meet your photographer
i’m tay & boudoir to me is about so much more than beautiful photos.
Boudoir is a form of self-expression. It is freeing, it is empowering, & it is a way to celebrate who you are right now.
Good Bodies is a trauma-informed boudoir studio that focuses on photographing marginalized folks. We pose for mobility, not size and we’re here to show that EVERY body is a good body. We’re so glad you’re here.
client love
I had an incredible boudoir experience with Good Bodies!
Everything was communicated so well and clearly in advance, they made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, and it was a really empowering experience. Love that you can pick looks from their extensive closet and the makeup and hair being part of the packages is sooo important to look and feel your best!

PrEpping for your goOd bodies session
Groom yourself to your liking. Things like body hair are encouraged if that’s your day to day!
If you like to have your hair and nails done, then this is a great excuse to go do it!
EAT.
No shredding for
anything here!
Drink plenty of water because, again, we’ll be moving a lot!
Make sure to stretch!
A session can be like a small yoga class.
Complete your pre-session questionnaire
and keep your mailing address updated.
Wear some loose fitting faves on the way to your session to avoid clothing marks in your photos.

SelectIng LingerIe
grab our free lingerie guide
Struggling to find lingerie for your session? There’s always the client closet. Our client closet comes in sizes XS-6X. We have over 275 pieces to choose from tota, and we're adding new pieces all the time from client requests in our pre-session questionnaire.
During your session, you will pose in 3 outfits total. If you choose to pose in the sheets and/or nude, that will be our last stop of your session and it does not count as one of your three outfits.
I absolutely encourage purchasing some pieces for yourself, even if you don’t use them. Walk around the house in them, see what feels right, find what you love and return the rest.

you don’t need to bring a single thing
Products take 4-6 weeks to arrive after your final payment is made. You will be contacted once they arrive and will be able to pick them up from the studio or they can be delivered/shipped to your home. We've had people come from all over the US to have their sessions, so we are able to get your products to wherever you are!
products are in!
You've got two options for your reveal. We can either hop on a video call and go through your images together, which is great for folks who need direction and input or I can send over a gallery that will be open for 72 hours to make your product decisions. This is perfect for folks who need time to think and digest on their own. With either decision, your photos will be available to view within one week from your session date.
your reveal
Your session is a collaborative effort between you & I. We move at your comfort level. Fill out our contact form, and we'll either hop on a call or continue the conversation via e-mail. In order to officially get onto our schedule, you'll pay $500 + sign a contract and pick your collection. That $500 will go towards our $1500 minimum and you'll be able to pay in full, pay in installments between 3-12 months, or use Paypal Credit.
booking the session
Soon after signing your contract, you'll receive our most important document to prep for your session: your pre-session questionnaire. It'll ask about your model release, drink and music preferences, what your session vibe is, and a bunch more. I want you to be as prepared for your session as you can so everything I send your way is meant to make you feel empowered and confident in your decision to book with us.
getting ready
Hair & Make-up is included in every session. I strongly suggest you take advantage of it. It gives us time to get to know each other and chat to calm those nerves and you get to be pampered because we all know it's hard to find time as an adult. We can do natural make-up or something super glam, it's up to you and your comfort level. All of our stylists have experience with different skin types, complexions, etc.
session styling
Sessions are booked Tuesday & Thursday 10AM-1PM. You'll come in and start with hair & make-up. This takes 60-90 minutes. You'll have time to try on as much or as little in the client closet as you'd like. Once you've picked your 3 outfits (Nude/Sheet happens last and doesn't count as an outfit), we'll get to work. I'll show you every pose as we work together and once we're done, you'll get a closer look at our products and you'll choose how you'd like to view your images.
