Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to bring my own outfits?
A: I recommend you bring 3-5 favorite pieces of lingerie, accessories, and any other outfits you’d like to include. We also have a selection of elegant pieces you can choose from so don’t stress!
Q: I’ve never done a photoshoot before. Will you help me pose?
A: Absolutely! I will guide you through every pose and expression to make sure you feel comfortable and look stunning. I’ll tell you when to open your eyes, mouth breathe, and even remind you to point your toes as many times as needed. Posing is my expertise, so relax, you’re going to look AMAZING.
Q: Can I bring a friend for support?
A: We want you to feel as comfortable as possible, while at the same time creating a safe and positive environment. Feel free to bring a friend or bridesmaid along, as long as they can be an encouraging support system for you.
Q: What do brides normally gift their grooms?
A: Although this is typically a personal decision, most brides opt for one of our gorgeous albums in the color of their wedding theme. Albums do not include digital images, so if you think you'd like to create wall art or a fun coffee mug with your bum on it some day (who wouldn't want to start their day drinking coffee that way?), a digital collection or our client-favorite collection featuring an album with matching digitals may be the right choice for you!
