INVESTMENT GUIDE

DARK MOON STUDIO

I’m Lisa, your photographer and empowerment guide

THIS IS AN INVESTMENT IN YOU!

Boudoir is a powerful way to tap into your inner goddess. It is so important to recognize that you hold the power within you to love yourself so fiercely that as a natural outcome you will begin to attract more love and empowerment into your life.

We live in a society that guides us into believing we are not enough, but I am here to help remind you that YOU ARE ENOUGH…exactly as you are right now!

I take pride in providing a safe and loving space to tap into and unleash all that goddess energy. I promise you will leave your session riding a total empowerment high that will last as long as you choose to nurture it. Your images will provide a tangible reminder that you are a strong, fierce and beautiful being!

Please know that it is very common to feel nervous about this experience. I will guide you gently through the whole process from booking to the delivery of your images and products. Unsure how to pose? No worries at all. I will also guide you through and demonstrate each pose along with facial direction so that you will receive a gallery full of images that you absolutely love and an experience that leaves you wanting to come back for more.

You deserve this opportunity and experience and you owe yourself the same love you freely give to others. I truly believe that boudoir has the power to change the world by allowing an opportunity to unapologetically love yourself and rediscover the power that has always lived within you. We are worthy, unique, beautiful, sexy and powerful beings and that deserves to be celebrated and embraced.

My boudoir sessions offer a safe space to tap into all of that through the art of photography.

your session day

when you arrive

The experience begins the moment you walk in the studio…well actually, we start the moment you book but the super fun part is when you arrive. You will be greeted at the door by myself and my hair and makeup artist. We will then take you to your private dressing room which houses our client closet. This is when we will look at your outfits and select what you will be wearing for your session.

lunch

After your session you will be riding an AMAZING high! You will also be HUNGRY and ready for a break because posing is work, my friend! At this time you will head out for a 90 minute lunch. During this time I will be selecting and lightly editing your gallery

hair + makeup

After we have chosen your looks and we have the color palette we are working with, we will get you settled in the glam chair. This is the time to relax, unwind and let us pamper you to the nines! You will also receive a lovely welcome beverage and a silk robe to wear.

ThE reveal

Ok, this is one of my FAVORITE parts of the experience…I love offering a same day reveal of your images. When you return form your break you’ll get to see your stunning gallery. We will look through all your images together and you will have a chance to see all the products in person.

The shoot

After hair and makeup, you will be feeling fabulous and will have had some time to acclimate to the studio. We will then move into the session. All sessions are fully guided and posed and your shoot time consists of up to 120 mins in front of the camera.

After your shoot

You will end your session day feeling amazing (okay maybe a tad sore) and looking amazing. That post session glow is a real thing, so if you can, make some fabulous plans for the night! You will be sent home with a sweet little swag bag and the next time I see you will be when you come to pick up your product!

MY SHOOT + EDITING STYLE

Art translates so differently for everyone. I consider my shoot style to be ‘fierce with deep, moody vibes.'‘ I put a very heavy emphasis on showcasing the empowered emotions that come out you during your session. I aim to capture images that spark feelings of confidence, badassery, sexiness, glam and feminine power. I am laid back and silly by nature, and I like to make sure my sessions have a comfortable and lighthearted feel.

As for my edits, I am that photographer who is all about hyping the beautiful human you are so I am not about to change you. I do not do any body altering. Instead, I work with good lighting and pro level posing that will flatter ALL bodies. I offer light skin smoothing and toning but your skin is still going to look like skin. If it is a part of you and we are going to embrace it! if it is temporary (ie. bruises, scratches, pimples) I will remove it.
