Why I Charge a Session Fee Separate from Prints and Products at Trillium and Fir Photography
At Trillium and Fir Photography, my mission is to provide a luxurious and empowering boudoir experience that leaves you feeling confident and beautiful. Part of delivering this high-end experience involves the structure of how I charge for sessions and products. You may wonder why the session fee is separate from the cost of prints and products. Allow me to explain the value that the session fee provides, as well as the reasons for this pricing model.
The Experience Begins with the Session Fee
The session fee is much more than a simple cost for taking photos. It covers everything necessary to provide you with a premium, personalized experience from start to finish.
Studio Time in Downtown Vancouver, WA
My studio, located in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, WA, is a private and professional space designed to make you feel comfortable and at ease during your session. From lighting to set design, every aspect is tailored to create stunning images that reflect your unique beauty. The studio’s upkeep, professional equipment, and personalized settings are all included in the session fee.Professional Hair and Makeup
Every boudoir session includes professional hair and makeup styling to ensure you look and feel your absolute best. I work with talented artists who are experienced in creating looks that enhance your natural beauty while matching the style of your session. This service is a key part of helping you feel confident in front of the camera, and it’s all included as part of your session fee.Access to the Client Closet
Boudoir is about showcasing your beauty in a way that makes you feel empowered. To assist with that, I offer a carefully curated client closet filled with luxurious lingerie pieces. This saves you from the stress of shopping for outfits, and allows you to choose from a range of styles designed to suit various body types and personal tastes.Expert Posing Guidance
Posing can be one of the most intimidating aspects of a boudoir shoot, but you don’t need to worry about how to stand or where to look. I provide expert posing guidance throughout the session, ensuring that every shot flatters your figure and captures your personality. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and confident, so you can enjoy the experience without stress.In-Person Reveal and Ordering Session
After your session, we’ll schedule an in-person reveal, where you get to see your stunning images for the first time. This is often the most exciting part of the entire process! During this reveal, I will help you choose your favorite images, discuss the products available, and guide you in creating custom albums, wall art, or print packages.
Prints and Products: Why They Are Sold Separately
The second part of the investment is your prints and products. These are sold separately, starting at $799. By keeping these items separate from the session fee, you’re able to customize your experience to fit your personal needs. Whether you want a few high-quality digitals or a luxury album, you have the flexibility to choose what best showcases your images and suits your budget.
Custom artwork like albums and wall prints are heirloom-quality products that are meant to last a lifetime. They require premium materials, craftsmanship, and time to create. This is why prints and products are not included in the session fee—they are separate, highly specialized, and tailored to your vision.
Your Investment in Yourself
At Trillium and Fir Photography, my pricing structure reflects the care and attention I give to every step of the boudoir experience. The session fee covers all the tools and services that make your time with me unforgettable, while prints and products are separate so you can choose what works for you.
Boudoir photography is a personal and powerful investment in yourself, and it’s one that I take seriously. I’m here to make sure every part of your experience, from the shoot to the final images, leaves you feeling beautiful, empowered, and completely satisfied.
