Lots of people wonder if we offer payment plans, and here is the lowdown on all things payments.
I want to make sure you can get what you really want, you are taking a lot of time and preparation to do something really special for yourself, so you deserve to fully invest in yourself to have artwork that will last a lifetime!
A Stress-Free Way to Plan for Your Boudoir Experience
One of the questions I’m often asked is:
“Do you offer payment plans?”
The answer is yes—with one important distinction. I offer flexible prepayment plans that are completed before your boudoir session rather than payment plans that begin afterward.
A prepayment plan gives you time to prepare for your investment gradually, enjoy some valuable bonuses, and arrive for your session knowing that everything is already taken care of.
How a Boudoir Prepayment Plan Works
Once you reserve your session, we’ll talk about the photographs and products you may want to take home. From there, we can create a prepayment schedule that works with the time available before your session.
Depending on how far in advance you book, your payments may be divided into smaller weekly, biweekly, or monthly amounts. You aren’t choosing your individual photographs in advance—you’ll still select the images you love after seeing them.
You’re simply planning ahead for the collection you want.
By the time your session arrives, the financial part is complete. You can relax, enjoy being pampered, and focus on the experience instead of thinking about a balance afterward.
Prepaying Comes With Extra Bonuses
Clients who prepay for their collections receive special bonuses, including the corresponding digital images of the portraits they order.
That means you can enjoy your photographs in the beautiful products you selected while also having the matching digital images to keep and enjoy personally.
The exact bonuses available may depend on the collection you choose, and I’ll explain all of your options during your consultation—before you make any decisions.
Why I Offer Prepayment Rather Than After-Session Financing
I previously allowed clients to take products home and continue making payments after their sessions. Unfortunately, a high number of those accounts were never completed. Too often, life happens and other things take priority, and clients never circle back to finish paying off their session.
Because of that, I no longer offer in-house payment plans after a session.
I never want payment concerns to cast a shadow over such a meaningful experience, which is why I now offer a clearer and more comfortable option: planning for your purchase ahead of time.
It protects my small business, but it also benefits you. There are no lingering balances, no surprise decisions made in the excitement of your ordering appointment, and no waiting to receive products that have already been paid for.
“But How Will I Know What I Want Before I See My Photographs?”
That is a completely fair question!
You don’t need to know which individual images you’ll choose before your session. We’ll talk about the types of products you’re most drawn to, how you hope to enjoy your photographs, and the collection that best fits what you envision.
After your session, you’ll see your finished portraits and select your favorites. The difference is that you’ve already prepared financially for the experience.
And I should warn you: most women love far more photographs than they expected to!
Booking Early Gives You More Flexibility
The earlier you reserve your session, the more time we have to divide your investment into comfortable payments.
For example, a collection that might feel significant all at once can become much easier to manage when it is spread across several months. This is especially helpful if you’re planning your session for:
- A wedding or anniversary gift
- A milestone birthday
- A personal transformation
- Valentine’s Day
- A holiday gift
- Or simply something meaningful you’ve decided to do for yourself
You don’t need to wait for a special occasion—but when you do have a deadline in mind, booking early gives us the greatest flexibility.
You’ll Know Everything Before You Commit
I believe you should understand the complete investment before booking—not discover it after you’ve already fallen in love with your photographs.
During your consultation, we’ll talk openly about pricing, products, prepayment options, and what you would most love to create. There is never any pressure to choose more than what feels right for you.
My goal is for you to feel comfortable, informed, and excited from the moment you reserve your session through the day you receive your finished artwork.
