Frequently Asked Questions
A: I have a fantastic team of women in my style team that I love and trust. I won’t let anyone else but these ladies work on my clients, as they know how to create flawless hair and makeup looks for my clients, so they are camera ready. You do have the option to do your hair and makeup, of course, but it does not change the price of the session fee. However, I warn clients that doing your makeup or day to day makeup is not the same as photography makeup! It is a different application process and looks. After you see yourself in the mirror at the end of your hair and makeup experience, you might be shocked by how you look. But trust me when you see the photos you are going to love it.
A: The session fee for solo boudoir of $450 includes a pre-session consult, professional hair and makeup, two looks, head to toe expression and posing coaching, prep guide, style guide, 100+ images to choose from, a 60-minute session with Heather Elizabeth and then a separate personalized viewing session to pick your favorite photographs that you will schedule for two weeks after your photo session. Images and Fine Art Items are all purchased at your viewing session separately.
Couple's Sessions include the same but run $500.
Session Fees are due at time of booking and are non-refundable.
A: Your photos will be artistically edited and ready to reveal approximately two-three weeks after your session date.
A: YES! Your images are 100% private just for you. All of the images used on my website I was given written permission to share.
A: My sessions take place at my beautiful home studio located in Pleasanton, California. I am just a few minutes from Downtown. If you desire an on location photo session, a travel fee will apply.
A: You need to bring your own outfits and accessories to your shoot. However, if you want a white sheet look for your boudoir photoshoot, I provide that! I want these images to reflect your personal style and personality. I help you plan your outfits and am here if you have any questions at all through the planning process!
A: Then you can always book an editorial beauty session with me! Sometimes my clients just aren’t ready to bare all, and that is totally ok. This is about what feels empowering and beautiful to you. I absolutely love creating editorial style beauty images for clients.
A: Yes! I love photographing couples. Heather Elizabeth Photography is also proud to say that we are LGBTQ friendly, so all couples are welcomed to have their intimate, sweet, and sexy connection documented. To ensure that I have enough time, my couples sessions require a minimum of an hour-long portrait session.
A: Due to the personalized nature of photography, there are no refunds available on your session. Albums are final purchase and there is no re-print available once you approve the final design, so please make sure you look over your album closely.
A: I get that plans can change and a scheduled date might no longer be convenient. You can reschedule your shoot once without any penalty if you give at least 21 days' notice. However, if you need to reschedule with less than 21 days' notice, you'll need to pay a non-refundable fee of $450. If you decide to cancel or don't show up for your appointment, any payments made won't be refunded or transferred. Once you sign the contract, I reserve that date for you, meaning I can't offer it to anyone else who might be interested.
