You came here for a number. What follows is exactly what a boudoir shoot with us costs and what is included. Give it five minutes.
Boudoir photography pricing is split into two parts: you pay a session fee before the shoot to reserve your date, and you pay for your artwork and digital files after you have seen your photos.
The session fee books your date and covers the shoot itself.
Your VIP experience includes:
Ask what is in the fee before you pay it. Some studios charge separately for hair and makeup, or for the hotel suite.
Your session fee does not buy your photos; it buys the shoot. After your shoot, we sit down, look at what we made, and you pick the images you love.
You are choosing from things like:
Our clients typically invest around $2,500 on average for their luxury Las Vegas boudoir portrait collections and custom artwork.
You decide what you want to buy after you have seen the photos, not before.
Plainly, here is what you are paying for with us.
Behind the camera, you get Cherie and Hedley. Cherie was the first woman news photographer at The Toronto Sun. She has shot in more than 60 countries on a national grant. Hedley runs lighting and the creative side. Before any of this, he was a radio DJ in Canada. We are both Nikon-endorsed, and we have taught at Nikon events as speakers. Between us, it is more than 25 years.
Our work has run in Nikon World, Shutterbug, PPA Magazine, Rangefinder, and ProFoto. The Huffington Post put us among the top photographers in the country. Some of our images hang in The Pin-Up Museum.
When you are comparing boudoir photos, you are also comparing the hands holding the camera.
Some studios quote a low boudoir photo shoot cost and add the rest later. Ask about these five before you book elsewhere:
None of these apply to us, but they sting when nobody mentions them until the invoice.
Yes, and most of our clients do. You can split your boudoir photo session pricing over a few months, starting before your shoot or after it. Gift certificates are another route.
Plan on your session fee plus a small set of digital images. Where you land inside that depends on how many files you keep, and boudoir photo prices climb quickly once you start adding.
No. The session fee books your date and covers the shoot; your photos are a second purchase.
A little. Couples sessions run longer and take more setup, so expect to add somewhere around 15 to 25 percent over a solo rate.
Six to eight weeks is safe. For a Vegas weekend, or anything near a holiday, give it three months.
Most of our clients say exactly that on the phone. It is the single most common thing we hear, and it is why we coach every pose and every angle instead of leaving you to work it out alone.
Yes. Gift certificates work well for birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries, and ours do not expire.
We do. We have worked with clients around the world, and travel gets quoted along with your session.
Here is the honest close. There is no single price that fits every woman who walks through this door. Your date, your location, and what you decide to keep all move the total.
What we can do is give you a real one in about ten minutes on the phone. No pressure, no script — your questions, our answers.
