3 Questions to Ask Yourself When Looking for a Boudoir Photographer in Pittsburgh, PA

Am I absolutely blown away with their work and their style?

• I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Photographers are their style. When you see a photographer’s similar style over and over again. That is what you're going to get. So if you like really light and airy images, with no depth or shadow, don’t hire a photographer, whose work has more mood and attitude to it. Hire what you want to get.

  Do they seem like they would make me feel comfortable and relaxed?

• I will not photograph a client without talking to them on the phone first. The reason is simple, I want to get a vibe for this potential client and they want to get a vibe for me. Boudoir photographer is very personal and intimate, because of this, you want to feel safe, comfortable and trusting of the person who is photographing you. This way you can relax and create better images. Another thing I do to ease my clients into their session and help them relax - hair, makeup, good music and a little bubbly.

• Do they offer elite hair and makeup services?

  • I offer hair and makeup services for every boudoir shoot that I do. This is your day, this a day for beauty and to feel beautiful, why would we hold back.? Also just on a more practical level, every person photographs better with hair and makeup, whether you are Beyonce or you are my great grandmother in a retirement home. The camera photographs subjects better that have good hair and makeup period.

Best,
