Who will be taking my pictures?

Your photos will be taken and retouched by Natalie Kita, owner of INTIMATEIMAGES. As a professional
photographer, licensed makeup artist, and former actress and model, Natalie's diverse experience comes
together to produce one simple end result: She knows how to bring out and capture the natural beauty and
sensuality in every woman. Natalie firmly believes that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors...and
every woman is a work of art!


What is Boudoir/Glamour Photography?

Very broadly stated, both of these two terms usually refer to photographs of women, taken with one goal in
mind: to capture the woman in a way that portrays her at her most beautiful, sexy, and glamorous. Styles can
vary from the soft lighting and draping of classic boudoir, to the sensuousness of a Victoria's Secret layout, to
the glossy, overtly sexy centerfold approach (think Maxim or Playboy), to a naturalistic "girl-next-door"
approach, to the artistic feel of a starkly lit black and white gallery nude, to the playful "retro" pin-up style (i.e.,
the "Vargas girls") to the darkly erotic and provocative genre of fantasy and fetish photography...and don't
forget how much fun some sexy pre-wedding bridal portraits can be as a gift for the groom!

Natalie enjoys and employs bits and pieces from all of these styles, fusing glamour and boudoir into her work
according to each woman's own vision for her photos. She will talk with you and learn what it is you want your
pictures to say as well as how you want them to look. She will find out for what and for whom the pictures are
being taken, and work with you accordingly to achieve the desired result.


Why would I want Glamour Boudoir Photos?

Many women get these types of pictures done as a gift for a significant other, but many also get them just for
themselves---to commemorate a certain time in their lives, or an achievement of some kind. Some women even
use them to try to break into glamour modeling, or to submit them to certain magazines for publication. Some
women just want to capture a moment in time...because let's face it, no matter how old we are right now, none
of us are getting any younger! Some women are even looking for photos to spice up online dating profiles. It's
up to you why you want these pictures done. It's up to your photographer to make them as beautiful as they
can be! Either way, we all want and deserve to have something that makes us feel beautiful, sexy, and
glamorous, don't we?


Why should I choose INTIMATEIMAGES for my glamour boudoir photos?

First, there's the comfort of knowing that a woman will be the only one taking/editing your pictures. As a
woman, Natalie fully understands the insecurities that we all have about our bodies and our looks. She knows
how intimidating it can be to be photographed (especially when wearing very little clothing) and she will do
everything in her power to make sure you not only look fantastic, but that you truly feel comfortable throughout
the process.

As a photographer, Natalie takes full advantage of the artistic flexibility and technological advances that digital
photography has to offer in order to help make your shoot a most pleasant and rewarding experience.

As a former model, Natalie has a unique understanding of posing techniques that are guaranteed to bring out
your best features and camouflage those pesky little flaws (not that you have any, right?) And with Natalie's
skill in digital image processing, you can be airbrushed to the same polished perfection that is bestowed upon
the world's top models! (You didn't really think they look that perfect in real life, did you?)

As an experienced, talented, licensed makeup artist, Natalie can provide you with professional makeup
designed to make you look your best on camera---at a cost that is far less than paying for a separate makeup
artist, with an even better result because your makeup artist will automatically know exactly what look your
photographer is going for!


What if I'm just not photogenic? AND/OR What if I am a little (or a lot) overweight?

A talented photographer truly can change your perception about whether or not you are "photogenic". Proper
strategic uses of lighting, posing, wardrobe, makeup, props, sets, and a little retouching can help create
gorgeous photos of any woman that she will quite simply fall in love with! Invariably, Natalie's clients are
stunned to see how beautiful they really do look in their photos. Real women are NOT perfect...but here's a
little secret---neither are models! They just work with really good photographers, makeup artists, and digital
airbrush wizards...and now you can work with the same top professionals, all rolled into one, when you choose
Natalie Kita Photography for your boudoir/glamour photos.


What will happen in my session?

When you arrive, you will have a short talk session with Natalie to ask questions and express any concerns.
Then the session will be planned and set up with regards to wardrobe, props, and sets. YOU decide how much
skin you want to show, and just how sensual (or not) you want your shots to be. It is absolutely possible to take
some very sexy shots, while showing a minimum of skin! If you do choose to pose nude or semi-nude, you will
be provided a robe to wear in between set-ups (unless you have brought your own). Your session will be totally
private, and a separate private changing area will be provided for wardrobe changes upon request. Natalie will
direct you on how to pose for the shots you are trying to achieve. Depending on which package you choose,
you will need to plan on spending anywhere from 1 1/2 hr - 5 hours with Natalie for your session.


How long does it take to get my pictures?

The answer to this question can vary depending on the time of year. (Busiest times are the months leading up
to Christmas and Valentine's Day.) As a general guideline, it is ideal to schedule your session for at least 2
months before you need your final prints. Anything requiring less than one month is subject to a "RUSH"
charge. Proofing and printing take time. What takes much more time, though, is retouching. Natalie does a

full glamour airbrush
retouch on all final prints. This is time-consuming and labor intensive. This is
also one of the things that sets Natalie Kita Glamour & Boudoir apart from the competition. If you love the
photos on this website, Natalie's retouching expertise is a big part of the reason why.


