THE LUMINOUS EXPERIENCE

ALL ABOUT YOUR LUMINOUS BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE

You’ve found your confidence again, and it’s time to celebrate.

Whether you've had a recent change in your life or you've been on a journey for years, you’ve arrived at a place where you want to embrace and honor the woman you’ve become. At Christy Johnson Photography , we understand that your beauty and confidence are worth capturing—and not just in a photo, but in an experience that’s all about you. I know that booking a boudoir session can feel like a big step. You might be thinking, "Am I really ready for this?" or "Is this for someone like me?" Let me assure you—it absolutely is.

 

It’s normal to feel nervous.
I often hear women express concerns about not being in the ‘right’ shape, the ‘right’ age, or that they need more confidence before stepping in front of the camera. But here’s the thing: boudoir photography isn’t about perfection—it’s about celebrating you, exactly as you are, in this moment. Every woman who walks through our doors has her own story, and it’s my passion to make sure that story shines.

 

This experience is for YOU.
Our photography studio is a safe, empowering space where you can express your beauty and individuality. I'm here to take care of you, to make sure you feel comfortable, cared for, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. From our first conversation to the final photo reveal, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

 

You don’t have to know how to pose.
Leave that to me! I specialize in helping women feel natural and confident in front of the camera, regardless of experience. I'll guide you from head to toe with poses and beautiful lighting that flatters your body, celebrating your unique beauty.

 

Privacy and respect are my top priorities.
I understand the deeply personal nature of boudoir photography, which is why your comfort, privacy, and trust are paramount. Your images are handled with the utmost care, and your experience remains completely confidential.

 

Why now? Because you deserve it.
You’ve already done the hard work of rediscovering your confidence, and now it’s time to honor it. Let me help you capture this empowering moment in a way that feels meaningful and personal. This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s a celebration of YOU.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I BOOK MY BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION?

Booking is simple, just start by filling out my contact form! We can have a quick phone call if you want, or let me know that you're ready to proceed, and I'll send you a link to my calendar! Once your photoshoot is reserved, we'll schedule your pre-shoot consultation call to discuss your vision for your photos!

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY BOUDOIR PHOTOSHOOT?

I recommend booking at least 4-8 weeks before you need your images. This allows plenty of time for your session, retouching, and product delivery. If you’re planning this as a gift for a special occasion, be sure to let me know so I can ensure everything is ready on time.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful! Lingerie is a popular choice, but you can also bring items that have personal significance. In my studio wardrobe, I have lots of beautiful dresses, robes/drapes, accessories and adornments that we can incorporate in your shoot as well, if you like! We'll talk about all the options during your pre-shoot consultation call and come up with a game plan.

IS HAIR & MAKEUP INCLUDED?

Yes! We offer professional hair and makeup as part of our boudoir experience. Our talented stylists will work with you to create a look that enhances your natural beauty, whether you prefer something soft and natural or bold and glamorous.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE?

In the days leading up to your shoot, it’s important to hydrate, moisturize, and get plenty of rest. If you're getting a manicure/pedicure or any beauty treatments, I recommend doing them a few days prior to avoid last-minute stress. On the day of your shoot, come with clean, dry hair and a fresh face. We’ll take care of the rest, including professional hair and makeup!

DO I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO POSE?

Not at all! It’s my job to guide you the whole way through. I’ll show you poses that flatter your body and highlight your best features. You just need to show up and trust the process—no experience necessary!

HOW MUCH DO CLIENTS TYPICALLY SPEND?

While every session is tailored to your needs, clients generally invest between $1800-3300 on their Luminous boudoir experience. This includes the session fee, hair & makeup, professional retouching, digital images, and custom albums or prints. I’ll go over all the pricing details during your consultation, so there are no surprises.

HOW DOES PAYMENT WORK?

A session reservation fee is required to secure your photoshoot. I offer flexible payment options, including all major credit/debit cards, Paypal Credit, and Affirm.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY PHOTOS?

Your Photo Reveal Order Appointment is held 1-2 weeks after your shoot. Digital images are delivered immediately upon order, and printed artwork is ready within 2-6 weeks of your order.

WILL YOU SHARE MY IMAGES ONLINE?

Your privacy is my priority. I never share images without your explicit written consent. I understand that boudoir photography is personal, and I’ll only showcase images if you’re comfortable with it. Your trust and confidentiality are important to me.

I’m nervous about how I’ll look. Will the photos still turn out beautifully?

Absolutely! I'm experienced in working with women of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I use flattering lighting, expert posing, and professional editing to ensure your images highlight your natural beauty. You’ll be amazed at how stunning the final results will be!

WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE?

Life happens, and that's ok! All clients are able to reschedule their photoshoot one time within the 90 days following the original shoot date.

Is there an age or size limit for boudoir photography?

Oh, heck no! Boudoir is for every woman, no matter her age, shape, or size. My goal is to make you feel empowered and beautiful, just as you are.
