Over the years, I've learned that boudoir sessions are usually booked as a fun wedding gift for their partner, but every woman leaves their session realizing it was equally for them, if not more so! A boudoir sessions is a great way to celebrate your body and what makes it uniquely beautiful and strong. This Experience is completely centered around you and your comfort level. We'll cheers to you and shake off any nerves (T. Swift style!) to create images you're proud of and showcase your one-of-a-kind beauty!
Boudoir sessions are run differently from weddings & engagements due to the luxury experience and the time spent hands on with each gorgeous soul. As a MJMP Bride, you get a discounted session fee (normally $350) and 15% off products & collections.
The session fee includes:
the experience
01.
the average investment
$2800
Products begin at $1200 with Collections starting at $1800. A la carte products are available for clients who invest in albums or collections.
Boudoir sessions take place in local Airbnb's that were carefully handpicked by me for the best natural light & privacy.
Sessions are booked months in advance (and if you're using this as a gift before the wedding, I recommend 3 months prior to the date!) on Fridays and Sundays. The Boudoir Experience is roughly 4 hours from the start of hair & makeup til hugging each other goodbye after your image reveal the same day.

You're in love with the soft delicate images, I'm in love with making women feel gorgeous in their bodies. Let's jump on the phone again so I can walk you through the process step by step, find out what your desires are for your session and get you excited to invest in YOURSELF (also if this is for your partner, I'm a pretty good secret-keeper)
Step one: connect & chat
03.
After our phone call and you pick your session date, I'll send over the contract & invoice for the session fee. Once I get both the contract and the session fee back, it's officially official! We'll prepare you for your day of pampering and being treated like a literal goddess with a prep guide and pre-session planning consultation...
step two: officially official
Before your session, we'll jump back on the phone to plan your session! I'm talking about lingerie guidance and prop ideas, poses you want to try and we'll discuss products & collections. I know this is an experience and an investment in yourself and finances do have a role in this too. But never fear, I know how it is and that's why the Boudie Bank is here for you.
step three: preplanning consultation
You fall in love with your images but your wallet might not be in love which kind of kills the mood. The Boudie Bank is pre-session payment plans to fit your lifestyle so when you come into your session, you have your products already selected and fully paid for so you can truly relax and enjoy the experience! Plus, there are exclusive BONUSES available for my Boudie Bank babes.
step four: boudie bank
The session date is here! You'll come into the gorgeous light-filled space we have for the day and get glammed up by our professional hair & makeup artist while you sip on a glass of bubbly. You'll get dressed (or undressed!) and we'll get started on creating absolute magic on camera. You feel like a goddess and you absolutely deserve it.
step five: session day
After your session, you'll head out to grab some lunch for an hour and when you arrive, your gorgeous images will be ready for viewing and when you see them on the screen, you are BLOWN AWAY. You'll select your favorite images for your products and collections that you pre-purchased (thanks Boudie Bank!) and head home feeling like a literal goddess.
step six: the big reveal!
In some weeks time, your luxury products will arrive at your front door and you'll be able to gift them to a surprised partner (or yourself!) to enjoy for years to come. Everytime you flip through your heirloom album, you'll admire yourself and know that this experience showed you truly how magical you are.
step seven: products arrive
Girrrrrrl. If you had your engagement session, I'm sure you felt that way before we had the session but now you're a modeling pro! I'll guide you through every pose, tell you where to put your hands and where to look at. It's a different kind of posing but I'm here to help you every step of the way.
06. i'm not a model, i don't know how to pose! is boudoir for me?
You get to see your images the same day! After your session and you select your favorites for your products, you'll receive your products in the mail in 4-6 weeks depending on the item. This is why I recommend scheduling your session 3 months before your wedding so we have plenty of time in case of shipping delays! ;)
05. how long until i get my photos?
The 60 minute boudoir session has time for 2 outfits. I suggest bringing 3-5 outfits with you so you have options in case you change your mind on anything the day of! And if we're making this bridal boudoir, I definitely 10000% recommend bringing in your veil, garter and wedding shoes! It'll be magical, I promise.
04. how many outfits do i get & do i need to supply them?
Yes of course! Payment plans are required so you aren't worrying about finances te day of your session since it's already been paid! You'll get 10% off any collection by doing the pre-session payment plan along with unlocking exclusive bonuses.
03. can i take advantage of a payment plan?
There is a minimum investment of $1200. Collections start at $1800 and products begin at $1200. Most boudoir clients spend $2500-4000 on their experience.
02. is there a minimum amount i have to spend?
Yes! You will have your hair and makeup done professionally by one of my incredibly talented makeup artists so you feel your absolute best. This is included in the session fee.
