STEAMY SESSIONS | COUPLES BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY

You don’t have to hire me to photograph your steamy couples boudoir photography session, but I want to share with you why so many couples do.

“Helping couples reignite their spark”

Why a steamy session and not a boudoir session?

I know you’ve heard the term “couples boudoir” before, and yes, it’s sexy and bold. It’s heavily focused on the “sex” factor, and yes, the outcome of a steamy session will likely cause #sexfordays. A steamy experience is focused on celebrating your connection, your unique personality, and just genuinely getting back to being kids again and having fun. It’s not that serious…. It’s kinda crazy

So why do couples hire me to photograph them?

I listen. This isn’t about me; it’s about you two, and I spend time getting to know you both through questionnaires and meetings. I want to know why you want to do this, what makes you two tick, your love languages, your fears, concerns as much as you want to share.

It’s slow. Yeah, like real sexy slow. Your session is a minimum of 2 hours, and the fist 20 minutes is really just us connecting again, talking, having a drink. Then I pick up my camera and spend sometime with you two fully clothed, in something comfortable like loose jeans, dresses, whatever makes you feel good. This is to get you comfortable being photographed, then we move into less clothes, and then even less.

You are Safe. This is all I do, I work with couples in this intimate environment all the time. Your safety and comfort are my #1 priority. We communicate often during your session, and I want you to know that anytime you aren’t feeling like you, we can adjust, take a break, or stop entirely. It’s also a space where you and your partner can explore new things.

Your story matters. You two brought me into you world to help you celebrate your journey together. That truly matters. The struggles, the adversity, the joy, the pain, all of it matters. You’ve worked to butts off to keep your marriage, and get it to this place.

All humans are welcome! I welcome all body types, shapes, sizes, colours, relationships, EVERYTHING. I love human beings in love, and this space is for you.

We are ready… head to my website to inquire

Ok, Megan, but how does this work?

Firstly, sending an inquiry is as easy as following the link above (or at the end of this blog) and filling out the questions in the form. You’ll hear back from me within 24 hours, with a few more questions, just to get to know you two, and a few dates to set up a time to chat over zoom. This chat is complementary, around 30 minutes, and it helps make sure it’s a good fit for both of us!

The booking process after that meeting is simple: there’s a session fee that covers our time together, my studio, OR travel to your preferred location (I’m in Vancouver, Canada, and my session fee only covers travel within that area. Inquire about travel fees for the rest of the world) Then after your session you’ll choose the image package that fits your budget. (You’ll see what those cost prior to booking) A contract, with some details. Then that’s it! We can confirm your date, location, and any other details when we meet after you’ve signed your contract.

ok… but then what.. we’re nervous.. help!

If it helps… every couple says this to me. It’s TOTALLY normal to be nervous or unsure of what you’re getting yourself into. Just know that I have had the privilege of photographing many couples over the past few years, and I have crafted my experience around what works best and benefits you two the most. I’ve also created a cheeky guide to help you plan and prep for your session, it’s shipped to you once you’ve booked, along with some other goodies.

When it comes to your session date, we start off slow, chatting or having a drink together. I like to spend the first little bit of our time together just being social. Even after I pick up my camera, it’s still very casual. We save the nudity for later on.

I recommend you bring a casual outfit, an riskier outfit or just undies, and of course, your birthday suits. You are welcome to bring as many options as you’d like, but 3 outfit changes are typically what works best. I can help you choose them while we chat too!

Ok, now i’m ready….head to my website to inquire

” Wow, I cannot say enough amazing things about Megan. She shot a steamy couples session for me and my partner, and the photos…. are INSANE. I am over the moon with the final images. You can tell she put so much hard work into the editing, they are all so beautiful.”
Pauline Holden

I still have a few questions… Where are we doing this?

I highly recommend booking a short term rental through AirBnb or VRBO for your shoot, turn it into a getaway weekend and soak up some alone time together. This way, you can drink or enjoy other substances and not have to go anywhere after.

You can also use your own space and rent a hotel room or a studio space for the day. OR if you really love the outdoors, we can do that as well. There are NO RULES around where we create; you can mix and match and even do both indoor and outdoor.

For outdoors, especially anywhere that is public property, I can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to include nudity in your session.

A few details about your Couples Boudoir Shoot

A few ways I make this more comfortable.

Music, I usually ask you to prepare your favourite tunes
Drinks + Snacks, always nice to take a break and re hydrate
Guided rather than prompted, I will help get you situated and “pose” you two, but I really love to just allow you to interact with one another, rather than prompt you to do things.
Lots of communication, by the time you get to your session, we’ve chatted so much I won’t feel like a stranger.
