So, you're interested in scheduling your very own Boudoir Photoshoot?
I love that for you! And, obviously, I'm honored to be a part of your journey as you brave the path of self-discovery. As corny as that just sounded, I mean it. Without further ado, I present all the information that you could possibly want to know about booking your very own, custom curated, breathtaking boudoir photoshoot. And, more. So much more.

Firstly, let me introduce myself. My name is Amanda and I'm your future bestie AND new favorite photographer just staring intensely off into the abyss. . Just wait, you'll see. Anywho, I started my journey into Boudoir Photography five years ago and got the keys to my studio on New Years Day, 2021. I switched my focus to exclusively shooting boudoir and put all my time and energy into mastering my craft. I'm a go-getter-girly and staying dormant is not my forte. I'm always learning, growing, and evolving. I'm physically incapable of keeping my studio layout the same for longer than a few months because I crave to create unique and original art with each client. So if you want to get the exact same pictures that your bestie boo had at their session, you're in for a surprise! No two sessions are the same and that's by design. They do all have one thing in common and that's me, showing them just how incredible they are.
Ok, keep scrolling, we're just getting started. ( :

You're probably wondering how to go about scheduling one of those super awesome photoshoots that you've heard so much about. You're in the right place. Here's where I tell you what all is included with your experience and this is the part that will blow your mind. Let me preface by saying, I'm probably not what you're used to if you've ever worked with a photographer in the past. I know, because once upon a time, I used to meet up with complete strangers from the internet in secluded fields outside of metro parks to take family photos. This, is different. We talk. We get to know each other. I design the entire experience around you. We spend nearly an entire day together while you're in a state of undress. This requires a level of trust where you are left feeling comfortable in such a vulnerable state. So, yes, we need to get to know a little bit more about each other to establish that rapport. I could go on and on but I'll save all that for another section.

I mean, could it get any better? ​This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s a full-day celebration of YOU. Every detail is handled to give you a luxury, stress-free experience, leaving you feeling beautiful, confident, and empowered. It's pretty much the full package. When was the last time someone took care of ALL the planning?? Yeah, I'll wait.... You can still scroll while you ponder that. Next. up, the studio.

Remember when I said I am always changing the studio? Well, that is true. I am always rotating but a few things are permanent fixtures like the Antique Bedroom Suite. It's heavy af therefore, it shall always remain the same. The rest, well, nothing is off limits. In all seriousness, all of my big pieces get recycled and added back to the rotation. No matter what the current layout of the studio, it will always be moody, over the top, extra af, and unequivocally unique. Just like me! Jk, but not really. Yes, there are multiple sets and also yes, I did just ramble again. I tend to do that. Here's some recent studio pics. PSA - it's super pretty.

You've probably fallen in love with the studio by now because, who could blame you? It's expected. It's my favorite boudoir photography studio in Dayton, Ohio and soon will be yours. But, what about the side leading up to getting in front of the camera? Yes, I'm talking about the Client Closet. That's where we pre-game and set the vibe for the day. You'll get complimentary hair & makeup PLUS access to the famous studio wardrobe. We carry a variety of colors and styles of lingerie in sizes XXS-5X and shoes sized 5 1/2-11. Whips, chains, jewelry, robes, and everything in between. When I tell you I plan every little detail, I'm not exaggerating.
​
Oh, and I know you didn't ask but I'm going to answer the question you forgot to think of and that's yes. Yes, you'll have your own private changing room to try on all the outfits your heart desires and store any belongings your bring. Plus, NOBODY likes trying on lingerie with a crowd so, space you get. ( :

Not only do you get to borrow from baddie bay, you also get my expertise. Having someone who knows how lingerie fits on all types of bodies is pretty invaluable. Think of me like that perfectly lit flattering mirror from the boujee side of the department store back when stores were a thing. Except, BETTER! I'll unlock a new color that you had no idea would look good on you and it's only the beginning. Think of me as your personal cheerleader hyping you every step of the way!
Is this all sounding more and more exciting? Yeah, I know! Just wait, it gets better! Keep scrolling.

I'm sure you're used to just getting digital images but there's something so incredibly magical about seeing yourself in print. In fact, 100% of my clients will agree and tell you that the prints are by far their FAVORITE medium. Most clients have a physical reaction when seeing themself for the first time as art on art. If I could bottle up that feeling, I would. But I can't so luxury handcrafted heirlooms is the next best thing to remind you of the feeling you had during your experience. Trust me, if you're ever feeling down, looking back at your images is a guaranteed way to cheer you up.

I don't mean to sound brash but, I need you to ditch the idea that you need to fit a certain mold to participate in such an intimate type of portraiture. You do not need to lose a single pound. You don't need to wait for a special milestone. You don't even need to spend a large amount of money all at once. Don't worry, we'll get to that part.
​
You are worthy of celebrating right now. As you are. Perfectly imperfect. Every dimple, ripple, stretch mark, is perfectly placed. You might not see it now, but you will develop a new appreciation for your body.
​
​I don't want to change you. Nor will I hide you or edit you beyond recognition. You will see your true, authentic beauty through art and not some unobtainable version of yourself. We're building up self-esteem and healing self image while increasing confidence. It's basically a therapeutic hang out where we dress up and do fun shit and make cool art. It's a fun time and one heck of a workout.

If you're ready to book, all you need to do is schedule a quick consult call where I basically just reiterate all of this but on a much larger scale and more in depth. On the call, we'll go over the process, pricing, and any questions you have and what you picture for your one-of-a-kind Boudoir Photoshoot. After we've established that we're basically already besties and you're ready to move forward, I'll collect your $500 session fee, you'll pick your date, and BIPPITY BOPPITY BOOPS! You're in there like swimwear. From there, you'll just impatiently stare at the calendar counting down the days until you can see what the bathroom mirror doesn't show you. That baddie with a great booty and personality!

