Josh Hettinger Boudoir Photographer

Do you offer hair and makeup services before the shoot?

My packages include a professional, local stylist. Your hair and make-up are as important to me as they are to you, and my make-up artist/hair stylist will talk to you about a look that is exactly what you’re going for. We won’t start the shoot until you’re absolutely satisfied!

 

Do I provide my own lingerie for the shoot?

Please bring your own lingerie for the shoot. I will give you a suggested list of items to bring, but you should bring a wide variety of items so I can help you with a wardrobe consultation to ensure you’ve chosen the best outfits for the session.

 

Do you shoot in a studio or on-location? Is the location fee included?
I shoot on-location and studio. I want your photos to stand out with studio lighting, but also different locations provide a huge variety in looks. The location fee is included in your package price.

 

Will I feel comfortable with a male photographer?
I can assure you my highest professionalism during your shoot. I am proud to say that my clients have reviewed my shoots as easy, fun, comfortable and laid-back. Your comfort is a top priority.

 

I’m nervous about coming up with sexy poses. Will you help with that?

While you are certainly encouraged to get creative with your poses, I’ll show you a variety of sexy poses, so don’t worry too much in preparing your modeling. By the end of the shoot I promise you’ll feel like a top model! All of the women on my website are real clients, not professional models, so you can see exactly how I help “the girl next door” take charge of her sexuality.

 

Will my photos be on your website or social media?
I do not share any client images without written permission. I fully understand some clients have careers or commitments that keep them from being able to share images publically. I respect your privacy and will only share images if you’d like me to do so.

 

Can I bring a friend for support?

Definitely! Feel free to bring a friend to cheer you on.

 

Do you retouch the images?

Yes, retouching is included. After the session, I’ll show you a demo of what retouching is about. Basic retouching is included; things like cellulite, blemishes and skin smoothing. Extensive retouching, such as weight change, is an additional charge because of how much time it takes. If you have a specific retouching question please let me know beforehand and I’ll be happy to answer it for you.

 

How long does the session take?

The session takes about three hours. It may seem long, but time flies when you’re having fun!

 

Do you provide Champagne or alcohol to calm my nerves?

Unfortunately, I am not allowed to serve alcohol. State laws prohibit a business to serves alcohol without a license. However, you are welcome to bring alcohol with you, and we can even use it as a photo prop if you’d like!
