Studio & Logistics
Your studio address and parking details will be sent to you in a confirmation email and added to your calendar invite. You do not need to search for it — it comes to you.
Your arrival time:
Come with clean dry hair and a clean moisturized face. Wear loose-fitting clothing — zip-up hoodies or button-up shirts are best so hair and makeup stay intact while you change.
First reschedule more than 30 days out is complimentary. First reschedule within 30 days of your session incurs a new $500 non-refundable session fee. All subsequent reschedules incur a $500 fee regardless of timeline.
Cancellation or no-show will result in a $500 fee charged to the card on file.
Your Reveal and Ordering Appointment is scheduled 7 to 14 days after your session, either via Google Meet or in person at the studio. We will schedule it together at the end of your session day — have your calendar ready.
Please allow 1 to 1.5 hours for this appointment.
Digital files are delivered within 5 business days of your appointment or final payment, whichever is later. Albums and wall art are ready 8 to 12 weeks after your order is fully paid off. You will be notified if delays occur.
We accept a wide variety of payment methods and offer flexible plans to fit your life. For full details on collections, payment plans, financing options, and how the ordering process works, visit the Financial Prep page.
View Payment OptionsOnly one pre-approved guest is allowed per session. Guests must be 18 or older and out of high school. No surprise visitors. No exceptions. This space is sacred and needs to feel safe and distraction-free so you can fully be in the moment.
Guest rules:
- Show a valid photo ID upon arrival
- No phones or cameras on set at any time
- No coaching, directing, or backseat photography
- Must remain positive, respectful, and encouraging at all times
- Should provide tangible support — hype them up, help with outfit changes, bring snacks, zip a dress
Your session crew is you, Brandy, and possibly an assistant (also a woman.) Your hair and makeup artist leaves once styling is complete.
Guests are also welcome at your Reveal and Ordering Appointment. Please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
After your session you will select your images and choose the products you want to take home — digital files, albums, wall art, and more. Products are not ordered until your balance is paid in full. Once ordered, physical products arrive within 8 to 12 weeks. For a full overview of everything available, visit the Products page.
Browse ProductsWhat to Bring
Lay everything out the week before and double-check the day before you leave. If your car is in the garage, pop it all in the trunk the night before so you don't forget anything.
Not sure what to bring or how to put looks together? The wardrobe guide has a full masculine and gender-expansive section with styling notes, what photographs best, and how to mix pieces from both sides of the closet.
Book Wardrobe ConsultGreat masculine pieces to bring:
- Suit and tie with matching belt and shoes
- Plain button-up shirt (solid color, no pattern) with dark jeans, belt, watch, and nice shoes
- Fitted V-neck tee in a plain color
- Brand new boxer briefs — plain colors, minimal logos
- Grey sweatpants with a tee or tank
All clothing should be in like-new condition, ironed and on hangers. Bring items in on hangers so no wrinkles happen in transit.
Getting prepared
Comprehensive Checklist
My Session Prep
- Review the Client Lounge — read everything before your session.
- Start planning your outfits. Review the 44 outfits and props to consider on the wardrobe page.
- Start stretching (with doctor permission). Boudoir is basically sexy yoga. See the stretch guide.
- Start drinking lots of water — great for your skin and flexibility.
- NO spray tans. NO tanning beds. At all. Stop now and don't resume until after your session.
- Traveling from out of town? Start planning now. See our favorite hotels, restaurants, and things to do in Indianapolis.
- If you haven't set up a pre-session payment plan yet, do so now. Schedule your pre-session planning appointment.
- If you haven't booked your wardrobe consult yet, schedule it now for 2 to 4 weeks before your session. Book your wardrobe consultation.
- Get to know who you'll be working with. Meet the team.
-
Book your beauty appointments. Book now. Schedule each for the dates below.
- Hair: Book now — schedule for 1 to 2 weeks before your session
- Waxing: Book now — schedule for exactly 5 days before your session to reduce redness and swelling
- Laser hair removal: Book now — schedule for 4 days before your session (only if you have done this before)
- Eyebrows: Schedule for the week of your session
- Nails / mani-pedi: Schedule for 1 to 3 days before your session — soft neutral tones or a color that matches your outfits
- Book your complimentary wardrobe consultation with Brandy (2 weeks to 30 days before your session).
- Confirm your payment plan is on track. Your collection must be paid in full 30 days before your session. Review payment options.
- Start packing if you are an early planner.
- Moisturize. Then moisturize again. Every single day.
- Do a hydration facial 3 to 5 days before — at a spa or at home using something aloe or cucumber based, mild and safe for sensitive skin.
- Gentle exfoliation 2 to 3 days before your session, followed by daily moisturizer morning and night until session day.
- No chemical peels this week.
- Wear SPF 35 to 50 every day. Sunburnt skin shows red in photos and won't match your foundation. Review the full hair & makeup guide.
- Wax, shave, or laser according to the timeline above.
- Use a lip scrub and mask to remove dead skin and hydrate your lips.
- Hydrate. Drink your water — helps with stiffness and makes your face glow.

- Remove hair ties, tight bangles, and watches before you leave.
