Why eye candy?

Eye Candy portraits grew out of the simple idea of having sexy, couture images to show your significant other & to knock his socks off. They turned into so much more – an expression of the sexy vixen buried deep within, a time to feel incredibly comfortable in your own skin, and letting your inner diva shine through a totally pampered experience. Many clients infuse their shoot with a glamorous, hi-fashion look and walk away with stunning images they can also share with their family & friends.

Eye Candy portraits may not be for everyone, but they are anything but scary. While you are preparing for your shoot, we exchange more than witty banter; I get to know you and understand the types of images that you are looking for. We discuss how I shoot & how to get the most naturally alluring poses. I will guide you through the entire shoot – you are never left alone to stare awkwardly into the camera.

Where are the images shot?

I have a private home studio located in Valley Ranch/N. Irving, which is halfway between Dallas & Fort Worth. There are four distinct shooting rooms – The Runway, The Loft, The Boudoir, and Vintage Glam – which give me variety of looks & opportunities to compliment the outfits & accessories that you bring. There is also a dressing room for your convenience and privacy.

How do I prepare for my session?

A list of pre-session prep items can be found here.

How long does it take?

Mini-sessions are on hour in length, otherwise, sessions last between two to three hours. I begin by getting to know you & understanding what kind of images you are looking for, getting that glam makeup just right & talking about all of the great shoes you have brought with you.

How & when can I schedule an appointment? 

Eye Candy portraits are shot on weekdays, Monday through Friday. Both morning and early evening session are available.

To schedule a session or consultation, email the studio or call 972.824.5519. I am more than happy to meet with you before your session to show you the studio and additional samples. Directions to the studio are sent the week before the session or meeting in a confirmation email.

How should I arrive?

Come with a clean, moisturized face. If you are having your hair styled, it should be clean & product free. Please do not straighten your hair if you wish to have it curled for the session. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes with a top that zips or buttons so you don’t have to pull it over your perfectly coiffed hair.

How long does it take to get the goods?

Images are ready for preview online within 2 weeks of your portrait session. They will be presented in a secure, password-protected online gallery.

Personal viewings are also available upon request.

Albums & other specialty products can take up to 2-3 weeks to create, print & bind. I highly recommend that you allot at least 4 weeks before the special occasion to receive your product in time.

All products will be available for pickup from the studio. Shipping is available  for a flat $50 fee for albums and prints 8×10 and smaller. Shipping for large prints & canvases will require a custom quote to ensure proper packaging & handling.

Are images retouched?

Online images receive basic retouching - you will never see anything in the images that will make you self-conscious about your appearance. Any orders (prints, albums, and specialty products) will be further retouched before printing. Items that incur an additional retouch fee: severe tan lines, uneven/splotchy spray tans, sunburns, unwanted tattoos, and severe acne.

How many outfits should I bring? 

Bring several outfits that you not only feel good – but great – in. To really give it a personal touch, you can bring one of his work shirts and ties or a favorite team jersey. Corsets are a great choice and look fantastic on everyone. I also suggest bringing several pairs of fun panties that we can pair up with the accessories that I have in the studio such as rose petals, masks, & fur wraps. You can find additional ideas here. I also have suggestions for places to shop for unique lingerie items.

Where do my images go? 

You may opt to give me full, partial or no release of your images. Any images used on my blog or my website will be done so with your written a-ok. All of images and products, with the exception of extra large prints & canvases, are printed in the studio.

What types of payment do you accept? 

Cash, check (payable to Lynn Michelle Photography), & all major credit cards are accepted. Full payment is required the day of the session, right before the session commences.

Anything else I should know? 

All images are for the client’s personal use only Lynn Michelle Photography does not provide Eye Candy/boudoir images for commercial usage. This includes, but is not limited to, advertising or personal promotional materials via print or internet.

Heard any good excuses? 

I am going shopping with my bridesmaids.

I went to the MAC counter and she INSISTED on doing my makeup.

Shhh. Just take me out to dinner.
