What am I giving her?
A Black Feather Boudoir gift card — a private, guided photo session designed to make her feel confident and beautiful. No experience needed.

Does she have to know about it?
The gift card itself can be a surprise. But she'll need to be looped in before her wardrobe consultation — a 25-minute video call that happens with her directly, at least 2 weeks before her shoot date. The surprise can hold right up until then.

How much should I give?
Reserve her session for $250 — covers her session fee, whichever session type she chooses. Or gift $750+ for her session plus a keepsake collection (Muse Book). Either way, she picks her own date and style.

How does gifting actually work?
One gift card, any amount. She uses it toward her session, her collection, or both — however much you give. Gift cards up to $2,000 can be purchased directly online. For a larger gift, contact us and we'll send a custom invoice.

Does it expire?
No. She can use it whenever she's ready, and she picks her own date, wardrobe, and collection.

Does the gift-giver plan wardrobe or attend the session?
No — wardrobe planning happens directly between us and her. She brings her own intimates; we provide accessories, heels, and jewelry.

How does she receive it?
Delivered instantly by email or text on whatever date you choose, or a physical card is available on request.

How far in advance should I buy this?
The sooner the better — most sessions are booked 6 months to a year out.

Yes — more than anyone, this experience is for you. Most of the women who walk through our doors don't feel confident going in. That's not a barrier to booking, it's exactly why this exists. Every pose is guided, every angle is chosen with you in mind, and our job is to help you see yourself in a new way — long before you ever see the final images. You don't need to feel ready. You just need to show up.

Not at all. While many clients do book around a wedding, anniversary, or milestone, just as many book simply for themselves — no occasion required. This is your story, and wanting to see yourself this way is reason enough.

This is a very common worry clients mention, and one of the most least likely outcomes. Every pose is guided in real time — we're watching the camera with you, adjusting angles and lighting as we go, so nothing makes it to your gallery that hasn't already been seen and loved by us too. By the time you sit down for your Reveal, you're looking at a curated, professionally edited gallery. Clients consistently tell us they're surprised by how much they love what they see and that they loved seeing images on the camera during the photoshoot.

During booking, you'll select your privacy preference, and it's honored throughout your entire experience:

• Full Sharing — you're comfortable with your images (including your face) being used in our portfolio, website, and social media.

• Anonymous — your images may be shared, but only in ways that don't reveal your identity (cropped, obscured, or featuring details rather than your face).

• Private — your images are kept completely confidential and are never shared or published anywhere.

You choose your preference up front, so there's never any guesswork about how your images may be used.

What's the difference between La Séduction and La Petite Muse? La Séduction is our signature session — up to 90 minutes, 3 wardrobe changes, with hair and makeup available as an add-on. La Petite Muse is a shorter, simpler session — 30 minutes, 1 wardrobe change, perfect if you're short on time. Full details are on our Investment page.

Do I need to decide what to purchase before my session? No. You'll choose your images and collection together during your Gallery Reveal, one week after your session — nothing to decide in advance.

Is hair and makeup available? Yes, as an add-on for La Séduction sessions. La Petite Muse does not include hair and makeup as an option.

Yes. Payment plans are available at your Gallery Reveal, once you've chosen your collection. Typical plans are set up for bi-weekly plans for up to 6 months. We can discuss options at your reveal appointment.

At your Gallery Reveal, one week after your photoshoot.

Every pose is guided from start to finish; no experience or posing knowledge is needed.

Your outfits — chosen together during your wardrobe planning appointment, a video call where we go over options based on your session type (La Séduction or La Petite Muse) and what makes you feel your best. This is also the time to mention any special items you'd like to include, like a wedding veil, wedding shoes, or a sentimental piece of jewelry. From there, you simply bring what we've planned; everything else during your session is guided.
