FAQ

Satin Angel Studios is based in Columbus, Ohio close to the Polaris Mall area. We are also available for destination sessions as well and can travel to you worldwide. For information on destination session please contact us.

The majority of our shoots are done in our gorgeous studio in Columbus, Ohio; however, we also do “Boudie Calls” where we bring our studio to your home or even a luxury hotel suite with fashionable decor suitable for our stylish shoots. Inquire about on location pricing.

Your privacy is always respected before, during and after your boudoir shoot. The only people on set are Rhonda, Eddie and sometimes an additional hair or make-up artist. During your session only Rhonda and Eddie are present. Both shoot, but primarily Rhonda shoots the sessions and Eddie does the incredible lighting. If at any time you are uncomfortable with Eddie being in the room, he will set the lighting and leave the session area. Your comfort is always first! This is your time to shine and we don’t want anything or anyone interfering with that. Extra eyes can make you feel a bit more self conscious, so we limit that for your comfort level. This also applies to anyone you might consider bringing to your session. The only people we allow on set are people in the photo shoot. Husbands and boyfriends are not allowed… sorry. Trust me on this one, it never works. We need your full attention and they have a tendency to pull it away. Plus, having extra bodies there makes our job a bit more difficult with all of our equipment and props and the need to move freely during the session.

Yes, but only if you have both scheduled a shoot. While bringing a friend might sound like a good idea, it usually makes the subject (you) more self conscious, unless the friend is doing a photo session as well and has prepared the same way you have. Ask about our double make-overs for you and a friend!!!

From time to time we run specials or Gifts with Purchase options.  Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay updated about new specials and promotions.

The main difference is your wardrobe. Glamour sessions showcase your beauty in gorgeous attire such as dresses (from casual to formal), although pretty slips can look amazing as well. Boudoir sessions are geared more towards lingerie. Glamour sessions are generally just for the woman being photographed, while boudoir sessions are often gifted to a partner. Beauty sessions are great for your Facebook profile or dating web sites and are a complete celebration of your beauty. Both glamour and boudoir sessions show you at your very best.

Your privacy is held in the highest regard. Satin Angel Studios owns the copyright to all of the images we shoot (this is non negotiable). For boudoir sessions, you decide whether your images are to remain completely private or can be used in our portfolio of work in anonymous style images only or in their entirety. This option will be presented to when your sign your model release form.

None of the women on our site are models. You are seeing clients who are every day women with no experience in front of a camera on our website and our social media pages. However, we do have a knack for making the girl next door look like she walked off the pages of a glossy fashion magazine! In fact, after doing a session with us, don’t be surprised if you find yourself wanting to model for real! Because of this, most of our clients come back for shoots again and again. It’s quite addictive!

Yes, most clients are a bit nervous leading up to their session. This is perfectly normal. It’s excited energy though and you can rest assured that you will be surprised at how quickly the nerves are put to ease during your session. Being pampered by us is the first step towards relaxing you, then you will be in good hands during your shoot as we coach and direct you so you don’t have to worry about a single thing. It’s fun, you’ll see!

We know modeling is new for our clients and we are highly skilled at directing you to look your best. Rest assured, Rhonda` will be there to guide and coach you throughout the entire shoot.

Of course it is! Boudoir is for women of all shapes and sizes. Every woman has a unique beauty that we are thrilled to capture. We have a deep understanding of how to pose women in their most flattering angles and use lighting and retouching techniques to sculpt your body while highlighting your best assets. Don’t wait until you drop a dress size or two. Celebrate yourself now. You deserve it!

