Frequently Asked questions

Why should I choose Sass and Style Photography?

As a female boudoir photographer you can rest assured that you will feel comfortable and at ease with me photographing you. I will take care of everything for you. I provide total posing guidance throughout your session. I have been shooting boudoir and intimate portraiture for over 6 years and you don’t need to be a certain age or shape to do a shoot. I will help guide you into poses that flatter your figure and that will focus attention on your best assets. Nerves are a big part of your shoot, that is totally understandable, but rest assured you are in the best hands when booking a shoot through me. My high end editing skills will mean that your images will look polished and professional.

Where do you take the photos?

My Boudoir Photography Sessions are shot by me, as your boudoir photographer, not from an actual studio, but from my beautiful home studio space here on the Sunshine Coast, which is full of natural light. A safe, welcoming and warm setting for your ultimate boudoir photography shoot experience.

What is the cost?

A deposit of $100.00 is required to book your session & is non-refundable. It secures the date and time. Packages are to be decided at the time of booking and paid for by the date of the shoot, unless a payment has been set up before hand. Packages can most definitely be upgraded after your shoot.

Is hair and makeup included?

Hair and Make-up is optional, as I like to offer those ladies that are comfortable doing their own hair and make-up the opportunity for either choice, but getting professional hair and makeup before your session is a lovely pamper. I have a very talented HMUA so please let me know if you opt for this option and I can organize her for you. She will come to the studio prior to the shoot, to give you an amazing makeover before your photo session! This luxury pampering experience (includes lashes). If opting for professional hair and make-up services, the cost is $220.00 and must be paid for upon booking also, to secure her for the date. This is also non-refundable.

When do I have to choose and pay for my photos/packages?

The only outlay at the time of booking, is your $100.00 deposit and $190.00 for professional Hair and Make-Up (if you have opted for this option).

Packages are to be decided at the time of booking and 50% is to be paid for by the date of your shoot and full payment is due before you receive your finished images/product, unless a payment has been set up before hand. Packages can most definitely be upgraded after your shoot.

Do you have Payment Plans?

The most popular option is a pre-payment plan leading up to your booking date, a "Boudie Bank". Progress payment receipts are always given and by the time your photoshoot date has arrived you have money in the bank to help you towards your chosen collection.

I accept Afterpay, Apple and Google pay (in studio only) and visa and master card. Transaction fees do apply when using either of these. The fee is added on at the point of sale.

I also do offer in house 0% interest free payment plans which is a very popular option, payments can be made weekly, fortnightly or monthly at an amount to best suit your budget. You don’t receive your finished products until fully paid for with this option.

Cash and Bank transfer are also greatly accepted.

Gift Certificates are also available for Purchase. These are a beautiful gift for that special someone in your life.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule the appointment?

If for any reason you can't make an appointment please let me know ASAP and I will work with you to try and find an alternative time if possible. Depending on the circumstances, you only have one opportunity to change your appointment time, otherwise you may lose your booking fee.

Can I give a Session as a Gift?

Certainly! Gift Certificates are available with a minimum purchase of $100.00

I have curves/ I am older/ I am not like a model. Is a boudoir photography shoot for me?

Yes! You are gorgeous! I have worked with all different shapes, sizes and ages of women. I am your personal boudoir photographer and when we are shooting, I will pose you in flattering poses and angles so that the finished images of you will be beautiful. If you feel uncomfortable in lingerie, there are other things as robes and shirts that we can shoot you in to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.

What is the editing process?

Each image chosen by you, is fully retouched individually by myself.  My touching up process involves you too, where I will discuss the level that you want to be touched up. I find most clients are different. I generally crop, do a skin soft, remove any blemishes, dark circles under eyes, cultivate curves and other little adjustments that I see when I am editing. Scars and stretchmarks do tell a story but these are removed and /or smoothed depending on each individual client. Most of my images that you see, don’t come straight out of my camera. I do love playing with colours and contrasts in post edit as well to accent your beautiful curves even more. My attention to detail is everything.

Can I keep my chosen images private?

Yes! It is totally your decision on how you wish your images to be shared. Sass and Style Photography understands that my client’s boudoir photography and intimate portraiture photography is very personal and I respect your privacy. Any images taken of you will not be shared online or in print, without your permission. Every client that comes through the studio has to sign a model release form which states what they allow me to be able to do with their images. Whether to remain completely private and nor shown to anyone, for anonymous (face not shown) or full release to allow me to share on my portfolio.

How many outfits do I bring?

Depending on your chosen package, I always recommend a minimum of 2 - 4 outfits with the option of my body jewelry closet, and wet/sheet shots. We can make our choices on the day, with what to wear. I do have a selection of heels here also for those clients that don’t often wear them. When you have booked and paid your deposit, I will then send out my Boudoir Photography Pre-Prep guide which will help you prepare for your shoot and what to bring.

Are you escort Friendly?

Yes! I am judgement free and shoot in a safe environment. If you are an escort, a digital/non-contact sex worker, or if you need OF content, I'm more than happy to work with you! Your session is all about you, and I customize your experience and your session to suit your needs in regards to anonymity, nudity, etc.

How far in advance should I book and what is your availability?

I shoot generally everyday except Thursday and Sundays, Saturdays by request, and these get booked out well in advance. Depending on a special occasion and your chosen package, please look at booking at least a two months in advance. Digital image packages only are generally ready within 2 weeks.

I have a friend excited to book a boudoir photography shoot as well.

Yes! My business benefits completely from word of mouth, so the more people you tell your Boudoir photography experience to the better for me. Spread the love!
