At Misty Boles Intimate Photography I want all women to embrace their unique beauty and celebrate their innate femininity. I believe that “sexy” doesn’t have an age, a dress size, or lifestyle. You can be sexy in lingerie and you can be sexy in jeans and a t-shirt. Sexy is a sensation, not an aesthetic. I believe every woman deserves to live a life filled with passion, intimacy, and an impenetrable sense of self worth. I want you to be in love with you, your whole self.
Let's talk about self love.
This is a call to love the skin you’re in! Women are on a journey to accept themselves and the bodies they were given. You can’t take care of something you don’t love. So, take time out of each day to check yourself out, be kind to yourself, and remind yourself that you are enough. You deserve a life filled with love. Whether you're already there, on the journey, or need a little jump-start, I am here to be your cheerleader.
Do It For Yourself
Boudoir is an expression of sexuality and liberation. While an album makes a fantastic gift for a partner, make sure you’re doing this for the right reasons. The album might be for them, but the experience is for you.
Give yourself permission to be sexy and express your sensuality. Get ready to bring out that inner Boss Babe and rock your session.
"Some women fear the fire... some women simply become it."
Self Discovery
The Consultation
Whether over coffee, or over the phone, your consultation will let me, Misty, get to know you better and give me the information needed to customize a session around who you are.
This is a complimentary appointment for you to learn more about the process and ask any questions you may have regarding hesitations or special requests.
As you prepare for your session, I want this to be an entire celebration of yourself. You are doing something that requires confidence and courage...two things women often express they sometimes lack in their lives. Boudoir can be an awesome exercise in testing yourself to try something a little outside of your comfort zone. And you get to look super hot doing it.
Whether you are trying to be better connected to your femininity or you want to straight up celebrate it, I’ve got the perfect experience to spice things up a little and give you an album that you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.
And don’t forget, it’s all about YOU! I give you permission to be the hottest lady in the room and I will help you own that mindset. You’ll be glad you did this.
What's Your Level of Comfort?
Bring on the Lingerie!
There are plenty of lingerie options that are fun and sexy and can also cover up any 'problem areas' we want to de-emphasize. Lingerie, like a good demi bra or a bustier for example, will help to emphasize your breasts if those are your best assets. Once you book you'll get my lingerie guide to help you navigate what works best for your body type and level of comfort. We can go as tame, or as red hot, as you'd like.
Partial Skin
Right off the coattails of "Bring on the Lingerie," we've got styling options that will show more and more. A bra and panty set is always a great option if you want to show off your abs.
Implied Nude
If you want the nude experience without having to actually BE nude this is perfect for you. We'll create the illusion of nudity by covering your breasts with sheets and your g-string thong is easily removed in post processing for side shots of the body.
Fine Art Nude
Women's bodies are truly beautiful forms. If you are so inclined (and brave), you may opt for some of the session to go totally nude. I'll pose you in classic fine art framing and focus on the landscape of your body.
What makes YOU feel sexy?
Take a moment to really think about what makes you feel sexy. Are you a red hot vixen, are you playful-sexy, are you innocent and sweet... a combination of the three? We'll want to know this when we get into your session. The feminine spirit is beautifully complex and each session we aim to show the fullest range of your wonderful personality.
How to Prep
I will remind you of these things closer to your date, but here are a couple things I like to touch on throughout the process.
- Nails. A detail often overlooked. Either treat yourself to a mani/pedi a 1-3 days before your session, or make sure you come in with clean trimmed nails. Try to avoid wild fashion colors that will conflict with your outfit choices.
- Hair. PROMISE me you won't hit up the hair salon and make a drastic change the day before your session. If you'd like a touch up or a cut and color, try to schedule this appointment a week before your session. That gives you plenty of time for corrective measure should the worst happen.
- Waxing/Shaving. Use your best judgement on waxing based on the growth rate of your hair if this is something you intend on doing. Give yourself at least 24 hrs for your body to reduce any inflammation. Shaving can be done the morning of your session.
- Packing. Pack your bag the night before. There might be enough nerves and jitters without running around doing last minute packing.
- Sleep. Get plenty of sleep! Literally talking about beauty rest here. It will really do wonders for your mindset and that gorgeous face of yours!
- And finally, come to your session with clean, dry hair. Give it a good wash and blowout the morning of your session so Monica, Shelby or Chelsy can work their artistic magic. Also come in with a clean, moisturized face. Unless you have any specific allergies or skin conditions and need to apply your own foundation, we've got you covered, girl!
Top Questions I Receive
"What if I've never been a model?"
All the women you see in my gallery are real women, just like you. I will pose your body down to your littlest finger. I will also coach your expression to get those sultry looks you see in the gallery. Most of my ladies come in having never been professionally photographed, and my team insures they leave feeling (and looking) like a super model.
"I don't know what I would wear."
