Yes, boudoir photography can be completely private, and with me, your photos are never shared unless you give permission. Your images are stored on an external hard drive, and if you order digital images, you get a private, password-protected gallery that only opens with your email address. If you do want to share some, you have the final say on every image.
Trusting someone with a boudoir session is a big deal, and it's completely normal to wonder where your photos end up. Here's exactly how I handle privacy with my clients in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Will my boudoir photos be shared?
No, not unless you give me permission. Your photos stay between us. I never post or share client images without your okay.
How are my images stored?
Your images are stored on an external hard drive, so they aren't accessible through my computer. They aren't sitting on a shared drive or an open folder where someone could stumble across them.
How does the private gallery work?
If you order digital images, I give you a private, password-protected gallery that can only be entered with the email address you provided. You can view and download your photos there without anyone else having access.
What if I want to share my photos?
Some clients love seeing their work shared, and that's completely up to you. If you give permission, you have the final say on which images I can use on my website and social media. If there's one you love and one you'd rather keep private, that's your call.
How do I feel safe during my session?
Privacy is only one part of feeling safe. You should feel comfortable from your first message through your reveal:
We talk first. At your consultation, I ask about your comfort levels and make sure you know the wardrobe options. You don't have to be nude, and here are all your options.
You set your boundaries. A professional boudoir photographer should never push you to do something you aren't comfortable with.
I guide you every step of the way, so you never have to wonder what's next. Here's what to expect at a boudoir session.
What questions should I ask any boudoir photographer about privacy?
Will you share my photos anywhere without my written permission?
Where and how do you store my images?
How will I receive my images, and who else can access them?
If I allow you to share some photos, do I get to choose which ones?
Can we talk before I book?
Not sure how to choose? Here's what to look for in a boudoir photographer.
