Frequently Asked Questions
Belle-Vous Photography – Brisbane Boudoir Studio
Everything you were afraid to Google about booking a boudoir photoshoot.
General & Booking Questions
What is included in the pre-shoot consultation?
We meet at my brisbanestudio (or via Zoom) for coffee, mood-boarding and wardrobe planning. Expect 30–120 minutes of outfit ideas, Pinterest inspo and sizing tips so your boudoir shoot feels custom-made.
How far in advance should I book?
Eight weeks is ideal because our handmade albums can take up to six weeks in transit. Peak periods (Christmas, Valentine’s Day) fill 3-4 months out, but last-minute weekday slots pop up—just ask!
Do you offer payment plans or Afterpay?
Yes. Split any package 6–40 weeks interest-free.
How long is a full boudoir experience?
Plan for 3 hours total: 60 min professional hair & make-up, 90 min guided photography, 30 min same-day image reveal. I shoot one client per day so you’ll never feel rushed.
Can I book maternity or couples boudoir?
Absolutely, maternity, couples and LGBTQIA+ sessions are a studio favourite. We simply tailor posing, wardrobe and lighting to match the vibe you want.
Style, Wardrobe & Makeup
Is professional hair & make-up included?
Yes—every package includes a 5-star Brisbane MUA, lashes and light hair-styling. Go full Hollywood glam or subtle soft-glow; just show reference pics.
What outfits photograph best?
Solid black, deep jewel tones, bodysuits, high-waist knickers, oversized button-ups and sheer robes. Avoid neon or busy micro-prints. Check our Brisbane lingerie shop guide for ideas.
Should I tan or wax before my shoot?
Skip spray tans, they can look orange in photos. If you wax, do it 5-7 days in advance. Hydrate, moisturise and arrive in loose clothing to avoid fabric lines.
Privacy & Inclusion
I’m transgender / non-binary am I welcome?
Absolutely, Belle-Vous is an LGBTQIA+ safe space. We photograph, celebrate and respect every body and identity.
Still have a question? Reach out, no question too small or “silly.”
