Frequently Asked Questions
What is boudoir photography?
Boudoir photography is an intimate photo experience for the client. Usually in the boudoir (bedroom in french), the client wears clothing, lingerie, or close to nothing to feel empowered within the body. This helps the client tap into your feminine and sensual side. The Friends of Rose experience, with Dany, is focused on sexual healing where you set intentions, receive reiki energy, and witness yourself awaken your divine feminine.
Why is it empowering to have boudoir photographs?
The whole boudoir experience with Friends of Rose is empowering. You will get to experience what it feels like to be present with your body. You are safe to explore what your body looks like. It’s empowering because you get to see yourself through an artistic lens that is wholly you.
What is the healing aspect to this experience?
Before the boudoir photoshoot, you will have an intuitive healing session with the healer / photographer, Dany. She is a reiki master, yoni healer, and womxn’s circle host. She specializes in holding sacred space for you to get in-tune with your body and breath. Experience sexual healing through boudoir photography.
How long does the session last?
Most ceremonies last up to two hours— 30 minutes for intuitive healing and 60 minutes for your photo session (depending on what collection you booked). There is time to ground, connect on other thoughts, and reflect in between.
Will I be able to decide how much skin I get to show?
This boudoir experience is soul-ly on your comfort level. You can be fully clothed, or fully exposed. As long as both the client and photographer is comfortable, it is a time to explore vulnerability and allow that to be an empowering experience.
Do I need experience in posing for the camera?
There is no experience required to do a boudoir ceremony with Friends of Rose. The Friends of Rose experience is for everyday womxn who want to feel empowered and comfortable in their own skin. The photographer, Dany, will guide you through the whole process of being in front of the camera. She will pose you from your head to toes. All you have to do is breathe.
Will hair and makeup be provided?
All boudoir sessions have an option to hire a hair & makeup artist for an additional cost. We highly recommend this to get the full experience.
Who will be present during the shoot?
The photographer and her assistant will be present during the whole ceremony. If you feel more comfortable with just the photographer, arrangements will be made to make sure you are fully comfortable. We ask that you do not bring anyone else to your boudoir ceremony as this is a healing experience for you. The energy is carefully curated and other people can throw the energy off.
Will I be able to keep my photos private if I choose? Or will they be shared on the internet?
We respect your privacy and will keep your photos private if you wish. Most clients decide to give permission for us to showcase their photos as apart of the empowerment process.
How many images do I receive?
We will have 60 minutes for the photo session of the ceremony. Within that time, we will capture at least 100 photos. After editing, there will be around 30 images to choose from. We discard the images that are copies or the ones where you’re blinking, etc. Depending on your collection, you get to choose 5, 10, or 15 digital images. Each extra digital is $75.
