Questions and Answers

How do I book?

To book, simply visit our contact page and we'll get started! Of, if you’re ready to select a date, visit our book now page. A contract and the retainer fee will lock in your date and make us official. After this, the fun begins — it’s time to plan your session!

How far in advance do I book?

We recommend booking 3-8 months in advance. Our studio is currently booking through 2025. If you're doing a session as a wedding gift, we recommend booking that’s about 2-3 months before your wedding to give your album time to arrive.

Do you offer payment plans?

Custom payment plans are available for all products and collections. Payment plans take place before your shoot and must be paid off no more than 3 days before your session. All in-house payment plans have zero interest.

Is partial and full nudity allowed?

If you’re comfortable, YES. We photograph full nudes all the time during solo boudoir sessions.

However, The Bella Nova Studio has a NO FULL NUDITY policy in regards to couples sessions. Only lingerie and partial nudity (i.e. topless) is allowed. Both parties must have some sort of underwear on at all times. We DO NOT photograph erotica.

What is the reschedule/cancellation policy?

All reschedule/cancellation policies will be clearly laid out in our studio contract. To sum it all up: cancellation/reschedule fees only start to apply 30 days before your session. The closer to your session date, the higher the fee as we’ve already paid our stylists and lost that date for other potential clients.

Do you photograph solo men?

At this time, our studio does not photograph solo mens’ sessions. We only photograph women and couples.

What is a viewing and ordering appointment?

The viewing and ordering appointment takes place in-person, one hour after your session. This is the time where you will see your photos for the first time and select your images that go within your pre-purchased package.

Do you offer digital images?

Digital images are included in all of our collections. We also offer digital-only collections. Additional pricing details will be provided when you get in touch.

Can I bring a friend to my session?

You are more than welcome to bring one female friend or family member to your boudoir session. Our studio policy limits guests to one additional individual in order to avoid distractions. We prefer they step out during the session itself, but they are welcome to stay during hair/makeup and the image viewing.
