FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MODEL. I AM A REGULAR SIZED GIRL WITH/WITHOUT CURVES…. IS THIS REALLY FOR ME?
A: Of course you can! It’s not about size, it’s about confidence & attitude. We’ll glam you up with hair & makeup (if you opt for it), throw on an outfit to strut in & bring out your inner goddess!
Q: CAN I DROP IN ANYTIME TO CHECK OUT YOUR STUDIO?
A: Consultations and photo sessions are by appointment only. Please email us at trinidadboudoir@yahoo.com for your initial consultation (it’s FREE!) or use the form on the contact page.
Q: WHAT DAYS OF THE WEEK CAN I BOOK MY PHOTO SESSION?
A: Photo Sessions are available Monday through Friday although we do make some weekend exceptions. The typical start time is between 3-4pm for hair & makeup (which lasts around 1-2 hours) and then the photo session will take place immediately after your makeover and will last around 2 hours.
Q: I WANT TO DO THIS AS A SURPRISE GIFT FOR MY SPECIAL SOMEONE. HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?
A: Photo Sessions are normally booked at least one week in advance, especially if the finished product is for a Christmas, Valentine’s or birthday gift. Bookings for Christmas should be made late October and Valentine’s Day in December or early January.
Q: I DON’T HAVE ANY CLOTHING FOR MY SESSION? WILL YOU PROVIDE ALL THE WARDROBE AND PROPS?
A: We do have some clothing options available from fabrics, furs, lingerie sets to shoes — but you have to appreciate the fact that we couldn’t possibly carry every size imaginable. At the consultation, you will have an opportunity to see what is available and try some on for size. But you are also encouraged to bring clothing from your own wardrobe. Bring whatever makes you feel fabulously sexy! You could even buy a costume and have a themed photo session! In terms of props, based on the styling of your session, we will agree upon this accordingly.
Q: WILL MY IMAGES BE RETOUCHED?
A: All images that you select will be professionally retouched. This may include removing blemishes/scars, softening wrinkles, and giving you glowing skin!
Q: WHEN DO I PAY FOR MY SESSION?
A: When you decide to shoot, there is a non-refundable retainer. Once your photo session is booked, if you do not show up for your session or give at least 48 hours notice, your retainer fee is forfeited. The balance of your fee is due on the day of your photo session.
Q: WHAT DOES MY SESSION FEE INCLUDE? HOW MUCH SHOULD I EXPECT TO SPEND IN TOTAL?
A: The session fee includes our time at the location of your choice (portrait session, viewing appointment), 2 -3 outfit changes, use of our clothing collection if applicable, professional retouching of your 8 selected digital images at a cost of USD 450 . Additional retouched photos, prints and/or a glamorous photo book with text and image layout are available at an extra charge.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR PRIVACY POLICY? WHAT IF I DO NOT WANT MY IMAGES SHOWN ON YOUR WEBSITE/BLOG/SOCIAL MEDIA?
A: My clients' privacy is very important to me and I will not publish any images unless requested, and never without signed permission by the client. All photos on our website and social media are taken with collaborating models under a TFP (time for photos) contract and model release form.
Q: WHAT DO I BRING FOR A GLAMOUR/BOUDOIR SESSION?
A: You can wear whatever you feel fabulous in! Whether it’s jeans, a fancy dress and/or lingerie, you’ll want to choose from yours and our closet. Bring at least 3 outfits that are flattering and show off your figure and we’ll decide on your best looks together.
Q: HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE SESSION? IS THERE A CONSULTATION?
A: Yes, we offer free consultations. We will discuss as a team what kind of look you want and plan accordingly. We will give you tips on what to bring and how to prepare for your session. Contact us today for more information!
