A NOTE FROM ME

You don’t need
to have it figured out.

Maybe you’ve wanted to do this for years. Maybe it’s a new idea. You can bring reference images, a favorite outfit, or just a feeling you want the photographs to have.

I’m Rylee, a queer photographer and filmmaker. I’ve photographed over 400 boudoir sessions since 2015. I’ll help with the practical things—what to wear, where we’ll photograph, and what to do with your hands—and leave room for you to settle in.

Soft, playful, masculine, feminine, or somewhere of your own making. There’s room for your expression here. You don’t need to change your body or arrive feeling confident to be photographed.

FIRST / YOUR EXPERIENCE

The session.

$500

Due at booking with your signed agreement.

We plan the experience together, including your artist, photography space, and viewing appointment. The session fee is separate from your image and product purchase.

What’s included

  • Pre-session consultation and wardrobe guidance
  • Professional hair and makeup at the artist’s studio
  • The agreed private photography space
  • Up to two hours of photography with Rylee
  • Guidance with posing, movement, and expression
  • A separate in-person portrait viewing and ordering appointment

Images, albums, prints, and digital collections are purchased separately. Any special location, additional styling, film, or other requested extras are quoted before you commit. No session travel fee during my confirmed route dates.

BEFORE, DURING & AFTER

Here’s how it happens.

  1. 01

    Let’s talk.

    Tell me what brought you here, where you are, and the photographs you’re drawn to. We’ll go through the experience, full pricing, and payment-plan options before you book.

  2. 02

    Reserve your date.

    We confirm the plan, then your signed agreement and $500 session fee reserve your session. If you’d like to prepay for a collection, we’ll arrange a schedule that fits the time before your shoot.

  3. 03

    Get ready with your artist.

    Professional hair and makeup take place at the artist’s studio. You’ll receive the address, appointment time, preparation instructions, and a clear plan for getting to the photography location.

  4. 04

    Meet me for your session.

    We meet at our agreed private photography space for up to two hours of photography. I guide your posing, hands, movement, and expression, with room for outfit changes and breaks.

  5. 05

    See your photographs together.

    After the shoot, take a break while I prepare your images. We meet for an in-person viewing at an agreed location, such as a quiet café with private space. The timing and setting are confirmed with you beforehand.

  6. 06

    Choose what you’ll keep.

    I help you select your favorites and choose an album, folio, wall art, or digital collection. Your chosen products, any remaining payment, and delivery dates are confirmed before I place your order.

THEN / YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS & PRODUCTS

Something to keep.
In your hands. In your life.

Choose the way you want to live with your photographs. Collections are purchased separately from the $500 session fee. Individual products are also available; ask for those options before booking.

Prices in USD, before applicable tax and agreed extras. Collection II and Collection III include the full edited digital gallery with a personal printing release. Collection I includes the physical products listed; digital images are separate. Album image counts describe selected photographs, not the number of pages.

You’ll see the pricing before paying the session fee. Your proposal confirms your chosen purchase, payment schedule, and final total.

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS, MADE TANGIBLE

Made to be
picked up again.

A few of my product samples. We’ll choose the photographs, sizes, and finishes for your own pieces together.

Albums

Your favorites together in one place, with a design you approve before it’s ordered. An 8 × 8 album is included in Collection II; a 10 × 10 album is included in Collection III.

Prints & wall art

A photograph you can live with every day. Every collection includes metal artwork; sizes and quantities are listed in the collection details above.

A playful little extra

A photo viewer is another way to keep a set of favorites close. Ask about adding one to your order; it is priced separately and isn’t included in the collections above.

These are sample products, not a scale reference. Your order confirms the exact product, size, finish, images, and price.

INTEREST-FREE PAYMENT PLANS

Something to look forward to.
A plan to get there.

You don’t have to pay for your collection all at once. We can spread the cost into weekly, biweekly, or monthly payments leading up to your session. Quarterly arrangements are also possible when there’s enough time before your date.

The $500 session fee reserves your date with your signed agreement. Collection payments are separate. We’ll agree on amounts and due dates before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect.

GETTING READY

Wear what feels good.

Start with what you own.

A slip, a bodysuit, an oversized shirt, jeans, a favorite set, or something with personal meaning. Send me a few phone photos and I’ll help you choose before you buy anything new.

Try everything on.

