Let’s talk about boudoir as an investment

Each of my client’s sessions are specifically tailored for them,

which means that your boudoir session day is YOURS. Your session fee includes

everything for your amazing day! From professional hair and makeup (including lashes!), to light snacks,

chocolates, and drinks…to access to my amazing client closet (over 200 pieces, sizes XXS through 5XL),

to your own custom session, complete with guidance every step of the way.

But most importantly: it includes a powerful experience leaving you feeling like the

badass, empowered woman that you truly are!

let's talk details

Quite frankly, money talk in our culture is hugely awkward. It shouldn't be, but it is. So, I am just going to lay it all out there.

Boudoir is a true investment. An investment in YOU. In your self care, your self worth, and so much more. It is not a quickie photo session, I take a great deal of time, planning, and heart and put it into you and your session.

Boudoir is a full experience. I am here for you, from the day that you decide to have a session, all the way to the day of your session, and beyond. I will be sure that my hair and makeup artists work with you to create the look that YOU want, and we will enjoy snacks and drinks, play some fantastic music that will get the juices flowing.

We will spend time together, getting you really pumped up and ready to rock your session! Do not be surprised if we do some self love exercises followed by dancing out the nerves to your favorite song!

Nude boudoir

the nitty gritty

Your session will be filled with fun, powerful, maybe emotional, and empowering experiences. But, in the end, it is going to be about the power of YOU, the power of yourself, and seeing yourself like I see you, the damn beautiful, strong, amazing creature that you are.

You may already know, but my client closet is HUGE and full of all kinds of fabulous pieces to wear. As for products, I am very careful to choose the best albums, wall art, and so much more, to complete your experience.

So, while I know it can be hard to invest in ourselves, we are worth it. Every damn bit of it.

Let’s get started: Your Session Fee $500*

Your session fee covers the day of your session...

The Session fee is for your custom photo session and books your dream session with Sindea (does not include images), and includes the following:

• Time and talent of the photographer.

• Wardrobe consultation.

• Choice of wardrobe from my Client Closet (sizes XS - 5XL).

• Professional step-by-step posing during your session.

• Professional retouching and editing of your beautiful images.

• Snacks, drinks

• Professional hair and makeup

• Lashes included!

~ All digital images and printed artwork are purchased separately, options are listed below.

*Full session fee is required upon booking. Session fee applies to sessions in either my Moreno Valley, CA studio or locations within 45 minutes of the studio.

*The session fee for NON Southern California sessions are as follows:

  • $650 within the continental US, OR

  • $500 when choosing one of my top 3 collections

  • $750 in Canada and Mexico, OR

  • $500 when choosing one of my top 2 collections

  • BOTH of these options are only $500 if 2 or more clients book in the same region within the same week (this is a great option when friends want to do a session as well!)

So, you have options, you know.

Within each luxury art collection, you will see a pre-set collection, or package. While these are the most popular options, within each one, we can adjust to meet your desires, wants, and needs!

For example, if you want a bigger album, but are not huge into wall art, we can swap out some of your wall art for a larger album!

Let’s talk about printed art.

While I DO offer digital only collections

(meaning, no printed artwork from your session),

I will be honest. I am a firm believer in the profound

effect that seeing yourself as artwork,

because you are, in print,

and touching the pages of your album,

or admiring your beautiful metal art prints,

it takes it up to a whole new level.

Boudoir at the beach in California, or in Mexico, even in Florida, makes for an amazing boudoir session. Getting in the water for boudoir is sexy, beautiful, and refreshing.

And now, let’s get the awkward stuff out of the way.

I know money talk can be uncomfortable, so I am just going to be straight up here. I get it. I know that this is a luxury, custom, boutique service. And I want you to get to enjoy it, and reap the benefits of it!

Sticker Shock. It happens. But…

No worries, I know that this experience is a luxury and an investment (in YOURSELF!) and because of that, I offer pre-session payment plans! Zero interest. You can split up the cost of any collections via my interest free in-house payment plan and make smaller monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly payments towards your purchase leading up to your shoot (usually 4-12 months). I also accept any combination of credit cards, cash, and payment plans*. Your art collection just has to be paid by 1 week before your session!

*Did you know that you can also pay for your session up front with the use of Klarna or Afterpay? PayPal also has great options for financing.

    Where to begin?! Sindea has been absolutely amazing, wonderful, and supportive to work with. She creates a fun and safe environment which makes you feel empowered and beautiful. I did this shoot for myself, and for my journey of self-love. I have hated taking pictures and looking at pictures of myself for so long, but I can't stop looking at the pictures of my session with Sindea! This shoot was one of the best decisions I have ever made not only because the luxury experience was so wonderful, but because the glamor, the vulnerability, the fun, and the confidence I gained was 1000% worth it! I am so grateful I did this experience!

    She seriously makes you feel like a supermodel and genuinely means it. So happy to have met her and have an amazing person like her in my life.

