What is Megan's Focus?
The main focus is to make this a fun, comfortable experience for you. My goal is to have a relaxed atmosphere, so you can feel confident, gorgeous, and sexy. Of course, feeling nervous and/or self-conscious is completely normal, at first; however, as your comfort is the priority, you’ll soon find nerves start to slip away.
​
​
What if I am Nervous/Awkward in Front of The Camera?
If that’s the case, you’re in the same place as 90% of my clients! And honestly, I’m right there with you. I’m super nervous in front of the camera myself, even though I’m a photographer! Because it’s so normal to feel anxious before a boudoir session, I’ve intentionally structured every minute of my boudoir sessions around helping my clients feel cozy, comfortable, and celebrated. I’ve got you.

​
What does the Photographer Provide?
Your session fee provides you with my shooting services for a predetermined length of time. The first thing I usually hear from clients is, "I have no idea how to pose!" Luckily for you, that's my job! I focus on being able to provide my clients with step by step instructions on posing. So don't worry about looking silly. I will literally get down on all fours and show you how to execute the poses. I pay attention to your eyes, fingers and toes, and even breathing. I've got you!
​
​
Is Hair and Makeup Included?
No and let me explain why. I want to show you and let you see how beautiful you are everyday. I don't want you to look back at your images and think " Damn, if only I looked like that all the time..." That is NOT my goal! I want you to see your images, the real you and think "I am GORGEOUS. I am SEXY. I am POWERFUL." I want you to see what I see, YOU a stunning bad ass babe who does not NEED to be made over. That being said, If you want to have hair/makeup professionally done, go for it! You will look beautiful no matter what! If would like to get all dolled up, I 100% recommend Katie Miller-Nicholas for all hair and makeup! For booking Katie can be reached at Katiemillermakeupartistry@gmail.com

​
Do You Support LGTBQIA+?
Absolutely, ALL are welcome in my space. My photography style is sensual, vibrant, and powerful, and while there’s definitely variety depending on the individual personality of each client, I bring my same style and posing guidance into all of my sessions. If you want your pictures to look like the work you see here on my website, then consider yourself welcome and celebrated!
​
​
What should I Wear?
This is a personal choice, but I recommend bringing a selection of items that make you feel amazing! (Or at least comfortable.) If you feel uncomfortable in what you are wearing, it shows! You are welcome to be as covered or uncovered as you like. It is completely up to you to decide how much you want to expose. Some clients prefer to bring only subtly suggestive clothing, while others want to include some topless or implied nudes. I am obsessed with bodysuits, an amazing bra and undie sets, bra/pantie sets with garter belts, cut off tees, and booty shorts, just a t-shirt, stockings, over sized, off the shoulder shirts or a cardigan with lacy boy shorts are also a great combo. For accessories chunky bangles...lots of them, the more the better! Fashion rings, long layering necklaces, & trendy earrings photograph well.
​
​
Do I have to be Naked?
Absolutely not! This session is all about your comfort, and the imagery you want to create! Want to keep it on the modest side, create the illusion, or go completely nudey- judey? I am here to capture whatever side of you, you'd like to express.
​
​
What about my Privacy?
Your privacy is of utmost importance. While some clients are so proud and excited about their images, and want them showed off all over, your images are your own. Your images can be 100% private. They will be delivered to you via password-protected online gallery, the rest will be stored in a password protected, numbered file on my office computer for one year. Your photos will be used in my portfolio or for marketing only if you have given explicit, written permission.
​
​
What if I Start my Period Before my Session??
That's totally fine and a really common concern that clients have. I do not reschedule for periods. As long as you are comfortable wearing a tampon we are good to go. If you have other concerns regarding your cycle, just let me know and we can certainly work around it!
​
​
DO'S & DONT'S BEFORE YOUR SESSION
​
DO: RELAX, ALLOW YOURSELF TIME TO FULLY INDULGE IN THE EXPERIENCE.
DON'T: BOOK AN IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT SOON AFTER YOUR SESSION. WE RECOMMEND TAKING OFF THE WHOLE DAY IF POSSIBLE AND GOING FOR DINNER AFTER. YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP IS GONNA BE DONE, SO WHY NOT CELEBRATE THIS AMAZING THING YOU JUST DID!
DO: PAMPER YOURSELF AND RELAX THROUGH BUBBLE BATHS, MANICURES, PEDICURES, ETC.
DON'T: SCHEDULE A BODY ALTERING TREATMENT TOO SOON BEFORE YOUR SESSION. INCLUDING: SPRAY TANS, CUPPING, LAZER HAIR REMOVAL, WAXING, ETC.
​
​
What is the Turn Around Time for Products?
Once you pay for your products in full it takes about 14-30 business days to get your products in. So, just be mindful of that when planning your special occasions.
​
​
What is Your Rescheduling/Cancellation Policy?
You are allowed ONE complimentary rescheduling date with 30 days notice. I understand things come up/happen where you need to move your original date. If you need to reschedule for a second time or give less than 30 days notice, there is a $300 rescheduling fee.
​
​
What Payment Methods Do You Take?