All photos ordered for product will most definitely be retouched. We do not allow un-retouched images to leave our studio. Digital retouching adds a certain magic to the photos. It’s the finishing touch on your work of art. Retouching not only enhances your beauty but also reduces imperfections.
We are flooded with retouched images of perfection on a daily basis by the media. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to see themselves this way too! We do not believe in heavy retouching though… we want the real YOU to shine through loud and clear.  Skin will glow and will be smoothed, blemishes & cellulite will be softened, eyes will sparkle and the image will pop as part of our basic retouching.  If you request extra retouching with one of our specialty programs to completely refine your image, body and face from head to toe there will be an extra charge for this, as it is incredibly time consuming. This could include such things as removing items in the background,  fixing spray tan color shift, tan lines, or removing tattoos, thinning your body or altering your shape, volumizing hair, fixing teeth or clothing just to name a few. Check out our Magical Transformations section for more information and examples.

Well, it begins with making sure you decide on wardrobe that you feel absolutely beautiful in. Make sure when you try it on that you practice poses other than standing to see how your body looks in different positions in each piece. If you are extra worried about this area, we encourage you to just go ahead and cover it up. There are gorgeous lingerie options that provide ample coverage now from shape wear to corsets and teddies, to slips. So, go ahead and experiment with different looks when selecting your lingerie.  We do retouch cellulite and stretch marks and gently reshape areas that might be protruding from undergarments that may push in, for instance,but to completely reconstruct an area like this digitally, we would need to charge retouching at a higher rate.

All sessions are processed in the order that they are taken. It takes up to 2 weeks to process all of the images and create a selection gallery for you to preview and order from. Once you select your final images for products then digital retouching generally takes 1 week to complete. Product vendors take approximately 2-6 weeks depending on the product ordered. We use the top labs in the country for printing and our Albums are absolutely exquisite! You will see examples of our products in our studio as well as sample pictures on our site.

PLEASE NOTE that these are the average processing times and factors such as my our shoot schedule and time of year may increase processing times. If you need your photos in a shorter time period there is Rush Service available for an additional fee. Please contact us for details.

You do not need to have prints made, although nearly all of our clients that thought they would not want prints changed their mind after seeing their portraits from their session. Satin Angel Studios owns the rights to all photos but we have a digital purchase option on a flash drive.

Yes. We want your session to be a collaboration of your ideas as well as ours so if you find inspiration online or from a fashion magazine, please email them to us or bring them to your session. Try not to go overboard with this though as it can get in the way of the flow of poses during your session. Please know that we will not duplicate a photo exactly. The lighting and style of the photo will be our vision but we can work on similar poses, expressions and wardrobe styling.  Feel free to look through our website gallery, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest boards for inspiration:

This is complimentary with every shoot! Having your hair and makeup done professionally is the most essential contribution to your shoot that we can make. You would never, ever see a model or actress enter a photo shoot without being made up by a makeup artist and hair stylist. Not only does the hair and make-up make you look gorgeous, it is the process of being beautified, being catered to and pampered that gets your mind and body ready for your special shoot. Remember this is YOUR time to look and feel like a star.

Sure!  There are some style techniques we employ on everyone, such as false eyelashes that we do for all sessions, but we are always open to your ideas. We want you to look and feel absolutely gorgeous, whether you specify the look you are going for or you leave it up to our vision for you.

This is generally not a good idea. We are trained specifically in applying makeup and doing hair for photography. This is an absolute art. Plus we help ease you into your photo shoot by pampering you beforehand. You wouldn’t want to miss out on that, now would you?

Please do not feel the need to do this. Spray tans do not read well on camera at all, and will cause your skin to look really orange and patchy.

Please tend to your nails with a mani-pedi. You want to look your absolute best from head to toe. Also, be sure to touch up any hair root growth, as your roots will be visible in some images. Waxing a few days prior is also nice. Please read our Preparing For Your Shoot section for more information on this.

We have an extensive boutique of clothing to choose from if you need to borrow  an extra outfit or two…or some of our shoes, jewelry and accessories, but please bring as many of your own selections as possible to accommodate your own personality and style.

Boudoir and Glamour sessions can be fully clothed, partially clothed, implied nude or fully nude. For the more demure, a Glamour session would be recommended.

People say it different ways in America but we pronounce it similar to how the French would say it: ‘BOODWAHR’.
