I personally photograph all of Bijou Bleu's boudoir sessions and I'm available for Houston or Charlotte boudoir photography. I am also available for travel throughout the United States if you would like to book a desintation boudoir photography session. If there is anything I didn't answer below, feel free to contact me through our
boudoir photographer inquiry page.
Cheers,
Jessica Vallecorsa
Are most women nervous to have boudoir photos taken?
The nerves tend to wear off after the first 20 minutes of a boudoir photography session. I will start with some easy shots fully clothed and show you the images along the way. I have worked with all shapes and sizes and I'm confident that by the time you leave, you will feel confident and gorgeous.
Can I bring a friend with me?
Of course! In fact, I encourage bringing a female friend who will be able to help you change and make sure everything is in order with your lingerie. Having a friend there will also help you relax. Please be aware, however, that I do not allow men in my studio without my husband there. My husband would never be in the same room where the session is taking place, but I do have him in the studio if another man is there.
Can you airbrush my boudoir photos?
Yes, we have a professional female graphic designer on staff who handles all of our airbrushing. She will soften wrinkles and remove cellulite or anything else you may not like. Please note that while we can *remove* something from your photos, we can not *add* anything. Sorry - we can't plump up the cleavage and booty! :)
Do I need to be nude?
Whatever you feel comfortable in. I normally suggest about 4 outfits - one elaborate piece of lingerie and a couple more simple ones. I also suggest bringing something to reflect the presence of a man... a hat, a button down, or a pair of his cuff links reminds your man that you had him in mind when you were taking your photos.
Do you bring a second boudoir photographer?
Only at your request.
Do you do couple's boudoir?
No, sorry. I'm a female boudoir only kind of chica! I know pleanty of photogs that do though, and would be happy to recommend someone for you!
Do you have a hair and makeup artist at the studio for my boudoir session?
We have a regular hair and makeup artist that we use as requested. She will come to the boudoir studio and I'd be happy to book her for you if you'd like. A lot of women prefer to do this instead of going to their regular salon since it's more convenient to have everything at the studio. Our hair and makeup artist is also trained to do makeup that will show up well in photography.
Do you have a studio, or do I need to rent a hotel room?
We have a historic studio in downtown Houston with a lot of custom backdrops and fun props for boudoir photography. I'd be happy to travel for your session if you prefer to have it in a hotel or your home, but it isn't neccessary.
What should I wear?
Whatever you feel comfortable in. I normally suggest about 4 outfits - one elaborate piece of lingerie and a couple more simple ones. I also suggest bringing something to reflect the presence of a man... a hat, a button down, or a pair of his cuff links reminds your man that you had him in mind when you were taking your photos.
Will my boudoir photos be posted on your website?
Although I'd LOVE it if you let me display some of your more conservative photos, I will never post anything without your permission. There is a place on my contract where you can opt out of having your photos published online.