Why are these pictures more expensive than Glamour Shots? (or Sears Photo Studio, or Joe's
Photography)

When you invest in professional boudoir / glamour portraits, you are paying for a particular photographer's
time, talent, reputation, professionalism, and discretion. As with everything else you purchase in life, you are
also paying for that photographer's equipment, studio, advertising, and printing costs. If you are happy with
having glamour portraits done in a more public setting like a mall, then that's fine. If you are happy with the
"canned" poses and fuzzy filters applied to your final portraits, that's fine. If you instead are looking for the kind
of highly personal service delivered by Natalie Kita Glamour & Boudoir, and everything that goes with that, then
the prices are what they are. A lot of time and talent goes into creating the beautiful images you see here on
the website, and lot of time and talent will go into creating your photos as well.

INTIMATEIMAGES is not the most expensive boudoir photography studio around (by far). In fact, we offer many
different
packages, priced to fit just about every budget. However, if you're looking for the cheapest option,
while we understand your desire for value, you are welcome to look elsewhere.
INTIMATEIMAGES prices are
non-negotiable.


Can I make substitutions with your packages?

The short answer is no. However, I will be happy to create a custom package for you if that's what you want, but
please do not ask me if you can add hotbooks or calendars to packages that specifically state these items are
not available. The packages that do include these items are priced as they are not merely because of the cost
of printing a book or calendar. They are priced that way because these items contain more pictures. More
pictures means a longer and more elaborate photo shoot, and a LOT more time spent retouching.


Will you come to my location for my shoot?

Yes, I do offer on location shoots. However, the best results, quite simply, are usually obtained in my studio.
Only in the studio can I offer the variety of backdrops and sets, as well as total control over the lighting. Often,
other locations really don't even have enough space to get the best images possible. If you do require me to
come to your location, there is an additional fee of $100 for location set-up, PLUS any applicable travel fees
(depending on distance traveled). It is recommended to not do a location shoot if you are purchasing any
package which contains over 20 finished pictures.


Do you shoot in black and white?

Welcome to the magical age of digital photography. All pictures are shot in color, but can be easily transformed
to black & white, sepia-tone, or a variety of digital effects with the click of a mouse. Once you see your proofs,
just let me know if you would like any of them to be printed in black and white, and Voila....it's done.


Can I bring a friend to my shoot?

It is best to come to your shoot alone. Many people think they will be more comfortable with a friend along.
However, often it is the opposite. Instead of simply worrying about what they look like for the camera, they find
themselves now concerned about what they look like from their friend's angle as well. This tension makes
posing more difficult and can result in sub-par pictures. That having been said, if you feel you MUST bring a
friend, please make it a female friend. Boyfriends or husbands are not permitted on the shoot unless they are
part of it.

If you really want to do something with your friends or significant other, consider a
couple's shoot (works
with girlfriends too) or a
pin-up party.


Will my pictures end up on your website?

Absolutely not, unless you voluntarily give me your written permission to use your photos by signing a model
release. All of my clients are given the opportunity to sign a model release (or NOT). If you don't sign it, I don't
show your pictures to anyone. End of story.


How far in advance do I need to book my session?

That depends on the time of year, and your flexibility as to the day and time of your shoot. If you are flexible as
to the day and time, a same week appointment may be able to be accommodated. However, it you need a
specific day and time, you will want to call perhaps months in advance. Weekend appointments are not only
subject to an additional fee ($50 for Saturdays, $100 for Sundays), but must be booked well in advance.


How does this all work?

When you decide to book a session with Natalie, she will take you through a pre-shoot phone consultation to
discuss wardrobe, hair and makeup, props, and set-ups, and to schedule your shoot. During this consultation,
you will be told what you need to do and bring the day of your shoot, depending on which package you decide
to book. A $100 non-refundable deposit is require to hold your shooting date, and is applied toward whichever
package you decide to purchase.

Most sessions take place in Natalie's studio in Bear, DE. However, arrangements can be made at an additional
cost to shoot at your location, or on the beach, etc.


What should I bring with me to my shoot?

This is highly individual and will be discussed in your pre-shoot consultation. For some great ideas to stir your
imagination, see Natalie's
tips for great pics.


When and how do I pay?

There is a $100 deposit require to hold your shoot date. That can be paid via any major credit card over the
phone, or through
paypal. Your remaining balance is due on the day of your shoot and may be paid with a
major credit card or cash only.


I'm still nervous. How can I get over that to pose for these pictures?

Most ladies get over their nervousness fairly quickly once their session begins. (Sometimes a glass of wine
helps, so feel free to bring some.)  I will do everything possible to make sure you're comfortable. 99.9% of
women end up having the time of their lives at their photo shoot! Rest assured that you may reveal as little or
as much as you want during your session. I am not about talking anyone into anything that makes her
uncomfortable. Still unsure? Read
