I'm not your typical boudoir photographer-- and never have been. 😀
I work a bit differently than most. If you thought all boudoir photographers were the same, you'd be terribly wrong. So, why have Florida women been booking with me up to a year ahead to reserve their session dates? Read on... Hi. I'm Lisa. Needless to say, I'm enthusiastic about my clients. I have been a boudoir photographer since 2018, and well, it's weird writing about yourself in this manner, but I guess you could say I operate one of those "fancy" boutique boudoir & erotica studios. Although I'm not for everyone, my specialty is working with women who are looking for something a bit more bespoke than your typical boudoir session. I work to create unique sets that surrounding photographers don't offer or have the expertise to pull the looks off correctly. Every year I work with women who make the trip to my place, and the result is not only a stunning artwork, but my clients walk away with an amazing experience and the heart filling joy each and every time they view their photos-- five years-- ten years into the future. It's a feeling that transcends words.
We all know boudoir photography is really a lot more than just a few cute photos. Not only is it an empowering experience, but it's also the most fun you can have making a gift for yourself or a significant other...most of my clients book sessions for themselves. So how does it all work? Simple. Typically, future clients end up contacting me on either my Contact Page, or my Facebook group to get the conversation started. Usually, I like to have a quick Zoom call or phone call to find out a little bit about what you're looking for in your session-- and to make sure we're a good fit. I operate in a bit of a customer-first fashion. It's important for me to provide great customer service-- and I'm here to guide you through the process...from the start-- to picking out the best photos for your album. It's a lot of work! 😂 Who is booking with me? Well, good question. I book quite a few "Just Because, Damnits!" but I book many clients who are looking specifically for my style of images. I tend to shoot and edit dark & sultry and that is what my clients are looking for. I also offer unique sets like our Body Chains set, Luxury Angel Wings sets, Artificial Shower set, Bondage set, Blacklight & Bodypaint set, Festival Rhinestone & Smoke Bombs set that many photographers aren't offering....Sound like you? How far ahead should you be booking me? Well, because of the amount of time dedicated to each project, I make a limited number of spots available for each month. I don't overbook-- my sanity is at stake. I book a max of 4 sessions per month with December a max of 2. What does that mean for you? If you are planning a session & need images by a certain date, I recommend booking your shoot at least 8-10 weeks before you need to have products in hand. You also need to take into consideration how long you will need a payment plan if you opt for our Boudie Bank. Most of our clients are booked out at least 6 months in advance as we do not offer post-session payment plans. There are times of the year, namely spring, and early fall that can be heavily sought after, and spots are often filled months ahead. Remember, too, after your session is complete we will meet up about 1-2 weeks after to see all of your best images fully retouched in a cinematic preview. From there, you albums and artwork are created for your preview & sent off for production. From there it can take an additional 2-4 weeks for products to arrive for inspection. It's a bit of a process... but so worth it. 😀 We are currently on a wait list to book a shoot with us. Join our Wait List here!
