Where can I get my boudoir photos printed?

Short answer: I do it for you!

Long answer: I offer several products you can choose from such as archival prints, luxury wall art in metal or canvas, bespoke albums with luxe thick pages, a  nostalgic retro viewfinder, and more options!

A boudoir photography session with House of Rowan is a concierge experience. All you have to do is show up for your session, I take care of everything else so you don’t have to worry. Let us pamper you!

How do you pronounce boudoir?

It’s a tricky one!
boo-dwaar

Will Shutterfly print boudoir photos?
Will Walgreens print boudoir photos?
Will Costco print boudoir photos?
Will Walmart print boudoir photos?
Will Snapfish print boudoir photos?

Probably not. Some places censor the type of images they will print so it’s not guaranteed.

But with House of Rowan, you don’t have to worry about printing, I got you! I offer several products you can choose from such as archival prints, luxury wall art in metal or canvas, bespoke albums with luxe thick pages, a  nostalgic retro viewfinder, and more options!

Even if they do:

Their products are absolutely not comparable to what I offer

Many of these places have onsite labs which are likely employees from your neighborhood. If you’re not comfortable with a neighbor seeing them or have privacy concerns, printing at a local place is definitely not advisable.

When should you have a boudoir session?

Anytime! If you’re planning on gifting them for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or special occasion I do suggest having your session at least 2 months prior to the event. 

We tend to book very quickly, so scheduling as soon as possible is usually best!

Where to buy boudoir outfits?

This is the most frequently asked question I have heard from my clients. It has been asked so often that I actually opened a lingerie boutique, House of Rowan! The boutique is open to the public, but clients get an extra bonus of a $25 gift card towards shopping AND in person style assistance during their in person consultation! 

I have always offered styling assistance and a comprehensive style guide to my clients. I believe in preparing every client as much as possible in order to ease their nerves. I walk clients through every step of the process AND email guides that go over everything! I am also available during business hours to answer any questions, no question is dumb, I promise!

How does boudoir photography work?

This is a long one! I offer a concierge service, which means I take care of everything for you. I’ll list the steps of your session/prep/after session as well as what’s included with your session.

01 The Consultation
This is when we get to know each other better. We’ll meet in-person to plan your boudoir session and go over all the details to prepare — location, outfits, style, and hair and makeup. We’ll plan and design your session so it’s customized to your personality and preferences.

All your questions will be answered so you are confident and ready for your photography session.

After the consultation, I’ll send you a personalized, private Pinterest board with attire, location, and makeup ideas. Please pin your ideas to this board so that we can collaborate to really create a session that’s all about you! You’ll also receive several prep emails before your session. They go over EVERYTHING so you’ll be completely prepared for your boudoir session!

02 Professional Hair and Makeup
Part of the boudoir and self love experience is a bit of pampering! Hair and makeup are included as a way to relax before your session. Our professional artist creates looks that enhance your natural features, never change them.

We’ll schedule plenty of time in advance of the session for you to get pampered.

03 The Boudoir Session
This is where all the preparation comes together and we create beautiful art together!

A boudoir session lasts about 4 hours, including time for hair and makeup. We’ll meet at the location you chose and begin your session. I’ll help feel comfortable in front of the camera and be yourself! And don’t worry about posing, I’ll guide you through the poses and even demonstrate them myself (which gets all of my clients laughing).

We’ll take all of the time needed to ensure a fantastic experience that focuses on you.

04 Reveal and Order Appointment
Rather than be overwhelmed by an online gallery full of hundreds of images to scroll through (and then be unsure of what and how to order), we’ll schedule an appointment to choose your images together.

This appointment is scheduled 2-3 weeks after your boudoir session.

In advance of your appointment, I’ll curate the best images for you to view and select from. After you choose your favorites, I’ll help you determine the appropriate size wall art to fit your space and order the albums and art you’ve selected.

There will be samples of the luxury albums, wall art, and prints on hand for you to see and feel. I’ll help you order exactly what you want so it’s all taken care of.

05 Custom-made Products
I’ll place your order with my professional printing lab.

Generally within 5-6 weeks, your custom products will be ready. Some orders may require more time, depending on the exact order. This will be discussed as needed.

Once your items are ready, I personally hand-inspect each piece and wrap them in boutique packaging. Then, I will let you know it’s ready for pickup.

What does boudoir photography mean?

So glad you asked!

Formally defined, boudoir photography is a photographic style featuring intimate, sensual, romantic, and sometimes erotic images of its subjects in a photographic studio, bedroom or private dressing room environment.

But let me tell you IT IS SO MUCH MORE here at House of Rowan!

Having the confidence to embrace sexuality has always been a huge part of my life and encouraging others to explore and accept their own interests is important to me.

My work focuses on promoting confidence and empowerment  through sexuality, however my clients define the word.

Whether you’re into the romantic implied style with lingerie, sultry looks and covered bits, or you’re into a bit of light bondage and rope, or more extreme interests… Whatever level of sexuality you’re comfortable expressing, working with me provides a judgment free space in which to experiment and express yourself.

Boudoir is really all about empowerment and most of my clients leave with a renewed feeling of confidence, body positivity, and self love.

Are boudoir photos worth it?

Absolutely! Just check out these testimonials! Or check out any of the blogs at arowanphoto.com/blog for more in depth details about our clients’ sessions.

Are boudoir photos a good gift?

Boudoir images do make a great gift for a partner, but the best gift of all is the gift to yourself. 

Our clients leave with a renewed sense of self, reinvigorated confidence, and often a new understanding of themselves. 

A boudoir session is all about empowering YOU! Showing you another side of yourself, your inner self, the self you want to manifest.

The YOU that WANTS to shine!

Who is a boudoir session for?

ANYONE! If you’re wondering whether a boudoir session is for you… STOP wondering because it absolutely is!

The clients I work with are everyday women with careers, families, partners, kids, busy lives… Basically, they have a million things to focus on and sometimes they forgot to make themselves a priority. Sometimes we need a break, a day away from it all. A day to reconnect with ourselves. A boudoir session is a day of pampering and not worrying.

And I always hear “But I’m not a model!” You don’t have to be! You just have to be ready to see yourself from a new perspective!
