FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where are you located?

I’ve recently relocated to San Antonio, Texas. However, I am available to travel to your location as long as travel expenses and associated costs are covered and a few months notice given to ensure availability.


I have no idea how to prepare for a session. Can you help?

That’s what I’m here to do! From the time you book your session and the vision you want, I will send emails of what to bring and how to prep months in advance leading up to the day prior. All of your questions will be answered before you step foot into the studio.


Do you have a studio?

Technically Yes. I have converted two bedrooms in my home into a small studio. It is primarily setup for Boudoir and Fine Art Nude photography. The ultimate goal is to find a nice location to build a state of the art studio that fits our vision while simultaneously catering to our clientele. If you prefer to shoot out of your home or at select locations, that is feasible also. I can assist in beautiful location recommendations to help you find the perfect setting to compliment your vision!


Do you have a minimum age for PORTRAIT AND boudoir photography?

Yes. You MUST be at least 18 years of age to shoot Boudoir Photography with me. So although you may look AMAZING for your age, I must still verify your ID as proof.


Am I too old for a Session?

Not at all! There is no age limit to beauty. Only a new age record for my oldest client.  Let’s chat so we can setup a session and get you bragging rights.


Is it weird to do this for myself if I have no one to gift these to?

HELL NO! Boudoir sessions are so much more than simply a gift for someone else. Boudoir not only empowers the body but also the mind and soul. It’s an experience about self-love and embracing your body’s unique attributes.


How far in advance should I book?

2-4 months in advance is recommended to make sure you get the date you would like. Because I still have a full time job, I reserve Saturday evenings and Sundays to have sessions. As such, my calendar tends to fill very quickly. Last-minute session cancellations do occur occasionally, so it is definitely worth an ask!


How do I book my boudoir shoot?

Easy, just complete the form via my contact page here. Once email is received, I’ll have an idea of what experience your wanting and the timeline. I will then reach out to you so that we can start the planning process.


Can I pay by credit card?

Absolutely! Securely pay via PayPal with a credit card, debit card or bank transfer.


Do I have to be naked? I’m not sure I want to be photographed nude, but would still like a session with you.

No, you don’t have to be naked to have a session with me.


Individuality is what makes us unique. And while I tend to focus on the uniqueness of your body and believe “less is more”, I’d never expect you to do anything you’re not comfortable with. Having clothes on, or off, is at your discretion. Your level of comfort during your session is of the utmost importance to me. If at any time during you’re session you’re ready to take it to the next level, just say so! I’m here to make you look amazing, clothed or not! 


I’m not confident enough to do this. Are you sure I can?

Definitely! You are not alone in this misconception. Most clients are not overly confident and very nervous when they book a session; however, their results show the exact opposite. Many clients book a session because they want to be able to reignite that spark of confidence and return to the the lasting impression it leaves on the heart. My goal is to help you get it back!


Can I bring a friend?

Of course! Some of the best motivators we have are our friends. Confidence is easily cultivated when your BFF is cheering you on during the course of your session. The only requirement is they must be over 18 years of age and all electronic devices turned off for the duration of your session to prevent distractions. Your being comfortable while getting your sexy on is the primary focus!


Can I do my own hair and makeup

Absolutely! I currently do not offer hair and makeup so as of right now, it is preferred. 


Do I get to choose the images I want?

Yes!  Immediately following your shoot, you will view all photos taken from my camera. As you view the pictures, you will give the ones you like star (*) ratings. These are the ones that will be focused on for editing. Additionally, once images are edited, they will be sent via a password protected client gallery for you to view, choose your favorites, and purchase directly from our store.


What happens if I want more images?

Not a problem. Additional images can be purchased directly from the online store.


What’s your policy on body re-shaping?

Because all bodies are beautiful and unique, I refrain from any extensive re-shaping. I am simply not comfortable with altering what makes you beautiful. Trust the process and let me show you the natural beauty I see.


What’s your policy on body hair? 

There isn’t one. Your body, your choice. Whether you’re rocking a full bush or hairless from the head down, my camera does not discriminate.


Will you keep my images private? 

Due to the personal nature of my style of photography, I will not sell, license, or otherwise distribute your images or personal information to any third party without your express written permission. For more detailed guidance, please refer to my Privacy Page here.


Can I put my final images on my website? 

Yes of course! Please include a credit disclosure for Brown Lotus Photography or https://www.brownlotusphotography.com 


Can I put the images on my social media? 

Absolutely! However, please DO NOT apply filters over the images and make sure to include a credit disclosure for @brownlotusphotography. I’m on Facebook and Instagram.


Can I use the images for newspaper and magazine articles? 

Yes! Please make sure the publication includes a credit disclosure for Brown Lotus Photography to stay within copyright guidelines.


Can I sell the images? 

No you may not. Copyright remains with Brown Lotus Photography. Please DO NOT sell prints, create calendars, or sell usage rights to any third parties without written consent by me. Failure to comply WILL result in legal action being taken.
