The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Absolutely, although the majority of my clients travel to me to use my gorgeous and comfortable studio in Houston, TX.
How long have you been doing this?
I've been a photographer for over 10 years and with my company Tay Lee Photography, I photographed countless weddings, families, and seniors over the years. It wasn't until I ran my first boudoir minis marathon in January of 2021 that I realized my true photographic calling - boudoir. Boudoir fulfills me both as an artist and as someone that has always wanted to uplift, empower, and make a difference in women's lives. Besides being a wife and mother, I feel like it's my true purpose and calling in life.
How many photos do we get?
I usually end up with 50-70 final photos that I edit both a color AND a black and white version of for my clients to view and order products from (so double the number above for the TOTAL number of photos edited).
How do we get our photos?
We have an in-person Reveal and Ordering Session about 1 week after your session date where you will be able to see your gorgeous photos for the first time (my FAVORITE part), pick your favorites, and order your products (or alter a pre-paid order).
If you're traveling to me from out of town, we will have a virtual reveal session instead!
Do you retouch photos?
Absolutely, but nothing super crazy. I'll retouch any blemishes or temporary marks and spots on you, and I always do some skin smoothing, but you will still look like YOU. Just a fine art version of you.
How do we book you?
Head on over to the Contact page on this site and shoot me a message from there.
You'll receive a response within minutes with your next steps!
If you DON'T see an email response from me within 10 minutes after you submit your contact form, check your spam folder and/or Promotions tab (gmail) as I sometimes get sent there!
Whats your turn around time?
Only 1 week after your session, we will have an in-person Reveal and Ordering Session where you will get to be all heart eyes with me as we go through your final photos together.
If you're traveling to me from out of town, we will do a virtual reveal session 1 week after your session!
How far out do you book?
I book up to 12 months out and I only have a few spots each month, so it's never too early to book your date!
What should we wear?
Your outfits and looks should reflect YOU as a woman. Love the strappy lingerie and Red Bottoms look? Rock it, boo. More of a cotton panty and off-shoulder sweater babe? Freaking amazing. There is no wrong answer to what you should wear for your session. As long as it makes YOU feel beautiful, it's the right answer.
And if you need extra help, or just don't wanna bother with shopping, I have an extensive Client Wardrobe with 200+ pieces in sizes S-4XL available to you at your session that you can choose from as well. :)
Do you offer payment plans?
Yas, queen! This experience is an investment. A WORTHY investment in YOURSELF, but an investment nonetheless. I actually encourage enrolling in the Pre-Session Payment Plan for a couple reasons and both reasons are why they work for my clients and make their experience easier and more enjoyable.
One is the stress-relieving factor. When you preselect a collection and enroll in the payment plan, your product collection is broken up into weekly, biweekly, or monthly payments leading up to your session. This means you are all paid up by the time your session happens. So you get to have this amazing, pampering, empowering experience and leave RIDING that high. You are all paid up so you don’t have to worry about finances on YOUR day. One less thing to stress about!
Two is the BONUSESSSS! Clients that enroll in the Pre Payment Plan get to choose items from a list of amazing bonuses and freebies they get for their session. And the bonuses are either things you normally have to pay extra for the upgrade OR that aren’t even available for regular sessions - they’re exclusively for PPP clients.
You can't lose when you invest in yourself.
Can you help us with planning?
Ummm YAASSS! Part of this experience is all of the guidance and pre-shoot consultations I will provide you along the way. I am here for ANYTHING you need from the time you book until the day of your session. 100% luxury customer service, girl.
So, what's the investment look like for a Goddess Session?
To book, the Session Fee is $500 and is required to reserve a space on our calendar. Your Session Fee can be paid in full upon booking or split into 2 payments of $250. If the payment is split, the first half is due to reserve the session space on the calendar, the second half is due 2 weeks after. The Session Fee includes:
- One-on-One Pre-Session Phone Consultation
- Private use of the Boudoir Studio
- Professional Hair and Makeup
- Access to our 200+ piece Client Wardrobe
- 90 Minutes of Photography
- Complete Posing and Expression Coaching
- Minimum of 3 Wardrobe Changes
- 1-Hour Private, In-Person Reveal & Image Ordering Appointment (or virtual if you're traveling to me)
**All images are purchased separately from the Session Fee in collections that we offer and will be discussed at length during your phone consultation*
- Collections begin at $1,111 and customized, interest-free payment plan options are available for ALL of our gorgeous clients to take advantage of.
Do you ever have sales or discounts?
I don't do outright sales very often (usually only once a year for Spooky Season), BUT I do what I call "Boudie Calls" every so often and those come with a hefty discount. Boudie Calls are basically themed sessions that offer a significant discount to the client if they agree to sign a full model release for me so I can use their images in my marketing! It works to 1) fulfill my creative spark and show off some fun stuff and 2) give clients that don't mind me sharing their beauty a chance at a discounted session with me. And don't worry, even though it's discounted, it's still the full luxury goddess experience.
*Just a heads up, boo: I EXCLUSIVELY run these Boudie Calls in my VIP Facebook group and my newsletter subscriber email list. I always give my loyal goddesses first dibs at these limited edition sessions. So either joining our amazing Facebook group and/or subscribing to our email newsletter is the best way to stay up to date with everything I have going on!

"I need to lose weight / be more fit before I book a shoot."
I love that you want to improve your health, but the whole point of a boudoir session is to change the way you see yourself, and not to change your body to an ever-changing (and unrealistic) standard. You're perfect and beautiful as you are, babe.
