The Insider's Guide to
Show Your Spark
A Spark Experience is more than a portrait session. It’s a life experience that offers you self-confidence, reclaiming of your body and your story, and a re-training of your brain to believe that you can do something daring and have good things come from it. Your decision to embark on this experience reflects a powerful commitment to yourself and your journey, and we're honored to be your chosen studio to help you on this mission!
I’ll let you in on a secret - are you ready?
If you are nervous, that’s normal!
That means you're stepping outside your comfort zone, where magic happens. Don't worry, we'll turn those jitters into pure excitement by guiding you every step of the way. You can expect a personalized experience with us from start to finish. We designed this website to help you plan and prepare for your upcoming session. As you scroll, you will find information about our products, collections, sets, bonus scenes, policies, and other prep tips. Rest assured, we've got your back throughout this process. You will hear from us regularly through email with tips and tricks from me leading up to your session, but always please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns that we can help you with! I can't wait to see you in the studio!

Our pricing is super simple
Two parts:
The Standard Session Fee is $500, payable at the time of booking to secure your Spark Session date and includes hair and makeup, plus your first two outfits. This fee covers the experience itself and is not applied towards any A la Carte products or Collections, which are purchased separately.
All photographs are sold separately from the Session Fee. Our beautiful Fine Art Products begin at $1,500, while our Spark Signature Collections start at $2,900.
To ensure we can best prepare for your session and allow you to pay for what you want at a pace that suits you, we require Pre-Session Payments towards an a la carte Product or a Collection. Please see more on our Payment Policy page here.

We’re on the South Shore of Boston in the Weymouth Landing neighborhood of Braintree! Fun fact: our studio lies almost directly on the border between Weymouth and Braintree, so sometimes the GPS will display Weymouth or Braintree depending on which system you use. It’s conveniently close to the RT3 and 93 for people coming from all over Massachusetts (South Shore, North Shore, Cape Cod, Metrowest, Boston, or Rhode Island). If you’re flying in, it’s about 20-40 minutes from Logan Airport (BOS) in Boston, or one hour from TF Green (PVD) in Providence. Our clients come from all over! There is free street parking outside of the studio.

Your Spark Experience Session fee includes hair and make-up. Your day at the studio will begin with pampering from an expert hair and make-up artist hand-selected for you! She will help enhance your one of a kind beauty and style the look you want to achieve. While you’re in the hair and make-up chair, I’ll be styling your wardrobe looks and creating a setlist based on the pieces you’ve brought with you and what you’d like to bring out in your photographs. Once your hair and make-up is complete, you’ll hop into your dressing room and then we’ll begin the session.
1. What About Hair & Makeup?
Your Session Fee includes your private use of the studio all day. We only book one client per day to allow time for you to warm up at your own pace + truly step into your power. Hair and make-up begins at 9:30 or 10:30, and the Ordering Session concludes by 4pm.

FAQs
Through the Spark Experience, we'll celebrate your essence by highlighting your triumphs, challenges, successes, and imperfections. All of this is what makes you the unique, strong, badass human you are! I'll expertly pose you to accentuate your favorite features and boost your confidence.
We won't alter your body shape so we don't contribute to a sense of body dysmorphia, but we do light skin smoothing and remove impermanent blemishes. You can request additional edits during the ordering appointment, but we won't change your authentic self.

5. Can I pay over time?
It's completely normal to feel unsure about posing during a boudoir session, especially if you're not a professional model. Don't worry, as your boudoir photographer, I'll guide you every step of the way! I have years of experience working with all kinds of clients, from all walks of life.
I'll direct you on how to move, where to place your hands, and how to position your body in the most flattering way possible. We'll work together to create poses that suit your unique personality and style, and that highlight your best features. You don't need to be a model to look amazing in your photos, you just need to trust me and have fun with the process!
At Show Your Spark, we celebrate your inner spark and embrace your scars. As a photographer, I focus on mastering the pose, light, and emotion, not scrutinizing your body. Don't let fear of being seen prevent you from creating empowering images that you'll love.
6. I'm not a model, What if I don't know how to pose?
We recommending scheduling your session at least two months before you want to receive your products.
However, there’s no need to wait to schedule your session. We book dates as far as a year out!
We also offer monthly payment plans so you are paid in full before you arrive at our studio. The farther out you book a session, the more time you will have to prepare financially for this special experience.
7. When should I book?
The Spark Fund is your pre-session payment plan that lets you invest in yourself at your own pace. You deserve an empowering photographic experience, and we'll help you get there on your budget.
When you sign up for your Spark Fund, you’ll choose your payment plan amount and frequency. On your consult call, you'll go over all the details and my team will work with you to determine the best time for your Spark Experience.
The Spark Fund prepares you to show up and shine, even if it takes a little time to save up for this life-changing experience.
