The Boudoir Experience
Friendly atmosphere, guided sessions and nothing but love.
SCROLL TO CONTINUE
Want to do a Bridal Boudoir session and give an album as a Groom Gift?
Please book as early as possible.
Every year I turn away multiple disappointed brides because they leave their session too close to their wedding.
In order to guarantee getting your photo book out to you and give you time to plan and book your shoot ideally you would book it at least 3 months out from the date of your wedding. At a minimum I need a week to turn around your images. Albums can take up to 1 month from order to delivery depending on which type of album is selected because of production time.
The Process
Booking & Preparation
Choose your date and decide if you would like hair and makeup. You'll receive a Welcome Email and Prep Guide + the wardrobe stylist will be in touch to answer any specific questions. You can send me inspiration images which we can discuss. You can also select your studio location or you can let me know and I can pick it for you.
01
Session
From the minute you show up to the studio I will guide you every step of the way to make sure you feel confident and look your best.
02
Photo Delivery
Photos will be delivered 2-3 weeks after the session. You can choose which photos you'd like, and then create prints or albums.

$250 + tax
1. I may do mini sessions if I get enough interest. I feel that with boudoir I need at least 40 minutes for my clients to get warmed up - a 20 minute boudoir mini session just wouldn't work so please don't expect the same price as my 20 minute minis! If you are interested please enquire and if I get enough interest I'll put something together.
2. I often do social media model calls. These are free sessions that include a set number of images in exchange for use of video and images in social media, website, newsletter, and Pinterest. You do not get to take a look at the images before they are published or veto or ask for changes. If that interests you, please get in touch and follow me on my boudoir Instagram where I'll do the announcements.

FAQ - Albums
I'd like to give an album on my wedding day. How far in advance should I book my session.
Here is a general timeline:
2-3 weeks for photo delivery
2-3 weeks for client to select photos and create an album (the is of course up to you!)
9-20 days album production time
5-7 days shipping
In general, I recommend three months in advance if you have the time. I recommend getting in touch when you start looking for your wedding dress which is usually at least 6 months out. This gives you time to select a date and have time to prep.
What are my album options?
Most albums have a minimum of 20 pages and need in general 20 photos. Your package includes 10.
Your Options:
1. Purchase an additional 10 images (or more) and create an album on your own.
2. Create an album through the gallery. You do not need to purchase individual images to create your album through your online gallery.
How much do albums cost?
If you create an album through your gallery, I currently have two different types of albums and pricing ranges from a starting price of $125- $175 + tax for a 20 page, linen hardcover book to $350 - $600+ tax for a 20 page lay flat album.
Kind Words
My boudoir shoot with Michelle was an absolute dream! She made me feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful. Michelle gave me tons of direction and made me laugh throughout the whole photo session - I hardly remembered that I was almost naked! This is a day and experience that I will always remember. Looking at how amazing my photos turned out, I can now see myself in a new light. When I look at these photos, I see a confident, empowered, and stunning version of myself. I aspire to feel like this more and more in my everyday life. Would absolutely recommend Michelle Little Photography to anyone who is interested in feeling this good!
It was super fun working with Michelle. I was relaxed during my session and felt supported in posing and styling for my session. It was hard to narrow down my images! So many nice shots to choose from, above and beyond my expectations.
I was really nervous about doing a boudoir photoshoot. On the day of I wasn't feeling my best and considered postponing the shoot, but I'm so glad that I didn't. The makeup artist Brittany did an amazing job with my makeup and gave me a look that made me feel really confident. And Michelle was amazing- I thought that posing would be super awkward, but she walked me through it step by step and I ended up with photos that I love. If you're on the fence about doing a boudoir shoot, just do it!

You are WORTH it right now just as you are.
Can I get hair and makeup?
FAQ
Yes, this can be added on. I recommend it because it gives you time to settle in and get to know us and the studio. It also adds to the whole pampering experience. It is optional.
What do I wear?
I tackle this two ways:
1. I provide you with a guide breaking down outfit options.
2. You have a 1:1 consult by email or phone with a local stylist to answer all your questions or help you source items.
I am so nervous. I won't know what to do! Will you help?
Every session is fully guided.
I will go into every pose first so you can see exactly what it looks like. Once you get into the pose I will adjust it until it's perfect.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions take place in my studio at 5524 St-Patrick. There is a parking lot ($6 weekdays, free on weekends). Details are given once the session is booked. If you prefer an in-home session this may be possible. Due to the nature of the photography outdoor sessions are not possible.
I want really sexy photos. Can you do this?
Do you shoot male boudoir or couples?
I can do sexy, but I won't do overtly erotic. What you see in my portfolio is a good guide to go by. If you are unsure the best thing to do is create a Pinterest board and send it to me.
No. I'm sure there are a lot of amazing boudoir photographers that do this but I'm not one of them.
YOU ARE WORTH IT. And I am your Portrait & Boudoir Photographer.
Being a Portrait & Boudoir Photographer is about celebrating YOU. It's about empowerment and confidence. It's about creating beautiful art that you will have for all time.
And yeah, you will look absolutely amazing as well.
I know that it can be TOUGH to stand in front of a camera, and this is why I will GUIDE YOU every step of the way to make sure you have an amazing experience from enquiry to delivery. I want your experience to be magical and transformative. I want you to feel amazing.
