Throughout the year I have many of my brides, past/future and present…..as well as other fans and friends ask me…. Do you do boudoir!? My reply is always this: ONCE A YEAR! I am often asked why I limit these types of sessions to only 1 day in the year and truthfully, its more fun this way. I get to spend the entire day…and often well into the evening shooting a huge group of ladies. I bring in hair and make up. We BLAST girly music. We nibble on fruit, cheese and crackers while sipping on Rose Champagne! ITS THE BEST DAY. And in my experience, the hype of only holding these once a year helps hype up the ladies that so courageously sign up.

Well ladies….the time has come. No more saying… “Maybe next year….ok, when or if I lose 10 more pounds….I will see what I can do.”

Leave those excuses at the door. Let me tell you who boudoir is for:

1. A brave, confident, classy, radiant, spirited woman that LOVES herself.
2. A pregnant mom, a new mom, or a woman with amazing tiger marks!
3. A bride. A past, present or future bride that is looking to gift her husband/wife with the most special gift that will not only knock his socks off, but leave his jaw on the floor.
4. A single woman. No significant other…SO WHAT?!!? I have had single girls come and have these photos done just to show off how gorgeous they are without needing someone to give them to. We call these shots more glamour shots, but lets rock it together!!

So, here is the scoop for boudoir 2016:

I have secured us the entire Southern Suite at the Red Cottage in Cape May. We have a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a living room and access to a KILLER black fireplace/staircase! Just take a look!

Make Up: Hair and Make Up, $130.00 for both (not for each)….eyelashes are an extra $10.00 and HIGHLY recommended….plus a little something something for Mia’s service is always appreciated I am sure. She is the best of the best guys…so treat yourself!!!!

What to Bring: Time allows for 1-2 outfits. As far as props go, feathers are great, REAL rose petals are great (just make sure they are white or light pink…NO RED PETALS!) Bring heels, undie sets, night gowns, or any other types of lingerie you fancy. I highly RECOMMEND to bring a robe to get your hair and make up in so you do not have to lift off a shirt and flip flops to roam about the place in. For my brides in attendance, dont forget that bridal jewelry, veil, flower crowns (if they are fresh, that much better), garter, engagement ring (cleaned), bridal panties, corset, etc. If you would like to bring your dress, you absolutely may! At the very least bring that veil….it shoots brilliantly!

If you have a long tulle skirt YOU WILL definitely want to bring that! Tulle in boudoir is perfection! A spray tan 2 days prior is great so that you can let it fade a bit. Invest in a mani and pedi, I will be shooting close.

As far as other props go….your husbands tie, work shirt, uniform (military, police, fire, etc)…you bring it, we will shoot it! : )

Add Ons: The Little Black Book album is the PERFECT way to wrap up the loose ends of your session. If you choose to move forward with creating a little black book album, together we would choose the images, layout, engraving, binding, color, etc. You can even opt to add on a picture window of the front of the album, upgrade to a lush leather and add on a wood box to keep it extra safe. If this is NOT for you, I also offer a glass box with gold trim (4×6) or black trim (5×5) that holds loose prints that with me printed with a white matte. We would wrap these images in a lush silk ribbon and you can add loose feathers or rose petals the day you plan to gift your special someone with the images.  (Little Black Book Albums start at $200.00 and the Glass Boxes start at $100.00)

Here is an example of glass boxes I offer: (I add on the ribbon tied around the images for you)

Disclaimer: All of your photos will be turned around within 5-7 business days. Your photos will never be shared, posted or displayed without your written consent. These sessions are held in a very fun, but equally professional manor. There may be a lighting assistant present to assist, otherwise it will be just you and I in the room. I will not ask you to do anything you are uncomfortable with. You call the shots, I push the button! : P The goal of this session is to leave feeling empowered, sexy, beautiful and happy. Not stressed or uncomfortable. Your gallery of images that will be delivered will all be edited and provided in color and black and white variations. Your gallery will also come with a 4 digit pin for downloading and a password. Viewing and downloading can not be done without either.

To Book: As you can see we have a very limited amount of spaces available. We like to keep these parties exclusive and intimate. So these are first come first serve. Please email me at kaitlin@kaitlinnoelphotography.com. If you have already confirmed you would like to book a spot, PLEASE email me with a time slot of your choosing. Again, first come, first serve.

*** REMEMBER, WHEN YOU BOOK YOUR SLOT, YOU NEED TO ARRIVE 90 MINUTES PRIOR FOR HAIR AND MAKE UP APPLICATION!!!! PLEASE BE ON TIME!!!! If you are more than 30 minutes late to your appointment you will have to wait until all the other ladies go before your session.

I can not wait to see you gorgeous ladies soon!!!
