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.
