+ How much does it cost?

Our luxury boudoir experience typically requires a $895 session fee, but for Boudie Calls, we waive that fee in exchange for permission to feature your images and behind the scenes moments in our portfolio.

What’s Included:

• Pre-shoot Consultation to plan your personalized session
• Wardrobe Styling Assistance and access to our exclusive Marilyn Monroe White Sheets Set and Diamond Wig Burlesque Set
• Professional Hair and Makeup
• 3-hour guided photoshoot with expert posing direction
• ** Professional Retouching** of your final images
• Private Image Reveal and Ordering Session

To book your Boudie Call, a $250 retainer is required. This secures your session date and will be credited toward your final order.

Please note: All images and products are sold separately. Our custom, timeless artwork packages start at $2500, with options to suit your unique preferences. We also offer interest-free payment plans to make your dream session as accessible as it is unforgettable.

+ Is Hair & Makeup Included?

Absolutely! We have an incredible artist who stays throughout the 3 hour shoot for touch ups or look changes. This is one of the reasons we require a $250 retainer to secure your date. We have to reserve our hair & makeup artist's time for your shoot.

+ Why do you offer Boudie Calls?

I only showcase real women -- not experienced models-- in my portfolio. Boudie Calls allow me to update my portfolio and social media content while offering real clients a discounted photoshoot opportunity. It's a win win!

+ Will my images be private?

Th point of the boudie call is to be able to use these images and behind the scenes moments in my portfolio and marketing, and in exchange you receive a discount. That said, your comfort is my TOP priority. You see your images first and your images will NEVER be shared anywhere or used in marketing without your approval with a signed Model Release. If you want to keep your images private, they will be kept 100% private. Your privacy is extremely important to me, and I will always ensure you’re 100% comfortable!

+ I'm definitely going to want an album and likely some wall art, so I am wondering if you have payment plans or a pre-pay discount?

Absolutely!

Pre-pay discounts are for those who know they are definitely going to want an album and want to pay for it in full ahead of the shoot date. If you want to do this we can give you a 5% discount.

We do offer payment plans for those who wish to upgrade to an album but appreciate the flexibility of paying in installments. Payment plans are done via a monthly auto pay and typically need to be paid off within 6 months of ordering the album. We can discuss more details on the phone if you want to go this route. My goal is always to be fair and flexible because I want you to get all the images you desire.

+ Where does the shoot take place?

At our private studio in downtown Santa Barbara CA.

+ What days do you have available for this shoot?

We shoot Mondays - Fridays typically with at 10:00am start and wrapping by 1:00pm. Availability is first come, first served and based on both Ashleigh's schedule and our hair & makeup artist's schedule.

Weekend shoot availability is extremely limited but sometimes can be arranged. Please inqure.

+ What will I wear?

We will coach you on what to wear. You can wear up to 5 different outfits in your photoshoot. I ask clients send me some inspiration images (ideally from my own portfolio, but these can be from instagram or pinterest too). Then on our styling consultation we can further flesh out the ideas of what you should wear. Most clients will be photographed in a mix of wardrobe they bring and my studio wardrobe. At the end of the day, I want to photograph you based on YOUR UNIQUE VISION. Each shoot really is tailored to each client's taste and preferences.

+ Tell me about the studio wardrobe you have available?

One thing that makes my studio unique is the collection of couture gowns, robes, wings & accessories I have curated and make available to clients. Although the gowns and pieces in my collection could easily be rented for hundreds of dollars a piece, I let my clients use them at the shoot at no additional cost.

Some particularly popular items include my Ostrich Feather Victoria's Secret Inspired Angel Wings, my signature Cristian Siriano inspired red tulle gown, my ruffle tulle dressing robes (that can become gowns, maternity gowns, or even robes over lingerie). I have a wide variety of pieces and accessories such as body chains, pearl necklaces, flower crowns etc.

If you loved playing dress up as a kid, my studio is likely your dream come true.

+ Tell me about you. What makes working with you unique?

I absolutely love being a portrait photographer because I love watching the transformations that happen in my studio. Most clients walk in a bit shy and nervous but by the end of the shoot are strutting around my studio like a confident queen. And that's just the beginning! Once they see the final images there's everything from happy giggles to tears of joy to smiles of pride. It means the world to me to create an experience and collection of images that mean so much to my clients and leave them feeling gorgeous and radiant.

I have been tremendously blessed to have been doing this work for the last 15 years, and to have had my studio in Santa Barbara for 11 years. I have worked with hundreds of women in this span of time and really have learned how to make every woman look and feel fabulous in photos.

It would be my honor to photograph you!

+ I'm not photogenic though! Is that ok?

Whoa, stop right there beauty! I simply don't believe in "photogenic." It's my job as the photographer to make you look and feel amazing! And lucky for you I am a trained master at making women of all ages, shapes and sizes look amazing in photographs.

+ I have no idea how to pose either!

I absolutely do not expect you to pose yourself! You've likely never had a photoshoot like this before, but I do this every day :) That is why I will guide and direct you through all the poses and come up with the ideas. I will take care of you and make sure you feel confident in posing for the camera.

+ Can I get the digitals?

All of our album packages include the digital files of your selected images at no additional cost. While you’re welcome to choose digital files only, the package price remains the same. The value of your images isn’t just in the prints—it’s in the artistry, expertise, and the unforgettable luxury experience we provide.

+ Tell me about the products you offer?

Our best selling product are albums. Our clients love their storytelling element and privacy they offer. We also offer Folio Boxes, which hold 5x7 matted prints. Wall art pieces are available in a variety of sizes.

+ Will you retouch my images?

Yes, your final images will be beautifully retouched. We don't believe in changing who you are, just enhancing your natural beauty. We are also happy to adjust the amount of retouching to your liking as some clients want a stronger airbrush look while others would like to look very natural with minimal to no retouching. We will discuss all options to get the images you desire.

+ When do I pay the $250 retainer?

We will have an introduction call to go over the details and find the perfect date for your shoot. At that time the $250 retainer is due to hold your shoot date with a signed agreement.
