Frequently asked questions

I'M NERVOUS ABOUT THE SESSION. WHAT DO YOU DO TO CALM MY NERVES?

First of all, your feelings are completely valid. The consultation will help ease all of your concerns, give you lots of ideas of what to wear and how to prep for your session and answer any questions you might have. I'll hype you up, and you'll leave that call so excited for your session!

IS HAIR AND MAKEUP REQUIRED?

No, but adding it is part of the boudoir experience and will make you feel pampered and special!

WHEN DO YOU BOOK YOUR SESSIONS

Our boudoir sessions take place in our studio on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

HOW DO I PREP FOR MY SESSION AND WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

We will go into detail during your consultation call.

WHAT'S YOUR NORMAL TURNAROUND TIME?

Typically, we can have an album in your hand within 2-6 weeks of your session, depending on your chosen album.

MY WEDDING IS IN 3 WEEKS. DO WE HAVE TIME?

While we prefer not to rush a session, our turnaround time is also super fast if necessary.

DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?

All sales are final. Items cannot be returned or exchanged. You may add to your order at any time, but a sale is considered final at the time it is made.

WILL YOU SHARE MY IMAGES ONLINE?

We will only ever share images if you give us permission to do so. If you want your images to be completely private, that is 100% fine, and we will never share them.

HOW MUCH DO CLIENTS TYPICALLY SPEND?

Clients typically spend $1000-$2000 at their viewing. Some clients spend more, and some clients spend less. We offer in-house payment plans so that you can acquire everything you love from your session.

Photographer Christy Johnson

About the Artist

Hi! I'm Christy Johnson, a professional photographer located in Wake Forest, NC. I'm a wife & mom of two teenagers, bookworm, and recent pickleball addict.

 

I spent the last few years in a little cocoon, between the pandemic and a battle with leukemia. After losing my hair, gaining weight (and some new wrinkles), I didn't recognize the woman staring back at me in the mirror. I dove deep into self-compassion and acceptance, learning to love this strong, resilient body of mine, and growing my confidence and self-worth along the way.

 

But then, emerging from my cocoon back into the world, I felt invisible. Our culture places such little value on women "of a certain age", and yet here I am with more to offer than I ever have!

 

No matter the paths they've followed and the personal struggles they've faced, I've found so many women who relate to my experiences. You don't get to be our age without going through some things. We wear our battle scars proudly. And we deserve to not just be seen, but also valued. Celebrated.

 

I'm all about customizing a relaxed yet refined feminine portrait experience for you, crafting beautiful photographs that'll always bring you right back to this moment...a time when you pressed pause on all the noise and did something just for you.

 

Because you are beautiful. You're a work of art. You are Luminous.