Sit, stretch, and move in your options. Pack complete looks, any accessories you want photographed, and a comfortable layer for between outfits. We’ll confirm what you’re bringing in advance.

Give yourself breathing room.

Follow your artist’s hair and skin preparation instructions. Check both addresses, allow for travel between appointments, and bring water and a snack. There’s no need to change your body for this.

Tell me about any movement, sensory, or access needs that would help me plan with you.

YOUR BODY / YOUR BOUNDARIES / YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS

You get to choose.

What you wear.

You decide how much you want to show. Fully clothed, lingerie, covered, and implied portraits can all be part of your session. Nudity is never required.

How we work.

You can decline a pose, change your mind, or pause. You don’t have to share a personal history to set a boundary. The session and viewing are planned around your comfort and privacy.

What stays private.

Your images are never shared publicly without your explicit permission. A separate model release is optional. Choosing privacy does not change your experience.

SUPER 8 / 35MM / INSTANT FILM

A little grain.
A feeling you can keep.

Film is part of how I tell stories. Alongside digital photography, we can weave Super 8, 35mm, and instant film into your experience, choosing the formats that feel right for you.

Super 8

Moving images on film: the way you reach for each other, a breeze through the room, laughter between photographs. A little home-movie feeling.

35mm film

Still photographs with grain, texture, and the character of film. Another way to hold onto the light and feeling of the day.

Instant film

A photograph you can hold. Small, tangible pieces of the experience, with the imperfections that make each frame its own.

Tell me which formats you’re drawn to when you inquire. Your proposal confirms the film coverage, deliverables, and any additional cost before you book.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Nerves can
come with you.

Ask about the experience, the photographs, or the payment plan. You don’t have to know every answer before reaching out.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Interest-free collection prepayment plans can be weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Quarterly arrangements are possible with enough lead time. The $500 session fee is separate and due at booking. We agree on the schedule before your session; collection prepayments finish 24 hours before the shoot. Ask about a plan when you inquire.

Is the $500 session fee applied to my collection?

The session fee pays for your experience and is separate from your image and product purchase. It includes planning, professional hair and makeup, the agreed photography space, up to two hours of photography, posing guidance, and your in-person viewing. Photographs and products are purchased separately.

Do I need to know how to pose?

No. I’ll guide your positioning, hands, movement, and expression. We adapt to your comfort and mobility, and you can pause or skip any suggestion.

Is boudoir only lingerie or nude photography?

No. A favorite shirt, jeans, a bodysuit, tailoring, lingerie, or a covered portrait can all work. Nudity is never required. All bodies, sizes, and gender identities are welcome. Sessions are for adults 18 and older.

Can I book a maternity session or come with a partner?

Yes. Tell me what you’re imagining when you inquire. We’ll discuss comfort, timing, and any additional styling or production needed for your particular session before quoting it.

Where do hair and makeup, the shoot, and the viewing happen?

Hair and makeup take place at the artist’s studio, and we meet afterward at the agreed private photography space. We arrange a separate in-person viewing location together. A café only works when there is suitable privacy and you’re comfortable with it. You receive the addresses and timing in advance.

Will you post my photographs?

Only with your separate, explicit permission. Booking a session is not permission to share your images. A model release is optional, and choosing privacy does not change your experience.

How do editing and the full digital gallery work?

I select the photographs that meet my standards and finish them with care for light, color, and your preferences. The full edited digital gallery means the finished images selected for your reveal, not every frame photographed or RAW files. It is included in Collections II and III. We discuss retouching preferences before the shoot.

Can I buy individual products?

Yes. Ask for the individual product options and prices before booking. The three collections shown here are bundled options. Your proposal records what you choose and the full cost.

When will I receive my images and products?

We confirm delivery timing in your proposal and again when you order. Albums need a design and approval step before production. If you have a gift deadline, tell me before choosing a session date. Products are ordered and digital images delivered after the relevant balance is paid.

What happens after I inquire?

I’ll follow up personally to confirm availability, answer your questions, and discuss a payment plan if you’d like one. You can read this entire guide before paying. A signed agreement and the $500 session fee reserve your date.

LET’S PLAN SOMETHING THAT FEELS LIKE YOU

Share your city, timing, and what you have in mind. You can ask about a payment plan in the form; I’ll help work out the schedule before you book.
