Irina Slizskaya photography is Miami's premier boudoir studio, but we shoot clients all from all over the country. Through a passion for photography and a desire to help women discover their inner and outer beauty, I have cultivated a strong business presence helping women to truly believe in their beauty and themselves.
At Irina Slizskaya photography, I provide professional hair and makeup services not to make you look better, but to help you see that you are gorgeous.
It’s not about how you look but rather how you feel about the way you look. Confidence is truly a beautiful thing. Confidence is what we all need. Confidence, self acceptance and personality is what we bring out in the women we photograph. You are perfect now. It is our job to coach and find the model within you that has been there all along.
Some of us forget what it’s like to feel beautiful and strong along the way. We get to busy with our lives, our family & our jobs.
This experience is for you to feel that again… because you truly are perfect right now.
WHERE DO I START?
Once you arrive our professional hair/makeup artist will be ready to create the perfect look you’re going for! All you need to do it show up! Your retainer fee includes your professional hair/makeup services and we have sets/props that will create a variety of looks within your photoshoot. While you are in hair and makeup, I will go through your wardrobe and plan out your shoot. I use flattering lighting and of course we retouch (more on that later). I will pose you from the angles of your head the whole way down to your fingertips! As you can see there's nothing to worry about, we've got you covered!
With our all female staff you're in good hands, and I can't wait for your shoot! Once you book your shoot, we’ll send you a fun questionnaire where you can tell us exactly the look you’re going for! The day of your shoot, your stylist will be prepared to create the perfect look for you!
Professional hair and makeup is such an essential part of the boudoir photography experience; it can make or break your photo shoot and that’s why we only work with the best makeup and hair artists! I have two professional hair/makeup stylists that I've worked with for years. Not only do they know how to give you the perfect look you’re wanting, but most importantly they know how to do makeup for the particular lighting and retouching techniques we use.
Do you have a specific look in mind? In addition to your questionnaire, feel free to create a pinterest board and send us the link! info@iraskaya.com
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
One of the most common concerns about doing a boudoir shoot is, what will i wear? I ask our clients to bring 6-8 different looks, not including jerseys or button downs. Jersey's are cute, but not cute enough to shoot a whole set in. Also remember to bring a variety of items. A good rule of thumb is, if you would not wear it to work then it is probably perfect for your shoot!
When you book, you will start to receive a bunch of emails, spaced out from the time you book to the date of your shoot. It will include a guide that lists our favorite websites and also has information about different types of lingerie. It is very important that you bring your wardrobe so you know it fits you properly. Fit is SO important. I can not fix ill fitting lingerie in Photoshop.
If you have lots of ideas and outfits and you’re having trouble narrowing them down then we always recommend you bring it all! It is better to have too much than not enough.
POSING
I have photographed hundreds of women of all shapes and sizes. I will tell you everything to do, from the angles of your head the whole way to your toes. You don’t need to worry about a thing, you just need to simply show up for your session.
I have years of training in posing to ensure that you are always posed in the most flattering ways and under the most flattering lighting. Once it’s time for your shoot I will just ask you to do simple things such as: “bring that shoulder towards me, bring your chin forward a bit, now look up at me with your eyes, put your hand here, etc.” It’s super simple and again you don’t need to do anything to prepare for this.
THE TIMELINE AND INVESTMENT
To reserve your date, you first need to pay your retainer fee and schedule the shoot. I book 2-4 months in advance, so plan ahead. If you are just finding me and need your shoot asap, drop me an email. I try our best to fit everyone in and you may be in lucky!
On the day of your shoot, you will start in hair and makeup. This will take about an hour. while you are in hair and makeup, we will go through your wardrobe and plan out your shoot.
After you are done in hair and makeup, we start to shoot. We shoot for an hour to an hour and a half.
At the end of your shoot, we will pick a date for your ordering appointment. This will be 1-2 weeks later. That is when you will see your gorgeous images and make your purchasing decisions.
Albums and wall art will be delivered within 4-6 weeks.
We take credit cards, do a 5% discount if you pay in cash, and also offer no interest payment plans. If you choose this option, your images will be delivered after your plan is paid in full. If you purchase wall art or albums, you will receive your final order in 4-6 weeks or less.
Albums start at $1490. And you'll get a high resolution digital plus desktop print with each portrait ordered and investment goes up from there.. Some clients spend $1490, most spend more than that and a few spend several thousand. What a client ends up investing depends on many things including, how many images you want, what type of album you want, if you want wall art. Every client is different.
