Boudoir Photography – Sydney

Location for the boudoir photo shoot

A hotel room in Sydney, AirBnB or your own house will be the best options. I can help you find a place, but you will need to do the booking. I do suggest using your own home as the cheapest and the best option, as you will feel the most comfortable there. We’ll just need a room with decent light for a few hours.

Visitors to Sydney

If you are visiting from out of town, we can combine your visit with a boudoir photo session in your Sydney hotel room. Give me a bit of notice, please, to organise my schedule.

I can and have traveled to do my boudoir portraits away from Sydney. The Blue Mountains, Central Coast. Even shot in Gold Coast. If you live away from Sydney, but still want to book a boudoir session, please contact me. Some additional cost may be involved, but it doesn’t hurt to have a chat about it.

After the shoot

I may take hundreds of images during our boudoir photo shoot. That is the fun part of being a photographer. The job starts with selecting the best images from the session. I expect to get around 25 great shots, but it may be a bit more. I will deliver to you every great boudoir shot that I think you may like.

Out of the 25 or so images that I selected I will further edit and retouch one of the images to show you what the final product will look like. Boudoir photography is half of the job, boudoir retouching is something that is done behind the scenes.

I am an expert Photoshop editor and retoucher and I will make the images as beautiful as they can be. I look at boudoir or glamour photography as more of a fantasy shoot, therefore I use Photoshop quite extensively. At the end of the day, we’re not shooting your passport photo.

Your selected images will be uploaded to your private, password protected online gallery. All selected images and one fully retouched one as well. From there you can choose the number of images you’d like to purchase. Just a few, or the entire collection; It’s up to you.

I do recommend getting a nice professional photo album as a home for your boudoir images. I use a supplier that creates great quality albums at a very reasonable price. I’ll design the album myself and if you choose to get one, you will receive a copy within 4 weeks from the day you sign off on the final design. Boudoir photography photo album is optional, of course, but they do look beautiful.

You can also order framed prints or canvas enlargements. These images I will enlarge in photoshop to the desired size. I’ll get them professionally printed by a company that offers 75 years quality guarantee. In other words, they are pretty good at what they do.

How it works in bullet points

1. If you’re happy with my boudoir photography style and want to work with me, you can make a booking. Payment of the session fee is essential to confirm the date. This can be paid via PayPal, credit card or bank transfer. The session fee covers the actual shoot, the online gallery and professional hair, and makeup. It does not cover digital files or print products.
2. On the day of the shoot, I will arrive at hour home or the hotel you are staying at, with a hair and makeup artist and we’ll begin the preparation. You’ll get made up and I’ll set up lights for the shoot.
3. We’ll start the boudoir session with a few tips and tricks that will help you relax and will consequently make you look your best in front of the camera. I will continue to direct you throughout the shoot, of course. I promise you that it may feel scary at first, but taking glamour and boudoir photos is actually a lot of fun.
4. After the shoot, but no later than 2 weeks from the shoot, after I’ve done the editing and retouching, I’ll contact you via email with a link to your private online gallery; and the password.
5. You’ll be able to see all the selected images and one that is fully retouched. This will be decision time for you. Purchase individual photographs or the entire collection. Maybe get an album and some large fine art prints as well.
6. Once you decide on the images that you want, I’ll wait for the final payment to clear and I’ll retouch the rest of your selection. This may take up to 3 weeks.
7. Final images will be uploaded to another private online gallery where you’ll be able to download them straight to your computer.
8. If you decide to do your own printing and framing, that will be the end of our work together.
9. If your order contains an album or framed prints, those will be designed by me and delivered to you about 4 weeks after the sign off date.
