What to expect during your boudoir journey

The time has come!

Maybe it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, or a dream you had for a long time, but you finally took the decision to book your boudoir shoot.

You feel super excited, maybe a little bit nervous because it might be your first time and you wonder:

Now what?!

You don't know what to expect, you are not sure what the next steps are, you can feel confused by all the information you see on different websites…

Do not wonder any longer, today we are sharing with you our process for our boudoir shoots.

Let's talk pricing first

When you go on our website, you can read that our pricing is cut in two:

  • First there is the session fee, which includes the expertise of two photographers (Juliette and Fanny, hi this is us 😀), the loft rental, makeup and hair, and the boudoir shoot.

  • Second, there are the photo packages for digital pictures, prints, and albums.

The reason behind divided our pricing in two is very simple. We believe you should be able to choose the quantity of photographs you want to purchase (instead of paying from the start, for example, for 25 images when you want only 15).

On top of that, it gives you the option for multiple instalments. Not everyone can afford to pay everything at once.

Use our contact form

Once you have looked at our portfolio and work's details, the next step is to send us an email. For that, we have a very easy-to-fill contact form.

When contacting us, do not hesitate to tell us why you want to do a shoot and what your story is. We LOVE when people share their reasons behind wanted to do a shoot. And it also help us to have a better idea of what you have in mind.

It is time to chat

Once you sent us your email, we will reply to you within 24 hours, with some details and the option to book a virtual meeting with us. This is a very important part of the process in which you can tell us more about your ideas or vision, ask us any questions, see if we are a good fit, and book a potential date for your shoot.

It is free and does not commit you to anything.

All in one platform

Once the meeting is over, we will send you everything you need in order to book your shoot:

  • invoice and steps to pay the deposit;

  • contract;

  • and release option (to choose if we can use or not your pictures).

Everything is sent to you digitally via an online platform that keeps all the document in your private portal. No need to print anything and easy to access.

Loft & makeup

Once the deposit is paid, we book one of our talented makeup artists (if you which to have your hair and makeup done by a professional) and we also take care of booking the loft. Both are located in Toronto. Our designer lofts are beautiful: from industrial vibes (bricks, beams, warm tones), to a modern atmosphere (neutral tones, airy decors).

We make sure to rent one you will love, based on what you shared during the virtual meeting.

The real fun begins

This is the moment you have been dreaming of… and also our favourite part! Those next 90 minutes (length of the shoot) will be about you, AND ONLY YOU.

During that time you will have fun, let loose, and pose like the badass and confident being you are. After the session, you will feel like you can do anything!

When you arrive, we go over the clothes and accessories you brought (which will probably be in a big suitcase 😉), help you mix and match, and select 3 outfits you really want to wear during the shoot. We usually have time to shoot extra ones as well.

It is our role to guide you, and pose you accordingly to your body type and the vibe you want to have for each outfits. We believe we all have different personalities, so doing a boudoir shoot is the perfect opportunity to embrace all of them!

When do I see my pictures?

It has been two weeks since your shoot, the time for your viewing session has arrived. You might ask yourself:

“A what? “

See it as the big reveal, the moment when we show you how well you posed during the shoot. Usually we meet at our home office, over pastries and tea. But we can also do your viewing session on Zoom where we will share our screen with you if it is more convenient for you.

During the viewing session, we show you a selection of your pictures (we would have removed the doubles and test shots), and help you decide the ones you want to purchase.

Photos & prints

You will get your photographs digitally, in high resolution (meaning you can print them the size of your wall if you want to 🔥), without any watermark, and delivered via an online private gallery.

If you are like us and enjoy being able to see your pictures on paper, we work with a wonderful professional and private printer who provides high quality prints and albums.

And after?

You did your shoot and got your beautiful images, so it would be normal to think that you are done with us. But it does not have to be like that! You can of course decide to live your life and forget about Scandaleuse, or you can do what most of our clients do:

Be part of our community, full of badass, strong, and powerful Scandals!

We always have events, special shoots, or content in which our community can participate to. We also love when our clients share their transformation with us. Boudoir is so much more than pretty pictures. It pushes you to go after what you want in life, and makes you feel empowered. Why?

Because once you strip down in front of two strangers, nothing can stop you 🤩

Sexy Christmas Cookies

Ohohoh Scandaleuse family, we hope you all have been naughty this year. For sure we have been, especially on social media: posted several times women nipples on Instagram and Facebook, got posts deleted, banned 24 hours from Facebook which black listed us and does not want our “dirty money” (sadly we cannot advertise and boost posts there anymore). But we are badass & rebellious boudoir photographers and will always find a way to help desexualized the woman breast.

To annoy social media a little bit more, we made those Christmas special cookies. They are crispy, tasty and super sexy

The recipe

For 6 people / 15 cookies

 

Ingredients:

• 250g of Flour

• 100g of Sugar

• 65g of Apple Sauce

• 65g of Melted Butter

• 1 Egg

• Orange Blossom or Rose Water

• Decorating gels

First you will need some heart-shaped cookie cutter for a neat shape. If you don't have any, this is not a problem: grab a piece of thick paper and fold it in two. Draw half of your shape on one side of the crease line and cut it from both sides. When you unfold your shape, you should get a symmetry.

• In a mixing bowl, add all of your ingredients (make sure the butter is cold before to add it otherwise it is going to cook the egg) and mix well with either a fork or your hands (it tastes better with fingers). The texture of the dough should be thick, a little bit sticky and scrambled. If your dough is too liquid, add more flour. Sprinkle a bit of flour on a kitchen plan and your hands, make a ball out of the dough and put it on the floured surface.

 
 

• Preheat the oven at 180°C/360°F.

• Flatten the dough with a rolling pin but do not make it thinner than 5mm. Use your paper shape or cookie cutter to create the cookies. Once you don't have room on your dough, mix it again and repeat the process until you finish completely the all dough (no food waste guys!).

• Put the cookies on a baking tray slightly buttered and stick it in the oven for 15min at 360°F. Once they are baked, take them out and let them cool off before decorating.

For the decor, feel free to be as creative as you want… with the rest of the dough we made some delicious vulva and penis (hey don't judge us we are french!).

Now it is time to enjoy those big ass cookies with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

Take a selfie with your cookies, tag us and #scandaleusecooking. Let's free the boobies and have a wonderful Christmas…

JOYEUX NOËL!
