Unveiled Portraits offers an extraordinary boudoir photography experience. Your photography adventure starts with an off-site professional makeup application, wardrobe styling consultation, on-set touch ups and a super fun photo session. After the shoot every image is expertly enhanced. Each ordered selection is custom retouched by the photographer.
Boudoir photography is fun and quite easy. It makes a great gift for your significant other, boyfriend, fiancé, husband or yourself! We realize that boudoir photography is a type of photography that is probably pretty new to you, we’ve put together a summary of the process to help you better understand what to expect…
Step 1 – Choose your session: In-a-Row or Private Session
Select a session time from the available sessions. We shoot multiple in-a-row sessions at boutique hotels in the Milwaukee or Appleton area. These sessions are held in each city on weekdays and on select weekends throughout the year.
Private sessions are available at any time Tuesday-Saturday (except weekends May-October). You supply the location, most women prefer to book a hotel room and keep it for the night for an evening out with their guy or a place to crash with the girls.
Step 2 – Reserve your session
Book your session online via our proofing partner Instaproofs. Select “Book Your Session Now” from the listing. Available sessions will be listed. Please check the date and time before completing your purchase. Sales tax will be applied based on your mailing address. In-a-row and Private sessions require 50% of the session fee at the time of booking. Mini-Sessions require 100% payment at the time of booking. Complete payments are due one week before the session.
Once we receive notice that you’ve reserved a session we will send you a questionnaire and full details about your session.
Step 3 – Secure your salon appointment
Please check your package to see if makeup is included with your session. If it is, you must call and make this appointment on your own. We prefer to work with GLOW Salon and Spa in Milwaukee and Epic Salon in Neenah for our makeup artistry.
Step 4 – Plan your wardrobe
We suggest selecting an outfit you feel great in for your first outfit; something a bit more demure. For your second outfit pick something that he might really like. Your third outfit could be something a bit out of character… anything from a corset and stockings to just a panty on the bottom and nothing on top.
Visit our outfits section for more information on finishing your outfit with shoes and jewelry.
Step 5 – Treat yourself right
Good rest is essential. Eat well; please don’t crash diet for your photo session. Don’t worry about heading to the tanning booth and please do not use a DIY self-tanner. These things will really not enhance your finished photos if done the week of your session. Just relax. Leave if to us to expertly pose and guide you, showcasing your best features, polishing you beautifully in the finished product.
Step 6 – Day of the session
Please arrive 10min prior to your session time ready to be photographed. If you have hair and makeup appointments, please make sure that this appointment does NOT make you late for your photo session! If you choose to do your makeup and hair yourself, do each like a pro. It really helps bring out your features in your photos. But, don’t feel like you have to be too extravagant; sometimes hair looks best when it’s simply straightened or lightly curled.
When you arrive for your session, I will take a look at the outfits you brought and we will plan the order of the shoot. During your session you will get a short amount of time to change into your various outfits. The quicker you change the more time you will have in from of the camera.
After your session…
After your session, the proofs will be ready for you to view online in about 10-14 days. The proofs are shown on a password protected, secure site. For the first 7 days that your proofs are available online, you are eligible for a 10% discount on all prints. Your proofs will only be available online for 30 days – in which you need to place your order.
When your proofs are available, we will notify you. You will also receive your credit code that you will use when you place your order.
Once you place your product or print order, I expertly retouch all of the images that you select and process your order. It usually takes about 3-4 weeks for you to receive your order from the time it is placed.
