Thanks Leigh!

Here in Chicago my session was $300. I don't get print credit but I do the high resolution negatives on disc. I really wanted it to do a book so the prints really didn't matter to me.

Seeing the look on Andy's face when he see's my decked out bod in print.......priceless!

 

I'm going to the same gal Kate (Lala) went to......she's cheap, but super good!

I have not gotten the quote back from my photog, but I think it will be $350 with a $100 print credit. The album will probably cost $300-400. It is the smae photog that is shooting my wedding, so I have already paid to have ownership of all the pictures taken. I will let you know when I confirm my prices.

I read the post title too quickly and thought it said the cost of BAD photo, I was thinking that would have to be pretty cheap! LOL

The books are usually 20 - 30 pages long, depending on the design. It takes 4-6 weeks to publish the book, so all in all, about 8 weeks after you give me your selections. A disc of images is not included with the session, but can be purchased for $400. I don't know if it is too much or not. She is an excellent photographer from what I see in on her website.

That sounds almost exactly like the BD album that just arrived today of mine!! It looks great and I can see why it's called a pillow book instead of a coffee table book, b/c yo wouldn't want it on the coffee table anyway. lol

I evidently got a KICk-A$$ fabulous deal on mine!

It was my photogs 1st BD session, so the shoot was also able to help her build her BD portfolio. I paid $165 for the session and book (20 pages). I think I actually only paid for the book now that I see all of these higher prices (I need to send her a HUGE thank you!) And our shoot was like 4-hours, so I am so grateful that I found her! WOW!!!

P.S. I didn't get a CD with the images or any prints, though, aside from the BD album, but I can order some from Pictage, which I am going to do.

Anyone in Dallas gotten BD photos done yet??

photographer's prices are so subjective. i think when it comes to photography, especially something super intimate like boudoir, you have to find someone whose work and personality you connect with #1! price has to be secondary.

try to find someone who specializes in boudoir. when you are wearing next to nothing, its critical that you are posed in a flattering way. the more experience someone has the better. bad body positioning can make a skinny girl have rolls you know?
