Default How Much Did Your Boudoir Photography Cost???

Do you mind telling me what you paid for your sexy photography poses, and what your package included? I would like to have a ball-park idea before I book mine! :) Thanks ladies!

I've been curious too!!! I've been searching for a photographer in Los Angeles and most of them are close to $1,000! I really had my heart set on taking BD pics, but now I'm not too sure because of the price.

I thought about booking a hotel room and was going to do my sisters pics, and she was gonna do mine, but I'm worried about the lighting, make-up ect. I would really like someone professional, but cannot afford $1,000 either!

I got a hotel for mine. But just for the photographer it was 220 for the base price. Then from there it goes up depending on what you want. Like if you want a copy of all the prints it is a set price, or a photobook or whatever. I love my pics! It almost sounds like it would be cheaper for you to fly a photographer in. What does the 1000 dollars include?
Mine was an hour and a half of pictures and hair and makeup aritist

The specific one I liked included hair, makeup, outfits (or you can bring your own) with two hours of shooting. They offered a few pages for free if you purchased a photobook. That was a little over $1,000. It's less if you excluded the hair, makeup and outfits, but from what I can tell on the pics their hair/makeup people and costumes were awsome (made the girls look like one of the Pussycat Dolls). There were cheaper ones, but the pics looked a little dated on the websites. I saw yours and they looked great!!! Maybe it's just the location, but those types of photo shoots are a lot here.

I'm sure if I keep looking I'll find cheaper rates. I don't have much time left before the wedding.....

Damn that is expensive! I had to bring my own outfits but still with buying all the stuff it was still a lot cheaper.

I just booked my Boudoir session!!!!!!!!! It was bizzare because right after posting this thread, this photographer (whom I was referred to from someone at work) called me and had GREAT prices! $50.00 sitting fee+ the pictures. I'm SO excited for this!!! It's booked for Oct. 6th!!! I'm planning on spending a few hundred dollars, NOT a few thousand LOL! I'll post pics when I have them! RebeccaMarie Photography

oooh Andrea - that's an awesome price!!!
You must be so excited :) I want to do them so badly, but don't have the funds... but I'll look around and see what I can get here.
I want to do engagement photos too, but we may get a friend to do them for us...
