Boudoir Photography FAQs

We've collected a list of questions that are commonly asked by our clients shedding some light on the "mystery" of a boudoir shoot so that you can be confident and familiar with what to expect!


BOUDOIR SHOOT


  • I'm not a lingerie type of girl. Can I still do boudoir?

    Absolutely! Lingerie is not the only way to look and feel sexy. You can do a boudoir shoot wearing a dress, robe, button-up, etc. Let us know if you are interested in a more in-depth wardrobe consult.

  • Can I bring someone with me to the shoot?

    You are welcome to bring a guest, either a friend or a significant other. We ask that you inform us of the guest before the shoot, and please limit to one person as we have limited shooting space.

  • What if I don't like my pictures?

    After photographing women since 2012, I’m confident that you will be thrilled with the finished product. However, if for any reason you’re unsatisfied you may opt-out of purchasing your photos.

  • Where are the boudoir sessions shot?

    Matt has a beautiful 4,200 square foot elegant studio in Birmingham, Alabama. The boudoir studio fills the entire second floor while the first floor is the Matt Mathews Lingerie Boutique, where you can shop Matt's hand-picked lingerie and signature candle collection.

  • Who will see my photos?

    I take your privacy very seriously and it is entirely your choice. I love to share the art we create together with my Instagram followers and website visitors, but I will always discuss with you before sharing any pictures.

  • Do you offer hair and makup?

    Absolutely! Although hair and makeup are not included in the cost of my boudoir packages, we do have a makeup artist on our team. It is a required part of the overall experience that you use our amazing makeup artist. Our Glam Goddess, Lauren, will make you look and feel like an absolute Queen.

  • How long does a typical boudoir session last?

    Sessions usually last 2 - 4 hours. I will never rush you out the door.  I will pour you a glass of wine (hell even a shot if you want it) while you glance around the Lingerie Boutique.


  • How many outfit changes are included?

    The skies are the limit ;) We actually don't have a "limit" of how many outfit changes are allowed during your session. However, we do recommend sticking to around 3 outfit changes. Our posing can be a real doozie of a workout so thats why we suggest sticking to 3 wardrobe changes. 

  • I’m ready to book, what’s next?

    The first step is definitely the hardest, but you won't regret it!  We are so excited you're interested in a boudoir session with Matt Mathews. Boudoir is truly an art form – we are deeply passionate about making you feel and look your very best. We can show you just how worthy and beautiful you actually are, showing you what everyone else sees and ultimately changing the way you see yourself in the mirror. Boudoir is very personal and sometimes can be intimidating but trust us, 100% of our clients leave us happy, excited, and feeling amazing. Start by filling out the inquiry form and my team will send you our planning guide. 


Payment


  • Do you offer payment plans?

    Yes. We offer 6 month payment plans with no interest that help with fitting each and every budget. 

  • should I feel comfortable spending money on myself?

    I totally understand. That’s why we offer payment plans to make a boudoir portrait experience manageable for any budget. This is an experience that you will cherish for your lifetime and you’ll be able to look back at your pictures and cherish the memories and experience for years to come.

  • What is your refund policy?

    After a year like 2020, we all understand that sometimes everything doesn't go to plan! With that being said, we do allow ONE reschdule per booked session. There is a $150 reschedule fee that is applied in order to change dates. If you needed to reschdule a second time, you would be required to pay the full session fee price to book a new date. All sales are FINAL. 

  • I’m not sure what I want to order yet, can I decide when I see my photos?

    We actually suggest that each client come to their Image Reveal without any preconceived ideas of what products they are going to buy.  We are planners too, so we totally get wanting to KNOW before you come in. BUT, with that being said, its completely impossible to know what products you want to purchase when you haven't seen your images. So, we suggest coming in to your image reveal with a loose idea of what you might want, while also being openminded to changing up what you had in mind! 

So you have decided to brave it?

So you have decided to brave it and do a boudoir session? That’s exciting and I commend you for deciding to do so. A great boudoir session can give you a confidence boost which will lead to you being more comfortable with yourself and in your skin. Aside from the confidence you gain, it is a fun experience. You get to be pampered, dress up in beautiful outfits, and feel like a queen for the day.
