Only with Chiha Boudoir do you have access to the most exquisite photo books and printed photographs. You don’t just get a basic photo album. You get an Art Book. You don’t just get standard printed pictures. You get Art Prints that are individually matted in one of our custom Reveal Boxes. Other special artwork that we offer are our Leather Artwork and the Nostalgic Image Viewer.
I’m not going to lie… these will make you want to show them off to your friends or your partner… or your mom, who knows, maybe you have a super rad mom.
Do I need to be naked? Do I need to wear ‘typical’ boudoir outfits?
No and no! There’s no pressure to do anything specific. I’m here to help you make this what YOU want it to be. You can get incredible boudoir photographs no matter what you’re wearing. Here are some examples of the wide variety of outfit ideas.
Do you offer digital images?
Yes. You’ll have the option to choose a Photography Collection that includes some or all of your digital images. They will be in high resolution and we never put a watermark or our logo on them.
What’s a GIF?
A fun and sexy digital option that we offer at our boudoir studio. This works best with 2 to 4 images. Here’s a great example.
I’m freaking out! How can I calm my nerves?
You’re not the only one! Everyone is nervous in the beginning – it’s normal. The hardest part is just showing up for your photoshoot. I always tell my clients – all you have to do is show up. After that, it’s smooth sailing and I’ve got you covered. I’m here to help you feel more relaxed and comfortable from start to finish. You don’t have to stress about a thing.
How many outfits should I bring?
It’s always best to have OPTIONS. We will discuss outfit ideas on our planning call together before the photoshoot.
Usually we choose 2-3 outfits to use during the photoshoot. Which means, I recommend that you bring 3-5 options for us to review in person together at the start of your photoshoot. I’ll be able to give my advice on what will look best on camera, with your skin tone, your body type, and more. In the end, we typically choose 2-3 outfits to use. So you should bring 3-5 different outfits to choose from.
Having more than 1 outfit allows you to have better variety in your portraits. Sometimes it’s hard to know which outfit you’re going to love best until you see your photos afterwards.
What time should I show up?
You should plan to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time. This way you have time to park, go to the bathroom, and never feel rushed.
Where will my photoshoot be?
You have the option to have your photoshoot at your home or one of our hotel photoshoot suites. I have access to a collection of great hotels for photoshoots. Each one has it’s advantages. When you shoot in your own home, there is a level of familiarity and a personal touch. The con is that you probably have some organizing and cleaning up to do, and your home may not look as chic as the hotel suite.
With a hotel suite – everything is chic and polished and photoshoot ready. Take a look at the difference and we can discuss the 2 different options on our planning call together.
