Boudoir session info & pricing

The Illuminate Boudoir photoshoot experience:

Most of my booking packages have the signature Illuminate Boudoir photoshoot experience, which includes planning before your session day, an incredible two-hour photoshoot (with time for 3-5 looks/outfits), and seeing your portraits the same day at your portrait reveal appointment! You’ll have approximately 60 final, edited images to choose from at your portrait reveal. You’ll plan your order for your final portraits/art collection at your portrait reveal appointment.

I also offer a simpler, pared-down boudoir session experience called Minimalist Sessions, which have a more condensed photoshoot, fewer final images to choose from, and a small collection of beautiful portraits.

For 2024 and 2025 sessions, my booking packages range from 900 - 3500, and most clients spend between 2000-4000 total between their booking package and final portraits/art collection. You can see my full price list inside my boudoir info/pricing guide (download it below!)

How to book a boudoir session

If you’re ready to book:

Send me an email to get started! You can use the form on my contact page or email me email directly at hello@illuminateboudoir.com. I’d love to hear a little bit about why you’d like to do a boudoir session with me, and the season or month when you’re hoping to schedule a session (I book most sessions 3-6 months out, but sometimes have last-minute openings and sometimes book up to a year out).

I’ll reply back with some info and a few date options for your photoshoot. My sessions generally take place on Wednesdays and Thursdays in my studio in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis, and are a full day experience from 8 or 9am until 5:30pm.

Once you’ve chosen a date, I’ll send a link to some quick online booking paperwork. You’ll sign a booking agreement, fill out a quick questionnaire, and pay for your booking package (if you’d like to do a payment plan just let me know!).

After the paperwork is complete, you’re officially booked! We’ll also schedule a pre-session planning phone call for sometime before your photoshoot so that we can talk through your ideas for a session, how you want to look and feel in your portraits, and chat through any questions you have.

Contact Alyssa to book!

If you have a medical reason why you’re not able to be vaccinated, reach out to me and we can talk about it. If you’re choosing not to be vaccinated, I will not be able to accommodate you in the studio at this time.
