01 · The experience

Comfort, Confidence & Privacy

Your session is planned around your purpose, comfort level and preferred degree of privacy.

Do I need to be confident or photogenic?

No. You do not need modelling experience or a particular body type. Careful lighting, clear direction and a pace that suits you are used to create considered photographs of the person you are now.

Do I need to know how to pose?

No. Kurt guides posture, expression and small adjustments throughout the session. The direction is adapted to you, the clothing and the style of photographs being created.

Can we discuss everything before I book?

Yes. You can discuss your idea, boundaries, clothing, privacy preferences and any concern before deciding whether to book. You can contact the studio by WhatsApp, secure contact form or an arranged call.

Will my photographs be used on the website or social media?

No photographs are published without your explicit written permission. Choosing a fully private session does not affect the care, direction or quality of the work. Read more about safety, privacy and confidentiality.

Can I remain anonymous in my photographs?

Yes. Cropping, shadow, silhouette, pose and framing can avoid showing your face while still producing intentional photographs. Tell me this preference during planning so it can guide the visual approach.

What happens if I feel uncomfortable?

You remain in control. You may pause, change an idea, add clothing or end the session. A photograph is never more important than your boundaries and consent.

Can I bring someone for support?

One trusted adult may usually accompany you if arranged beforehand. They should be supportive without distracting from the session. Children are not permitted in the studio.

How old must I be?

You must be at least 18 years old to book a boudoir, intimate, semi-nude or nude session. There is no upper age limit.

02 · Booking

Choosing & Reserving a Session

Availability and the final practical details are confirmed personally after your request.

How do I book a photography session?

Use the photography session booking form to select the closest session type, preferred date, package and optional extras. Your request is reviewed before availability is confirmed.

How far in advance should I book?

Submit your booking request as early as practical, especially when the photographs are needed for a particular date. Short-notice requests may be possible when the studio schedule allows.

Where is the studio?

The private studio is in Albion, Mauritius. Sessions are by appointment and the complete arrival details are shared after confirmation. The contact and studio location page includes a map link for directions.

Do you photograph couples and maternity clients?

Yes. Couples, maternity and individual sessions can be planned in the studio. Maternity and couple portraits under the stars can also be created when conditions permit.

Do you photograph all genders?

Yes. Portrait and intimate sessions are planned around the individual rather than a fixed idea of gender, while always respecting the agreed boundaries and style.

Can portrait and boudoir photographs be combined?

Yes. A session can move from clothed portraits to glamour or more intimate photographs. Mention this in your booking request so the time, clothing and lighting changes can be planned.

Can I reschedule if I am unwell?

Please contact the studio as soon as possible. The available rescheduling options depend on the notice given and the booking terms and conditions agreed for your session.

03 · Preparation

Clothing, Timing & Practical Details

A little preparation helps the session feel calm without making it rigid or overplanned.

What should I wear?

Choose clothing that supports the purpose and mood of your session. You may bring several options, and you can share photographs beforehand if you would like help refining the selection.

What if I do not own anything suitable?

Suitable photographs can be created with simple clothing, fabrics, a shirt, a jacket or carefully chosen accessories. For intimate sessions, you can also view the optional studio props collection.

Can I bring accessories or props?

Yes. Personal items can add meaning or help shape the visual story. Mention large, fragile or unusual props in advance so the studio setup can be prepared safely.

How should I prepare my skin, hair and makeup?

Avoid unfamiliar treatments immediately before the session. Arrive with the hair and makeup approach agreed during planning, and bring any products needed for simple touch-ups.

How long should I allow for the session?

Allow the booked photography time plus preparation, clothing changes and a short arrival period. You can review the available durations and photograph quantities on the photography session booking form; the expected total time is clarified when your session is confirmed.

What time should I arrive?

Arrive at the time stated in your confirmation. If your session includes preparation at the studio, your arrival time may be earlier than the photography start time.

04 · Afterwards

Selection, Editing & Delivery

Your photographs are carefully reviewed and finished before the selected images are delivered.

What happens after the photoshoot?

The photographs are reviewed, the strongest images are selected according to the agreed process, and the final choices are carefully edited before delivery.

When will I receive my photographs?

The delivery time depends on the session and package. Your expected timeline is explained when the booking is confirmed, and you will be contacted if an unusual delay occurs.

How will I receive the finished photographs?

Digital photographs are supplied through the delivery method agreed for your session. Access details are shared privately with you.

Can I choose the photographs in my final selection?

The selection process depends on the package. Where client selection is included, you will review the suitable proofs and choose the photographs to be fully finished.

Can I order prints or an album?

Yes. Selected sessions can include professional printing, canvas or a printed album. These options can be selected on the booking form or discussed before the final order.

Can I request specific edits?

You may discuss reasonable finishing preferences. Editing remains consistent with the studio’s photographic style and does not normally involve changing the fundamental appearance of a person.

Can I share my photographs online?

Yes, once payment and delivery conditions are complete. Please avoid applying filters that significantly alter the finished work, and crediting the studio is always appreciated.
