FAQ’s
Here are some of the more frequent questions:
First Things First:
WE WILL NOT SHOOT A SESSION WITH A MINOR. Period!!
• Q Where are you located?
~ Our primary location is in the southwest region of Florida, Venice/Sarasota. We regularly travel and like the NE Ohio area with Lake Erie, Put-in-Bay. We have shot in Los Angeles, the Bahamas and are open to meeting you where you are. We feel our work is that good, that’s it’s worth the trip.

• Q How do I prepare for my photo shoot/session – Outfits?
~ If you are booked for a Fetish/Erotic session please don’t forget to shave, and wear loose clothing and undergarments so that they do not leave marks on your skin. It is imperative that you do not have elastic marks on your skin for the session! It’s always better to bring more outfits rather than not having enough. Bring a pair of shoes for each outfit; stunning heels can really make a shot great! We have found that sometime the most sensual shots have the subject wearing legwear of some kind, whether it’s lingerie, pantyhose or stockings – it has a way of smoothing out the legs. Just a suggestion. Don’t forget to complete the look with any jewelry and accessories that you may want to use.
• Q What about makeup and facial tones?
~ This can be totally on you or we can obtain a makeup artist for you.
• Q What about the size of the finish product; 8×10, 11×14 or canvas wall hanging?
~We can have your images in any size you wish and even have them on a large canvas that will appear as if they were painted by one the greats. Wall canvases of 3 foot x 5 foot that fit over a fireplace can be arranged. Framed or unframed – we’ll discuss and arrange it for you.
• Q How much do you charge?
~ We “could” quote you a base rate and then at the end surprise you… however, we’d rather sit and discuss your goals and what you want to achieve through the session. It can be very affordable… and yet going on location, canvas prints will add to the cost.
• Q. Can I bring a friend?
~ YES! If you have a friend that would like to also do a session and you would like to schedule your session on the same day as hers, GREAT! IF – you would feel more comfortable with someone you know there with you, then absolutely bring a person with you. Keep in mind that sometimes you can be more self-conscious knowing someone they know is watching. You will be able to let loose and feel more free if no one else is hanging around. However, if it is absolutely imperative that you bring a friend then please do. Your comfort is top priority and we would rather you be comfortable than overly nervous. The choice is yours.
• Q. I really want to do a session, but I don’t think I’m in shape enough…
~ BIG MISCONCEPTION!!!! Glamour Photography is NOT just for skinny women! It is for any woman of every size. All women are beautiful. It is our job as photographers to elevate your greatest assets and minimize the things you’re self-conscious about. Curves are a beautiful thing and we love to photograph them. If you really feel the need to lose weight before your session, schedule it for a few months away and let it be your driving factor and sweetest treat for reaching your goal!
• Q. I have a few images I like I found online and in magazines, can I bring them so I can get a shot like them?
~ Most definitely!!! The best way to show us what style you would like to portray is to bring us sample images of what you have in mind. Though we will not replicate any images exactly, we will produce something unique to you in the same style. You can find images online through various search terms such as boudoir photography, glamour photography, fetish or erotic photography and intimate photography. Be sure to bring any photos you have saved with you for your consultation appointment or email them before your session date so that we are prepared.
• Q. I want to do a session but I don’t want my photos posted online. Are my photos safe?
~ Yes, ABSOLUTELY! Rest assured that your photos are completely safe. Every woman who you have seen on our website, blog, and anywhere else online or in print form has given us the honor of using their photos through a signed model release/waiver form. We will NEVER post ANY photos without signed permission. Many women find it a privilege to have their photos chosen to be displayed, but we certainly understand privacy concerns. Discretion is paramount.
• Q Do you provide lingerie or wardrobe for my session?
~ We do not provide you with lingerie for the session for hygienic reasons. We will have a few accessories and things to use, but please bring your own wardrobe. Use your partner’s clothing (favorite T-shirt, button down shirt, boxers, uniform, etc.) for a personal touch, a sports jersey, leather jacket, bed sheet, cocktail dress, or you can opt for wearing nothing at all. Be creative!
• Q Do I have to be nude?
~ Glamour sessions can be stunning when you’re wearing anything from dresses and lingerie to the creative and bizarre. You most certainly do not have to be nude for your session. The best photo shoots generally leave the hint of what is NOT REVEALED. Think of the “mystery factor”. If you wish to have a nude photograph takem – then we will accommodate your desires. What you wear, or don’t wear, is entirely up to you and your comfort level. Your comfort is our top priority.
• Q Do you retouch the photographs?
~ Yes, we do retouch skin and temporary imperfections. If you have birthmarks, scars or permanent features that you would like removed please discuss this with us.
• Q Do you help with posing?
~ As photographers it is our job to find the most flattering poses for you. We will give you guidance throughout the process and help you to look your absolute best! We will also coach you with facial expressions.
• Q Can I bring music?
~ Of course! Bring your tunes! Music can really set the tone and get you in the mood. If you don’t have any music to bring, we have music that mat be appropriate for your specific mood.
• Q Will you photograph a man?
~ Our site is geared towards women because Glamour/Boudoir photography is more popular among women, but we do not discriminate against gender in any way. Couples are welcome as well!
• Q What about the size of the finish product; 8×10, 11×14 or canvas wall hanging?
~Yes – we can have your images in any size you wish and even have them on a large canvas that will appear as if they were painted by one the greats. Wall canvases of 3 foot x 5 foot that fit over a fireplace can be arranged. Framed or unframed – we’ll discuss and arrange it for you.