We have a wonderful lingerie guide that will help you! My guide breaks down what is available to you and how it relates to your body type and level of comfort.
"Do you offer payment plans?"
I do! I try to make this experience as accessible to women as possible. Further below we'll go more in depth about the plans I offer.
"What if I refer a friend?"
Excellent question! For each friend you refer and drops your name at their consultation you will receive $100 in product credit toward your session products. Plus your friend will also receive a $100 product credit. If your session has passed, I will keep that info in your file for your NEXT boudoir session!
"Do my images need to be shared on social media?"
I 100% value the privacy of my clients. I do not share any images on social media without your explicit consent. At your reveal we will walk you through the 4 options: a full release, a partial release, anonymous photos only, or you may choose to waive it entirely and keep the photos just for you.
"Is there a minimum purchase?"
There is no minimum purchase. I meet a broad range of needs and budgets with what I offer, and you only buy what you absolutely love.
Let's Break It Down
Here's what to expect from us:
- Selecting your session date on my calendar
- Styling Consultation
- Perusing my Lingerie Guide
- Email when your session date approaches
- Your hot, steamy session
- Your Reveal Session approximately two weeks after your session
- Product delivery 3-4 weeks after your order is placed at your Reveal
I am here for you the entire step of the way. This is a once in a lifetime session for most ladies and my primary goal is to give you the experience you've always wanted. Do not hesitate to call or email with questions throughout your time with me!
Let's Get This Out of the Way
By this point, you have an idea of what the process looks like and you have seen plenty of images of awesome ladies. Some of you may be wondering things like: will I look good doing this? Do I have the confidence for boudoir? What if I don't like how I look? Am I good enough for this? Can I spend that kind of money on myself? If you have transcended these feelings of self doubt, go ahead and skip to the next section! But, if you need a few words of encouragement, then read on.
First of all, boudoir is for every woman and every body type. My promise to you is I will show you the most beautiful images of yourself you've ever seen. Sexy does not have a dress size. You will be posed and coached the whole way.
There is a common misconception about what confidence is. Confidence is earned from doing things that require you to be brave. Very few of my clients walk right into their sessions feeling like a model. It's my job to pull that out of you. And if you don't think I can, then I personally challenge you to let me try! Join the women who are pushing out of their comfort zones and showing themselves the courage from within.
You are good enough. You are good enough to go after anything you want. Sometimes life happens. And sometimes those things leave us with negative self beliefs. What if I told you those negative beliefs about your body and your beauty just aren't true? What if I showed you?
I serve women of all different income levels. Our yearly salaries do not dictate who we are as people; as women. No matter what amount of money you spend on your session, YOU are worth every penny. You are making a proprietary investment in your youth, beauty, and self worth.
Here's how to get the party started!
Contact me and pay your deposit to officially book your date. I often book ladies several months out, and that date cannot be given to anyone else. For this reason, the deposit is non-refundable.
Products and images can be purchased in a package or they can be sold separately. The choice is yours. This way, you are only walking away with artwork you absolutely love.
Some ladies will want a traditional setting which gives them the comfort and privacy of being indoors while others want to venture outdoors. Sessions are scheduled Wednesday through Friday. Locations outside of a one hour radius of Helena may incur travel fees.
Payment Plans and Discount Options
Payment plans are fantastic for my clients who want to make an investment in their beauty and self esteem, but pricing may not be one swipe of a bank card for them. Below we illustrate ways we try to make this experience as accessible as possible for as many women as we can.
Referral Program
My referral program is the easiest way to get some cash taken off your final order total at your reveal. Refer a friend and you'll gain $100 in product credit. Once your girlfriends' session fee is paid and they have made it onto my schedule, I will make a note of your credit in your client file. You may apply this to your upcoming order, or for your next boudoir session with me!
Boudie Bank Account
The Boudie Bank Account is a cute way of saying "pre-payment." Some of our ladies opt to do a pre-session payment plan so they can get their products faster after their reveal AND you can earn bonuses if you pre-pay for a collection before the day of your session.
In-House Payment Plan
My in-house payment plan is a very flexible solution for installments for any purchase. Purchases under $1000 will likely be easily accepted by PayPal Credit but I do like to be flexible for those not wanting to use credit. There is an additional 10% processing fee added to your final total for the in-house payment plan. The balance may be broken into installments for up to 6 months. It is an automatic debit system requiring two cards be kept on file. A late fee of 5% is added after the 10th day of delinquency. Products will be ready for pickup upon completion of the installment agreement.
Book Your Consultation
Let's chat! The consultation is complimentary and I'd love to grab some coffee to discuss your visions for your very own boudoir shoot. This is a great time for us to answer any additional questions you may have about the process.
Feel free to email me at misty@mistyboles.com or drop a line on my contact form here: www.mistyboles.com/contact-misty/
I look forward to working with you and creating this empowering experience!
