Before the Shoot
You'll receive our Beauty & Boudoir Prep Guide, inspirational Pinterest Boards, and wardrobe consultation.
Based on your mood board, I'll let you know what to bring and what I'll provide so we have everything we need for your dream shoot!
At the Shoot
You're welcomed with a hug and a smile and start your day of celebration! And we chat while you're getting all dolled up.
I'll guide you from head to toe with posing, angles, and lighting - for flattering, beautiful shots, that you'll have a blast taking!
After the Shoot
Two weeks after your shoot we'll review your images, create your order, select art for an album, and choose what wall art is best for you.
3-4 Weeks later you'll be holding the Fine Art of YOU, in your hands!
FAQ
Where are you based? And do you travel?
I have a beautiful natural light studio downtown Raleigh, on Hargett St. Down the road from Raleigh Times, and right above Raleigh Raw. It's a cool historic building with exposed brick and downtown city views.
I love travelling! But I have a baby so I don't like leaving too often so it's pretty limited right now. But it's possible :) And so fun when it works out!!!
I give out-of-towners suggestions on local places to stay and what to do while you're here. You can make a little weekend out of it!
What days do you shoot?
Wednesday - Friday: 10 am - 6 pm
Most people take a vacation day for their celebratory shoot! Playing hooky adds to the self-love experience :)
What are your rates?
Our digital image collections begin at $1299. Our beautiful, albums begin at $1500, and our collections with albums and digital images begin at $1999. Peepshow viewfinders start at $699.
What should I wear?
Great question! It'll depend on what kind of session we're doing and what you want to feel when looking at the images. We'll review all of this and give suggestions before the shoot! I also have a wardrobe collection you can browse through and use!
Will you help me with posing?
YES!!! That's one of my main jobs. I'm here to make your life easy! I'll help you feel confident and be with you each step of the way.
Can I bring a friend to the shoot?
Of course! Just make sure they make you feel amazing. Cheerleaders only, please :)
How much editing will you do?
I do general color correction and soften the skin just a touch. And remove anything not permitted like bruises or blemishes.
A painterly Fine Art edit is one of my favorites! It's fun to do for one or two images for wall art. And is a great add-on to your other images that will be included in an album.
How soon will I get my pictures back?
A Zoom appointment is scheduled 2 weeks after your session to view your images and purchase your package.
Once the order is paid in full, the order will be placed. Albums and artwork will be delivered 3-4 weeks after ordering. Rush is available if needed.
Will my images be shared online?
Up to you! You give me permission to share what you're comfortable with. Of course, I appreciate it when I can share images for marketing!
Do you offer raw files?
No. This is my passion and my art form. To make sure all images are my work from start to finish, no Raw images are released.
Do you sell digital files?
Ideally, Albums, Prints, and Wall Art are ordered with me to ensure professional printing and color correction.
High-resolution digital files are available for purchase if that's what you prefer.
We also have collections that have it all if you can't decide :)
How does ordering wall art and an album work?
At your ordering session, we'll review your beautiful images and together, select your favorites. I help guide you to what would look great together in an album and for wall art. After you pick your images, I will design the album for you! I make a special note of your favorite images and make sure those are the star of the show!
When do I pay?
The non-refundable retainer fee is due to book and confirms your shoot date.
Most clients book 2-4 months ahead of time.
The day of your ordering session you'll purchase your package. I accept Venmo, PayPal or credit card. Payment plans are also available. Products are ordered once payment has been paid in full.
Do you photograph men?
Yes! I specialize in humans that identify as women, but I do offer headshots, personal branding, and tasteful boudoir for men.
Do you shoot couples?
I haven't yet! But do plan to offer it in the future. Stay tuned for a model call!
I have more questions!!!
No problem. I got you! Email me at hello@susandelene.com, fill out the contact form or book a call! Hope to talk soon!
