No. BIG NO. With the exception of being over the age of 19, a boudoir session is for EVERY woman! Age, size, shape, or any other category is not a factor in coming to the studio. You are worth it, JUST AS YOU ARE. This is a huge reason why having a shoot is important- getting past self-criticism and seeing yourself through eyes of love. The women on this site are just like you. They just took the step and we made incredible photos for them using the best posing and flattering light! Trust me!

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.

This is the best part!! 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. 

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 expected to have 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. 

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. In other words, we take your privacy very seriously.

Moral support from your BFF can be a huge thing, and plus, it's fun! You can always bring a 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. 

Images are hand retouched, removing things like acne and bruising, smoothing the skin, and taming wild hairs. You will see yourself in the best possible light! This is accomplished with posing specific to your body type and beautiful lighting. Rest assured and be confident in the fact that we are celebrating YOU, not a false version of you made in Photoshop. That's important.
