important thing is to bring in underwear and clothes that are well fitted. You are going to be in a darkly-lit studio, so don’t be afraid to add a little colour to your selection. Shoes are also a must, so we can do a range of bare feet and heeled looks, and you can bring in as many pairs as you like! We also suggest bringing in things that personalise your shoot, so if you have any hobbies or interests, why not bring something related to this e.g. sporting tops or equipment, musical instruments, books or vinyls/cds.  If you are doing the shoot for a partner, their white shirt and tie are always a good idea too. As a rule, we always say if you’re considering it, bring it! We want you to feel comfortable and to show off the real of you, so bring in any items that you love and want to be photographed in.

Do you offer a glass of bubbly on arrival? We don’t need to win you over with bubbly (we use chocolate for that)! Besides we want you bright eyed not bleary eyed for your photoshoot. We offer a soothing cup of tea, an invigorating cup of coffee (the best around we’ve been told!) or some refreshing water to keep you hydrated prior to your shoot.

How long does my session last? We photograph only two people per day and each session is half a day long, so please allow anything between five to six hours. We like to make you feel special, so there won’t be any rushing only a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

When and how can I see my photos? You will be given the opportunity to view your images in a same day private viewing session. So there is no long wait to see your pictures, it all happens on the same day!

Do the images get airbrushed? Every image you choose to order will go through responsible post production and skin smoothing to magazine quality with our in-house retoucher.

How will I receive my order? We send your boudoir photographs out to you by franked first class post which means that our return address is printed on the front of every envelope. First Class postage & package is included. However if you prefer alternative postage methods this can be arranged and a fee will apply.

Why should I choose Boudoir Vancouver? We have a wealth of experience in photographing women, excelling for over 10 years in the boudoir industry. We believe in women empowerment, capturing the real you in a beautiful and artistic way, creating elegant and timeless images.  Our bespoke experiences are in a relaxed and friendly environment ensuring an enjoyable and fun day out. Words speak volumes, so please have a look at our reviews to see why we are chosen and highly recommended by women all over the world time and again.

Do I need to do anything before my shoot?  We suggest (but it is not essential) having a manicure/pedicure so your hands & feet look neat & tidy. When doing so please try to ensure the colour (if you choose one) does not clash with the colours of your clothing or lingerie that you are bringing in for your photoshoot. If it is your preference, we recommend waxing at least a few days prior to your shoot to avoid any redness or bumps. If you colour or highlight your hair, please come to the studio with your hair dyed as you would like it shown in your images, as retouching unwanted roots will take extra time in post-production. Please come in with clean, dry hair and a make-up free face and let us do the rest.

What happens when I arrive for my shoot? You will receive a warm welcome.  You will be offered tea or coffee and have time to relax and unwind wind whilst chatting with your female photographer about the feel for your photoshoot.  You will then be taken into our beautiful makeup room where our professional makeup artist will discuss the look she thinks will best suit your skin tones and face shape. Then the fun begins!

What happens in my shoot? Your photographer will start by going through everything you have brought with you, then putting together different styles for various looks and poses. He will then direct you into every single pose, ensuring you are looking perfect for each shot and showing off your beautiful self!

Who sees the photographs? Please be assured that no one but our in-house photographers and retouchers will ever see your images. Should we wish to use your images for any reason, we will seek written permission from you first.

How much will I be looking to spend on my photos? There is something for everyone on our price list although you should expect to spend anything from $4600 through to $1000 or more depending on the packages and products you decide to showcase your beautiful images with. We work with a NO PRESSURE environment so it is totally up to you!

What if I start to feel anxious before the shoot? We all have our insecurities and we understand that you may get pre shoot jitters but we provide an intimate, darkly lit environment and our team will make you feel comfortable and relaxed so you can concentrate on having fun whilst creating your timeless images.
