Thinking about having pro Boudoir Photos done for my husband's birthday.

Lisa, can you share what your price range is for boudoir? Just so I have an idea.

I break mine down to a session fee and then whatever 'deliverable' (album, prints, discs, etc.) are desired. It's a 2-hour session for me (don't skimp on time, you'll need it for wardrobe and backdrop changes), which is $300.00. Disc only is $150, but you'll find that varies greatly with everyone. If someone orders an album ($300 and up) or large prints, canvases, etc., they get a disc included. Some people will also offer a hair/MUA person which will be extra - anywhere from $100-$200 or more. No, it's not that cheap, but there's a lot of styling and then editing involved.

I do mine at the person's home, normally. Sometimes it works out to have several people book the same day and then get a really sexy hotel room and divide the cost among the clients.

Thanks for sharing the information. That sounds very reasonable. I'd be of the sort to request a disc because I like to put together my own albums and photobooks (I presume I could send them off to a printer like mpix and have a book done).

My home definitely wouldn't work, it's not sexy-looking enough. ;-)

I won't get mine back till mid-August or I would post some. I was nervous about them at first but it was a great experience. It made me feel really great about myself seeing how great I looked in my un-edited pictures. I can't wait to see the edited ones.

I spent months researching to find the perfect photographer in my area. I was sad to find out that I was her last appointment in St. Louis before she moved to San Diego.

I also wanted to make my own photobook for my FH. A disk with all of the pictures was included in my price as well so it worked perfectly.

I found a kick ass photographer like 4 hours from me. He has his wife assist him in the shoot for liability and comfort purposes. Showed the hubs his work and he was amazed till I said so it looks like you love his work, so imma booking. "His" was the key word...lol so it was a no go. Good women photog's are slim pickings in my area. I want to do one so bad when I lose weight to give myself a little more confidence more then for my hubby...lol He says he can see me nekky anytime...

Love all your photo's ladies. Your all very brave IMHO!
