It’s true! We’ve teamed up with our friends at Groupon to offer our fans, friends, clients, and soon-to-be client-friends a fantastic New Year’s Boudoir Deal! January 2nd-5th pop over to Groupon Boston and check us out. Below is everything you need to know about our Boudoir shoots! If after reading these FAQ’s you still have questions, our phone number is at the bottom, we’re happy to take your calls! And make sure you “LIKE” us on FACEBOOK, for all of our updates on the shoots!

I JUST BOUGHT THE GROUPON, YIPPEE! HOW DO I SCHEDULE MY SHOOT?
Right HERE. This website will take you to our site where you can schedule your boudoir shoot. There are currently 13 possible dates you can choose from. Please arrive 15-20 minutes before your scheduled shoot time for check-in and changing. IF YOU BOUGHT THE GROUPON WITH HAIR AND MAKEUP: Please arrive ONE HOUR before your shoot time to be pampered by our incredible hair and makeup crew.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY BOUDOIR SHOOT?
The Groupon deal gets you 45 glorious minutes with Kate or Lara for what is sure to be a transformative experience. Our photoshoots are held in a beautiful 2000 square foot  loft studio space in Framingham, MA. The space has two bathrooms, and several changing rooms, and two hair and makeup stations! We have  several different sets dressed to impress. We bring our equipment: cameras, lighting, fans, sequin pillows, luxurious fabrics, hair, makeup and INSPIRATION! You bring your best smile and bedroom eyes, and be ready to have a blast. You can get a really great sense of the shoot right here in this little video!

WHO WILL BE IN THE STUDIO WHILE I’M HAVING MY PHOTOS TAKEN? CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
Your session is completely private. The only other people who will be in the studio space – in areas separate from the actual shooting sets – are other clients and our team of assistants and stylists. You can certainly bring a friend  if you’d like! The more, the merrier.

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING? CAN I BRING PROPS? HOW MANY OUTFITS CAN I CHANGE INTO? HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO BARE?
What do you bring? Anything goes! You may bring as many outfits as you like, but please be aware we may only have time for one outfit change. You may have also noticed we like to keep it classy. If you’d like to bring a few options to get our opinion of what works best on camera, we’re more than happy to help! Here is a short list of some recommendations:

-high heels
-fish net stockings
-corsets
-bra & panties
-your beau’s favorite sports team jersey
-plain white T shirt or tank top
-little shorts
-skirts
-business attire : white-collared shirt
-anything retro pin-up inspired

Personalize your shoot! Do you love photography? Maybe bring a vintage camera! Does your beau LOVE the redsox? Maybe red panties and a baseball glove will do it! 
Veil, lace gloves, football, guitar, hats: 
You get the idea!
We recommend checking out Intimacy, Victoria’s Secret, Agent Provocateur, Frederick’s of Hollywood, and believe it or not: Target has great underwear!

WILL YOU HELP ME WITH THE POSING? I’M NOT A SUPERMODEL.
Of course we will! While Studio Nouveau isn’t all about posing to the high-school-senior-portrait degree, we have no problem giving direction and still keeping it light and fun. We know what poses work with different bodies, and we want you to have a great time working with us – that’s how you get the best, most honest shots of every kind of beauty.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SHOOT? HOW LONG BEFORE I CAN SEE MY IMAGES? 
3-5 weeks* after the shoot you will receive a link to your password protected online gallery of images. There are about 25 fully retouched images in the gallery. You may share the link and password with whomever you choose.
You may order professional prints through that website, and albums and other product can be ordered though the Studio directly.

Your Groupon deal includes either 2 or 4 digital files. Once you have selected the files you like, please email and notify us. We will email you these files in an effort to reduce waste, however, if you feel you need the files on a CD that is fine. Further instructions on product will be emailed to you along with your image gallery.
*If you’re working on a tight deadline for wedding presents, etc. please notify us. We’ll do our best to accommodate!

DO YOU GUYS RETOUCH THE IMAGES? CAN YOU WORK WITH MY INSECURITIES?
All women have hang-ups! Don’t love your stomach? Like your left side better than your right side? Please let us know this before we start shooting. We do our best to pose and shoot you in the most flattering angles and light.  And what nature gave us, Photoshop can enhance but we won’t know what you’re shy about unless you tell us!

ARE MY PHOTOS KEPT PRIVATE? WILL YOU BE BLOGGING MY SHOOT?
Your photos are kept private in a password protected gallery, you will be the only person we give that password to. You can rest assured that unless we specifically  ask your written permission about  a certain image or two, your bombshell shots will not show up unexpectedly anywhere, EVER!

I WANT TO GIVE THESE PHOTOS AS A VALENTINE’S DAY PRESENT, WILL THEY BE READY?
The only dates we can guarantee product delivery for Valentine’s day are the January 14th and January 15th spots. We are going to work our BUTTS off to get the images from January 28th and January 29th released to you in time, but albums and other product most likely will not be ready.

I BOUGHT THE GROUPON WITH HAIR & MAKEUP, WHO WILL BE DOING THAT?
For the past four years we have been consistently working with Danielle Coates and her amazing team. You can see her at work in the video at the top of the page, and ALL hair and makeup you see in our Boudoir Gallery on our website is her work. She’s the bees knees.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS? Please feel free to email: (groupon@thestudionouveau.com) or call Lara & Kate at the Studio (617-855-5272) and we’ll be happy to answer your questions. We are expecting an influx of calls and emails due to this Groupon, so please be patient if you don’t get through the first time. We will return your call or email by the end of the day.

We cannot WAIT to meet our new Bombshells!!  xoxo  lara & kate
