As we start the session and you begin to pose, your comfort level will grow with each click of the camera. What may begin as nervousness will soon turn into fun as you get the hang of posing like a model, changing outfits, and enhancing your look. The posing process will become enjoyable as I guide you in positions that accentuate your unique figure. A boudoir photoshoot is all about making you feel sensual, stunning, and at ease. It's a chance to relax, have a great time, and radiate pure beauty!
Booking a boudoir photoshoot can often feel quite daunting for many. You're likely filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness, especially if it's your first time, and the thought might cross your mind, "This is really pushing my comfort zone!" Rest assured, what you're experiencing is completely normal. Almost every client who comes to me shares these same feelings. With almost 9 years of shooting boudoir, I can create a great experience, ease your anxieties, and capture stunning shots that boost your confidence.

Payment for your photography session can be made via your client portal, which will be sent to your email. To secure your session date, a non-refundable retainer fee of 50% of the total session cost is due at the time of booking. The remaining balance is payable on the day of the session.
If you're interested in ordering prints or products, you can do so through your online gallery after the session. Little Black Books typically take about 1-2 weeks to arrive after selections are chosen.
payment & orders
I shoot in various studios in: Cumberland, MD | Martinsburg, WV | Baltimore, MD | Washington, DC.
Being a photographer is the greatest adventure, I'm always looking for new locations and spaces. I'd love to photograph your session in your town! Studio and travel fees may apply for locations outside of these cities.
Alternatively, you might consider having your boudoir photos taken in the comfort of your own home. This choice can be less intimidating for some clients and adds a personal touch to your boudoir shoot, allowing your unique self to shine through.

Lets work together
THINK WE'D MAKE GREAT FRIENDS?
ME TOO.
After the session, I'll carefully curate and edit the photos, a process that usually takes about 1-2 weeks. Once they're ready, I'll provide you with a private, password-protected digital gallery where you can conveniently view and download your images.
When will I get my photos?
By default, I assume you prefer not to share your images on our website or social media. However, if you have favorites you'd like to share, it's entirely your choice. Many clients take pride in inspiring others by allowing us to showcase their images.
Do you share my images online?
We offer various payment options. A booking retainer is required to secure your shoot, with the remaining balance due on the shooting date. If you'd like more time to pay, we can schedule your shoot a few months out and set up a payment plan. Just let us know if you'd like to arrange this!
Do you offer payment plans?
I do have the ability to remove (most) scars, acne, blemishes, stretch marks and cellulite in addition to bruises and other random marks you may have on the day of your session! I don’t “take off 15 pounds” or do “body reshaping.” I work with clients to find the most flattering poses and lighting to highlight their best features. If there’s something you feel particularly self-conscious about, let me know!
Will my images be retouched?
I understand that situations can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify me as soon as possible. Deposits are generally non-refundable but can be applied to a future session if rescheduled within a certain time frame.
What is your cancellation policy?
Absolutely! If you feel bringing a friend will help you feel more comfortable, I don’t mind at all.
Can I bring a friend or partner for support?
Yes! Getting your makeup and hair done sets the tone for your session. If you have a very specific hair style in mind, ethnic hair, or simply want to come with your hair fully styled, that is fine. I've collaborated with a skilled makeup artist for five years, and their work significantly enhances the final image quality.
Is hair and makeup included?
You can explore my portfolio on my instagram @farfallaboudoir for a glimpse of my recent work.
Can we view a gallery of your recent BOUDOIR sessions?
If you have props or sentimental items you'd like to incorporate into your session, feel free to bring them along. These can add a unique touch to your photos.
What about props or special items?
You should bring a selection of lingerie, outfits, accessories, and any specific items that hold personal significance to you. Don't forget any preferred shoes or heels.
