Fox and Bird Photography ABOUT OUR BOUDOIR SESSIONS

(Cover image photographed at Joāo Guedes Workshop 2019)

THIS GUIDE CONTAINS FULL NUDITY AND IS INTENDED FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE.

OUR PRICING

(let's get the boring stuff out of the way first!)

Our boudoir sessions are priced at $450 and are all-inclusive. This cost includes your online consultation, your portrait session which typically runs about 1.5-2hours long, and no less than 20 edited photos delivered by download from an online, password-protected gallery with a full print release. Prints and products are optional, and can be purchased directly through your online gallery upon receiving it. We no longer include hair & makeup with our boudoir sessions as we want to push for a more natural look, but you are welcome to have it done on your own time, ask us for a referral if you need one! Karla-Rae is the sole photographer - Albert will attend to assist with any sessions that involve smoke grenades or fire (see note below)*.

ABOUT OUR SESSIONS

First of all, I want to thank you for trusting me to photograph you in this most intimate setting. It means a lot that you have put your faith in me and I promise to do my best to leave you feeling absolutely incredible about yourself, and 100% respected. Although you may be feeling excited & nervous (especially if this is your first Boudoir experience) I promise it isn't as scary as you think! The best results always come from good preparation.

Your shoot will be styled specifically for you based the information you provide in the questionnaire I have sent and the outfits that you have chosen to wear for your shoot.So make sure you give yourself some time ahead of the shoot, to make a list of the things that you will need to bring, book, collect, purchase or do. Below are some tips/suggestions that will help!

Preparing for your shoot...

So you've just booked a boudoir session with Fox and Bird Photography - now what? Well first, we need to decide whether you would like your portrait session to be shot outdoors or here in our Boudoir Suite at Fox and Bird Photography. Here is a little info about each and some portrait examples.

Out in nature? In a sexy boudoir suite? Decisions, decisions.

OUTDOOR BOUDOIR SESSIONS

Outdoor boudoir photography adds another element to your portraits - nature. These locations are public, but (mostly) private. We will discuss location ideas, and any concepts you might have together to choose the most ideal spot for you, and can do some hiking and hit a few different spots along the way! During our outdoor sessions, for an additional fee, we can also incorporate smoke bomb grenades for a really cool look (see the waterfall portrait above!) . *When smoke, or any fire are involved in the session, Albert tags along with Karla-Rae to assist with the shoot. This is something you would have to be comfortable with if you are wishing to incorporate smoke grenades or fire into your photos - safety is PARAMOUNT and we want to ensure our forests stay safe as much as our clients do.

STUDIO BOUDOIR SESSIONS

Please note that indoor sessions are EXCLUSIVELY available from September through May. Between May and September we exclusively shoot outdoors, as the house gets stifling hot, and I am cooped up all winter long so LIVE for the outdoors come Spring. Please schedule accordingly if you are wanting an indoor experience. Thank you.

If you are wishing to shoot in our boudoir suite here at Fox and Bird Photography, our address is 104 Gladue bay in Thickwood behind Sobeys. We now have two spaces we can make work for these sessions. Our back bedroom is decorated in dark florals with a stripper pole and Neon GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS light, and we can pull an air mattress into the front room and shuffle things around to create a beautiful light/airy space. Shoot in the dark room, or both for an additional $100.00. The light/airy room is only available as an add-on at this time. Indoor sessions start at 1:00PM.

DARK AND MOODY

The back room, with it's Queen sized bed, stripper pole, and neon GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS light, SCREAMS sex.

Note that decor might change at any time (stripper pole and neon light are constants for now).

The pole/lights are available for any of our full boudoir sessions photographed in the room. Want your session shot in black and white, similar to below? we typically don't shoot in anything but colour, but just ask if this is more your vibe!

This last shot is probably my favourite from the set - because my man is in it with me <3

LIGHT AND AIRY

The front of our house gets the most light, and is decorated with this beautiful floral wall decal in a soft pink. We can pull an air mattress into the space and hope to eventually add in a chair for variety. This space is a bit more limited, and only available as a mini session add-on at this time, but gives a completely different, soft and sweet vibe to the session. We would shoot for an additional half hour or so, and once again I edit and deliver all of my favourite moments, promising no fewer than 5 with this add-on set.

A sweet and simple setup filled with light.

Faux Shower Add-On

This fall, we are bringing back our sexy faux shower set-up to the studio suite! Available as a mini session add-on to any of our indoor sessions, these are perfect if you really want to steam shit up! We would shoot for an additional half hour or so, and once again I edit and deliver all of my favourite moments, promising no fewer than 5 with this add-on set.

I snapped these at a workshop and then created my own shower set, see below!
I went with an emerald green backdrop for our faux shower, and absolutely LOVE it!

Couple's Boudoir Sessions

These were taken at the Fernweh workshop in Salmon Arm, and show the progression of a typical indoor couple's boudoir session, from comfortable and loved up, to more steamy and sultry. It is all based on your personal comfort levels with intimacy, and always makes for such beautiful memories!

Couple's Boudoir sessions bring the intimacy to a whole other level. For no extra charge bring your partner along for some intimate portraits of the two of you together.

Couple's Boudoir brings the intimacy to a whole other level. Captured in my favourite little spot in the forest.

Another from the Heart and The Heat Workshop - such an incredible time!

The studio bedroom suite is tiny, but it works too for couple's sessions <3

MALE BOUDOIR SESSIONS

I am slowly adding male boudoir photography as an option, accepting male clients that I have worked with previously on some other level, whether during a family or couple's photography session. I do occasionally bring an assistant along on these sessions.

WHAT TO WEAR

SHOPPING!

One of our most commonly asked questions is "Where can I buy lingerie?" And so, I have compiled a list of some absolutely incredible online stops to purchase lingerie from traditional to high end luxury lingerie stores. Remember to choose a variety of pieces, and always remember that your comfort is key! Make certain to check shipping/delivery times prior to purchase to ensure your items will arrive prior to your session date.

Afterwards...

Upon booking you will be presented with our contract, with a section in it to allow the release of your images on social media, print or advertising. Without your expressed signed consent I will not share any images publicly, these are your portraits and yours alone unless otherwise expressed by you. I do encourage you to allow me to share a few though, not only does it help our business grow and reach spread but you deserve the recognition - you rocked your session! Within 3 weeks of your session you will receive a password protected gallery from which to download your final images and place any print/product orders.

Contact me if you have any questions! I am really looking forward to our session!
