Real Beauty

Charles Burkowski

"If you have the ability to love, love yourself first"

I'm a firm believer that "real" means the unapologetic version of you RIGHT NOW. Those stretch marks, those skin dimples, that cellulite are all REAL, and those are fucking beautiful! Embrace your body in all of it's glory, and the beautiful season of life that you're in right this second.  Don't let unrealistic standards of beauty that our society has bestowed upon us women rule your life anymore. Love your body right now! 

Girl, I get it, you're wondering what the hype about boudoir sessions are about, and let me tell you: It's the empowerment. It's the feeling you get when you see yourself in a new light. It's feeling like a total freaking badass in your skin because that girl in the photos? THAT'S YOU. That's a strong, powerful, brave women who deserves to love herself. 

Your privacy is my       

priority 

1. Your photos will never be posted without your consent

2. A signed model release is required to post your images. You'll see that your contract from me has the option to opt-out of the model release 

 3. You have complete control of your images. You have the right to revoke your model release at any time

I pride myself on being Chill, fun and easy to work with. I'll be your hype girl and guiding force during your entire session. But there's so much more that makes these sessions laid-back.

I use poses to guide you in looking completely natural by having you move your body. I'll direct you in what to do, but I want these images to look like you and show your personality. 

Last, (and this is a big one!) This session doesn't bring any pressure. That means your comfort is my top priority. There's no pressure to be nude, to show any more skin than you want, to change in front of me, to post your images on social media-- ANYTHING. NO PRESSURE. I'm here for YOU. 

Are all the girls on your site models?

Nope, not even close. some featured women are doing their first boudoir ever. 

What kind of outfits should I buy?

That really depends on what you want to wear! You should feel comfortable but empowered in whatever you wear to your shoot. 

Will you post my photos online?

Only if you want me to! In order for me to legally use your images for my website, instagram, facebook, etc., I have to have a signed model release from you. I'll also double check with you that it's ok to use your images at your shoot to make sure you're still okay with it. You can ask to have your images removed at any time.

What is a model release?

A model release is a document that allows me to use images that include you for marketing and posting on social media. Model releases are revokable at any time and must be signed in order for me to post your images. They're also completely optional! 

Do I need to lose weight before my shoot?

No.

What if I can't afford your prices?

 I GET IT, NOT EVERYONE HAS THE MEANS TO DO A BOUDOIR SHOOT, AND THAT'S OKAY. BUT I'VE TRIED TO MAKE THESE SHOOTS AS ATTAINABLE AS POSSIBLE BY OFFERING MINI SESSIONS several times a year AND PAYMENT PLANS ON FULL SHOOTS. 

How long does it take to get my photos back?

GALLERY DELIVERY USUALLY TAKES 14-21 DAYS. IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO ORDER PRODUCTS LIKE ALBUMS OR PRINTS, DELIVERY ON THOSE ITEMS CAN TAKE UP TO 60 DAYS, SO PLEASE KEEP THESE IN MIND WHEN BOOKING!

What if I don't know how to pose?

GIRL I GOT YOU. I'VE WORKED WITH HUNDREDS OF WOMEN ARE WHO ARE DOING BOUDOIR FOR THE FIRST TIME. I'M AN EXPERT AND HELPING WOMEN POSE THEIR BODIES WHILE FEELING COMFORTABLE AND NATURAL. 

What if I don't look like the other girls on your pages?

Then you're in the right place. 

Those girls don't look like you either! None of us look the same-- we're not supposed to! I would love to help you embrace who you are and everything that is unique and beautiful about you. 

Why don't you photoshop body shape?

I use the "two week Rule" when editing photos and by request only. I will edit things out of the images if they'll generally be gone in two weeks or less (think pimples, bruises bug bites, etc). I will not smooth skin or make your body slimmer. it's my job to make sure the world sees beautiful, real women with real bodies and to stop the objectification of women through harmful beauty standards. 

What should I do with my images?

THis is one of my favorite questions because it's absolutely endless! You can do so much with your photos! You can print them and make an album, you could get canvases and hang them up in your bedroom, you could could print a custom album and give it to someone you love. ENDLESS possibilities, and I've got tons of ideas, let me know you're interested in some and I'll spill the beans! 

Your gallery will be delivered within 14-21 days and you can download images right then. You'll be able to choose the images for your book and order products right from your gallery.
