ALL YOUR QUESTIONS

I don’t look like a supermodel, can I do this??
Every woman is beautiful and has all the qualities to be able to step in front of the camera for a life-changing experience. Cleveland Boudoir specializes in intimate portraits and this is the only thing our studio provides so rest assured you are in good hands. We work with you through the entire experience from sending you outfit guides to prep to what you need to do before you arrive on the day of. Throughout your session, we coach you through the whole shoot. This isn’t a session where you make up the poses, we tell you every single thing to do down to how to lay your fingers. Believe me, you are so much more capable of doing this than you even give yourself credit for!
HOW SOON SHOULD I CONTACT YOU TO GET MY SHOOT SCHEDULED?
The sooner you get in touch, the better! I book anywhere from one to three months out in the future, but my calendar is always changing so please get in touch and I’ll let you know my next available date.
Lastly, each year, I close for December to take some time off. If you’re looking to give someone boudoir photos as a Christmas gift, I recommend getting in touch well before December to schedule your boudoir session.

Questions? I have answers!
Can you edit out acne, stretch marks, scars?
What is included in editing: Color adjustments, skin smoothing, removal of acne, light cellulite and light skin lines. We also smooth skin on all images. While we also want to keep your body true to what your body is, we only do light nip/tucking. If you are wanting to become a size smaller there is an additional fee for this at $25/hour for any large changes. At your viewing apt. we can discuss the amount of editing you’d like to receive.
Do you provide outfits? What about shoes?
We no longer provide outfits in the studio and ask that all women bring their own lingerie. We found that even though we had a beautiful collection everyone was bringing their own pieces- that they KNEW they felt amazing in. We do have a collection of black heels between sizes 6-11 and also nude heels in 6-11.
What goes on during a shoot?
The first thing we go over when you arrive is looking through what you brought. I want to see all your outfits, any inspiration pictures you have or your ideas. Once we go over that we’ll then pick out some favorite music and get shooting. I direct the entire shoot and help you with your posed and moves the entire session. You do not have to make up posing by yourself (unless of course, you have been practicing and want to show off your hard work!
Will my images appear on your website?
I, of course, would be so honored to share your gorgeous images! HOWEVER, I completely understand and respect a clients privacy in this matter. There will never be a time you will be pressured into sharing and the bottom line is I honor whatever you decide to do with your images.
Can I bring a friend?
You are welcome to bring ONE girlfriend with you to your photoshoot. As far as husbands/boyfriends, we have a STRICT policy that they are not allowed during photoshoots. They ARE welcome to come to your reveal appointments.
This is the best investment you’ll ever make for your confidence!
