Boudoir Session


I know that there's no section on my website about this, but one kind of shoot that has become very popular lately is the Boudoir shoot. Boudoir shoots are basically sexy photo shoots that give you an opportunity to wear different styles of lingerie (or whatever you want). Lots of my brides request these sessions, and the albums that we make are such a great gift for fiancee's on the wedding day--it always gets a great reaction!

There are often some questions about these sessions so I'm going to answer a few of them here in case anyone is thinking of having this done!

Q: What if I'm not a size 2 with a perfect body?
A: No problem! My job as a photographer is to emphasize the good and minimize the less than perfect. Besides, your fiancee doesn't expect you to look like a different person, and he thinks you are sexy the way you are!

Q: Where will we shoot?
A: If you live in, or have a friend that lives in Orange County, we can shoot at that location. Often, girls get a room at a nice hotel and we shoot there and down at the beach too. My house is also an option if you can't find any other place.

Q: What should I wear?
A: Its best to bring a wide variety of different outfits, and photos of poses you've seen in magazines that you like so we have something to start with. As the shoot progresses, you will feel more comfortable and able to try different things on your own, but it helps if you have something to look at to begin.

Q: Do I have to shoot nude?
A: No, of course not! Unless you are in lingerie, I primarily shoot only "implied nude", where you may not be wearing much but you can't see anything showing that you might not want shown. You don't even have to do this if you don't want to--lingerie is just fine. You can also decide at the shoot what you are comfortable/not comfortable showing.

Q: But....are you going to post photos of me on your blog? I really don't want anyone to see them!
A: No, of course not without your permission! The girls whom I have posted in my blog have given me the go-ahead to post those photos up there and I would never post photos of you that you were uncomfortable with.

The albums also make awesome Valentine's Day gifts, but they take awhile to produce, so the next two months are the prime shooting time for these sessions! Sessions are $500 and albums start at $700, so if you are interested send an email to jessica@jcsphoto.com to schedule your appointment right away!