What about retouching?
I am happy to retouch your images! All of my images will have pimples, bruises, scratches, and under eye circles removed. I also offer retouching on things like cellulite, scars, small tattoos, stretch marks, etc that you may want removed. Honestly, most of my clients are WOW-ed at how amazing their images look straight out of camera and opt for less retouching than they thought they needed. It's all a very personal decision, and one that I leave up to you once you have viewed your images. I do not remove tan lines or correct skin tone from tanning beds or spray tans, so proceed with caution.
​
Do I get to talk to you before my session?
Before your session we will have a consultation over the phone so that we can prepare you for your session and get to know you better. I am here for you every step of the way to make sure that you feel prepared and comfortable during this whole process. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Email is how I communicate with clients, you can email me any time at contact@aythephotog.com. Also, make sure you join the private Facebook group and to get daily access to behind the scenes and see first hand how goofy I am.
​
What will I wear?
I have created a beautiful and comprehensive wardrobe guide that should give you the 411 on how to look and feel like a bombshell for your session. My policy is always "when in doubt, bring it"! You are welcome to make a Pinterest board and share it with me, so I can help you make your dream shoot a reality. I have an amazing client wardrobe that you can borrow from for your session with a ton of pieces to choose from (sizes XXS- 5X) that you are MORE than welcome to browse through. To be totally honest, most of my clients typically bring NOTHING to their session and rely solely on the fabulous Client Wardrobe - 99% of the lingerie you see women wearing in my images actually belong to the studio!!!
​
What types of boudoir sessions do you offer?
Yes, there are different types of boudoir sessions you can book!! And OOOH baby, I am ALWAYS changing it up! I am currently offering the following types of sessions:
-
Traditional Studio Sessions
-
Maternity Boudoir
-
Men's Boudoir
-
Couples Boudoir Sessions (you+your boo thang)
-
After-Dark Sessions (think 50-shades of Grey, November - February only)
-
Limited Edition Special Sets (exclusively available throughout the year to the email list)
Have something else in mind? Ask me! I am always up for new adventures.
How do I choose what kind of session I want to do?
Most people for their first time will opt for a Traditional Studio Session, but we can discuss this more during your No-Obligation Phone Consultation, which BTW you can book by clicking this link.
​
How does this work??
Your entire experience will last around 5-6 hours. We start with Hair & Makeup, 1 1/2-2 hours of shooting, break for lunch, then the ordering session. You will receive complimentary access to the ever growing client wardrobe, and much more! I'm going to pose you from head to pointed toe, and help you with a variety of facial expressions! Prepare to be sore after your session, we do a LOT of bending and twisting (it's quite the workout!). Studio Sessions begin at 9AM and typically wrap up by 3:30-4:00PM on Saturday and Sundays. Your ordering session will be scheduled the same day after we break for lunch. YES, you will get to see your images the SAME DAY!!! Payment plans are required or you can pay in full towards a product/collection.
​
How long does it take to get the albums and prints back?
You will receive your images in about 6-8 weeks (or sooner) after your ordering session! We will schedule a pickup time at the studio once all of your products have been delivered. I do not offer online galleries or multiple appointments for your reveal, all ordering decisions must be made at your ordering session. Post-Payments are not accepted.
​
So, how do I book and what do I need?
All you need to do is schedule a consultation where I'll go over everything. You'll pick your date, sign your contract, and pay your $500 session fee. Easy, peezy, booty, squeezy.
​
I need my images by XX date, when should I book?
My studio books up to 6-12 months in advance and my printed products can take up to 8 weeks for delivery. If you have a special occasion coming up or wish to book a holiday appointment, I recommend booking up to 12 months in advance of that date.
​
Can my spouse/friend/mom come to my session or my ordering appointment?
I do not allow guests to be present for any portion of the time you spend with me. My services are best delivered in a 1-on-1 atmosphere with your complete undivided attention. Unless they were included in the session, they are not permitted to attend. I want you to pick YOUR favorite images without the peanut gallery chiming in.
​
What can I expect to spend at my Reveal & Ordering Appointment?
Before I have created your images, it is hard for me to give you an exact figure as to what to expect. Some women come to me and just get a basic album, others come to me and want it all and invest several thousands on a variety of products. Keep in mind what you spend is up to you. You can purchase from my Collection Menu or the A La Carte Menu, both which will be sent to you immediately following the completion of your booking process. What I can say is this, if you are looking for a "quick shoot" or "just a few images," this is not the session for you. I offer an entire day experience and will show you anywhere from 60+ final images that will be printed on luxury products. It is certainly an investment, one that is worth its weight in gold. You'll never tire of looking at your images or forget the way the session day made you feel.
​​
Please note that if you're price shopping for the cheapest boudoir photoshoot in your area, I'm not it. Nothing about the process is cheap and you don't deserve a half assed experience. Everything screams luxury from the stunning studio, hair & makeup, client closet, expertly planned session down to the smallest detail, a full day of fun and pampering, my undivided attention to creating classic masterpieces, and my creative genius. Not to mention, I only offer the highest quality prints and artwork that are museum worthy and will last for generations to come. Boo, you're worth the splurge. Stop bargain hunting. You found what you're looking for. ( :
​
Artwork and digital images are purchased separately from the session fee and begin at $1500
Have sticker shock?
No worries, I know that this experience is an investment and therefore I offer several different payment plan options. You can split up the cost of any of my products via my interest free in-house payment plan and make smaller monthly or weekly payments towards your purchase leading up to your shoot (usually 6-12 months).
