Artwork Options

We offer many ways to uniquely display and showcase your gorgeous images!

When you come in for your private reveal and ordering session, we will look through all of your final images and begin making artwork choices. We have curated samples from the very best labs in the world, and when our clients touch and hold them, they can feel the difference! Most of our products are handmade in Europe

I will help you in narrowing down your final images to those you absolutely love.

The Experience

Why should you invest in a boudoir experience?

Boudoir portraiture is an art form; much like the paintings and sculptures of the old masters, you too are beautiful and your beauty deserves timeless preservation.

This is what I live to serve: to create gorgeous photographs you will value for years. I believe that every woman should be able to pull out photos of herself and “remember when”. These shouldn’t exist on a hard drive or some kind of disc, but should live in a beautiful album or reveal box that you or your loved one can share and treasure as a gift to yourselves

For centuries, women have been told how to feel, what to wear, and how we should view our bodies. We are too skinny, too fat; we eat too much or too little. Brands market clothing to us in sizes designed to evoke emotions that make us addicted to numbers on tags and scales.

Boudoir is different. It’s about who you are in your own skin. Peel away your insecurities and inhibitions, who you’ve been told you are, and it’s all about who you feel you are on the inside. Women come to my boudoir sessions feeling nervous and leave feeling feminine and empowered.

The strongest action for a woman is to love herself, be herself, & shine amongst those who never believed she could.

Book Your Session

We’ll chat on the phone about what you are looking for, talk about your “why” and then if you like what you hear, we will book your date!

Optional Phone Planning Session

Schedule your optional phone planning session. This is a 30-minute meeting we can have to talk about wardrobe, ideas, and collaborate on your vision. I make this optional because most clients fully trust us to give you a kick-ass session no matter what! However, I want to help you be at ease before your session and these planning calls definitely help with that!

Get Glam

When you come in for your session, our hair and makeup artist is going to bring you up to our studio, put you in a robe with a tasty bev in your hand, and get started on your makeover!

Time to have some fun!

Session time! We will shoot 3-4 outfits, or “looks”. Most clients opt for 2-3 different lingerie looks and then a fine art nudes, but that is up to you! I will guide you through all the poses from eyelash to pointed toe!

Sessions last about two hours.

The Image Reveal

Right after your session, we send you out for a late lunch and then you’ll come back to the studio an hour later to see your final images for the first time and get to order your favorite to take home in luxury, heirloom-quality products hand-curated by yours truly.

Wear your crown

You’s a bad ass bitch, you beautiful queen! Sometimes it just takes doing something outside of our comfort zones to realize how bomb we are!

FAQs

All your burning questions answered here!

If you’re like every other woman who has booked a boudoir shoot ever throughout the history of time itself, you have questions. What should I wear? Who’s going to photograph me? Do I need to know how to pose? and the list goes on.

This page addresses all of that and will eventually link to posts that expand on each question. Have a burning question you don’t see here? Send me an email and find out more information about your D.C. or Jacksonville Boudoir session.

Why do you photograph intimate portraits?

Because we live in a world that has told women how we should look, act, and feel. A boudoir session helps reclaim some of what has been taken from us, and allows us to own our beautiful selves. I love being able to give that to other women and help them celebrate their self-love.

Do I need to know how to pose?

The only people who need to know how to pose are professional models. Your job is to show up and that is it! My job is to help you feel relaxed and pose you from the tips of your fingers, to your eyelashes, to your hair. I’ll walk you through each step as I look through my camera to make sure you look beautiful!

Do I need to provide the outfits or do you provide them?

I always suggest that my clients bring things they feel absolutely stunning in, whether that is a cute off-shoulder sweater and knee-socks, or stilettos and a teddy, because it is ultimately about how you feel in the clothing you will be wearing. With that said, Supernova Boudoir also has a small, but growing closet you can browse.

How many people are involved in my shoot?

Prior to your session, you will be hanging with me, your makeup artist and your hair stylist. After you are done getting glammed up, you will typically only be with me, unless we decide to bring in an assistant for the day, in which case they will always be female and always with your express permission first. Supernova Boudoir’s mission is to maintain client comfort and privacy above all, so you come first.

Who does my makeup and hair?

I work with an amazing team! My primary hair and makeup artist is Finn from Blush Away Makeup. She does fantastic work and you will love getting dolled up by her! In the event that Finn is not available, I pull from my resources of local professionals who do outstanding work as well.

How many people get to see my photos?

You know how I mentioned above that client comfort and privacy are super important to me? Who gets to see your photos is entirely up to you. I will always ask you as part of my standard operating procedure, but I will never, ever make you sign a model release. You get to choose which photos make it out into the world, or none at all, because boudoir is a commissioned art that shows intimate parts of you and I want you to be in control of that. Many ladies do opt to share at least a few photos, but it is entirely up to you.

How many photos are included in the final product?

You will see approximately 60-80 original images to choose from to make an order, whether it’s a luxry album or beautiful wall art. However many you decide to purchase is up to you!

What happens to the photos I don’t choose?

First, I delete all the blinks, blurs, and other photographs that aren’t up to my artistic standards. They’ll never see the light of day. You won’t see them, either. The photographs you don’t choose will also eventually be deleted to free up space on the hard drive, and I will store purchased photographs for an undetermined amount of time.

How long does it take to get my order?

All orders are 100% handmade just for you and may take up to twelve weeks for delivery. This is because I curate from the best labs around the world, so your order might be traveling from Europe! This also allows a buffer in case there is a mistake that needs to be corrected, but if the order is early, rest assured you will get it sooner rather than later. It is well worth the wait, I promise!

Your work sure helps us to recognize that in ourselves, Jennifer! Seeing ourselves through your lens gives us the best possible reminder! Am I right, Ladies?
