Yes! Sessions take place in the private studio of Wendy Wilson Photography in Daphne, AL. The historic, two-story space is located on the secluded grounds and private property of Malbis Plantation and offers beautiful natural light and hardwood floors. With a dedicated Boudoir bedroom, changing room with full studio wardrobe, and even outdoor options, you will have your dream shoot!

Most women do bring options for outfits, or have fun and go shopping for the occasion! However, you are welcome to come empty-handed and use any of the items in the studio wardrobe. During your session consult, we go into detail about options for outfits, depending on the look and feel you want to achieve. Lingerie sets are always classic, but you will have plenty of direction on how to include variety into your session and know exactly what to bring along.

The session fee is currently $295. This includes your photo shoot with Wendy, professional makeup artist and one look (with or without false lashes), use of the private studio and wardrobe, retouching of your images, and your studio reveal appointment with Wendy to see your finished images and make selections for your album. Album Collections are available starting at $550. All images you purchase in your album are also given to you in DIGITAL format so you get BOTH print and digital! The average collection purchase is $1650. You are never under any obligation to make a purchase. You only order what you love. 

This is the best part!! About a week or two after your session, you will come back to the studio for your photo viewing appointment with Wendy. This is when you will see all of your edited images and make selections. The problem is that you will be presented with a gorgeous portfolio of photos and will want them all! This is why meeting in person is super helpful in the process. So many amazing photos can be a tad overwhelming. Wendy will go through the entire gallery with you several times and help you make decisions that work for you. For security (and the overwhelm factor mentioned), photos are not loaded online for ordering. 

As a studio policy, Wendy only photographs implied nudity. This means no images of private areas. Celebrating the female form in all of its shape and form is part of boudoir and can make incredibly beautiful, artful images. However, you are never, ever expected to have fully nude photos made. If you warm up to the idea during your session, you can tag on a few at the end. Or you can come in for a fully implied nude session. It is 100% always your choice, your decision, and your comfort zone that will be respected at all times. 

Sessions take place on weekdays, depending on availability. There is the occasional option for a Saturday, but it's rare.  

Privacy is of extreme importance to Wendy. This is why you do not see a huge selection of portfolio images online on this site or on social media, even though she has been shooting the genre for 10+ years. Why? Because Boudoir is an intimate experience and the philosophy here is that it really isn't something for the whole wide world to see. Anytime you give explicit permission to share your images, it's AMAZING and can help give others the courage to do it for themselves, too! After your session, you will be given the option to say Yes, No, or Yes with caveats to sharing your images. And we take it very, very seriously to make sure you are comfortable with the level of exposure. 

Moral support from your BFF can be a huge thing, and plus, it's fun! You can always bring ONE friend to your session, provided that they are positive, encouraging, and do not interfere with the shoot or posing. This is Wendy's job, and she's got your back on what looks best and where your hair should go and what to do with your hands. Hard and fast rule is: No MEN. Sorry, fellas. 

Short answer, yes. Your images will undergo a full retouch which includes removing any temporary things like acne or bruising. However, this does NOT mean changing you to look like someone else. That's just not what we're going for here. You will certainly see yourself in the best possible light, and this is always accomplished with posing specific to your body type and beautiful lighting. You will get magazine model treatment in things like smoothing the skin, taming wild hairs, stylized editing, and sometimes a little adjustment when the camera lens causes distortion. But rest assured and be confident in the fact that we are celebrating YOU, not a photoshopped false version of you. That's important.
