FAQs

 
 

The people on your website all look like models. I am not a model, so can I do this???

You can absolutely do this!!! We are here to guide you through every part of the experience. Most of the people in my portfolio are not models, they are just my regular clients. I offer 100% posing guidance through the whole session from head to toe. I will even get in the poses first to show you. And my hair and makeup team is so fabulous, so you will be looking your best!


As private as you want! I will never share your images without your permission. All the images in my portfolio are there because the client was excited to let me share them and signed a model release, which is completely optional.

How private will my pictures stay?


I offer a variety of beautiful fine art heirloom products including albums, print boxes, digital files, and wall art. Contact me for a detailed price list of my products and collections.

What do your packages include? How much should I expect to spend?

Whatever you feel amazing in! Once you've completed the booking process with me, we will have a phone consultation about your session, including what to wear. Most clients opt for some form of lingerie. A bra and panty set,  bodysuit, robe, stockings, a t-shirt and underwear, or nothing at all–whatever you opt for, it will look fabulous! In a 1.5 hour photo session, you will typically have time for 3-5 “looks” or outfits! Don't stress too much about wardrobe. I could spend an entire session shooting a client in just their birthday suit.

What should I wear? How many outfits can I bring?


I have hand-picked the most talented hair and makeup artists for my all-female team. They know how to create gorgeous looks that photograph like a dream and are amazing working with all skin tones and types of hair. Some clients do not want a "glam" look, but don't worry, if you want a very natural look, they know how to do that. 

Who will do my hair and makeup? Do I have to get it done? 


Can I bring someone with me? 

Yes! You are welcome to bring a friend, but no partners are allowed. If you bring someone, please note that they must not interrupt or distract from your session. No minors are allowed. This is a firm policy. 


No, my focus is more on showing people how beautiful and sexy they are than on the actual act of sex. If you are looking for an erotica session, that is fine, but I am not the right photographer for you. I do not photograph real or implied masturbation, penetration, or erections.

Do you shoot erotica?


How far in advance should I book my session?

After your image reveal and ordering session (which is either the same day or about a week after your session), your order will take 3-4 weeks to be delivered. So if you are planning a gift or something for a particular event, keep that in mind. Also, you will probably want to give yourself a few weeks before your session if you plan on shopping for your wardrobe, especially if you will shop online.


How risqué will my session be? 

This is completely up to you! You can be totally clothed the whole time, or totally nude, or somewhere in between. I will ask you what you want to do, but there's no pressure.


How much do you edit?

I do some retouching, including removing temporary blemishes and skin smoothing. But I do not believe in changing your natural body shape with editing. If you are concerned with things like cellulite, scars, or stretch marks, please let me know ahead of time if you would like me to lighten or remove them. I think they are all natural and beautiful, but I do understand if you don't want them in your images.


What is your refund policy?

Due to the custom nature of photography, the session price and any products ordered are non-refundable.


I'm ready to book! What next?

Great! Simply fill out the contact form or email me at hello@viragoboudoir.com. Once we pick a date, I'll send over a contract and retainer invoice to get started. 


Yes, couples sessions work very similarly to individual sessions, but we get to focus more on your relationship, which is beautiful!

Do you photograph couples?


Nope! Boudoir is for anyone, of any gender. We are LGBTQIA+ welcoming, and I believe in posing people based on their personality and not on any preconceived notions of boudoir posing.

Do you only photograph women?
