HEY THERE, GORGEOUS!
Welcome! This guide is going to walk you through the process of what to expect with a boudoir shoot with Moonlight and Lace Boudoir and what exactly boudoir is. I am excited to get you in the studio and create magic! If you have any questions after reading this, please feel free to reach out and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
The guide is very thorough... which means it's not necessarily short! Sit down, grab a glass of wine and read this until the very end.
Boudoir photography celebrates the essence of sexuality and empowerment. While gifting an album to your partner is a wonderful idea, remember that this experience is primarily about YOU. It's time to unleash your inner Boss Babe and own your boudoir session.
Allow yourself permission to feel sexy and have fun! Throughout the session, we'll focus on three things:
Brains - Embrace your intelligence and confidence.
Beauty - Discover and celebrate your unique beauty.
Booty - Feel empowered by your body and embrace your curves.
This experience is all about self-expression and self-love. Embrace it fully and let your inner strength shine through!
Questions? I got you!
Where are you located?
ARRIVAL AND PREPARATION
Start your day at 10 AM, so be sure to arrive on time. Studio Sessions are Monday - Friday.
Come with clean, completely dry hair and clean, moisturized face so we can get to work!
Block off your schedule from around 10 AM to at least 4:00-4:30 for your session date.
MAKEOVER TIME
Upon arrival, we'll take a before picture to document your stunning transformation.
We'll turn on some great music and begin with your full professional makeover, which usually takes 60-90 minutes.
Our talented makeup artists can create anything from simple and sexy to full-on glam, based on your preferences.
OUTFIT SELECTION
After the makeover, our hair/makeup artist will leave, and we'll take a few minutes to go through the outfits you brought and some we've prepared for you.
Don't worry; we'll send you pre-shoot information to help you prepare and know what to bring.
Our studio has an extensive client closet with over 300 pieces, ranging from sizes Small to 5XL, to ensure you have plenty of options to feel sexy and confident.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
The next step is the exciting photoshoot! We'll spend around 90 minutes exploring various sets and looks to capture your best angles and personality.
POSING AND GUIDANCE
Don't stress about posing or looking sexy – we've got you covered. We will guide you into poses and assist with facial expressions to bring out your best self in the photos.
Expect to laugh and have fun as we create beautiful images together!
Our studio is located at 47 W. Main Street Waynesboro, PA 17268. We have over 2700 square feet with multiple set ups, a makeup and wardrobe room, and a fabulous sales area full of samples where you can view your images during your viewing session. Our stdio is full of gorgeous natural light, hardwood floors, and hand selected decor by yours truly.
It's like your own secret wonderland, where you can embrace your inner goddess and rock your confidence like a superstar. Boudoir is all about celebrating YOU – an intimate escape to a realm of self-love and playfulness. Picture a dreamy bedroom or a luxurious dressing room filled with laughter, fabulous outfits, and captivating vibes. And hey, let's not forget about the magical art of boudoir photography! Boudoir is NOT pornographic.
So... strike a pose, flaunt your sassiness in stunning lingerie, and let those alluring images immortalize your unique beauty. It's time to unleash your fierce, fabulous, and fun-loving self in the most delightful and empowering way imaginable!
With our all female staff you're in good hands, and we can't wait for your shoot!
At our boudoir portrait sessions, we aim to capture your essence as you are now. Boudoir is a beautiful gift you can give yourself - a collection of amazing portraits to remind you of the strong, beautiful woman you truly are. It's about boosting your self-esteem and confidence, celebrating your femininity and sexuality, which can often be lost in the busyness of life. Boudoir portraits will be a cherished reflection of the bodacious babe you are.
Our focus is on highlighting your best features and making you feel beautiful just as you are. We provide expert hair and makeup styling, along with a wardrobe that complements your figure. Through skillful lighting and posing techniques, we aim to flatter your body and emphasize your assets. However, we believe in showcasing the real you and avoid heavy photoshopping. Our goal is to capture your natural beauty and help you see how stunning you are at this very moment.

I felt more comfortable in my skin...
I’ve never been the most confident when it comes to my looks or my body. Over the last couple of years my weight ballooned which didn’t help at all. About a year ago I had made the decision to get healthier, which led to my dropping a decent amount of weight. At the point of my shoot, I was still not feeling the greatest and struggled with connecting what others saw-namely the talented one behind the camera. Quickly and to my surprise, I felt more comfortable in my skin….and the time flew by! Sure, I was nervous about what would come across when I would see the final products, but at the same time I was excited too. Man!! Let me tell you how blown my mind was (and continues to be) with the final pictures!! So, if you have any doubts, don’t hesitate!! DO IT!!

She knew exactly how to pose me
Ladies...if you haven't booked your session yet, do so IMMEDIATELY! I just got done shooting and omg I am on such a high!!! Let's start with the client closet-- Holy stromboli, so many choices and plenty to flatter all shapes and sizes! Emily did an amazing job on my old hollywood/pin up makeup and hair, I felt so glamorous!! And of course, Deanna was a DREAM COME TRUE!!! She is truly an artist! I was very nervous as I am plus sized and very self conscious, but she knew exactly how to pose me. Not to mention how much she hypes you up!! I felt like a freakin' super model!! She puts you at ease, gives you honest opinions and feedback and recommendations. I can't wait to get my album and surprise my hubby!

She quickly becomes your friend, your sister, your cheerleader.
Deanna Kelbaugh is a talented, professional photographer. She is Kind, Happy and always Smiling. She is interested in your thoughts and ideas for your session, helping you choose the best options for You. She quickly becomes your friend, your sister, your cheerleader. Any anxieties you feel are soon forgotten as the session moves along swiftly - listening to music catered to your taste, playing dress-up and posing like a supermodel with your professionally styled hair and makeup. My review of photos was special as she allowed my husband to sit in to choose his favorite photos for his birthday/anniversary Surprise Album. The turn around time for my album was 18 days from photo shoot to delivery. The Album is Beautiful and Mr is HAPPY! I Highly Recommend Moonlight + Lace Boudoir and Deanna Kelbaugh

What our clients are saying...
"So glad I booked with Deanna!
She was super professional and is the best hype women! My hair and make-up was flawless and I got to view my photos the same day (they looked amazing)! After having 3 children I've struggled with loving myself (inside and out) but I left her studio with the most confidence i've ever had. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!"
