Boudoir by Veronica

F.A.Qs

frequently asked questions about boudoir photography answered by Veronica Campbell Maryland's Top Boudoir Photographer


I KNOW you have questions, girl. Let me help you answer them. Here are the top 10 FAQ’s I’ve received over the years.

1. What is boudoir?

Boudoir by Veronica defines boudoir as intimate portrait photography and a self love experience. I want you to fall in love with yourself in a new way. I am going to show you the beauty in you that has always been there; but I will take your hand and support you the entire way as I walk you through exploring finding a new comfort zone.

2. Will you help me with posing?

100% YES! Put your trust in me, babe. I have photographed over 900 everyday women in my career as a boudoir photographer. Every woman you see on my website is an everyday beautiful woman, just like you. All you need to do is follow my lead, mimic my movements, and be able to take simple instruction. I will coach and pose your body AND your facial expressions.

3. Do you offer hair and makeup?

Hell-to-the-yes! No boudoir session can be complete without it. You will have your hair and makeup done here in our studio as part of your experience with us. I vet and interview the top makeup artists in my area to ensure our clients look their very best on camera. Want a classic, natural look? We can do that. Want that Kim K snatched jaw? We can do that too.

4. What should I wear?

Once you officially become a client you get access to the Client Portal which will house all of the prep guides on how and where to shop for lingerie. I’ve broken down what all of the style are and how they relate to your body type and your level of comfort. You’ll then get my curated list of absolute favorite lingerie retailers that you can trust to shop with. The budget you allocate to your wardrobe is entirely up to you. Some of our clients spend less than $100 on their pieces, and some have been known to spend $600+ on the ultra dreamy luxury brands. You’ll also have access to borrow from our Client Closet to add body jewelry and luxurious robes to your outfits!

5. Do I need to lose weight before having a session?

Absolutely not. I love celebrating with my clients when they achieve their goals, and if weight loss happens to be one of them, I will never invalidate your desire to be the healthiest version of you. However, you do not need to lose a single pound to celebrate yourself as a beautiful woman. We are often conditioned to believe that our worth is tied to our physical beauty. At Boudoir by Veronica I flip it and reverse it. Our physical beauty radiates from our inner beauty and confidence. Don’t rob yourself of self empowerment over what the scale says–you are already worthy of this experience. That cycle ends now. I’m here to encourage you to love yourself at this very moment. Our future selves will thank us for it.

6. When should I book my session?

Although we do take session sooner, I recommend at least two months out; this will give you plenty of time prepare without feeling rushed to find the perfect outfits. The calendar books up quickly though especially during the holiday season starting in August and wrapping up in March. Turn around for printed products is 6 weeks, so make sure to plan ahead. Or stay on our email list to try and snag any last minute openings!

7. What is the Image Reveal?

After your session I’ll schedule you for an online Image Reveal within 1 to 3 days after your session date. Whether you’re purchasing an album, a wall art installation, or other display pieces, I love the process of making the artwork come to life in tangible products for you to cherish for a lifetime. I will be your personal hype woman and concierge to help you choose your absolute favorite images of yourself.

8. Can I bring a friend?

Yes and no. If you feel you would like to bring a guest or a chaperone, they may be in the studio during hair and makeup. I’ll ask them to leave the studio for the duration of your shoot. Anyone not included in purchasing decisions in not allowed to be present during the viewing.

9. Will you be posting my images on social media?

This decision is entirely up to you. I have many clients who chose to remain private, while some clients opt for an “anonymous only” release where I can share only the images that don’t show their face or any distinguishing marks, others don’t mind at all and see it as their public declaration of self-love an encouragement for other women. Whether the decision to remain private is personal or professional, I hold client privacy of the highest importance and support any decision you make that you feel is right for you.

10. Do you offer payment plans?

Absolutely! I understand that for some of our clients, working with me and my tea, is an investment they need to carefully consider. While some of my clients swipe a credit card with ease, others need more time to arrange their finances. Our incentive program, the Pre-Session Payment Plan, was designed with the babe in mind who would benefit from booking up to 8 months out to take advantage of making smaller installment payments on a desired collection. When their session date finally arrives, they’ll have their collection paid up in full.

For clients who want financing options without the long wait for their session, I utilize a 3rd party financing company called Affirm who will issue you a virtual credit card to shop directly with our company. I also take all major credit cards (many clients will sign up for one with points or special zero interest financing), as Ill as PayPal credit.

I knew that Veronica was the photographer for me when I took a scroll through her website and I could actually FEEL the energy from all the images and I knew that she meant every word written on it.  And on my session day, everything that I thought had been confirmed.  I'll be 50 this year and after having 6 children, it was time to celebrate this body and embrace all the sensuality it offers. Thank you for helping me fall in love with myself all over again.

Marissa

I had so much fun during my shoot and intially I had booked a shoot to surprise my husband-to-be but I felt like such a bad ass during that shoot, I left feeling sexier than ever and when I saw my photos, my jaw dropped. I could NOT even take myself seriously (in the best way). I can't stop looking at my photos! Thank you, Veronica!

I can't stop looking at my photos!

Taylor

This was my second shoot but the first in her new studio. Veronica has done it again! I got to work with her on my birthday this time around and had another great experience. I felt so comfortable with her and completely trusted her vision. I love the new space (especially the exposed brick) and can’t wait for the next one!

Veronica has done it again!

Stacey

This is something I have always wanted to do but never got around to it. I'm 52 now. I wanted to celebrate where I am in my life. I have been single for the last 5 years and for this first time, I have become truly comfortable with my body and all of my curves. I decided this is the perfect time in my life for this photo shoot.

Tamara

I had a session with Veronica before and this time, it was a surprise booked by my husband for my 39th birthday. I'd been telling him for MONTHS I wanted to do a shoot before I hit the BIG FORTY because I was feeling anxious about it. Veronica and her team made me feel super sexy and confident. The day the pictures were delivered, you couldn't tell me NOTHING! This was such a powerful and moving experience and I can't wait to do it again and again!"

This was such a powerful and moving experience. I can't wait to do it again and again!

Lindsey

I had the best time during my shoot and I felt sexy and daring when I left. I was feeling a little down leading up to my shoot wondering if I could pull this off and not be awkward. I thought about cancelling a few times because my anxiety was getting the best of me. After talking with you about it, you calmed my fears and I'm so glad for your talking me off the ledge. Your guidance through the shoot made all the difference in the world and my album is so stunning! I still can't believe it's me. Thank you, Veronica!