    Thank you thank you Sindea for being so down to earth and radiating positivity to women.

    Out of State Client

    I have had nothing but positive interactions with Sindea throughout the process. She is very detail oriented and shares all the info you need to know up front. She is flexible and listens well. On the day of the shoot she had everything arranged. She was open to my ideas, but had a wealth of ideas, as well. The makeup and hair were fabulous. I am not a makeup person, so I was a little unsure about how it would turn out but Sindea assured me it would photograph really well. And boy, was she right! I am blown away by how beautiful the photos are! I have never had so much fun at a photo shoot!

 FAQ


What Do I Wear?

It all depends on you! We will have a pre-session consultation where we discuss the look you wish to go for, outfit changes, hair and makeup, and what to wear. You can wear anything from nothing to being wrapped in sheets to lingerie to a slouchy sweater and panties to a sports jersey and cowboy boots. Maybe a cute t-shirt and boy shorts? Body chains and jewelry? The possibilities are endless! Want some help with ideas? Maybe thoughts on where to shop if you want to pick up a few new things? Let me know!

Is Hair And Makeup Included?

Absolutely! I offer professional hair and makeup services to help you achieve the look you want for your session, and in the process help you relax and feel taken care of. It is so nice to slow down and do something special for yourself! If you have specific questions about the look you want or concerns about your skin or hair, we can arrange a time to go over everything with your hair and makeup artist before your session.

How Long Is My Session?

Your customized session and day of YOU goes a little like this: you will spend about 3-4 hours total: with my hair and makeup, and then your session. After your session, you will head off to get some lunch*, and enjoy some much needed downtime (I know none of us get enough!). After a that, you will return for your image reveal and ordering session, where you will continue feeling amazing, as you see your beautiful images of YOU.

*For sessions not held in my Moreno Valley studio, you will have your ordering and reveal session at another date, either in my studio or via Zoom.

You Have A Client Closet?

Yes, indeed! It is so fun to offer this to all of my boudoir clients. I have bras, panties, bustiers, robes, shoes, wraps, gowns, body suits, body stockings, bootie shorts, and so much more. The size ranges from XS to 5XL and everything in between. Shoes, I currently have sizes 7 to 10. I also have a variety of jewelry and body chains, along with non-boudoir dresses and gowns and flower crowns, for those women who may want to add on something non-boudoir.

I Am So Nervous…

Everyone is! And this is to be expected, but I promise to help put you at ease and guide you through the entire process to achieve a fun, rewarding, and empowering experience. So often, I am told “But I do not look like the women in your photos…”. First, no, because you are uniquely, wonderfully YOU. Second, all women have this concern. My job is to help bring out your best self, and help you see how amazing you are, just like those around you see you. Lastly, for those who need or want to, a glass of wine or cup of tea can often calm the nerves. Bring your own or choose from what I have on hand!

What Products Do You Offer?

I have amazing, luxurious albums that everyone loves, with beautiful packaging to match. Metal wall art? Simply divine! Custom prints matted in a beautiful folio? Absolutely. Digital images of my session? Of course. And more!

You Have Angel Wings??? A Clawfoot Tub???

Yes! I had the angel wings custom made just for my clients. They are a beautiful, glorious deep gun metal color.

My clawfoot tub is a beautiful addition to the studio and your sessions. Everyone loves it! If you wish a ‘dry tub’ session, there are no additional fees.

Is there a fee for these amazing options? Yes and no. For those clients who choose my top three collections, the fee is waived!

To learn about the investment and add-ons, click here.

Should you choose a collection that is smaller, that is totally ok, there is just a small add-on fee for the wings or milkbath options.

Do You Share My Images?

Yes and no. In short, yes, but only with your permission. And no, absolutely not without your permission. I completely respect you and your right to privacy, and am always thankful for the clients who are comfortable with me sharing some of their images. When you book your session, you will fill out a questionnaire and will answer what you are comfortable sharing: all images, images that only show upper body, images that do not show your face, images that you choose, or none at all. Some women select that they are comfortable with only sharing images in my private, women only, VIP group. Questions about this? Please ask!

Do You Edit My Images?

A bit. I want to bring out the best in you during your session. This is done with helping you relax, find the best outfits and looks for you, and great lighting and angles. I have a pretty simple rule when it comes to editing: if it was not there two weeks ago, I will remove it. This may be acne, scratches, bruises, or those darn allergy under eyes… But, I will not edit your body. I am here to help you love yourself as you are right now.

Location And Details…

My primary studio is located in Moreno Valley, CA and has so many great options for looks, backgrounds, furniture, and is also where my client closet is stored. I also offer sessions in western Washington state 4 to 6 times per year. Yes, I also travel. For travel within CA, there will be a small fee for travel over 30 miles from my primary locations. I do travel all over, and have done sessions in Hawaii, Oregon, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida, so drop me a line if you are interested in me coming to you!
