FAQs

Where are you located?

The Artistry of HER studio is full service luxury boutique style studio. We are located conveniently downtown on Hale Street in Charleston, WV.

When should I book a session?

In general, if you should book in advance. If you are looking to have physical products by a certain date, your session should take place at least 3 months in advance of your deadline. The schedule fills pretty quickly and generally schedule sessions 3-4 months in advance. But seriously, once you think your are ready to book, you should take the plunge!

Does the session fee apply towards my product order?

No. The session fee goes toward your session fee only. It is a nonrefundable retainer. It cover’s the costs associated with your session only!

Can I choose to do my own make up and hair?

Short answer, yes. The quality of your images is our number one priority. Making sure that your hair and makeup is on point is a huuuuuge part of ensuring that your images are to die for. Plus, your time in the makeup chair is when we really get to know each other before you strip down. If for some reason you choose to do your own make up and hair you most certainly can.

I would love this experience but I am nervous about my body. Do you Photoshop?

Girl, you are gorgeous, even on the days you don’t feel it! As far as the level I retouch: I do skin retouching, lighting/color adjustments, skin smoothing. I do not alter your body in any way. Truthfully babe, that does more damage in the long run. I’ve built my career on the foundation of helping you celebrate who you ARE, not what Photoshop can make you. TRUST ME, you will see yourself in a light you never thought that you would and appreciate your body and all that it has done for you.

I’m nervous about the investment. Do you offer payment plans?

I’m so glad that you asked! I understand that spending money on yourself can que some guilty feelings, so I offer a payment plan! This plan allows you to pre-pay for up to a year prior to your session (think of it as a virtual piggy bank!), one allows you to use pre-pay/pay in full your ordering session and another option is to pay in full at the viewing! I never want money to hold you back from this experience and I’m absolutely dedicated to helping you make this happen for yourself! To set up a pre payment plan, book a phone consult and let’s chat about it!

How do I know if the boudoir experience is right for me?

If you are a living breathing woman who has an intense desire to love yourself well, boudoir is right for you. Sure, it makes a great gift for a significant other but there needs to be another underlying reason for you to truly get the most out of this experience. Your age, weight, race, size does NOT matter. You are gorgeous just as you are. Sometimes you just need to see yourself through someone else’s lens to be reminded of that.

I’m not sure how to shop for outfits or how to be sexy! Help?!

I got you, babe! Once you are officially booked (Yay, happy dance!), I will send you over studio prep guide which is designed to help you through the prep portion of your experience. It helps you through outfit selection, what to do prior to your experience, and answer all of your burning questions! If you need help after that I am always available for a consult prior to your session! We have a full client closet with so many items so need to buy any lingerie or outfits if you don’t want to!

As far as being sexy… this is something that IS inside of you! You don’t know it yet, but that is where I come in! I will guide you through everything and pose you from you head to your finger tips! As soon as you see yourself on the back of my camera your fears will melt away and you will see how freaking sexy you are!
