Frequently Asked Questions
Boudoir sessions take place at my studio in Baldwinsville, NY.
Absolutely not! There is no pressure at all to be completely nude or to any level of undress that you’re not comfortable with. Lingerie is not required to be sexy!
Anything that makes you feel confident & sexy! If you’re leaning towards lingerie, bodysuits look amazing on all body types - and you can’t beat a classic, black lace bra. Neutral colors like black, white or beige look super tasteful and elegant with my studio set.
You can do a lot with items you may already have in your wardrobe - jeans, a white t-shirt, an airy robe, a blazer. The options are endless!
Check out my Wardrobe Guide for more tips & ideas.
I do not currently offer a client closet - you'll be responsible for providing your own wardrobe items. (Except the white sheet of course - I've got you covered there!)
I typically keep the photo retouching pretty minimal, as I still want you to look like you! I remove small blemishes (and scars if requested). I do a bit of skin smoothing which will typically minimize stretch marks or “problem areas” but still keep things looking “natural”. If you desire more extensive retouching, we can talk about that at your consultation. Just ask!
I currently only offer individual boudoir sessions for women. However, if you're interested in a couples boudoir shoot - feel free to shoot me an email!
No! Your images are NEVER shared without your permission and there is no pressure to sign a model release. Your privacy is my utmost concern, so rest assured that you’re in good hands.
The first step to booking your boudoir session is to schedule a quick & easy phone consultation! I've made it easy for you - you can book your call online! Click here to schedule a phone consult. We'll talk about all the juicy details, answer any burning questions & pick out a date for your shoot!

Boudoir sessions typically last around 4 hours. You’ll be in hair & makeup for an hour or so, then we’ll shoot for 1.5 - 2 hours. You’ll want to plan to take the day off from work so you don’t feel rushed and can fully relax during your session!
We will schedule your viewing & ordering session a few days after your photo shoot. This is when you’ll get to see your amazing photos and select your favorites!
We'll meet via zoom, I share my screen & you'll see the unedited images. We can spend as much time as you need to pick out your favorites. After you choose your final images, I'll do the signature Carly Boudoir retouch so they're *flawless*.
Yes, digital images are included with all of my collections!
Photo shoots take place between 10AM - 3PM, Monday - Thursday. You’ll want to plan to take the day off from work so you don’t feel rushed and can fully relax during your session.
Of course! I will guide you with posing the entire time, so you don’t need to worry at all.
None of the women on my website are models! They are all everyday women - it’s my job to make you look and feel like a model. Boudoir is for every woman, regardless of age, shape or size!
