Do you provide airbrushing and photo re-touching?

Does a bear crap in the woods? Stephina airbrushing includes small tattoo removal, light stretch mark removal (extra charges will incur if excessive), waist synching, acne removal, scar removal, freckle reduction and minor breast/hip/booty adjustments. Using digital technology we can manipulate your photos any way you need them, leaving perfect magazine quality photographs. Tan lines, braces removal, and other time consuming processes, will incur an additional fee. We don't change who you are, we make WHO YOU ARE flawless. Professional photo finishing is included with all sessions.

​​

I'm visiting from out of town, how will I view and get my pictures?

If you are able to shoot and view during your vacation - better. However, not everyone can do this! We will show you all of the package options while you are here so that you can decide the type you want to do. We will then put your photos online in a private, password protected gallery for you to view. You will then email us with your selections and we will mail them to you.

This is something I've never done before and I'm really nervous!

Who wouldn't be nervous?! We love helping women feel empowered by taking their inner and outer beauty and putting it into beautiful still images that their loved one will fall in love with.  We do many boudoir sessions for women all over San Diego and pride ourselves in making our clients feel great about themselves and making the experience the most comfortable possible! For many women, this is a first time thing and it can be very nerve wracking and scary. We've both done these types of shoots personally and we cannot tell you enough how empowering and beautiful you feel afterwards.

 

​

 How sexy does the photo session get and do I have to pose nude?

 

Your session is always under your control - YOU decide what YOU want to do!  We will never tell you to take anything off or show anything out of respect and we want you to be comfortable and just be YOU! You can shoot fully clothed, topless or fully nude.

 ​

What about makeup?

Photographic make-up can look very drastic, but you have to remember that only HALF will actually show in the photos because of the lights, we want the make-up to be fresh and sleek, not caked on. We work with very talented makeup artist who will make you look as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside.  You can add makeup to your session if it does not come with it for $80. Please arrive with  clean moisturized skin.  Makeup can take anywhere from 30-45 minutes.  If you prefer to do you own makeup, unfortunately it will not be discounted if it's in a package, however we're ok with it as long as you follow some guidelines. Please bring all the cosmetics you used with you & put it on heavier than usual.  You MUST use foundation - powder will not be enough. Also please match your face to your body - a totally different color head on a body is just weird looking AND will incur additional costs for editing.

​

How should I wear my hair?

Your hair should be styled in a way that would normally do it for an evening out. It is best to look like YOU! If you need some help making the best "You" come out, we provide hair styling services for a reasonable fee of $80.00.  Please arrive with clean hair but washed the day before not da of! We can do big fluffy hair, super sleek flat ironed styles, spiral curls, pin-up retro styles - our awesome stylist are the best in class!

​

Do I bring my own lingerie and what kinds of item do you provide?

We do not provide lingerie or clothing, but we do offer supplemental accessories.  If you are undecided on what to wear, bring the closet and we'll help you choose and match with the sets you want!

​​

What are your photo session hours?

We have a wide availability and is by appointment only.  We can be there as early as dusk or way past your bedtime. Normal hours during the week Monday- Friday are 4pm-9pm. Weekends are 9am-6pm

​​

How far in advance should I reserve my appointment?

​​If this is a gift for your fiancé for your wedding, we recommend you schedule your shoot at least 2 months prior to the date you'd like to have your photos by.​

Can I bring a friend? What about kids?

We apologize but we do not allow anyone else on set/dressing room due to distractions. Kids are not allowed in the studio unless you are doing a family styled pregnancy shoot. If this is the case, please bring another adult to monitor younger children (under 5) while you do your solo shots. Bring coloring books or something to occupy your wonderful children. All monster children will be given caffeine and a puppy:-)

Do NOT bring children to an intimate shoot or to your intimate proof appointment - you will be asked to leave. It is NOT okay.

​

Do I have to pay for everything up front, what are the fees if I reschedule?

Your session fee is prepaid in full in order to get on the calendar. You can do so with a credit or debit card via paypal.
