Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at beeskneesbabes@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

The best gallery of my photos is on Instagram @bees.knees.boudoir


The studio is located on the 2nd Floor of the Historic Cortland Corset Factory. You'll fall in love with this building just like I did. 75 East Court St. Cortland NY Elevator access if needed. Just ask.


My editing style does include some light editing, but the most are meant to highlight you as you are. Wrinkles, cellulite, scars, and stretch marks are welcome here and will nbe visible in your final photos. 


Depending on your package you will have 2 -4 outfit changes. I encourage you to bring extra and let me help you pick. You will also have access to my small but growing client closet. 

Most important, wear what makes you feel sexy, and like yourself! Often I feel less is more, why not take a walk on the wild side?


Consider me your personal cheerleader for the duration of our shoot (and probably long after) I will direct you through posing so everything feels natural. As an experienced dance teacher I feel this is one of my specialties. I love understanding and making shapes with bodies!


Of course! Every photo you see I have gotten permission to use. You never have to feel any pressure to share them at all.


Please come to your shoot ready to rock and roll. You do not need a full face of makeup to be photo ready if fact you can come just as you are. I'm a big fan of some false lashes and a touch of color on your lips. 

Occasionally I offer sessions with Danielle Saint Velvet that do include Hair and Makeup. Please reach  out to me if you're interested in this. 


Still feeling a little nervous about booking? I'm happy to answer any questions that you have! Ask away.
