Everything you're wondering
asked & answered
What exactly is a Christmas Quickie?
A 15-minute boudoir mini session on our limited edition Christmas set, offered two days a year — Nov 13 + 14. The full boudoir experience, condensed: styled set, professional direction, retouched images, mini price.
Will other people be there?
Mini days run marathon style — you're photographed completely individually, but other women will be in the studio getting makeup done or waiting their turn. Best energy of the entire year. Zero awkward silence.
I've never done this. Is it for me?
Especially you. You get posing guidance and facial coaching every second, and 15 minutes flies by before nerves catch up. Most first-timers book a full session afterward. Consider yourself warned.
Do I get to pick my images?
Pre-purchase any add-on and you hand-select every image from a private proofing gallery. Book the minimum, and your photographer selects your two — though if you want more afterward, just ask and we'll open a gallery.
Can I do two outfits?
Only with a pre-purchase. Second looks come with the 20-image package, Collection I, or Collection II and can't be added on session day. Both outfits are brought by you.
How long is my session, really?
15 minutes — unless you pre-purchase Collection II, which stretches it to 25 minutes. The only Quickie that isn't so quick.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — before your session only. Split any add-on or collection into a pre-payment plan,
paid in full 7 days before your date —
try the payment plan calculator. After your session, purchases are pay-in-full — though Afterpay is accepted anytime.
Hair and makeup?
Not included. Pro makeup is a $135 add-on — arrive [45 min] early with a clean, moisturized face. No hair services on mini days, so everyone (yes, even makeup clients) arrives with hair fully photo-ready.
What should I wear?
Whatever makes you feel like that version of yourself. Classic: matching set + heels. Cozy: oversized knit + festive socks. Bold: red, velvet, sparkle. A full prep guide with outfit ideas arrives after booking.
Who will see my photos?
Entirely up to you. Your contract includes your privacy preferences, and nothing is shared or published without your written permission. Your gallery is private and password-protected.
Can I bring a friend?
Mini days are a no-guest event — out of respect for the space and privacy of every client being photographed. The good news: you won't need one. The studio is full of women cheering each other on all day, and your photographer has the hype covered.
What if I need to reschedule?
Mini sessions can't be rescheduled and session fees are non-refundable — with only ten spots across two days, every slot counts. Book a date you're sure of, then guard it like the last gift under the tree.
When do I see my images?
All reveals are virtual — no in-person appointments. Your proofing gallery arrives within 48 hours of your session, and final retouched images are delivered within 14 days of selection — in plenty of time for under the tree.
