Wednesday FAQ

Hello beauties! I know when it comes to a boudoir session you probably have  A LOT of questions! I get emails everyday of girls who want to do a session and then apologize for all the questions they are about to ask. But, IT’S OK! A boudoir session is something new and I know plenty of you haven’t done this so every Wednesday I will address a new set of questions. I’ll start pretty basic this week and add more each week:)

And because a post is always better with pictures I am including 3 sessions I did last week.

So here we go!

Leah, you travel so much, where are you located? And will you come to x,y,z?
I am located in Akron, Ohio and I do travel, A LOT. Right now a large focus is on Ohio, Chicago, NYC and the Pacific Northwest. But, I even have boudoir sessionsin Jamaica this month I really will just pretty much anywhere! If you are booking a shot in Akron all sessions are done at my home studio in Akron.

Do you offer makeup and how much is it?
None of my packages at the moment (though this is changing VERY soon) offer makeup included but I work with the amazing and talented Ramona who can be booked for hair and makeup at $125. When you inquire just let me know you’re interested in makeup and we’ll set it up. But like I said, soon this will be included!

Do you have outfits I can wear or should I bring my own?
Both! The picture above is actually stuff I have here. I let her use the corset and the underwear (she gets to keep those as we definitely don’t reuse!) But, I do recommend everyone brings their own stuff and use my stuff as backup or extra.

Can I do topless?

Yes! And if you don’t want to bare it all you can always keep them covered by using your hands or laying on your stomach or even a sheet. The image above is a perfect example of a topless shot where she is holding with her hands. (Shoot through my chandelier)

In love with these images and completely smitten with that chandelier! You are amazing Leah! xoxo

Kelly Johnsen - April 13, 2011 - 1:01 pm

Love the new series! That’s a great idea to have some panties available…and ones that match the headboard! :-)

olesha - April 13, 2011 - 1:13 pm

This is a wonderful idea to share the questions for some ladies that may be a little shy to ask.

Cathy Empey - April 13, 2011 - 4:23 pm

I love the FAQ’s! It is great for clients to understand what goes into a session! Just have to say I LOVE your work, and that last image is amazing. Gorgeous!

Jennifer Williams - April 14, 2011 - 2:55 pm

Great post! Love the shots you shared too. That first photo is gorgeous.

love the FAQ post and your work Leah!

Brooklyn Bridge Bridal Shoot

When I was in NYC a couple weeks ago I did some shooting with some past clients. I really wanted to get to the Brooklyn Bridge and play around with some fun accessories and shoot for myself a little bit. When we got there the bridge was under construction but no worries, Amy and Dana rocked it out anyways!!

First stop for pictures, the apartment I rented in the West Village. Amy and Dana both bought their own wedding dresses but I also had brought an all lace dress I wanted to shoot with. A bit bridal boudoir for the first shots is what I was going for.

Dana, you are gorgeous!!

And Amy in her dress. We picked the coral necklace and against her skin and hair and the room is really stood out and looked beautiful.undefined

A little fringe..undefined

along with an adorable smile/laugh and a headband.undefined

I told you this necklace is amazing on this girl! Amy has some natural, sexy looks!undefined

And then off to Brooklyn Bridge we went! I was a bit bummed when we got there and they had all the construction but onward we go and shoot away! It was such a blast to shoot here as I have wanted to for a couple years now. It was also a riot to listen to everyone pass by!undefined

Loved this black hair piece we put in Dana’s hairundefined

and a little black and white..undefined

I had a couple images in my head and I knew I NEEDED a sequin bolero. I found this on etsy and the were able to overnight it to me. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I’ll definitely be using it again!undefinedundefinedundefined

 

Thank you again girls, I had a blast!! XOXO

Danielle - April 11, 2011 - 7:15 pm

kristen holly - April 18, 2011 - 4:05 pm
