THE EXPERIENCE & PRICING
What to expect during a Boudoir Photography Session
★★★★★ “Omg best experience of my life. Everyone should do this!”—Miss S
What is The Experience like?
A Photoshoot with me is calm, guided, and intentionally unhurried. From the first conversation to the final images, everything is designed to help you feel comfortable, supported, and fully yourself.
You don’t need to know how to pose or arrive with a plan. I’ll guide you through the entire session, from subtle movements to natural expressions, so nothing ever feels forced or performative.
This is a private, respectful experience—centered on trust, ease, and creating images that feel true to you.
★★★★★ “Petra is a master with lighting and photographing the female form! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease and the whole experience was very empowering."
— Lola
What to Expect: Before your session
Personalized Planning: We’ll talk through wardrobe, preparation, and any ideas or questions you have. Whether you come in with a clear vision or no expectations at all, we’ll shape the session together. So you can focus on the fun part!
★★★★★ “Petra was incredible to work with. She truly understands the world of art and photography. I recommend her above anyone else I’ve worked with. Such a great experience! You won’t be disappointed!
- Madison
What to Expect: During your session
Empathetic, Beginner-Friendly Posing & Directing
You’ll start with the easiest poses to get settled in. I’ll guide you every step of the way with gentle direction and plenty of space to breathe. Sessions are relaxed and un-rushed, with time to settle in and let you get into the flow.
We’ll create images that capture your best self. True to who you are, in the most flattering light.
★★★★★ “I am beyond thrilled with my photos! I never thought I would like this many pictures of myself, but I love every single one! I was so nervous at first, but it was totally worth it, I’m so happy I did this!” - Alex
What to Expect: After Your Session
Your images are carefully curated & edited by me personally.
I never outsource editing, and your photographs are never shared with third parties. Your privacy matters deeply.
Once your images are edited, you’ll receive a private, online gallery or flash drive if you prefer. Then we’ll design any art items you might want and get everything delivered to you!
“I’ve never felt more beautiful and strong than I did when seeing those photos (not even on my wedding day!) If you’re on the fence, this is your sign.”
— AMBER
SESSION PRICING
A Simple, Transparent Approach
I don’t believe in high-pressure sales or hidden costs. Everything is explained clearly before you book, and nothing is sprung on you after your session. I don’t charge session or sitting fees, or make you buy photos after the session. Every image I edit for you, I deliver to you. Even if I gift you a few extra, I never up-charge you or pressure you to buy more. Printed items like heirloom albums, wall art, and fine art prints, are available at the highest quality possible, and can be added on at any point.
My goal is for you to feel relaxed and confident—about the experience, the pricing, and your decision to be here.

“I went to Petra for a Boudoir photoshoot to give to my husband on our wedding day. Petra was AMAZING! We met before hand and talked through expectations which made me feel more comfortable on the day of. Her makeup artist was incredible (I hired her for my wedding day).
I didn’t feel uncomfortable during the shoot at all, it was super fun! Most importantly, the pictures turned out amazing. There were so many good ones, I had such a hard time deciding which to print but Petra was even helpful in picking out a good mix and layout so the book looked amazing. It was high quality, just like the pictures. It was such a fun experience, I’m ready to do it again!”
FAQs
-
It’s always advised to contact me as soon as possible. Dates book up several months in advance depending on the month, or I might have a last minute opening next week. The turnaround time is about 3-4 weeks including ship times so plan accordingly for special events. If you’re a planner and you’re really far out, it doesn’t hurt to go ahead and get in touch so we can start planning, or reserve a date if you have one in mind. I have started chatting with future clients as much as 2 years before their sessions!
-
It’s totally normal to be nervous! We always start out super easy with a pose that doesn’t require you to do very much so you can get used to me directing and guiding you, and then flow through the rest of your session while we chat. It’s easier than you think, I promise!
If this is something you want to do (if you’re reading this, I’m guessing it is!) then please don’t let nerves rob you of this empowering experience, you deserve to do this and you can do it!
-
I usually tell clients to think of your session as a special event. You want to feel your best, but you don’t need to go overboard. When we chat I’ll go over the important stuff, and you’ll get access to my full timeline checklist that has everything you’ll need to get ready for your day in front of the camera.
-
I’m always up for a fun, creative challenge! Let me know what you have in mind, and we can probably make it happen!
-
What you show is totally up to you! You can cover up entirely, stick a leg out, or bare it all for a few shots if you want.
Plenty of clients do a hybrid with some more clothed, and some nude. You can always see how you feel on the day.
Even if you are completely nude, rest assured that my images are always tasteful and classic.
You don’t even have to wear lingerie if that’s not your thing. A tank top, slouchy sweater over a bralette, flowy shirt, even leggings, there are so many ways to customize a session to fit your comfort and taste.
-
Because I photograph women of all different sizes, I do not keep more than a few universal prop pieces at the studio (I have a few lacy robes, a veil, some fun fabric.)
We’ll thoroughly go over wardrobe when we chat, but depending on which session you book you’ll want to bring a few outfits. My advice is to start in your closet, you may have a simple black bra & underwear set, or a bodysuit, paired with a sweater, white shirt, jean jacket, leather jacket, tank top, whatever you have and there you go! So many options to choose from already!
If you do want to do some shopping, I’ll make some suggestions when we chat about what I think might fit your style best, and share my master list of lingerie sites with you.
-
Your images are completely private to you unless you choose otherwise. I never post your photos anywhere without your permission. After your session you’ll have the opportunity to decide which, if any, photos you are comfortable sharing, and if you don't want to share any, that's totally ok!
-
After your session it typically takes 2 weeks for me to edit your session.
You’ll get a link to your private gallery and/or flash drive with images on it once they are done being edited.
If you’d like to add on an album or prints, we’ll talk about it once you have had time to see your photos and I’ll walk you through the design process.
