WHAT THE SWANS
ARE SAYING
TRUE TESTIMONIALS
“I never thought I would do this ever in my life. I can’t even tell you how happy I am that I did. Tara’s studio is so comfortable and welcoming. It was the first time I had met her in person and I felt like we were old friends. The entire shoot was just so easy! Nothing at all how I thought it would be! I want to do it again for my birthday!”
“I went through a terrible divorce recently and I feel like I lost a year of my life and a little of myself as well. This was exactly what I needed to gain some appreciation back for myself, and my body. I am amazed at how well the pictures came out and also at the entire experience. It was beyond empowering for me and every woman on the fence should just do it! You won’t be sorry. ”
“I booked a session as a surprise for my husband. I was so concerned with getting great pictures I didn’t stop to think how much I would actualy enjoy the session. We had so many laughs and it felt so relaxed. Tara was so professional and my album is outstanding. My husband loves his gift so much!”
“I wanted pretty pictures of just me to celebrate my 50th birthday. I went to see Tara just wanting a few shots of my face. She made me feel so beautiful and convinced me that I could look like the woman on her website. I put my total trust in her and went with it. I can’t even believe my eyes when I look at my pictures. Having that big box of photos of just me is really a dream come true! I never expected to look like an actual model but Tara gave that to me. It was the best birthday gift I could have ever imagined.”
Frequently Asked Questions
F.A.Q's
"do I bring my own clothes? Do I need to wear lingerie?"
Yes, you bring your own clothes. No, you do not need to wear lingerie if you don't want too! We go over styling in depth in the Swan Session Prep Guide and discuss it when planning your session. Clients plan up to four outfits and must bring in everything they want to wear. "Implied nude" shots can be one look and can be achieved with sheets, blankets and pillows. If lingerie isn't your thing we will come up with the perfect look for you. Boudoir is not about woman in their underwear, it's about finding your most confident self and exuding that in your portraits. You can wear a tee shirt and make it just as amazing and confident as that little lace bodysuit from Victoria's Secret, and confidence is the sexiest thing you can wear!
"Is hair and makeup needed?"
I totally believe that something magic happens during the getting ready process. Most woman have never had their makeup professionally done so when they do a new confidence comes over them and keeps building so by the time the first outfit is on you are READY! When booking an Ultimate Swan Party or Black Swan Session, hair and make up services are provided at the studio for an additional cost. When booking a White Swan Session it is up to you to make arrangements for your own hair and makeup. It is your choice if you want to do it yourself or have your stylists do it prior to coming in.
"What if I don't know how to pose?"
Don't even worry! You will be coached through every single pose. It will feel like girlfriends at slumber party laughing, hanging out and taking pictures for fun! We are always told by clients after the session that it was way more relaxed,not even a little scary and that they didn't want the session to end!
"Am I too old? Should I lose weight? What if I am not photogenic?"
Forget any of these worries! Boudoir is for EVERY WOMAN! Every age, every size and even if you think you are not photogenic you have never had someone who speializes in female portraiture guide you through it every step of the way. Trust us, you can rock a boudoir session like a super model and you will come out empowered like never before!
Do my pictures need to be posted online?
Of course not! Now as artists, we love to share our work so if you sign a model release for any images to be shared in a blog, on social media or on our website we are very greatful but we totally understand if the images are personal and just for you. We respect your privacy and would never share any images without a signed model release. You can always share some and not all, or agree to them being in my private facebook group or website and not on my public facebook page etc. Whatever you are comfortable with, is what we will do! You don't have to decide until after you see all of the images at your ordering session.
We are always happy to answer any questions.
