Why Boudoir?
The K&J Photoshoot Process
1
Before Your Session:
Consultation Call
Our goal is to make sure your boudoir photoshoot becomes an enjoyable, comfortable, and unforgettable experience.
We're here for you, and our attention is entirely focused on you. We'll start with a quick 15-minute phone call to understand your vision. When you're ready to proceed, we'll provide a guide for buying lingerie and a checklist for getting ready.

During Your Session:
The Photoshoot
When you arrive, we'll discuss the outfits you've chosen. You can relax in a cozy robe and enjoy a glass of champagne while our talented team takes care of your glam.
This is when we'll bond and share insights, exploring techniques to capture the most stunning pictures. We'll be there to help you with facial expressions and poses throughout the session.
And don't fret! You'll be having so much fun that you won't want the session to end.

After Your Session:
The Exciting Reveal
A few days after your photoshoot, we'll arrange a special reveal session via video call or in person.
This is undoubtedly the most thrilling part of the process. It's difficult to express the emotion you'll feel when you first see your final images; words can't quite capture it. I've witnessed numerous astonished expressions and even a few tears of joy.
During this session, you'll have the chance to select your favorite images and explore additional products you might want to order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here, we've compiled a list of FAQ and potential concerns you might have. We've taken the time to provide answers specifically tailored to you!
-
I'm excited, but nervous! What if I'm not sexy?Feeling nervous is completely normal, and you're not alone. Around 95% of our clients initially feel the same way. We understand and empathize with these feelings. Our team is here to make you comfortable, guiding you through the entire experience. From our skilled makeup artists to the studio setup, our aim is to bring out your sexy side naturally and authentically. The ladies you see in our gallery felt the same nervousness before their shoots – they're just everyday women like you.
-
Will you guide me on posing and what to do?Absolutely! You don't need any prior experience in posing or being sexy. We will be your coaches, directing every pose and movement. Your comfort is our priority, and we won't take a shot until you're in the perfect position. Trust us, you've got this – we've got you covered from head to toe. Celebrating your unique beauty is the highlight of our work.
-

We'll pose, light, and style you to flatter your figure authentically. Our goal is to showcase your beauty, not to change you into someone else. You don't need to worry about your appearance – leave that to us.
-
Should you bring your own outfits for a boudoir shoot?Yes, it's a good idea to bring a variety of outfits for your boudoir shoot. These outfits can range from lingerie and bridal pieces to personal items that make you feel comfortable and confident. Don't forget to pack shoes, stockings, and any accessories that complement your look. Additionally, consider bringing some essential items like your favorite lotion, deodorant, water, and light snacks to keep you feeling refreshed and energized during the session
-
How many outfits should I bring?The number of outfits depends on your chosen package's duration. Generally, one outfit per half-hour is a good guideline, ensuring we focus on capturing your best shots. For sessions over an hour, consider at least two outfits. You can also maximize variety with layering, implied nudity or partial nudity, and 'In the Sheets' concepts. Your comfort and preferences are our priority.
-
Will you assist me in selecting outfits?Absolutely! Upon booking, we provide a Lingerie Guide + Session Prep Checklist. We'll help you find the right fit and suggest affordable, stylish lingerie options. You can even seek our advice by sending pictures of potential outfits. Bring more options than you plan to wear, and we'll make the final decision together.
-
What not to wear to boudoir shoot?Ill-fitting lingerie: Avoid lingerie that doesn't fit well as it can create unflattering lines and discomfort. Worn-out or faded underwear: Choose lingerie that looks fresh and vibrant in photos. Overly busy patterns: Opt for simpler, solid colors or subtle patterns as busy prints can be distracting. Clothing with wrinkles or creases: Ensure your outfits are well-ironed to maintain a polished look. Items with logos or visible branding: Avoid clothing with visible logos or branding, as it can distract from the overall mood of the photos. Anything you're not comfortable in: Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable, as it will reflect in your photos. Mismatched sets: Try to coordinate your lingerie sets for a more polished appearance.
-
What colors work best for boudoir photography?When it comes to choosing colors for your boudoir photoshoot, I suggest sticking with softer shades like white, gray, black, light pink, blush pink, and light blue. These colors tend to flatter all skin tones and align perfectly with the soft and feminine style often seen in boudoir photography. On the other hand, it's a good idea to avoid bright, bold colors that might draw attention away from the real star of the show – you!
-
Do you cater to curvy women like me?Absolutely! Boudoir photography celebrates all women, regardless of size. Sexy is about confidence and attitude, not a specific body type. Our expertise lies in bringing out your unique allure and showcasing your beauty. We've worked with diverse shapes and sizes, and you'll leave feeling empowered and stunning.
-
How much time should I allocate for the entire experience?Plan for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours for makeup, hair styling (if applicable), getting dressed, and set preparation. Allocate around a half-hour per outfit. The approximate duration of your experience is provided in the package details when you make your booking.
-
When should I book for a special occasion?Booking ahead is wise, especially during busy times like wedding season. We recommend scheduling your session at least two months before your special occasion. This ensures ample time for proofs, orders, and product turnaround. Quality takes time, and we're committed to delivering an exceptional experience.
-
What are your boudoir session availability and times?Boudoir sessions are available Monday through Friday at 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Saturday appointments are also possible based on availability and are subject to a 15% upcharge.
-

We emphasize the value you receive with your investment, from makeup to posing expertise. Your comfort and confidence are paramount.
-
How should you get ready for a boudoir photoshoot?Preparing for Your Boudoir Session On the day of your boudoir session, follow these simple steps: Clean and Moisturize: Arrive with a clean face and moisturize your entire body for a fresh and radiant look. Choose Loose Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothing and undergarments to prevent marks or impressions on your skin. Eat Lightly: Enjoy a light meal that keeps you satisfied but not overly full or bloated. Be Punctual: Allow yourself plenty of time to arrive a few minutes early, so you can relax and get into the right mindset for your photoshoot. By following these easy steps, you'll feel confident and prepared for your boudoir session, ensuring the best possible experience and results.
-
Can I bring a friend to my session?While it's not a common request, bringing a friend is possible. Ensure they won't disrupt your comfort or focus during the shoot. Your friend can offer support and encouragement from a distance in the common areas. Let us know in advance if you plan to have a friend present.
-
