FAQS

How far in advance should I book my session?

It is typically recommended that boudoir sessions are booked 2 months in advance of when you will need your finished product in your hands. That way it allow us time to plan a date, book your makeup artist and location, and also allow you enough time to plan your shoot wardrobe (shopping!). That's not to say we can't do it in a rush. We often times work miracles to meet tight deadlines, just let me know in advance and we'll try to make something work. Sessions must be booked Monday through Friday during months of (May - Oct). Weekend availability will be limited during this time but may be requested for an additional fee.

Where will the session take place?

Many of our clients may prefer to shoot in the comfort of their own home or at a friend's home. Some may prefer to photograph at a hotel. In this case, you can either book on your own or have the studio book for you (see a la carte add-ons). Location would be chosen at the discretion of the studio. Travel fees may apply for locations beyond 40 miles of Greenwich, CT.

I feel nervous and worried I won't know what to do/won't be photogenic enough. Can you help me?

It doesn't matter if you're a woman with all the confidence in the world. The idea of getting nearly naked in front of a camera can be daunting for anyone. It is completely normal to feel a little nervous before a boudoir session. This is why the first consultation with me is important. You'll have the opportunity to get to know better me which will result in your being more comfortable by the photoshoot date. I also give very detailed instruction with posing down to fingertips and even guiding you through breathing techniques so you absolutely do not have to be nervous about knowing what to do. My goal with every one of my clients to make them feel at ease and relaxed. I promise within just a few minutes into our shoot, you won't even remember why you were nervous in the first place!

Do I need my hair & makeup done and do you offer these services? 

Having your hair and makeup professionally done will make a big difference in the transformation you'll see in images so I do highly recommend it. Plus, it also adds to your experience! Who doesn't love to get pampered? You can choose to book the services yourself or through me. I work with a team of phenomenally talented artists that are familiar with my photographic style and can provide artistry to compliment it.

How much does this all cost and what does it include?

My packages include up to 90 minute shoot time, up to 4 outfit changes, as well as digitals with options to purchase prints and books a la carte. Email me for more information: donna@donnacheung.com or via the contact form above.

Will my photos be kept private?

Your privacy is my number one priority. Nothing will ever be shared without explicit consent by you. If after the session, you decide you loved your photos so much you want to share with the world (which of course I'd love to have your permission to do so!), a separate model release with different levels of consent would be sent to you for signatures prior to any images being shared. Even if consent it given to share some or all of your photos, names will never be used on any social media or website posts and you would never be tagged.

How much editing will be done on the photos?

All images in the final gallery will include light editing such as color toning along with light skin softening and light blemish removal where needed. I rely heavily on using posing techniques to best hide or minimize any "problem areas" you may be concerned with as expressed to me in our consultation. Additional editing requests beyond this will incur additional fees depending on amount of work requested.

How long do I have to wait to see my photos?

Typically within 2 weeks your gallery will be ready. A private, password protected gallery link will be emailed to you for viewing, print orders and digital downloads. The link will expire after 60 days.

How do you handle payments?

A 25% booking retainer is required to reserve a session and the balance is due 1 week before your shoot date. Cash, check or credit cards via Venmo or Zelle are the preferred methods of payments. Payment plans are also available upon request.

Do you offer special rates if a friend wants to do a shoot on the same day?

Yes I do offer special rates if a friend would like to share your session date! Boudoir sessions are great for bachelorette parties or girls night outs too! Email me for more information: donna@donnacheung.com
