houseApril Siefring Feb 28, 2025

1. Introduction:

  • My name is April & I am a creative at heart. I specialize in empowering women through Boudoir Photography. It truly is my passion. I've been shooting photography for 7 years & Boudoir for 5 years! I am all about body positivity and empowering women! I'm all about celebrating your body & helping you feel confident & empowered in your own skin. No matter your shape, size, or background, my goal is to make you see you as the stunning human you are! I will be your hype girl!

  • This post will walk you through the entire boudoir experience to help you feel more comfortable from how to book, what to wear, what happens the day of, etc.

2. Booking Your Session

  • To inquire or book a session, you will fill out the contact form on my website and I will reach out to you within 24-48 hours via email for a pre-session consultation where we will discuss what you are looking to do for your shoot and the vibe you're going for etc. Once you pick a date, I will send you the contract and model release to sign and then I will collect payment the initial deposit and you may get on a pre-session payment plan, pay in full or pay in full using PayPal credit or Affirm.

3. Preparing for the Shoot

  • Once all that is complete, I will send you an email with the prep and style guides to help you better prepare for your session. You can also find all of that information in the Boudoir Prep Tab on my website as well.

  • This is also when you will figure out what it is you want to wear for your session. Need ideas? Look at the top of the Boudoir Prep page of the website for some inspiration and let me know what you're thinking! Bring a few outfits to your session!

  • You can email me questions or concerns as often as you need to leading up to your session to make sure you are well prepared and remember that boudoir is for EVERY BODY!!

4. The Day of the Session

  • You will arrive at the time we booked (usually 10AM). You will get into your first outfit and we will start shooting (We don't offer HMU at this time) and after the first 20-30 Minutes you won't be so nervous because music will be playing and you will be laughing at me dancing like a fool behind the camera to make you laugh and make you enjoy yourself! Depending on the experience you book, we will shoot for between 1-2.5 hours. The whole process/day can take up to 5 hours total.

  • I have a hype music playlist that I play during all sessions to help you relax and feel good.

  • You don't need to know how to pose. I will pose you from head to toe and show you facial expressions when needed.

5. After the Session/ Same-Day Image Reveal Session

  • When we are done with the shoot, I will send you out to lunch for 1.5 hours or home or do whatever it is you want to do for an hour and a half while I edit your images. Then you will come back after that time frame and see all of your images for the first time and if you booked a session with an album or metal prints, you will get the opportunity to decide which images you would like to go in the album and which you want printed.

  • Once you leave, I will then order your products that we just decided on and they will be drop shipped directly to your home.

By the end of the day, you are going to feel so beautiful and empowered by this experience, you may even want to come back for another one! You wouldn't be the first. I can't wait to help make this experience for you one you won't forget. I encourage you to book a session or inquire if you have other questions that need answers!!
