FAQ

What exactly is boudoir portraiture?

Boudoir portraits are sexy, tasteful and intimate.  They have become trendy as wedding and anniversary presents, but anyone can enjoy them for any reason.  Our goal is to make a collection of photos that look straight out of a Victoria Secret catalog.

How much do I have to reveal?

Your portraits can be as revealing as you want.  We will never push you to pose in any way or wear anything that would make you uncomfortable.  You can be playfully sexy without showing much skin or can be brazen and show a lot, it’s entirely up to you.

Who will see these pictures?

Your privacy is very important to us.  Unless you willingly sign a model release stating otherwise, only the photographer, the lab and you will see the images.

Who takes these pictures?

Lane Hickenbottom, an award-winning photographer with experience in portraiture, wedding photography and photojournalism.  Lane’s photographs have appeared everywhere from TIME Magazines photos of the month and to MSNBC’s photos of the year.  His laid-back style will set your nerves at ease.

How does the process work?

If you are interested in boudoir portraits but still trying to decide, call or email us and we’ll set up time to meet for a free consultation.  We can meet face to face and answer all your questions.  Next we’ll have a photo shoot.  Then within a couple weeks you’ll be able to view the images in a private screening and place your order.

Where will the portrait session take place?

We can photograph in our studio or on location.  We can discuss the best option at a consultation.

What should I bring?

You need to bring your own clothing.  Bringing two or three outfits for each hour of shooting is recommended.  Wear whatever makes you feel sexy and don’t be afraid to ask us for advice before the photo shoot.  Feel free to bring any refreshments.

How long will the session last?

We offer one, two and three-hour sessions. Two hour sessions are our most popular option, giving us plenty of time for a couple outfit changes and a nice variety of imagery.
