The Experience
How Long Should A Boudoir Session Last?
Boudoir photo shoots can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 6 hours. There are a few factors that determine how long the photo shoot will last.
- 01Is hair and makeup included?
- 02How many outfits will you wear?
- 03Is this a mini-session or a regular photo shoot?
- 04How experienced is the photographer?
My own sessions are 4 hours. The first 90 minutes are for hair and makeup styling. The next 2.5 hours are for shooting 4-5 outfits on different sets around the studio.
Check with your photographer during your consultation to find out how long your session will be and what is included.
