Getting started
I’m so excited meet you and work together! First things first, reach out via email (inpowerboudoir@gmail.com) to begin scheduling with me. We will set up a phone call to get to know each other a bit, chat about availability, answer the questions you have about the IPB experience, and go over what I call the Pre-Shoot Questionnaire. This questionnaire allows you to share a bit (in as much or little detail as you’d like) about your identity, your current relationship with your body, any triggers I should be mindful of, your comfort level in different photoshoot conditions, and any accessibility needs you may have.
I will then send you a follow-up email summarizing our phone call, along with my notes from our questionnaire discussion so you can be confident that I captured everything we need to move forward! This email will also have the Boudoir Session Contract attached for you to review, and we can go over any questions you may have about it. Once you are ready to secure your session date and time, you will send me your signed contract and photoshoot deposit so the real fun can begin!
Photoshoot day
AKA the day your life changes! We will meet up at our pre-planned location and head to our shooting spot together. Once we reach our destination, there will be some time for test shots and to get some nerves out! I know that photoshoot days are filled with all sorts of emotions and can be stressful. I always have an easygoing, down-to-Earth approach, and do frequent check-ins as to how you’re feeling. If you ever feel overwhelmed or simply need a break, there is always time and space to put the camera down and breathe. No expectations, no judgements. Just two people existing in nature, creating some beautiful art!
The shoot itself typically lasts about 1.5 - 2 hours, and don’t worry - you do not need to know how to pose! That’s my job. I will coach you through several different poses, and there is also plenty of time to go with the flow. Capturing candid moments is one of my favorite parts of the shoot - magic moments often happen in-between poses when you’d least expect it! While shooting, I am also constantly aware of the surrounding environment to ensure you feel safe and comfortable.
art reveal & selection
Once post-processing is finished, I will reach out to set up a viewing of your gallery (either in-person or virtually). Viewing images of yourself can be an emotional experience, and as we go through the gallery together, there is time and space to express those emotions. Once we have viewed all of your art, there is time for you to select which pieces you’d like in your Final Package (additional images may be selected a la carte- see pricing for details). Your Final Package is then securely delivered to you virtually within 24 hours of selection. Then comes the easy part… you get to enjoy them for the rest of your life.
testimonials
“I loved every part of my experience with Cassie. From the moment we first talked about the shoot, it was clear how much intention and care had gone into creating an experience that felt meaningful and comfortable and empowering for me . . . I was especially struck by how just by being herself, she created a space where it felt natural and safe to frolic around in nature fully naked in the sunshine!”
“Even though I was nervous before my shoot, Cassie’s open, sincere, and reassuring conversations immediately made me feel better. As the shoot progressed, I felt more and more free - I found that what I had been nervous about was actually within my comfort zone! She led me through such an empowering experience and I’m so glad I did it!”
