COMMON QUESTIONS
Q: What do I wear?
A: Wear anything that makes you feel empowered. I've had folks feel best in lingerie, undies and a tee, a partner’s shirt/clothes, in their birthday suit, etc. Really, anything goes! Bring options, we will have time to shoot 2 or 3 different looks (if you’d like I can help you choose)! Feel free to bring props if that’s what you're into! There will be private space to change and a full length mirror. On a practical note - leading up to the photoshoot, try to avoid clothes that will leave marks on your skin (like tight socks).
Q: Should I wear make up? Get a perm?
A: Do you normally wear make up? Do you feel like a badass with some lush fake lashes? Wear ‘em! Do you tend to go all natural? Great! Curly? Straight? Big? Small? It’s up to you! Same with body hair, if ya got it, flaunt it. My only request is that when you arrive you are ready to go, so make sure you've applied, primped, and moisturized beforehand. Touch ups throughout the session are totally fine, of course, but we have limited time and I want to make the most of it!
Q: How do I pose? What do I do with my hands?
A: Don't you worry about a thing. This is my job and something we can have fun with. Some folks research what boudoir photos look like to get ideas of shapes - if that sounds interesting, do it! Pay attention to what you like and what you don’t like. Many of the boudoir photos you will find online demonstrate a very limited lens of what is sexy. No thank you. We will find shapes that feel empowering and sexy to you. What I DO recommend is that you start paying attention to when you feel empowered in your body. Maybe it would be fun to pose in the mirror? Practice shapes with your partner(s)? Film yourself and watch your sexiness!
Q: When will I get to see my photos and what can I do with them?
General turnaround time is 4-6 weeks, I am neurodivergent and appreciate your patience. If you need them sooner just let me know! Once your images are ready I will contact you to arrange a good time for you to receive them. Seeing the images for the first time is sometimes vulnerable, so we will make sure there is an aftercare plan in place. You can post them, share them with your loves, use them on your Christmas card, etc. I do ask that you give photo credit, especially when posting on social media. (@juliabcanfield) Also, please do not put filters on the images or change their color / size.
Q: What are your COVID protocols?
For now, I am only working with vaccinated folks. I will take a rapid test before our photoshoot, if you would like to take one I have extras - please don’t hesitate to ask. If I have a positive exposure before our session I will inform you and work to reschedule as soon as possible. I ask that you are transparent with your health and let me know if you have had a positive exposure or are symptomatic.
Matters of the Heart
Below is a survey, please fill it out to your comfort level. It is my intention to hold the most informed and sacred space with you, to provide a fun and empowering experience, and to hold you in your vulnerability with grace, joy, and laughter.
A final note
Trauma has been a large part of my history. The reclamation of self, sexual vitality, and joy has been crucial in my healing process. I am honored to walk this path with you and cannot wait to photograph you in all your tender beauty.
I will send a survey after our session - your feedback is valued and greatly appreciated.
