Grace & Lace Boudoir FAQ
Where will my boudoir pictures be taken?
All sessions are held in our private Huntington Beach studio for your comfort and privacy.
How many people will be at my shoot?
Just me, Jeni, your photographer, and our professional hair & makeup artist/assistant. No one else—your comfort is our top priority.
I’m shy… is this really for me?
Absolutely! Boudoir is for women of all shapes, sizes, and ages (21+). Feeling nervous is part of the excitement. We guide you every step of the way, making sure you leave feeling confident, beautiful, and empowered.
How old are most clients?
Most clients are 25–55 years old, though you must be at least 21 to book a session.
Do you retouch images?
Yes! We enhance your natural beauty with light skin smoothing, lighting adjustments, and flattering posing. We never alter your body shape. Scars remain unless you request otherwise.
Will my photos be shared online?
Only with your written permission. Your full name will never be linked to your images without consent.
I don’t know how to pose—will you help?
Yes! I’ll guide you through every movement and expression, from head to fingertips. We’ll even use your favorite music to help you relax and enjoy the experience.
Do you shoot nude images?
Yes, though we no longer post nude images publicly for privacy reasons.
Can I do my own makeup?
We strongly recommend using our professional hair & makeup artist (included in your creation fee). They know exactly what works with our lighting and studio setup to bring out your best features.
What should I bring?
After booking, you’ll receive our Welcome & Prep Guide, which includes lingerie tips, store recommendations, and helpful suggestions. We’re always available via phone or email if you have questions.
How long until I see my images?
Your reveal & ordering session is typically one week after your shoot. Need it sooner? Just ask—we can make it happen.
How long does it take to get my finished products?
Digital images are available immediately upon purchase. Albums and printed products typically take 2–3 weeks after you approve the design.

What’s your cancellation/rescheduling policy?
