"Melisa is absolutely amazing and extremely talented. She does a great job making sure you are comfortable (despite how nervous I was when I got there) and confident.

Right after your session, you'll take a break for lunch, and then it's time for your view & order meeting. We'll watch a slideshow of your images and admire what a babe you are! Together we'll narrow down your favorites and choose your favorite products. You'll pay in full, and then 4-6 weeks later your order arrives!

Your Unique Experience
Enjoy a full day of pampering and leave feeling like a super model! At Melisa Ford Boudoir the entire day is dedicated to you. We only book one client in a day so there's no rush and the attention is all on YOU for the day. This means my makeup artist isn't rushing out to the next gig, I'm not checking my time or rushing poses, and you can relax knowing my focus and attention is all on you for the day.
On the day of your session, we start with hair and makeup at 8:00 am. After you are all dolled up, it's session time! I will guide, direct and demonstrate every pose and help you with facial expressions. You will have received my prep guide so you'll know how important stretching the night before is and getting a good nights sleep.
Next is the best part...seeing your images the same day! After a lunch break you will come back and view a gorgeous slideshow of your images. I will help you choose your favorites, or you may just love them all! During your reveal and design consultation, this is where you will be able to design your album, choose wall art, and pick out your favorite portrait products.
"100% recommend booking with Melisa! I have done two shoots with her now and will definitely be back for more. She is great with making you feel comfortable and literally poses you down to the smallest detail, so dont worry if you have never done this before! The boudoir barn is so beautiful and so is the drive there. My nerves completely melted away as soon as we started and Melisa made the whole experience a blast! Self confidence is through the roof after seeing my photos." -Clara
