Frequently askedQUESTIONS.

Everything we get asked, before you've even asked it.

Before you book

Will my photos stay private?

Completely, if that's what you want. After you book, we send you a quick questionnaire asking exactly how private you'd like things kept. We only ever share images we have your written, signed permission to use. Most of our clients keep their photos entirely to themselves, and that's the default we work from unless you tell us otherwise.

I'm nervous about being photographed by a man.

This comes up for a lot of women before they call us, and it's completely understandable. What I can tell you is that I came into this work terrified of making anyone feel uncomfortable, and that's exactly why I take comfort seriously. Beck is in the room with you for the whole session too, doing your hair and makeup and keeping you company before we've even picked up a camera. By the time you're in front of the lens, you're not in a room with a stranger anymore. If you'd rather talk it through before booking, give us a call. It's never once stopped someone from having a great session once they've spoken to us.

I'm not a model. I don't know how to pose.

Good, because we're not expecting you to. Every single pose, every angle, every little adjustment, that's Jake's job, not yours. Nobody walks in knowing how to do this. You just have to show up and follow along. That's genuinely all it takes.

I don't feel photogenic. Is this even for me?

Nobody who's booked with us felt photogenic walking in. Not one. What we hear every single time at the reveal is some version of "I can't believe that's me." You don't need to feel confident to do this. You just need to be willing to find out what's possible.

This is outside my budget right now.

We offer payment plans so you're not paying everything upfront, roughly half our clients use one. Collections start from $899, and it's also worth joining our email list, we occasionally run offers and mini sessions worth keeping an eye out for.

On the day

Do I have to get fully undressed?

Not unless you want to. This is entirely about how you want to see yourself, and what you wear (or don't) is always your call. We'll guide you toward what works for the kind of photos you're after, but nothing happens that you haven't said yes to.

How do you make sure I'm comfortable on the day?

We start well before you arrive, your questionnaire tells us your boundaries, your nerves, what you're comfortable with and what you're not. Then on the day, Beck and I are checking in with you constantly, not just once at the start. If something doesn't feel right, we adjust. That's not an afterthought, it's how every session runs.

Can I bring a friend for support?

Most sessions work best with just you, Beck, and me, it's where the trust and energy of the day really comes from. That said, we've had a handful of clients bring a friend along and it's actually turned into such a fun time, a lot of the time I hand them a camera and teach them how to do it themselves. If you think having someone there would genuinely help rather than add pressure, mention it on your call and we can talk through whether it's the right fit for your day.

Where is the studio?

Level 2, 101 Little Malop Street, Geelong, upstairs from the café and wine bar strip, five minutes from the main beach, and right across from Westfield. Clients are always surprised how private and hidden it feels once you're up there, despite being in the middle of everything.

When do I see my images?

Your full edited gallery is ready as early as the next day, often within 12 hours of your session wrapping up. You'll sit down with Jake and see everything together at your chosen time, no waiting, no wondering.

Policies and logistics

I'm under 18. Can I still book?

No, we don't photograph anyone under 18 for boudoir, no exceptions. It's against the law, full stop. If you're after a confidence boost and you're under 18, we're happy to chat about a clothed portrait session instead.

What's your cancellation and rescheduling policy?

If you cancel four or more weeks before your session, you'll receive a full refund. Inside four weeks, the session fee isn't refundable. You're entitled to one free reschedule with at least 24 hours notice, or in a genuine emergency. After that, the session fee becomes non-refundable. You're always welcome to swap collections, any payments beyond the session fee simply carry across to your new choice.

Do you offer couples sessions?

We do, for past clients looking to come back and make it a shared experience. If that's something you're interested in, mention it on a call and we'll talk you through it. We're not able to accommodate spicy or intimate couples content, sessions outside the studio, or male boudoir sessions.

Do you travel for sessions?

We have in the past, and we're open to it again. Travel fees apply depending on location. Best to give us a call and we can talk through what that'd look like for you.

How much does it cost?

Collections start at $899 and our average client spends between $3,000 and $4,000 on the day. Reach out and we'll walk you through full pricing properly before you ever set foot in the studio, no hidden costs, no surprises at the reveal.
