Hey there, gorgeous!
Welcome! This guide is going to walk you through the process of what to expect with a boudoir shoot with Moonlight and Lace Boudoir and what exactly boudoir is. I am excited to get you in the studio and create magic! If you have any questions after reading this, please feel free to reach out and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
The guide is very thorough... which means it's not necessarily short! Sit down, grab a glass of wine and read this until the very end.
Boudoir photography celebrates the essence of sexuality and empowerment. While gifting an album to your partner is a wonderful idea, remember that this experience is primarily about YOU. It's time to unleash your inner Boss Babe and own your boudoir session.

Allow yourself permission to feel sexy and have fun! Throughout the session, we'll focus on three things:
Brains - Embrace your intelligence and confidence.
Beauty - Discover and celebrate your unique beauty.
Booty - Feel empowered by your body and embrace your curves.

This experience is all about self-expression and self-love. Embrace it fully and let your inner strength shine through!
Where are you located? Our studio is located at 47 W. Main Street Waynesboro, PA 17268. We have over 2700 square feet with multiple set ups, a makeup and wardrobe room, and a fabulous sales area full of samples where you can view your images during your viewing session. Our stdio is full of gorgeous natural light, hardwood floors, and hand selected decor by yours truly.
So, what is Boudoir? It's like your own secret wonderland, where you can embrace your inner goddess and rock your confidence like a superstar. Boudoir is all about celebrating YOU – an intimate escape to a realm of self-love and playfulness. Picture a dreamy bedroom or a luxurious dressing room filled with laughter, fabulous outfits, and captivating vibes. And hey, let's not forget about the magical art of boudoir photography! Boudoir is NOT pornographic.

So... strike a pose, flaunt your sassiness in stunning lingerie, and let those alluring images immortalize your unique beauty. It's time to unleash your fierce, fabulous, and fun-loving self in the most delightful and empowering way imaginable!
With our all female staff you're in good hands, and we can't wait for your shoot!
What would I do with boudoir portraits?
At our boudoir portrait sessions, we aim to capture your essence as you are now. Boudoir is a beautiful gift you can give yourself - a collection of amazing portraits to remind you of the strong, beautiful woman you truly are. It's about boosting your self-esteem and confidence, celebrating your femininity and sexuality, which can often be lost in the busyness of life. Boudoir portraits will be a cherished reflection of the bodacious babe you are.
I don't look like the women in your portfolio!
Boudoir is for every BODY, and there's no such thing as the perfect body. We celebrate the uniqueness of each individual and welcome women of all shapes, sizes, ages (18+), and backgrounds. Your session will be tailored to showcase your beauty just as you are. Let us show you that boudoir is a journey of self-empowerment for every woman.
Can you make me look thinner?
Our focus is on highlighting your best features and making you feel beautiful just as you are. We provide expert hair and makeup styling, along with a wardrobe that complements your figure. Through skillful lighting and posing techniques, we aim to flatter your body and emphasize your assets. However, we believe in showcasing the real you and avoid heavy photoshopping. Our goal is to capture your natural beauty and help you see how stunning you are at this very moment.
What about retouching?
We offer retouching services to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your portraits. Our standard retouching includes removing temporary blemishes like pimples, bruises, scratches, and under-eye circles. Additionally, we can retouch other aspects like cellulite, scars, small tattoos, and stretch marks if you wish. However, we always encourage embracing your natural beauty, and many of our clients are amazed at how incredible they look straight out of the camera.
What can I expect from the boudoir experience?
During the boudoir experience, our primary goal is to give you an unforgettable session. We'll guide you throughout the process and ensure your comfort at every step. From personalized hair and makeup styling to wardrobe selection, we'll create a setting that brings out your best self. Our team will be there to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have during your time with us.

Remember, this is a once-in-a-lifetime dream session for most of our clients, and we want it to be an empowering, uplifting, and celebratory experience. Embrace the opportunity to rediscover your confidence, femininity, and sensuality. You deserve to celebrate the beautiful body you live in! If you have any queries, don't hesitate to call or email us - we're here for you.
I. What will I wear?
At our boudoir studio, we want you to feel confident and fabulous during your shoot. That's why our policy is always "when in doubt, bring it"! You're welcome to bring any outfits or lingerie that make you feel amazing. To help you create your dream shoot, we encourage you to make a Pinterest board and share it with us. This way, we can collaborate and ensure that your session reflects your vision.
We also have an incredible client wardrobe with over 330 pieces to choose from, ranging from sizes S to 5X. You're more than welcome to borrow from our collection, and we'll personally select pieces just for you and your special day. Our goal is to provide you with an array of options that make you feel beautiful and confident.
II. Do I get to talk to you before my session?
Absolutely! Before your boudoir session, we'll arrange a consultation over the phone. This conversation is essential for us to prepare you for the shoot and get to know you better. We want to understand your preferences, expectations, and any specific ideas you may have. Your comfort and confidence are vital to us, and we're here to assist you throughout the entire process.
Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have via email. We value clear communication and want you to know that we're here to support you every step of the way. Your satisfaction and enjoyment of this experience are our top priorities, and we can't wait to create stunning boudoir portraits that celebrate your unique beauty.
