What is a boudoir session? A boudoir session is an opportunity for women to dress up and pose in sexy lingerie for portraits in a private setting. Boudoirs used to be for brides to surprise their husband’s on their wedding night but not anymore ladies! Boudoir photography is a great gift to give your man. It’s sure to be something he’ll never forget! But most of all... it is for YOU. Don’t have a significant other? Want to feel like a pampered supermodel? Then this photo session is for you!
Where do I sign up for my session? Drop me an email – bmalpedophotography@yahoo.com– to book your session or to ask any questions. You may also go to HERE to book online.
Who will photograph my session? That would be me! Brenda. New Jersey's premier, award winning boudoir photographer. CKL's Most Popular Boudoir Photographer for 2011.
What is provided at the shoot? Professional hair and make-up, a 60-120 minute session with me, Brenda Malpedo, as your photographer to help you relax and feel comfortable posing in front of the camera. You will receive a 5x7 leather assembled album and a CD with rights to print and a password-protected online gallery to display your images and order prints if you so desire.
I will have a few props and outfits on hand, but the sizes are limited and may not look right on you or that may not be your style. PLEASE bring your own outfits. I also have a fun jewelry collection that you are welcome to choose from. We will also be serving wine or champagne which is included in your session fee.
Is a makeup artist included? Absolutely!!!
What do I wear? Bring plenty of options. Two to four options is ideal. This can be ANYTHING you want, sexy lingerie or even one of his dress shirts and a tie, jersey! Not sure what you like best? Bring options! Get creative and let’s have fun. Don’t forget your sexy heels and stockings!
Although vintage is the theme, you’re welcome to bring your own ideas! Have a theme you want to do? Seen photos you want to recreate? Email them to me!
What do I need to do to prepare? Wear loose fitting clothes before your arrival to avoid bra lines/red marks. If you have any allergies to fabrics or makeup, be sure to bring products that will not cause a reaction. Iron and hang your clothes to avoid wrinkles and don’t forget to bring any props, hats, blankets, fur, jewelry, special makeup, heels, boots, stockings, etc. that you might like to use! Not sure what to bring? Always bring too much than not enough!
Should I bring props? YES! Please feel free to bring anything you can think of.
Can men participate? I also offer Couples Boudoir Sessions, but during a single boudoir session, I do not allow any men in the studio. Girls only at the photo shoot. But guys, if you want to give your girls a gift she won’t forget why not surprise her with a glamorous photo shoot and you’ll get a little bonus from it too!
Can I get a personalized album or calendar? Sure! Included in the session fee is a beautiful leather 5x7 assembled professional album. I offer several upgrades and have an extensive line of boutique prints and products! Just ask!
Will images from my session be displayed on your website or blog? I respect your privacy. Only images approved by you will be placed on my website/blog. I will ask for you to approve at least 3-5 images from the session that I may use for portfolio, blog, and website purposes. All images in your online gallery are password protected. This is NOT a requirement. All images that I use for advertising and marketing have been approved by each client via a signed written release. Some sessions never make their way to the web!!
I’ve never done this before and I’m nervous. That’s perfectly normal! I would be lying if I told you that you are the only one... Even the most confident women are nervous when they arrive, but that goes away very quickly! Feel free to bring anything that makes you feel more comfortable. An ipod or CD with your favorite tunes, a snuggly robe, etc. Getting your makeup and/or hair done before can also help to calm your nerves. AND there will be liquid courage if you choose! I promise a good time, afterwards girls always say how much fun they had.
Can I bring a friend? Of course, as long as she’s female. Only girls allowed!!
What if I don’t have a perfect body? No problem! You look fabulous just as you are! My job as a photographer is to emphasize the good and minimize the less than perfect. Come relax and be yourself. Remember, you are absolutely fabulous just the way you are. Take a few moments to check out the before and after galleries! Each session is tailored to each client and their body types as well as comfort level! Posing is everything, and my experience as a boudoir photographer is paramount in producing amazing, magazine quality images! =]
